We are looking to make a change in the Playoff Brackets. If we get a big 
enough "favorable" response, we will implement it this season. (if not, it 
will almost definitely go into effect next season)           * * * Let us 
know your opinion * * *

* Top 5 teams make the playoffs, as usual. (3 Division Winners, and next 
best 2 Teams by record)
* Then the 6th seed will be the Top Scoring team from the other seven teams.

This way, a team that had a "good" season, and scored a lot of points, but 
ALSO had a lot of points scored against them will still make the playoffs. 
(we researched a lot of leagues over the past 2 years, and this rule would 
have helped out more than a few "deserving" teams.)

This will also help those teams out that score 160 points one week, only to 
have their opponent score 170 ! (and when that team scoring 160 would have 
beat any other team that week)

For the playoffs:
Week 14 - The Top Two Seeds will have a BYE
                  #3 Seed plays #6 Seed
                  #4 Seed plays #5 Seed

Week 15    #4 Seed-#5 Seed Winner plays the #1 Seed
                  #3 Seed-#6 Seed Winner plays the #2 Seed

Week 16   The two Winners Play for the Championship
                 The two losers  Play for the 3rd Place


The Consolation Bracket will most likely stay the same, with the next best 4 
teams playing.
