Tie break is determined by overall total points scored by your team. I think that's pretty standard as it's been that way in every league of which I've been a part. I think it's done this way because you can't just go by division record on account of wildcard slots often being up for grabs between multiple teams from multiple divisions. Total points scored also seems to be a better measure of a team's overall success throughout the season as opposed to picking out one exceptionally good or bad week as the determing factor. Our league is a good example of this as the final two wild card slots will probably come down to a total points scored tie break between two or more teams since at present seven are in contention.
The other option is you can always send a little $ to the league managers paypal account... shhh, it'll be our secret.
Holy Smoke!Life gets in the way and some things have to give. But I am #2 in my other one which nets me $1200 right now if I make it.
That rocks Jessica. I think it would be cool if we did something similar to this next year. Nothing expensive, but maybe everyone chips in $20 and the champion gets a new iPod or Apple gift card.
My guys are underperforming like usual, but that isn't my problem this week.
Brandon Marshall is my problem.
MHL, this is coming down to the wire. If either of us wins and the other loses, the winner gets the bye. If we both win/lose, I need to have 10+ points on you this week to get the bye.
Just simply amazing how one bye is being decided with a head-to-head division game and the other comes down to the last game and possibly a tiebreaker that is within 10 pts.

Sucks for you Creator, it looks like, as of now, that I'll be beating MHL.
Lets just hope imaketouchtheme loses, that way I can get into the playoffs.

I don't think he will be a problem this week. I haven't been able to see his numbers yet, but 200 plus yards and 20 plus receptions!!! I can only imagine what they will be...
He is a problem when you are facing him.
Looks like I let that bye slip away pretty quick. Just have to win an extra game now.
Marshall has what I think is the highest individual week so far, with 53 points!
In other news I'm leading by 1 point with wvuwhat still to play Steve Breaston tonight, so I think I'm a goner. Of course, he could always put up Moss-like numbers and net 0 points too.
I was so pumped when the Titans got the last INT at the end of the game yesterday, putting me over the top! (for the moment).
If I finish at 7-7 along with several other players, how does the tiebreaker work for the playoffs?
Edit: I see that the tiebreaker is total points for.

Total points scored by your team is the tiebreaker. So if there are multiple teams with the same record then they will be ranked for playoff contention by who's team has the highest overall total points scored for the season.
As far as Marshall having the highest individual score I think it might be Chris Johnson. I know Brees put up 51 points in one of the first few games and I thought Chris Johnson had done better than that. I'll have to check.
With the total points tiebreaker I have the following team rankings for those of us on the bubble (all at 7-7):
Pittsburgh is in with 1587 points.
I'm currently next with 1474, but fireshot is right behind with 1449 and both Anquan and Larry still to play tonight, so they're the next favorites.
Jessica and wvuwhat are farther down with 1283 and 1354 and look to be eliminated.
Fireshot also needs 37 points more than the 49rs D (and that's pretty directly correlated) from Mssr. Boldin and Fitzgerald to win his matchup this week and get to 7-7. Any less than that and he finishes at 6-8 and I'm the last qualifier.
Boy will I be rooting for a strong 49er D and Arizona running attack tonight!

Oh how I wish Larry Fitz and Boldin both score at least 25 points each, like last week. (28, 28 last week)
Screw it, at this point, I need both Fitzgerald and Boldin to score 50 points each so I can get into the playoffs.

How exciting! Last week the Boldin/Fitzgerald combo were my undoing with each putting up 28 points. I certainly didn't think Warner would come back from the concussion so strong and no one thought they would put the smack down like that against the Vikings whose defense is much better than the 49ers. This one is going to be close all the way around.
Gah, refs ruled that catch as an incomplete pass.
Then, after that, Warner threw an interception. Third Arizona turnover already. I'm done watching this game. Safe to assume that I lost this week, making me out of the playoffs.

Yep, after going back and checking the stats i was correct. Brees put up 51 points against Detroit in week one and Chris Johnson put up 54 points in week two against Houston. There's no doubt there have been some truly amazing individual player performances this season.
Seriously, that was an ugly game for the Cards, 7 turnovers! The 49er defense caused a lot of those turnovers with their aggressive play. Warner and the boys will have to do much better if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs.
Week 14 results and season statistics will be posted soon.

Sometimes being a powerhouse pays off. We can watch the first round of the playoffs from our comfortable first round bye thrones.

What ever...... Both you guys/gals suck!!! LOL...... Nothing like sweating out a first round win!!! Makes you tougher against those who had it off!!! LOL.. That is what I keep telling myself!!!!!!
At this point, I'll take any break I can get. Teams are going to start sitting their starters soon, and that's when a fantasy player's guts and cunning really start showing through.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... Whatever...... LOL
If you win in the first round then we face off again. I haven't yet decided if that's a good thing or if it will be my undoing. I just love the drama of fantasy football and boy has our league had it in abundance this year.
You are telling me... I don't do a lot of trash talking but man, this by far is my favorite league. I am in two of them and I have been in quite a few over the years and by far.....this one of the better ones I have been involved in.
Crap, I hope I don't face you AGAIN..
And crap that was a freaking close game at the end..... I didn't sit my one WR that was injured. Dang it!!
I don't care that I didn't get the bye. I don't even care what any other team is going to do from here on out.
I just want my guys to play to their expected results. If they could just do that I would be GOLDEN.
*I know it's orange, yellow doesn't show up...

Week 14 Results
Sorry this is late folks I've been busy with getting ready to go out of town for the holidays.
Last week's high scorer was Miller High Life who put up 148 with Andre Johnson leading his team by scoring 42 points on his own. However, the most valuable player on his team was definitely the 49ers D that not only put up 24 points but shut down the opponents Cardinals WR's. The individual highest scoring player of the week was Brandon Marshall (imaketouchtheme) who totaled 53 points on 21 catches, 200 yards, and 2 TD's.
Well, tonight's game kicks off the playoffs and boy did it come down to the wire regarding who made the post season. The playoff bracket with seeding and match ups are as follows:
#1 mscriv claiming a first round bye and playing the winner of #3 Berlin Pretzels vs. #6 Team Gauchoholics
#2 miller high life claiming a first round bye and playing the winner of #4 Rhett7660 vs. #5 imaketouchtheme
Rhett7660 easily secured a playoff wild card with his 9-5 record. The remaining two spots came down to a tiebreaker between the Gauchoholics, imaketouchtheme, jessica, and wvuwhat who all finished at 7-7. The two teams with highest scoring totals over the course of the season got in while the other two came up short. For those of you who didn't make the playoffs there is a consolation bracket so don't quit managing your team just yet.
