Happy Holidays to everyone!

CleeShay is on a trip to Vegas, and won't return until New Year's eve at the earliest. He asked me to handle payouts and run the draft for him since he won't be by a computer for a week. The following is written by him:

I'd like to thank everyone for making this year run ridiculously smoothly. I can only think of one or two instances where we had an issue, and it was resolved in a relatively timely manner. I was a little nervous about dealing with multiple entries, but it didn't seem to have a problem at all. Before I explain how the payouts and playoff pool will work, I'd like to take the time to thank RJA for helping me out with this. Without him, we wouldn't have had money to be paid out, as circumstances came up during the season which made me unable to hold the money. I explained to him a situation (which I won't delve into) of why I chose to hold the money rather than have Chaz do it, and he agreed to hold it rather than me ask Chaz to take it. Now, he's going to be helping payout and run the playoff draft while I am out of town, so I can't thank him enough.

As for payouts:

Each individual league will pay out $240 to first and $120 to second. I ask that the COMMISHES post a screenshot of their league's playoff bracket in this thread once the season is over (RJA will be posting the screenshot from my league: League #1). This will ensure no shennanigans will occur. The first and second place finishers will then post in this thread stating which team (from which league) they are in. RJA will then update the OP of this thread with the finishes (it will be below). I've urged RJA to wait until all 12 winners come forward prior to paying people out, just to ensure no issues occur. Also, if you and your finals opponent decided to split, please do it among yourselves. We will pay out $240 to 1st and $120 to 2nd, regardless of what you two would like to do (again, to ensure no issues occur).

As for Playoff Pool (from the megaleague OP):

OT FFB Playoff Pool - At the end of the NFL Regular Season, the 5 divison champions + the 1 highest remaining point totals will go on to play a Fantasy Playoff Pool for the main pool (what everyone put $20 in for). The league will draft from scratch, be a points league (as opposed to head-to-head), and play all 4 weeks of the playoffs.

All the Individual League winners get together and determine draft order randomly. All teams are wiped clean and all players whose IRL team made it to the postseason are put into the draft pool. People then draft players one at a time snake style (standard draft) to fill their roster. The catch is that once a players team is eliminated IRL, they clearly cannot gain you more points. So you have to have the right balance of high scoring players and players that will get to play more games than everyone else. There are no add/drops in the this league, and there is no bench.

First place in this league will be $800, second will be $400

Please, each league post a screenshot of their REGULAR SEASON standings so that we can determine the team with the highest point total which did not win their league, as they are the wild card.

I should be back in time to do the draft thread, as we can't start that until after week 17 (since thats when we know whos in the playoffs) although the draft order can be decided this week.

Thanks to everyone who made this easy to run, to RJA for helping me down the stretch, and good luck to everyone in the playoff pool.

Yeah or sick brag that he's one of the few non-scammers despite the fact that he gets scammed in other contests here lol

I'm about to post the screenshots for the leagues run by CleeShay and I, hopefully everyone can get theirs up soon so I can start the payouts, I'd also appreciate if the winners could make a post on their league page with their p5s/stars names so I can confirm who everyone is before I start sending out the money. Thanks.

doubt you're real

Chris Johnson and Jonathan Stewart had a sick few weeks, with Welker and Romo holding it down as well. I had 6 straight wins to end the season (including playoffs).

But I luckboxed into the playoffs by 3 season-total points!

dont worry, Randers will post the info at some pt today....

Ha yea I know what you mean, was kind of a weak championship match scorewise, but it did come down to the wire. I had both Mason and MJD in another league for the championship and lost by 2 points, that Mason drop was crazy.

tkeat1653 same on stars, 2nd place in League 1

I won league 3. stars name is also TheAlbatross. Thx again to everyone that had a hand in organizing and running this. As usual it was a lot of fun and ffb is something I look forward to every year.

League 5

I want to start sending out but I can't until the commishes post the screenshots of everything, and the winners please just make a post on your Yahoo league page saying your stars and p5s names and paste me a screenshot that way I can avoid any possible problems, whenever I see those for each person I can send the money.

not sure who they all are, but have you tried PMing them?

League 4, also not the commish.
