You're either with me on this or against me. There is no middle ground.

They're stupid - they serve no real purpose other than..........well, they serve no purpose at all, I s'pose.
They're for people that think they have to add/change a rule in their fantasy league every freaking year or they get antsy.

Krazy Ivan beat me by something like .55 one year for the championship. He disagrees with you.

The Bears beat the Colts by 20.48 points yesterday. Luckily Cutler scrambled for 5 yards instead of 4 on that play in the 2nd quarter.

If your players score 14.45 points, 16.40 points, and 17.15 points, then together they would score 48 points. Without the fractions, they would only score 47 points. Also, I don't believe in non-fraction leagues they round up, meaning your team could be leaving 10-12 points on the table every game because of it.

So I got BC on my side.

Who else?

Pretty hard to tie in fractional point leagues. That is why I like them.

I concur. I also hate leagues that reward guys with a point for every 10 yards. Why not get a point for taking a dump?

That is the main reason I voted for switching my (non-CSFMB approved) league over to fractional this year. There's also the rare day where your RB gets 29 yards, your WR gets 109, and your TE gets 88 yds and you lose by a point... but then again, that can happen against you just as often. Maybe once every four years or so.

I don't see what the problem is considering it's FANTASY FOOTBALL.

He actually didn't lose, but you know how people his age are. They don't like anything that's a bit different then the norm. Hell when color TV came out for the first time he refused to come out of his room for a month.

Completely agree with you!


they are stupid, look really bad when you look at the scores and they take away from the drama of needing a player to get that one extra yard in order for you to get that point you need.

Won my fantasy game this weekend by .30. Like the rule this week, could hate it next.

I won by less than a point also. But guess what?

I would have won without fractional points also!

I lost by .6 this week, so hate it. When I win by .5 next week, love it.

Not sure if that's true. (the .55 part, not the win)

I like 'em. I usually like most things spanky is opposed too, though...

Remember that when you miss the playoffs by 1 game. That 1/2 game might have saved your whole season, but man, ties are the devil.



Also - Still hasn't mattered in the league that doesn't exist.

I would very much like for Lipid to accept my trade offer in the league that doesn't exist.

Lipid texted me that your trade offer sucked, do better, in the league that doesn't exist.

In that league that doesn't exist, it sure doesn't feel good to get your ass whooped.

Post subject:  Re: Fractional points in fantasy football are stupid

In the league that doesn't exist, I sure would like to play someone other then one of the top two scorers for the week.

Cue Spanky saying something about a whambulance or something very clever like that. He's just pissed that his season was pretty much over after his first round draft pick was Chris Johnson.

I have him in another league too. :cry: :x

Be happy you don't have Chris Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. I heard someone drafted those two with their first and second round picks. That's just throwing away good money. :D :D

I'm finally getting rid of that pesky RGIII character in the league that doesn't exist.

Author:  spanky [ Tue Sep 18, 2012 11:54 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Fractional points in fantasy football are stupid

Right, my season is over because of Johnson, yet I'm ahead of you in the standings. Strange game......
