Weird Fantasy Football fact - I have 2 ties this season!!

[TheNinja]

This week was 137-137 so it's not like we are tying 40-40 or something. Now that you know you can carry on with your day. Thanks.

Did you win the tiebreaker?

I've had one tie game so far this year but ended up winning the TB.

You don't use fractional points?

 

[Crusty]

Fun fact, I lost a game by .009 pts, but due to rounding the scores are always displayed as equal. So it appears we tied, and I should have won the tie breaker.... but since ESPN doesn't show 3 digits of precision we didn't actually tie.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Pretty rare, all leagues should have tiebreakers though. I had 3 ties in one season back in 2006 I think and won each because of kicker points. It was in a TD league however where scores are generally low and ties aren't unheard of. Fractions I could deal without honestly, it's ticky-tack but at least with fractions it's pretty hard to tie.

 

[TheNinja]

No Tie Breaker for regular season games in my league I guess.

 

[JujuFish]

I wouldn't want a tiebreaker in the regular season. If two teams are that evenly matched, why should one get saddled with a loss and the other a win, unless it's the playoffs where someone has to win?

You don't use fractional points?

This. Every league should use fractional points.

 

[TheNinja]

This. Every league should use fractional points.

We've had the same managers and same point system for like 12 years. We started before there were even fractional points available I think. It's old school I know but makes it easy to rank players from year to year.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

there is no excuse for not using fractions.

fail league.

 

[TheNinja]

Btw, does real football use fractions and partial points? I'm just curious.

Extremely rare once they started doing an overtime period. The fact that he has had two ties already this season after 8 weeks means that something should change with the scoring system. The last tie in an nfl game was in 2008.

When I played FF, we did not have fractional scoring and did have ties. I went four years without a tie, then had two in a row.

It is not that big of a deal.

:hmm:

(In the voice of Jim Mora).....

Fractions!?.....fractions?!.....you kiddin' me?....fractions?

Excuse me, I have to go buy a USA Today so I can add up my league's points with pencil and paper.

Ties are annoying, but they happen. Move on.

How? What gives let than .1 point?

 

[Crusty]

My bad, meant to say less than .09. The final scores were 100.54 vs 100.46, ESPN rounds them on all displays to 100.5.
