2005 Supplemental Rule Proposal
-
Toilet Bowl, II Failed 9-6
Each week of the regular season, the team with the lowest point total
will contribute $5 to the Toilet Bowl fund. If there is a tie in
any given week, all teams involved will contribute $5. The Toilet
Bowl will consist of the eight non-playoff teams. Opponents will
select each others starting lineups. The losing team advances.
The "winner" of the Toilet Bowl will win the Toilet Bowl fund. In
order to assure that the Toilet Bowl "winner" receives his winnings if a
franchise abandons the league, dues will be collected one season
in advance.
-
Commish's note: This will
accomplish two things. First, it will encourage teams to pay
attention to their lineups, even when the playoffs are out of reach.
Teams that truly suck will have a good chance at winning their money
back because they have a good chance of winning the Toilet Bowl.
Second, it gives the seven non-playoff teams (only seven because BAY
is a given every season) something to look forward to.

Commish note: You saw the numbers
it produced (if you forget, I can resend it to you). We'll
never have the perfect scoring system for a team unit in an
individually based scoring system, but this looks very promising.
Worthy of serious consideration.
