Tie breakers are in this order. Head to Head, Divisional Record, Vote Differential, Coin Flip

 

Homefield advantage carries through the first round of the playoffs and the semifinals and the Bizz bowl is on a neutral field. 
 

This is BDL rules. 

Lol I so desperately want to see this

A tie really is the worst way to "lose," I wasn't expecting a guaranteed win but I was at least expecting an actual result. Sucks to end the season on that.

 

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to complain about the result in terms of me making the playoffs or not or even against ties in general, just say it's a very lackluster way to miss out on continuing my season.

BDL Awards

@Scoundrel@Ragnarok@Jlash@Blue@MWil23@MD4L@wwhickok@RTTRUTH@LAOJoe@Whicker@Daniel@Pickle Rick@The Orca@PR@RuskieTitan@ny92mike@rackcs@EaglesPeteC@bcb1213@RedGold@SirA1@pheltzbahr@TedLavie@WFLukic

Waiver Wire and Draft Picks

Hey everyone, we had an exciting finish to the season with a number of games that had playoff implications. Now some are starting their playoff runs while others (like me) are at home twiddling their thumbs. We've all got opinions about who really makes impacts in this league so let's see who is right. For each of the categories below, PM me up to 3 names in a ranked order for each category. Your number 1 pick is the owner or player you think is most deserving of that award. Number 1 picks will get 3 points, the second choice 2 points, and the third choice gets 1 point. The owner or player with the most points will win that award.

Feel free to do as many or as few of the categories as you like but keep in mind that the best results will come from people providing input. The deadline for receiving these picks will be Wednesday, December 21. This gives people just under two weeks to get their ballots in. I will the reveal the winners on the 22nd, the Thursday before the BizzBowl. I've tagged everyone on the owner/co-owner spots in the workbook plus a few others but if there's anyone else who you think has followed enough to be able to contribute, feel free to tag them. I have provided another post with links to all waiver pickups and draft classes. Without further ado, here are the categories.

Best Executive
This award goes to the owner that people feel did the best job assembling their team this season. Whether through FA, the draft, trades, or even the waiver wire, the person who wins this award was someone who obtained good players on good deals and found those diamonds in the rough.

Best Coach
This award goes to the owner-coach who puts his players in the best position to succeed week in and week out. The person whose gameplans are always on point and can give anyone a run for their money on any given Sunday, regardless of the talent on their roster.

Best Draft Class
This award goes to the person who you feel had the best draft class. Maybe they picked the sure-fire day one starters or maybe they found some upside guys who contributed early. Who do you think got the most value out of their draft picks?

Best Waiver Claim
This award is for the owner who had the foresight to grab that guy when nobody else would. Did someone grab a guy right before you just because he had a higher preference in the waiver order? That guy is a son of a *****, but he might also have the best waiver claim of the year.

MVP
This award is for the most valuable player. We all know what an MVP is. Which player had the biggest affect at taking his team to the next level. Who was the QB...I mean player who always made you think, "Yeah, they probably get the win because of him."

Offensive Player of the Year
This award goes to the most offensive player in the league. And by that I mean the one who puts in the most work on offense, not the biggest *******. This is the player who just makes plays week in and week out for his team's offense.

Defensive Player of the Year
This award is for the player who has the biggest defensive impact on his team. He's the guy who made your life hell when you had to gameplan for him that week, who always gives trouble to the opposing offense.

Offensive Rookie of the Year
This award goes to the rookie on offense who stepped in day one and made an impact. It doesn't matter if they were the first overall pick or someone who got picked up in the shark tank.

Defensive Rookie of the Year
This award is for the rookie who balled out on defense all year. Maybe they're a CB who shut down opposing WRs. Maybe it's a pass rusher who made life hell for the opposing QBs. Maybe it's an INT guy who blows **** up at the line on a regular basis.

Comeback Player of the Year
This award is for a player who came on strong this year after struggling in the previous one. They could have struggled because of an injury or just had a down year. Whatever the reason, they made a huge improvement on the previous year.

Breakout Player of the Year
This is for the non-rookie player who broke out big time this year. Don't call it a comeback, because they haven't ever played like this before. A guy who really stepped up out of nowhere and made an impact on the BDL landscape.

A little less time to do these than normal this year but I wanted to make sure I'd be able to do it on time this year. I normally schedule it to end during my winter break but then I get busy with holiday/family stuff and end up having to postpone the awards reveal. I want to do it in a timely manner this year so the deadline is a little earlier and I'll be posting the results right before I go on break.

You can choose up to 3 ranked candidates for these categories. You don't have to include 3 candidates but the results are weaker overall when people only choose 1 candidate per category instead of 3 for each one. Also, try to consider these categories in a BDL context, there will mostly be overlap in most categories but if you think a guy wouldn't produce as strong of a season in his BDL context vs NFL context (or vice versa), consider that when voting.

I ultimately decided not to include any of the other suggested categories. I strongly considered best trade and best free agent pickup but decided against them because it would be too difficult to compile a list of trades and signings and I want this to be as easy on people as possible. I didn't really consider any of the "worst x" ideas because I want this to be a positive celebration of the league and our achievements. We all work hard and it's nice to be recognized, not torn down. We do enough of that in the game threads.

I also want to clarify the Comeback Player and Breakout Player awards. Comeback Player is for a player who has been a positive contributor before, had some struggles, and then bounced back. Breakout Player is for a non-rookie who shows out for the first time.

And finally, if I made any mistakes on the draft class list or if I linked the wrong waiver week, let me know soon. Site was wonky this morning so the waiver thing in particular I was struggling with. Thanks again to everyone in advance for participating, I always enjoy doing the awards.
