CBMFFL 2024: Rule change proposals

[Kevin Flintosh]

Hi all,

We have two rule change proposals for the group to vote on:

1) From Kevin: Adjust starting rosters for everyone to play ONE Flex instead of TWO each week.

2) From Jay: Implement a $10 penalty for the person with the lowest score each week to fund a weekly 12-leg parlay where everyone picks one bet per week and, if we win, the league shares the winnings. He shared this link as an example: https://x.com/ActionNetworkHQ/status/1843698569485885940

For those not familiar with sports gambling, approving #2 would mean everyone makes ONE pick per week and shares them with someone centrally who would place the bet. (I'd nominate Jay.) This could mean a straight bet ("The Chiefs will beat the Patriots by any amount"), a line bet ("The Chiefs will beat the Patriots by 6.5 or more points"), or an over/under bet ("The Chiefs and Patriots will combine to score more than 44.5 points"). Lines and over/unders are set by sportsbooks, not us. Winning would require all 12 of our picks to be correct that week and is the equivalent of winning one bet, applying the winnings to a second bet and winning that, applying the winnings to a third bet and winning that, and so on until we get the benefits of 12 compounded wins.

Please respond to me with your votes no later than next Friday, January 24. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Kevin

We are a week past the voting deadline, and I will say results are deadlocked in a score of 0-0 for both of our proposals. We'll revisit closer to the season and go from there. If anyone does NOT want to play again next year, let me know once you make that call so we can figure out if we backfill the spot or just run with a smaller league. Thanks!

Kevin
