2006 Red vs. Black Game

Even though the 2005 PIFF season is over, there is no reason to forget about fantasy football during the playoffs.
I present the first ever 'Red vs. Black Game'. I somewhat randomly divided the PIFF teams into two divisions. The Black division is teams that are currently located in the Central Pirate Islands Region (Eastern Kansas), the Red division is the rest of the teams. So division alignments go like this:

Red Division:
Harbor Coast Red Burns
Pirataly Vampirates
Scotslandi Kilters
Svinksland Pillagers
Tsukestan Picklers

Black Division:
Ambersandia &'s
Futontopia Eldars
Kreplachistan Rebels
Snotvia Snotknockers
Tea Republic Steepers

The way the Red vs. Black game will work is as follows:
Each round of the playoffs corresponds to one quarter in the game. For each playoff round the best players from each division during the 2005 season will be the roster for the quarter. Only players that are playing in that round of the playoffs will be fielded for the fantasy game. After each round of playoffs the teams will be changed to keep the best active players playing in the fantasy game. The division with the highest total score after the four quarters is the winner.

Other rules:
It is possible that a division will not be able to field a player for a position, that position will be left empty.
If one division can not field a DEF, then the other division does not need to field one.
The "Coach" spot is just ornamental, and just is a reflection of who has the most players in the game at that time, the Coach does not need change the line-up from week to week, or at all, since the lineup is pre-determined.

So without further delay here are the lineups for the 1st quarter of the Red vs. Black game.

Red Team (1st Qtr.):

Pos   Player       Pts NFL Team
QB    E. Manning    -  NYG Picklers

The First and Second teams are based off the scores of the best player a team has in that position. The Worst team is still the best player a team has in that position, but the worst at it in the league. The Coaches we picked by the number of players they had on the first and second teams, and not on the worst team (with some weighting added in).
