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.

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).

PIFF Playoffs

It's playoff time in the land of the Pirate Islands. The Championship bracket looks like a tough one:



The defending champions Rebels come in with the #1 seed and they are matched up against the late surging Steepers. The ever-strong &'s are matched up against the once powerhouse Vampirates, but due to injuries, have been slipping in the standings.

The Consolation bracket pits the Pillagers, who just missed the Championship playoffs against the Kilters, who barley eked their way into the Consolation playoffs. The dominating Picklers are matched up against the losers of 6 straight, Snotknockers.



The Red Burns and Eldars packed up their equipment for the year and are enjoying the holidays.

Maties move to Pirataly

The SparrowIsland Maties have formally packed up their operations and moved to Pirataly. This after the team was left homeless after a recent move of venue left the team without support.

Days before the 3rd PIFF season started an owner from Pirataly stepped up and took over the team's day-to-day operations. Their first game was played under the former team name of SparrowIsland Maties, but after the game the team packed up and headed off to their new home in the capital of Pirataly, and renamed the Vampirates.

SparrowIsland has been grated an expansion team for next season as long as the planed expansion goes through, and the team can raise enough funds to cover the teams operations.

The Pirate Islands Fantasy Football league would like to welcome the Pirataly Vampirates to the league. May all your points be positive.

*A player must be played to be an All-Star.
(Brady is not an All-Star, even though he scored more points than Manning.) Ties are broke by determining which player contributed the most to his team percent wise.
The Coach was decided by seeing which team played most of the points possible, so Newgen got 72% of the points possible for his team last week (actual/optimal=percent possible)
