Note: This is a copy of a report received this morning from Bone Crackers, Inc. regarding some questions that Kevin and I had about the SFL. September 30, 2014 Commissioners Sanderson: As per your request, the research division of Bone Crackers, Inc. has reviewed the performance of your teams, both SFL1 and SFL this past week at the beginning of bye weeks. Rocco C. Magnon has been the chief researcher for this project. Your areas of concern were: Question 1: Is there a concern about having a large numbers player points left on the bench? Answer: This can occur often because of the structure of your league and can be considered a good problem. This is impart, caused by the large number of quality bench players vs. playing players - 6 bench vs. 8 assigned players. In limiting your leagues to only eight teams and keeping the number of playing positions to a minimum and having six bench players, you have increased the talent level of your bench players markedly. Thus, youll often see your good quality bench players going off and scoring as well or better than the players that are assigned to play by the coaches. This is particularly the case at the QB position. Normally, this should not be a problem since it is self correcting as the coaches learn the ability of their players and watch the match-ups. Remember: This is a good problem to have! Question 2: What is the impact of having a large number of players having the same bye week? Answer: This is an often debated issue that does not have a simple answer. Certainly, if a team has a lot of players off the same week, it can be a problem. However, there are a lot of moving parts to consider in answering this question. The most import variables are: a) the number of starters out for a given week and b) the difficulty of the match ups for the players remaining. The only time this is a major debilitating factor is when a coach has several key starters on a bye week and the match-ups of the remaining players are extremely difficult. In this type of perfect storm, coaches may find themselves with insufficient resources to cope with the problems they face. Fortunately, this does not occur as often as one would expect. The attached table contains the data collected in Week 4. As you will note the information is interesting to review. But, there are no apparent patterns that suggest trends that need to corrected at this time. So, from beautiful downtown Bone, ID, Rocco and I wish you (Kevin and Devon) the very best. Sincerely, Nellie Neanderthal Research Director Bone Crackers, Inc.
