The idea behind the H2H Victory Point Leagues is simple :

• Total Point Leagues are not fun. After about half the season, most teams don't have a chance and are no longer interested.

• Head-to-Head matchups are exciting, but sometimes are unfair. Each year, I see several leagues where a team with very high total points is struggling to make the playoffs. You would think that a team with high total points should be a lock for the playoffs, but it's not always true. Looking at the Head-to-Head matchups, for teams like this, you can see the problem. The high scoring team lost 2 (or more) games during the regular season when they scored the second highest points. That's the "luck" factor I'm trying to reduce with my new league style.

Here's how I have fixed these problems :

• The League standings are kept with league points instead of wins and losses.

• Each week you play head-to-head like normal leagues. A win awards your team with 2 League Points, A Tie 1 point, and a loss no points. Very similar to how Hockey does it's season standing.

• Each week, the teams are ordered by total fantasy points scored during that week. League points are also awarded for having high scores.

10-team league Victory Point assignment :

 High Score - 2 League Points
    2nd     - 2 League Points
    3rd     - 2 League Points
    4th     - 1 League Point
    5th     - 1 League Point
    6th     - 1 League Point
    7th     - 1 League Point
    8th     - 0 League Points
    9th     - 0 League Points
   10th     - 0 League Points

12-team league Victory Point assignment :

 High Score - 2 League Points
    2nd     - 2 League Points
    3rd     - 2 League Points
    4th     - 2 League Points
    5th     - 1 League Point
    6th     - 1 League Point
    7th     - 1 League Point
    8th     - 1 League Point
    9th     - 0 League Points
   10th     - 0 League Points
   11th     - 0 League Points
   12th     - 0 League Points

If you get the second highest score and lose, you still get 2 league points.

Now, you can still trash talk and take on your archrival in Head-to-Head play. If you win, great. If you lose and scored high, you still get points. That nice high score is no longer wasted. It counts!

I believe that this Head-to-Head Victory Point League combined with AntSports scoring system provides the most balanced, competitive, and FAIR leagues available anywhere on the Internet.

Don't believe me? Listen to what The Fighting Pigs had to say:

Boy this is what fantasy football is all about! I have the highest total points by 100 and the most points scored against. Out of my 6 losses, 4 are to the team with the high score of the week. You're right my high scores don't get wasted. It doesn't get any better than this. This is the best scoring system (including the victory points). This is a well laid out program and AntSports does a fantastic job running it. Win or lose I hope you will have me back next year for another run.
