2020 Season Proposal

[Ace]

Schedule: Playing every team in your league each week means matchups are even (would be 54 total) and that you won't have to input any games into fantrax (can be done automatically).

Scoring: Prefer replacing QS with QA.

Extensions: Maybe allow up to August 14th using 2018 and 2019 ranks.

Contracts: For vets maybe give option of 1 extra year at average of extension cost and 2020 salary (decide by August 14th). Also need to make a call on whether 2020 season ranks will count for future extensions.

Payouts: $20 for first round exit means that effectively 4th place is guaranteed $35 whereas 5th only gets $10. I'd shift the first round exit money into reg season payouts for clarity, raise max payouts slightly and also boost the consolation bracket. Wouldn't pay 7th/8th outright as they're getting a 50% credit for 2021 already.

Something like:

1st: $60
2nd: $40
3rd: $30 (so free entry for 2021 guaranteed)
4th: $20
5th: $15
6th: $10

($175 per league, $350 total)

Playoff Champ: $90
RU: $50
3rd/4th: $20

Consolation Champ: $40
RU: $20 
3rd: $10 (higher seeded R2 loser)

($180 playoffs, $70 consolation, $250 total)
