I apologize ahead of time if this topic has been covered ad nauseum, but I haven't found it in a search.  My league's leader board seems to be based upon "points" rather than actual wins.  This is my first year on OPS.com, and I do not know how points are assigned.  Am I able to make an easy switch to have the leader board based upon actual wins rather than points?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Wins are worth 1 point, ties .5 points. Also, many leagues configure 'key games' which allows extra points when players assign key games during their picks and win the pick. The 'legend' link on the standings also mentions this.

You should be fine with your league configuration, as wins and points will be the same thing. Just note that if a game ends in a tie there will be a half point assigned.

I'll look to add a '?' next to points as a future aid.

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,  Thanks very much.  I may have figured it out.  I think the leader board is configured to subtract the worst week for each player, as I have it set up for one "bye week."  I think that's why point totals don't equal win totals in my league.
