When are you going to fix the confidence points? During bye weeks the confidence points should not start at 1.
During BYE weeks the confidence points should not start at 1. The lower numbers should be dropped instead of the higher numbers so all the weeks have more even scores. People have been asking for this for a decade, why is it such a problem.

Truncate the lower values and keep all the 16, 15, 14, and 13 point plays during the bye weeks.
The current scoring system has too high of a discrepancy of total points from week to week during the bye weeks. All the weeks where there are 16 games the current point system works since there a total of 136 points for each of these weeks. However, as soon as there is one bye, the point total goes down to 120. With two byes in one week the point total goes down to 105. With 3 byes during one week the point total dwindles to a mere 91. It makes these bye weeks way less valuable than the regular weeks.…

Penalty for missing a game
I think there should be more of a penalty when someone misses picking a game. As of the now the penalty is not being able to assign point 1. I believe the penalty should be they lose the ability to assign the top point for that week. As it is now if someone misses a Thursday game it there is a large upset they will actually benefit from not picking because all they lose is the 1 point

Show how the tie-breakers are determined
We can see the final results in the standings however, none of us are sure how the tie-breakers are scored out at the end of the week. Makes it confusing.

Remove 16 confidence points option if you miss games
When a team forgets to submit pick before game starts that game should automatically remove the highest confidence point value. No pick by fist game 16 confidence points is no longer available and 15 becomes your highest value to select and so on. That way team that misses a game can't score 16 on a game when those that did select may lose that 16 confidence points. Someone who submits all picks on time can earn 136 points yet someone who forgot to do the 1st game can still get 135 points. The penalty for not submitting pick on time…

Bye week points
In my old league, when there were less games because teams went on bye, we removed the "16, 15, 14, 13, etc." point choices instead of "1,2,3,4, etc.". When you remove the higher points, it makes it hard to catch up to the folks who jumped out ahead in the beginning of the season. It would be great if that was an option

Faster total points updates
The site takes way too long to update the points in the weekly performance for the group. After Monday Night Football, it’s quite a while before the numbers change and it finally shows how the week went and who won the week. Why is there such a lag?

Showing the Weekly Winner in Green (ALWAYS)
It would be great if the Weekly winners ALWAYS show in Green (even if you line through it). For example, in Week 5 of my league (Group# 8273), that week was one of everybody's lowest 3 weekly scores. So, all scores show up in Red with a line through them. Even the weekly winner does not show up in Green. I discovered that you can sort the weekly scores from top to bottom. When doing that, I see that Drake Maye appears to have won Week 5. And in Week 8, it appears that Cheesehead won. For this example, I…

Missed pick em' deadline on Thursday should result in loss top confidence point value
I suggest that the penalty for not selecting in the pick em' on the Thursday night game should result in losing the most confidence point value selection (16, 15, 14, 13....). As it is, the individual just doesn't use their 1 confindence point, so really no penalty.

would it be possible to have an option as a tiebreaker to guess the total combined score rather than guess what the score will be per team.

Fix the confidence points on bye weeks so they start at 16 and throw out the lower scores.
What is the point of having the confidence points on bye weeks start at 1 and go to the number of games. They should start at 16 like regular weeks and throw out the lower points. ESPECIALLY FOR LEAGUES LIKE OUR THAT THROW OUT YOUR WORST TWO WEEKS. Two byes this week and might as well just not play as this score will most likely be thrown out, even if you do well. Seems like pretty simple programming. Get your elementary school programmers on this.

Tie Breaker Explaination
Why dont you tell us and show us how the tie was broken when two or more teams have the same total points? I'm not saying post it all of the time, but when a tie happens (especially for the weekly winner) both teams have a right to know how the winner was determined. There are two variables within each tiebreaker category. how does that playout? no where do you explain the process.
