@Will totally agree, I just think it's a nice option. My favorite league is a head-to-head keeper league, and I personally head-to-head is the only way to play in keeper leagues!
There is a complete "fairness" aspect to all-play that other league types don't have. For instance, the 59-29 person is actually 3-5 in our league right now, sitting in 9th place. They are 1st in all-play, and 9th in head-to-head. Normally this person would be complaining about how much harder their schedule is (rightfully so). But, this year there are no complaints from anyone, it's nice!

Well, as promised I'm posting my current league standings with this format.
1. 59-29-0, Total Points: 913.3
2. 52-36-0, Total Points: 873.78
3. 51-37-0, Total Points: 934.68
4. 50-38-0, Total Points: 947.58
5. 48-40-0, Total Points: 886.72
6. 48-40-0, Total Points: 871.88
7. 45-43-0, Total Points: 887.42
8. 44-44-0, Total Points: 891.08
9. 40-48-0, Total Points: 818.72
10. 34-54-0, Total Points: 774.28
11. 33-55-0, Total Points: 771.96
12. 24-64-0, Total Points: 712.82Similar as before. The overall top scorer is no longer #1, they are 4th overall. The person in 8th points wise is only 25 pts behind #1, record wise, they're 8th! On a side note, I'm 9th, and I'm tired of Calvin Johnson being hurt!

I'm keeping track of this format in our commish notes this year (it's what were using to determine the overall winner, including playoffs). I thought it'd be fun to post records vs. total points every few weeks or so. That way people could see the difference.
After week 4:
1. 36-8-0, Total Points: 488.22
2. 31-13-0, Total Points: 459.62
3. 27-17-0, Total Points: 462.14
4. 27-17-0, Total Points: 412.84
5. 25-19-0, Total Points: 439.48
6. 21-23-0, Total Points: 425.56
7. 19-25-0, Total Points: 401.58
8. 18-26-0, Total Points: 396.72
9. 17-27-0, Total Points: 424.96
10. 16-28-0, Total Points: 393.92
11. 15-29-0, Total Points: 392.48
12. 12-32-0, Total Points: 354.16A couple things to note. Team in ninth place has been boom or bust. They've boomed big a couple weeks, and then scored moderate the other two. Total points is decent, but record is not so great.Team in 4th has just been consistent the first 4 weeks, total points isn't huge, but record is good! This shows how it is scored differently then total points. I'll post an update week after week 8.

This has to be added during next off-season. It's becoming more and more popular, and the more people learn about it's existence, the more people are going to switch away from Yahoo because it isn't offered!

@Will, Some people say that, they are wrong, and have not played All-Play. After you play it a full season and keep track of it, you will see that the leader in total points is not usually the leader in All-Play... For instance:
If your team goes off for 200 points, and the rest of the league is around 100. You just get the max victories that week.
The next week, you scored the lowest at 90 points, the highest score was at 110 (this happens). The 110 score gets as many victories as you did the previous week with 200. If this keeps going on, the team who scores the most consistent, and beats the most teams week in and week out will make it to the playoffs! You can't be a boom or bust team, which is usually rewarded in Total Points leagues (which is why I dislike total points)...
Not to mention, it still has a similar feel as head to head each week. The entire season doesn't feel like a total points league. It's also easier to setup a playoff format as I mentioned above. Right now you don't even have the option to do playoffs in total points (that's because it should be determined on total points throughout the entire season).

This is a great idea. Would most certainly use it!
@Will The comparison doesn't quite transfer to the fantasy world. In a real football game your players are matched up physically against other football players. You couldn't actually say, "we would have beat 23 other teams this week but we still got a loss." Because you can't guarantee that you would score the same amount of points against their physical defenses.
You can say that in the fantasy world because it's all statistics based on what happens in the real world (your team would have scored the same amount of points no matter who you played head-to-head). We have control over how we can keep score, and how we can make it more fair. I'd really like the option to do so! :)
