Robbing Peter to pay Paul and other IFL Notes

Due to the underestimation of the cost required to upkeep the IFL trophy and update it with the champion's trimmings, there is a change in the playoff payouts. The Championship Game loser will now get $100 instead of $140. This will help offset the cost of the trophy (part of the total league fees - $30 - have already been deducted for this purpose), and besides, essentially making the Championship Game loser partially pay for the winner's trophy adds a nice touch. The champion's winnings are unchanged - they will get $400 for a total Championship prize pool of $500. The other playoff prizes will also stay the same.


IFL NEWS AND NOTES

• 5 of the 6 playoff teams have never won the Plaque/Trophy. Chances are good for a first-time winner, eh? Think again...the only former champ still alive is #1 seed, 12-1 Hit Squad, who won his only title exactly 10 years ago with one of the great teams of all time.

• Don't forget - when all hope is lost, in Week 16, all non-championship participants will be involved in a Battle Royale where the highest scoring team wins yet another shitstained $20 from Ballbusting Robert. This is in addition to the crusty $20 for the IFL-BCS Champion, of course (IFL-BCS Championship participants are also eligible for the $20 prize for high score).
