I came across this beauty of a rule and I have to say I love it. What do u guys think. Even if we added an extra $2 per year due each one of us who knows what it would be at when/IF it was to pay out.
The goal of every fantasy player that takes over a dynasty team is (or at least should be) one thing and one thing only – building a dynasty! So shouldn’t leagues incorporate a rule that awards owners who construct a fantasy empire and reign over the competition year after year? My absolute favorite rule to incorporate into dynasty leagues does exactly that. I call it the “Back-To-Back Fund” in my league.The “Back-To-Back Fund” does exactly what the name suggests. It pays a rather large sum of money to any owner who wins back-to-back league championships.To build the fund, just take a certain percentage (i.e. 5% – 10%) of every owner’s league dues and put it aside every year. The fund grows every season until an owner earns the entire prize for winning his or her second consecutive title.It’s crazy to see what teams will do to try to cash in that lottery ticket after winning their first championship. On the flip side, it’s even more fun to watch other teams do everything they can to stop the previous season’s champ. The “Back-To-Back Fund” truly puts a bullseye on the back of the owner in defense of their title.After implementing this rule into a league, it only takes a few seasons for the “Back-To-Back Fund” to outweigh the payout for winning your league’s championship game. Some leagues choose to make it a “Three-Peat Fund” after the back-to-back has been accomplished. I imagine you could start off with the stipulation of needing the trifecta to earn the loot, but I’ll leave the details up to you and your league mates. In any sense, this rule will absolutely increase the amount of fun you and your comrades will have once you put it into effect, especially if you’re the first one to win it.
