In honor of the upcoming NCAA basketball tournament, Fantasy Ethos will publish 65 posts in the month of March, one for every team in the tournament. This is part of a greater effort to bring you (our beloved reader) much more regular content, because I know you want it. To get to the 65 posts, I will be throwing out a few new features, some interviews, maybe a contest or two, and few more tricks that I have up my sleeve.
This post is officially the first post of the 65. While some may consider this cheating to get, I ask how many of us consider the NCAA tournament to truly consist of 65 teams. Other than the two teams involved, no one cares about the play-in game. Therefore, just as March Madness starts with a teaser of the whole tournament, as will I.
Just in case, I do not want to leave you without something to challenge your mind, so here is a nugget of interest for you–the National Football League is looking at changing its overtime format. The new format would create a higher level of fairness of the current system, and would result in more scoring for overtime games. For fantasy football, this means more points from players in overtime!
What are your thoughts on the proposed format?

I thought going to penalties was bad in soccer (particularly if you support a team that plays against Germany!) but I was still pretty shocked at how the Vikings @ Saints game was settled. A change there is much needed.

It sounds like this change is strictly for playoff games and not for the regular season. So it won’t have any impact to fantasy football other than special playoff contests which only a small percentage people play in from my limited knowledge.

P.S. I love the idea about the March Madness – 65 posts (~ 2 / day). I look forwarding to reading them. You continue to put out some enjoyable content and you’re doing a great job of keeping everyone informed of the latest happenings in the fantasy sports industry.
