For those of you in the playoffs:
The complexity of the tiebreakers, in addition to the flexibility required for you, means that the tiebreakers will not be done in the system this year.
You are required to submit three tiebreakers. It is in your best interest to submit four to maintain maximum flexibility with your swing, 1 RB, 1 TE, and 2 WR.
Why submit four? Let's look at the possible tiebreaker combinations:
If you start 2 RB, 1 TE, and 2 WR, your tiebreakers can be either 1 TE and 1 WR or 2 WR, in any order
If you start 1 RB, 1 TE, and 3 WR, your tiebreaker can be 1 RB and either 1 TE or 1 WR, but the first tiebreaker must be the RB or a TE.
If you start 1 RB, 2 TE, and 2 WR, your tiebreaker must be 1 RB and 1 WR, in either order.
Thus, it is in your best interest to submit 4... 1 RB, 1 TE, and 2 WR, though you can get away with either 1 TE and 1 WR or just 2 WR. Again, maximum flexibility.
When submitting the tiebreakers, the other thing to keep in mind is that, if you are not sure who you will actually start in later games, that you say what the "pecking order" is. For example: If I were in the playoffs, I would say something like "I'm not sure whether I will start Lance Moore or Mario Manningham, but the other one will be my highest possible tiebreaker."
Finally, after they play, you can't change where they rank. So if you say "Willis McGahee is my RB Tiebreaker and he is my second ranked tiebreaker" then you are saying that he will be TB2 unless he has to be TB1 because of your starters.
