The POY in each category earns 500
thousand Benchwarmer Bucks for his team. 2nd Place earns $250,000
and 3rd earns $100,000. POY Current Standings are determined by the
year-to-date cumulative scores in the Player of the Week standings.
At season's end, this score will count for half of the POY ranking, with
the other half consisting of a ranking of the total statistics for the
entire season. Thus, the Players of the Year will earn their place
through compiling great season stats and for performing consistently
throughout the season.
Note: At the end of the season, the weekly POW scores
were cut down to only the best 22 weeks for each player. So, a
player appearing in all 25 weeks would have his 3 worst weeks cut out of
the score. This helps allow for a bad week or two and also allows
players who visited the DL during the season a better chance to finish
higher in the rankings.
