      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. |  |
