Weekly Top Dog Prize — Independent of Playoffs
Winning Top Dog of the Week is completely independent of playoff standing. A player can be eliminated from playoff contention and still win weekly prizes. Every week is a fresh competition. Weekly prizes are paid out every week regardless of playoff status.
Example figures based on 20 players at $100/season. Exact weekly prize amount and playoff pool confirmed before Week 1 based on final player count.
