It's time. Football is almost upon us... actually its still far away but I wanted to get started on this to make sure we get the league going again this year. This will be the 4th season we've done this, last year was probably the best one we did. We had the buy-in set at $15 with a payout of $100 for first, $35 for second and $15 for third. We can always switch this up or adjust if we raise the buy-in. The draft will either be during the last week of preseason or the week before the first regular season game. The league will be on ESPN also. I think we will cap the league at 10 teams, maybe we can go to 12 if we get tons of interest. Last year we all got on google hangout or tinychat during the draft and had a grand ole time, I say we do that again as well.

I can't remember the specific rules of the league as far as PPR and all that. Who ever has some input on that post it. If you want to make some changes to the rules, suggest them.

How to get into this league you ask? PM Steezy_P, he is the guy who you will send money to. He has collected all 4 years and paid out all for years. He will send you his paypal e-mail and once he gets paid you get an invite to the league with your e-mail.

Also, are we doing half point PPR? With 12 guys I think we should. Makes the waiver wire more useful and can still help people get players who need em after injuries and whatnot.

For payout, how does $250 for winner and $50 for second sound?

I'm game with both. Doesn't look like any of the discussed rule changes are up on the league page yet? Fractional scoring, half ppr, and a third wr spot right?

Personally, I'd prefer full PPR. But I'm okay with half. I like the payouts. Sorry about the Bishop thing, I was just messing around.

I know I've screwed the pooch and taken forever on last years' trophies, but I am working on them today! I bought the stuff for them forever ago and finally have a cloudy day where I have nothing scheduled. Trophies will be completed, sent out, and received by this years' draft...so I want to see them on-cam on google hangouts on draft day!

Chewy--message me your up-to-date address.

all that sounds good to me

i think half is better. full puts too much emphasis on receiving players, half evens it out a little more

Keep flex and add a third wr for one more starting lineup spot. Feel free to add an extra bench spot too or a second flex spot. I'm all for anything that makes the league deeper.

teaser:

Casey is helping me with this.

Funny story: as we were painting a woman pulled up at the neighbors...it is a woman who is setting up for a CABI party....one of those parties that women have where they buy stuff. I was invited about a week ago but declined. Casey goes "suddenly their CABI party doesn't seem so ridiculous...after all, we are out here painting a trophy for an online FF league loser that we don't know in person...if they say anything to us or ask, I'm saying Chewy is our best friend"

This is a great way for us to do defensive scoring:

https://i.imgur.com/GszjJfE.png

You get a base 12.5 from the defense, every point scored subtracts .25; every yard gained subtracts .02.

This creates fractional scoring, overall balance for defenses that give up yards and/or points, and far less silly things about ESPNs system (like the 2 point swing from 399 yards given up to 400 yards given up.

chewy--the original loser trophy was just going to be a shot ski where all of glass shot glasses had been drilled to the ski through the bottom--rendering half of the shot glasses broken shards and the other half (that made it through the drilling) leaking and essentially bottomless.

I don't know why I think that's so funny.
