12 team league, $75 buy in. Payouts are:
1st - 300

3rd - 150

Does that seem weird to anyone else?

Well for starters, your prize pool is missing $150, so I assume you play on CBS? If not, that's definitely weird.

Other than that, seems fine if not a little too evenly distributed. As a rule of thumb I like first place to be at least double second place, but that's just personal opinion. If that were my league it's be more like:

1st - 400
2nd - 175
3rd - 100
4th - 75

The "I Paid What for Who?" dynasty league here has $25 buy ins for 12 teams and pays all of that money out as:
1st: $160
2nd: $80
3rd: $40

Consolation bracket winner: $20

We charge a surcharge on the $25 dues to exactly cover hosting fees for MFL, whatever that number turns out to be.

We had one butthole not pay and then had dues on CBS. I want to switch to Yahoo so we don't have to pay and have more prize money

Honestly I dont see the point of paying out 4th. 3rd is iffy for me too. I'd rather do an end of regular season best record bonus or most points bonus rather than pay out 3rd. I mean, isn't that what everybody laughed at the Colts for? AFC Finalist 2014 banner?

A little but not in a major way. Personally I'd rather see a bigger differential between 1st and 2nd, and I also don't particularly care for paying out someone that lost two playoff games (fourth place). I'd rather see the 4th place money go to 1st, or do something with it that's kinda random and can payout anyone (highest PA regular season or something).

You see a lot of really bizarre poo poo with regard to payouts though. On one end of the spectrum you've got winner take all and on the other end you've got 1st place only paying you back your buy in, and if you want to cash in big you've got to dominate weekly PF or other weekly contest poo poo.

Yeah if you take that 4th place money and half the third place money and give it to first that would be a more standard payout structure. In my home league third just gets their buyin back.

In Apex leagues it's just first and second IIRC (out of 12). Very steep payouts to first, because when they're having trouble getting to 12 they sweeten the pot by adding more prize money that just goes to first. I played in two Apex leagues this year (highly recommended, I'll post again about it at draft season)... and came in second in both. So, a profitable season, but I missed out on those sweet QUADRUPLE ENHANCED payouts.

10 team keeper league.

$100 buy in.

First place- $800
Second place - $200
Third place - $100 (We have the team with the worst record pay an extra $100 to third place - this discourages/penalizes teams from trading away all their players for draft picks)

There are some changes I want to propose and that seems really logical. I also want to go to decimal scoring and see if there is a way to prevent a week 17 championship game.

I didn't personally get banned or hosed with, I just said to hell with it and left.

Anybody been in a playoff league? The only way I've ever done it.. 6 people, snake draft, draft everybody.. 2 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 TE, 2 K, 2 D. Winner takes all.

I guess the two top bosses, Dodds in particular, are a little touchy about their new hero


If we can get 6, a few more, I'll start a draft thread in the morning.. of course we'll need to be done by COB Friday so please don't sign up if you don't have time

Standard scoring.. 6 pt all TDs, PPR OK?

As far as I can tell.. MFL still hosts these kinds of leagues for free so we should be covered there. I haven't done this in years.. and never run one, how hard can it be


As for money, or no money, whatever you all want to do, I'm new here.. we would generally just have the 5 losers send the winner 20- each at the end

Our league this year was 12 x $50 for a $600 pot

450 to the winner
150 to 2nd
50 to best regular season record

I got $200. I would've liked to have it been 400/200 but its whatever, first place deserves the lions share.

Missed out on 500 because of Staffords week 16 fumble.

OK we only need 6 for a league so the first to get in are: Me, Sataere, Spoeank, Ninja Bob, Ben Nevis, 89 - please PM me your email for the league at MFL, and I'll send back my email and link for the dice rolls. As soon as everything's sorted we'll start the draft, and see how it goes

Alternates: coronaball, BonoMan, SaltheBard
(get three more and do another?)

I'll explain the rules a little better in the draft thread, but it's pretty cut and dry.. 13 round draft, start all your players and walk away - they accumulate stats as long as they're in, most points wins it

So you pretty much have to pick players who are in the wildcards or else they'll be on bye for the first week? And then most likely see those guys eliminated in the division title matches...

If I have 8 people in mine, how many roster spots should there be? QB/2RB/2WR/TE/Flex/K/Def = 9 spots? Should it have a bench at all? Maybe a 2 or 3 man bench so if you have bad luck on wild card weekend you're not completely drawing dead?

Usually playoff pools are like slow drafts. You draft and let them sit. The team with the most points after the Super Bowl wins.

I've never done it any other way than what we're doing here, 6 seems ideal, but get creative

I start everybody. Everybody's going to draw dead on some players, every week.. like Sataere said it's very simple, a big draft and see who has the most points at the end
