I'd hate to see another league veteran go, but no, it's not too late. We can probably recruit a goon. Is everyone waiting on me to do something to the rules? We were talking about voting on some of this stuff: Spermy Smurf posted:I have gone 11 pages deep and all i can find is:

Alright. VOTE 1. Should we switch to a hard salary cap? This would mean you cannot do a trade or waiver wire pickup that would bust your cap, even temporarily. A player that wouldn't bust your cap once they're on your taxi or IR, still couldn't be picked up until you made room for them on your main roster. 2. For the purposes of determining draft order only, should we count each player started that season on BYE, IR, or Out as having earned 10 points for that team in total Points For? This would have no effect on matches or standings, it'd purely be to safeguard against the available tactic of intentionally starting 0-point players to try and get a better draft slot. Note that intentionally tanking by starting players who suck would still be available. 3. Should we attempt to add an EDGE position? We would have to manually identify players who qualify for the position, and decide how many should be started by each team (I presume 1, but are there enough to go around) and any scoring differences. 4. Should we permit players to be on a TAXI squad in their third+ year, under certain special conditions? For example, if a player missed their entire rookie or sophomore season due to injury, COVID opt-out, or suspension? If you vote YES to this question, please state what qualifications you think should count. 5. Should we change the prize for winning the consolation bracket? Currently the winner tends to be among the stronger teams. The intention of a good consolation prize is to keep owners engaged through the end of the season and post-season, but maybe this prize is too good? If you vote YEST to this question, please list different prizes you'd prefer.

We used to have a $20 prize for consolation, right? I think we switched to 1.13 two years ago. I don't think most of us really give a gently caress about the twenty bucks.

Yeah, I dont even know if we bother with a prize for coming in uhhh 5th? A new league trophy with custom totally awesome (crappy) art designed by me could be done instead. It's just nice having people continue to set lineups to give some fun later in the year.

It's more than "nice," it's necessary. If you put up a fight earlier in the season, teams that face you late in the season need to also be challenged, or you're giving them free wins which may propel those teams to the playoffs. Nobody should get "free wins" because an owner has checked out after being eliminated from playoff contention. Some of us delight in playing spoiler anyway, but not everyone does. An incentive to keep trying to win till the bitter end seems essential to me. If 1.13 is too much, fair enough; I think $20 might be too little. An actual physical prize sounds cool as hell. We could dial things back though: what about a free 2nd round pick instead of 1st round pick? Would that be still valuable, but less unbalancing?

The consolation prize is essentially a made up 5th place right? They beat everyone who didn't make playoffs, that's sort of 5th place? Maybe 6th? This is strictly the two-week "anyone already eliminated from playoffs" period I'm talking about. That's what the consolation prize is, it's not the 5th place winner or 6th place person, but it's effectively 5th or 6th because it's "best of the rest" if that makes sense. No need for much of a real prize there I don't think.

Right. We used to actually rank them as fifth place (for picks) and stopped that a while back too. Now, they get ranked by their regular season finish as normal, but get a 1.13 pick. The proposal I guess is 1.13 is too valuable and is tending to go to a team that is actually fifth-ish place, whereas we'd like this prize to either not be so valuable, or be more easily claimed by a lower-ranking team.

Yeah so $20 or just some trophy in the league trophy case probably better. A $10 picture by their name on the forums? Avatar I think? I turned off those images so I don't see them but it's an option. Probably rather have the $10 honestly.

If there’s still the open spot I’d be interested in joining! I’ve been in a super competitive redraft league since 2015 and a couple IDP leagues I’ve never played dynasty so I have a lot to learn. Does it work like a redraft league in terms of setting a weekly lineup? Are trades and transactions in-season only or year-round? Is the draft pool simply rookies and free agents? What are the dues and how do you pay them? Obviously it’s a much bigger commitment than a redraft league so just want to reduce the number and severity of rookie screwups on my way to running the team into the ground

We have two drafts each year, one for rookies, and a separate auction one for free agents.

We have a league rules document - apologies in advance, it's long - and managing a team on MFL has a certain degree of complexity too. IMO it's well worth it for the multi-year experience of managing a fantasy team, though!

Taxi squads are good for keeping guys for 2 years at $0 salary cap too. Oh. Did we tell you it's a salary cap league? Oopsie. IR is only half the cap hit too. But it's limited to 3 people now. Only real advice would be that it's dynasty with deepish benches so be careful dropping guys since (for the most part) the waiver wire is a barren wasteland. We will be opening the league up in a few weeks for trades and whatnot. Rosters need to be cut down 24 or 48hrs before we kick off the slow rookie email draft. The Veteran auction is a live auction held very close to week 1 kickoff, maybe close to 48hrs before if thats the only time that works for everyone. Manage your cap, its your job. It's currently a soft cap so you can bust it moving guys from taxi to IR and stuff, but it needs to be complaint before waivers run. Bust the cap for 90 seconds, we all do, but you can't bust cap during waivers or a game day or anything like that. Edit: The veteran auction takes your auction balance for the entire year so don't bid $90 on anyone because you will only have 10 bucks left for the entire of the year. Join the slack. It's somewhere on the last page from Leperfish. Spermy Smurf fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jul 10, 2021 |

I don't feel good about making any changes based on four responses, including one commish (and I didn't vote, I wanted to see what others thought first). I guess the only real ones we'd consider are the taxi change and the consolation prize. I'm open to either of those really, don't feel that strongly about it.

1. Should we switch to a hard salary cap? This would mean you cannot do a trade or waiver wire pickup that would bust your cap, even temporarily. A player that wouldn't bust your cap once they're on your taxi or IR, still couldn't be picked up until you made room for them on your main roster. NO 2. For the purposes of determining draft order only, should we count each player started that season on BYE, IR, or Out as having earned 10 points for that team in total Points For? This would have no effect on matches or standings, it'd purely be to safeguard against the available tactic of intentionally starting 0-point players to try and get a better draft slot. Note that intentionally tanking by starting players who suck would still be available. NO 3. Should we attempt to add an EDGE position? We would have to manually identify players who qualify for the position, and decide how many should be started by each team (I presume 1, but are there enough to go around) and any scoring differences. NO if MFL can’t manage it itself 4. Should we permit players to be on a TAXI squad in their third+ year, under certain special conditions? For example, if a player missed their entire rookie or sophomore season due to injury, COVID opt-out, or suspension? If you vote YES to this question, please state what qualifications you think should count. NO Sounds like too much work for commish keeping up manually. 5. Should we change the prize for winning the consolation bracket? Currently the winner tends to be among the stronger teams. The intention of a good consolation prize is to keep owners engaged through the end of the season and post-season, but maybe this prize is too good? If you vote YEST to this question, please list different prizes you'd prefer. NO

We have a shitton of rules. I think above on this page Leper and I posted a quick rundown. Salary cap with fake money waivers. It's pretty simple, and we all help each other out with reminders of cap space and stuff. It sounds far more complicated than it is.
