Christ, and I thought I was scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of drafting 2nd and 3rd string RB's last season. 16 teams?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:WELCOME TO CHARITY THUNDERDOME. Hot drat! I'm going to play for Give Directly. Give Directly - https://www.givedirectly.org) - They give money directly to the extreme poor in Kenya and Uganda with 91% of the money donated actually going to beneficiaries. From their website: Traditional ways of giving internationally are complex. Donors typically give to international NGOs that manage money, fundraise, and implement programs through partner organizations abroad which have their own (usually hidden) cost structures. Overall it is hard for donors to tell how their money will be used, what this will cost, and whether there is any evidence that it works. At GiveDirectly we've created a simpler way: we take money from donors and give it to the poor. We can do this because modern payments technology has drastically cut the costs of sending money directly to the extreme poor, at the same time as new research has shown the powerful effects this has on their lives. At GiveDirectly we see these trends converging to make direct giving the benchmark against which the old, top-down models are evaluated.

Here's what I'm thinking for scoring and rosters: Offense: 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/1FLX/1PK Passing: 0.04 per yard, 4 per TD, -2 per Int, 2 per 2PC Rushing: 0.1 per yard, 6 per TD, 2 per 2PC Receiving: 0.5 PPR, 0.1 per yard, 6 per TD, 2 per 2PC Defense: 2 DB, 2 LB, 2 D FLX Fumble Recoveries: 2 Forced Fumble: 4 Interception Caught: 6 Pass Defensed: 2 Block Field Goal/Punt/Extra Point: 6 Tackle: 1.5 Tackle Assist: 1 Sacked QB: 4 Stuff: 2 Safety: 10 Int/Fumble Recovered TD: 6 Blocked Field Goal / Punt TD: 6 (From here.) Miscellaneous Fumble: -2 Kicking PAT: 1 PAT Missed: -1 0-39 Yard FG: 3 40-49 Yard FG: 4 50+ Yard FG: 5 0-39 Yard FG Missed: -1 Bench: 8 Cheating Open bids to determine draft order. Top bidding player gets first choice, second bidder gets second, etc. Every dollar donated gives $10 FAAB. Minimum $25 buy-in means everyone starts at $250 FAAB. Before the start of each Thursday night game, players may bid up to $100 from the FAAB to get a 10 point bonus for that week at a cost of $1 per tenth of a point. After the games are over players may spend funds from their FAAB to swap out starters with high performing players from their bench. The cost of swapping a player out is the difference in points, with every tenth of a point costing $1. These changes must be declared before kickoff of the first game on Thursday. No, you cannot swap a low performing bench player for a high performing starter to add money to your FAAB. You can, however, swap players from your starting lineup to your bench multiple times in order to rearrange the players to maximize your score. In this case you would pay every time the starter was replaced by a bench player who scored more points. Because I can't edit rosters after each week the weekly score will instead be modified by the number of dollars spent. Thoughts?

Non IDP thoughts - looks good IDP thoughts: Do you have any reason for no DL slots? We'll pick up a few in DFlex, but those will be almost universally LB slots. I assume you don't want to have too many additional players to manage so keeping it at 6 additional starters changed LB/DB/DL/DFlex from 2/2/0/2 to either 2/1/1/2 or 1/1/1/3 will add some additional focus back into the DL spot while keeping in line with 6 players and some flex spots. I will say that DL has the highest points discrepancy from top players to bench and making it a DFlex eliminates a lot of that from IDP, but hey, that's what makes fantasy interesting. Stuff (TFL) and Sack should be 3 each to match the goal of what you linked. The setting they recommend of varying TFL based on if it's a Sack or not is not really supported anywhere. A Sack is almost universally a TFL so we'll be closer to matching that recommendation by making both of them 3. While I like the idea behind big points for a block or for a safety - those events are so rare they will in no way affect draft order, but could easily make or break a game on a weekly basis. Then again they're going to be great to generate more cheating revenue! Aredna fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Aug 12, 2015 |

I think at least one DL should be a mandatory spot. Also holy gently caress, 16 teams? Do you guys remember how difficult this draft was after the 10th round last year with loving 12 teams!

Sataere posted:I think at least one DL should be a mandatory spot. This is going to be amazing - especially with the addition of IDP. It will probably actually be a bit easier this time around because people are going to treat the IDP slots differently we'll have more "mistakes" depending on how you look at things. It's going to be a REALLY long time between picks though - even in the middle of a round you've got 16 picks in between if a run starts on something.

Aredna posted:Non IDP thoughts - looks good 2DL/2LB/2FLX was what was suggested earlier in the thread. I'm very flexible on this. If we're worried about going too crazy we can reduce the number of slots, or do whatever you guys want. The site recommended 4/2 based on a sack being a TFL. Where are you getting 3/3? Wouldn't that make LBs even more important? How many IDP slots should we have? Beer4TheBeerGod fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Aug 12, 2015 |

I'm cool with whatever on time. I'll make myself available. I think the scoring you provided will work best. I do think 1 DL slot should be mandatory, if only because it makes it more challenging, but as always, I will adhere to the majority.

If we're worried about going too crazy we can reduce the number of slots, or do whatever you guys want. 6 is fine for his year, but I would say make it 1LB/1DB/1DL/3flex to make it most interesting and maximize cheating opportunities. If people are worried that 6 is too many (or too few) let me know how any people want (4min with no DST) and I can do the math on what makes it most interesting from a spreadsheet I have setup currently. Re: schedule I think I have another draft at time 4 right now, but I'll check and update soon Main requirement for me is evenings other than tues evening due to living in Tokyo (UTC+9) currently. Sat or Sun mornings in the U.S. Van work fore top, but rarely for those there. As long as the local start time for me is after 7am and before 11pm on weeknights and before 1am on weekend nights I can make it work. Except whatever day I have the other draft already that I'll update asap. E: ok, 4312 for me, I cannot make 2 at all because I'll be on a plane over the pacific with no wifi. 4 and 3 are tied for me.

With 6/16 of the league responding the top choice seems to be MONDAY, AUGUST 31, AFTER 8PM EASTERN TIME. Keep on voting. Here is the next iteration. I'm taking Aredna's 3FLX suggestion since it also incorporates the 1 mandatory DL that Sataere is advocating for. Dare we go 3WR with this setup? I've had some good results with 3WR in my other leagues, especially with half PPR. With the bench that's a roster of 24 players. Is that too many for a league a 16? quote:Offense: 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX/1PK Beer4TheBeerGod fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Aug 12, 2015 |

3 1 4 I really have no preference and you can even count all of the picks as first choice for me. I'm extremely flexible and can just phone draft if need be. The only reason I placed 3 as my first pick is RisqueBarber will draft drunk and Smarms can ignore his family.

It seems like our options are either 4 or 1. The majority of people prefer Monday, August 31, after 8PM EST so I'm going to say we shall go for that. Based on feedback we'll go with 2 WRs. I also brought the bench down to 8 players because a roster size of 23 is weird and 10 deep benches seems too much. If you have a problem with the setup below please let me know, otherwise this is what we're going with. quote:Draft: Monday, August 31, 8PM EST Beer4TheBeerGod fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Aug 13, 2015 |
