Poll results time. So with 13/16 league members having responded, here's where we landed.

If we're going by general availability, at least 50% of the league (8/16) are available on the following days:

Thursday (11/16)
Monday (10/16)
Wednesday (10/16)
Sunday Evening (9/16)
Sunday Afternoon (8/16)
Tuesday (8/16)

If we're going by preference of when people prefer the draft to be held:

Sunday Evening: 4 votes
Monday: 3 votes
Tuesday: 3 Votes
Thurs/Fri/Sat: 1 Vote

Taking those results into account, it looks like the top 3 options are Sunday evening, Monday and Tuesday.

Before we narrow in on any one of those 3 windows, is there anyone who absolutely cannot make one of those dates and times?

Just a reminder, we're looking at a window of 7:00 PM ET - 12:00 AM ET for Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. We should expect the auction to take 3-4 hours.

Wait, so what specific dates are we talking about? I have a different Goon draft on Monday, the 22nd.

Ah, ok. Any time during the week is good for me, except I will have family staying with me from the 26th through September 5th and my ability to draft during that time will be basically nil (I know, I'm sorry!).

I could do Wednesday, the 24th. If my hard no on August 26th through September 5th is too hard to work around, I will also bow out.

The maybe a more refined doodle would make sense. Instead of just full days, create a couple of 3 or 4 hour time slots for each day in a range of dates and let people fill out their availability that way. I.e. Monday August 15th from 5-9 and from 8-12 and so on and so forth.

Ugh, I've actually got another draft scheduled for 9pm EST on that night. Was hoping to swing it with minimal overlap if this one started at 7pm EST, but if we move it up much more that's going to be really hard.

Why did you click "available" on the "8-12" time period when you had another draft at 9? There must be something I'm missing here.

Anyway, I don't want you to miss a draft. If it's the only option, I can do 7 EST.

Well, there were doodles going around for the other draft at the same time and it hadn't been finalized yet. I didn't realize that both leagues had decided on the same day and nearly the same time until today. Sorry about that.

I'll recruit my wife to manage the first few rounds of the other draft if need be, but if we can keep this one at 7 without screwing up your situation too much that would be cool.

What do we do about it if he has dipped out? Auto-set his lineup every week? Also does this mean he is going to ditch out on sending a box too?

Also while we're on the subject, how does the beer trade thing go? Is it only the winner and the runner-up who get boxes, or is it all play-off teams get 1 and the super bowl people get more, or what?

So I have a couple of questions:

1. Are playoff teams based on divisional standings, or purely record based? Seems like the site is basing it on records right now, but I wasn't sure if that is intentional or not.
2. How are prize boxes distributed? All to the winner, BIF for playoff teams with more to the winner, or what?
3. Anyone want to trade me a RB in exchange for a WR or two? Whoops, nevermind.

^^^ pretty sure that was year 1, I didn't play in this league last year.

But the fact remains that that year was with 12 teams. Now that we've got 16, do the 1st and 2nd place prizes just get padded, or do those extra boxes go somewhere else?

It's not that I can't physically change it, I'm just trying to fathom how to have it work unless we do a 4 week playoff, since we'd have 5 teams around in Week 15. See what I mean?

Week 14 -8 teams make playoffs
2 teams on bye
3 H2H matchups

Week 15
5 teams (2 with first round byes, 3 H2H winners)


I might be missing something, so let me know if there's another way to handle it. I guess we could go down to just 6 teams for the future, but I'm not sure I love that either.

Yeah, I don't think there's anything that you can do this year. Next year we might want to consider doing a 6 team playoff by breaking out into two conferences of 4 divisions each (4 division champs plus 2 wildcards).

To be fair, this trade occurred right after week 4. At the time Jamaal was in games and trending upwards and the narrative was that Ware would, at best, take on a 50/50 split of backfield duties as Charles resumed RB1 duties. Meanwhile Hopkins had put up decent but not great numbers for 3 out of 4 games, putting up only .9 points in week 4 against Tennessee. Yes, Osweiler looked bad from the start of the season, but at that time I don't think anyone could have really guessed exactly how bad he would be and how much he would destroy Hopkins' value.

So I mean, yeah your logic makes sense in hindsight, but give me a loving break if you want me to believe that you were confidently projecting Charles to IR and that Osweiler would continue to devolve.

Looks good to me. Weather in Colorado is supposed to be pretty nice for the next few weeks, so I may end up being able to get my beer shipped sooner rather than later, but I am thinking about tracking down a brewery release or two for the box, so we shall see.
