I am thrilled at the level of interest. Those who were around last year know the trouble we had. We ended up going with an 8 man league with something like 8 or 9 starting RB/WRs.

There's too much variance, with one team you can get screwed if your top pick or 2 eats it. 5436 still needs to pay and we still need 1 more.

No. Waivers currently clear Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 12 PM. You have a budget of $100. Speaking just as another participant: You could stream 17 defenses and still have $83. I don't know how many free agency transactions the average person does but you could still do 20-40 transactions at $1 and still be active in free agency for big players. I like how your FAAB is finite and must be managed with the rest of the season in mind, balancing future bids and your week-to-week $1 needs. Did I mention I changed playoffs to be 2 weeks long? 4 teams, round 1 is weeks 14-15, round 2 is weeks 16-17. Its Miller Time fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Aug 23, 2016 |

It doesn't seem like I announced that playoff change. Is everyone ok with that? We could change the number of teams, do 6 teams with a bye for #1 and #2, or change it to 1 week playoffs and do 14 weeks and then playoffs in weeks 15 and 16. I kind of like the second idea, I'm wary about making the championship depend partially on week 17 when teams are resting their starters. We also need to decide on a payout structure. The leaguesafe is set to majority vote this year, not commissioner control. I'd like to get a little creative this year to make things fun. If we did 16 weeks: $5 each for the highest score of the week in the regular season: $65 Some payout to highest scorer in the regular season $50 to the winner of the consolation bracket. I read a good idea about it being a non-elimination 2-4 week (depending on playoff length) points derby $70 to 3rd place $100 to 2nd place $300 to 1st place I'll put this alongside something more traditional ($500 for first, $100 for second) up to a vote before the draft. I like your idea toybux and I like changing the playoffs to not go into week 17. Its Miller Time fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Green gloves - I'd suggest looking through the 2015 league history, I imagine you can see the prices free agents went for last year. It was a mixed bag - sometimes great players slipped by for $5 and other times people dropped $50 on someone who ended up being a 1 week wonder.

Thank you to everyone for your interest, ideas and time. More practical might be a $1 for the highest scorer at each of the 3-4 major positions each week? When I googled I've seen proposals like "longest TD", but that's not something that's easily tracked through ESPN's fantasy platform. I'd prefer stuff that can be pulled up using ESPN's scoring leaders, which gives weekly and season detail of player's basic NFL and fantasy stats. Seems safe to say consensus is the playoffs should end by week 16. Done. There a few other variables though: Number of players: Currently 4, could go up to 6 IMO Use of a Bye: If you have 6 you can either give #1 and #2 a bye or have 3 matches. Length: 2 weeks per playoff round or 1 week I think my preference would be 6 teams, use of a bye for #1 and #2 and 1 week playoffs. However, adding the extra 2 teams does increase the length of the playoffs by 1 week (worst 4 play, 2 winners go up against 2 teams with bye in semis then the championship week). I am also not thrilled at picking at the turn. If everyone could make lovely first round picks it'd be really appreciated. Its Miller Time fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Aug 24, 2016 |

toybux posted:Rather than the season points champ bonus, we could do weekly $1 bonuses for the highest scoring (non-QB) player each week through the regular season, with an extra $2 bonus at the end to the highest weekly individual player score on the season. I enjoy little weekly bonuses, adds a little extra fun element. 2-week rounds wouldn't really work with 6 teams. You need 3 rounds for 6 teams, you'd spend 6 weeks in the playoffs.

Another thing I was thinking about is changing the time in the draft to 120 seconds instead of 60 seconds. I don't like to be rushed. Does anyone know if it's possible to accelerate it once you've started? Perhaps after the 8th round if possible.

toybux posted:Yes, I was unclear. The 4 team 2 week play off would take 4 weeks, which means ending the regular season at week 12, and I'd rather do the 13 game regular season with 6 team 1 week playoffs starting in week 14, with the championship week 16. Seems like the best format, 12 teams with 12 weeks and only 4 playoff teams is a lot of variance. I can quote poo poo too motherfuckers

I'm sorry about the 20 player roster. We ran this league with 9 people last year and I forgot to change it. It's no longer possible to change. I don't really like my team. You all are a lot tougher to draft against than the other goon leagues I'm in. QB: Carson Palmer, Tyrod Taylor and RG3 RB: CJ Anderson, Gio, Sims, Vereen Spiller WR: B. Marshall, K. Allen, Decker, C. Coleman, J. Brown, M. Wheaton, S. Roberts and Ted Ginn TE: Dwayne Allen & Zach Miller DST: Bucs

I had Theo Riddick go in the last round, 15, in a goon draft Wednesday. He went in the 7th in our draft. I think my favorite team is Dab Nation's: QB: Cousins, Mariota, M. Ryan RB: AP, Forte, J. White, Hyde, Hill, T. Coleman, McKinnon, CJ Prosise WR: Jeffery, Watkins, Diggs, C. Johnson, M. Mitchell TE: Barnidge, ASJ, Eifert DST: Broncos

My team is looking up this week. C. Coleman, Decker and Gio all put up 25. I might be starting all 3 Jets receivers next week. I also have Vereen and Sims, who both had their starting RB go down. I will post a quick Monday night preview shortly.
