I'm totally in again. I like this league and I've finished #1 and #2 the last two years (so close to going back-to-back!).

In my personal experience, I prefer having the FAAB minimum. And I'm speaking as someone who has conserved his budget for use during the playoffs and as someone who used it all up before the playoffs even started. I like the element of having to be smart with my money.

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.
I'm cool with going 4 teams/2 weeks-per-game playoffs but like the others, I'd prefer it end on week 16.

quote:

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

As for payouts, I like Miller Time's idea. I'd say maybe make the weekly high score payout only for the regular season (then 13x$5=$65) and then add the remainder as a bonus for whoever finishes the regular season with the most points ($15).
I like these ideas. Keeps things competitive and I'm more into the fun of it than the payout.

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.
I believe this is doable. My local ESPN league had guys bitching about how long it was taking last year and I'm almost positive our commish was able to to reduce the clock time mid-draft.

The draft room opened an hour before the draft. If you go to your team page on ESPN.com, there should be a button to enter the draft room.

Yeah I think it's gonna be a great season. No idea who will win. I hope I didn't gently caress up by grabbing Rodgers in the 5th
The QBs were just too good to keep waiting on one after a point. I was really tempted to go after Newton/Wilson/Rogers when I still saw them on the board in the 4th round and had to convince myself to keep waiting. Then I'm on the clock in the 7th and Drew Brees is still there and it seemed like a no-brainer to me.

The waiver wire is so barren it's hilarious. There will be a single available player that goes off in Week 1 or 2 and someone will spend 80% of their budget. I hope we see some trades this year.

Thanks for the effort guys but I'm not sure it was necessary this week.

*does the 5-0 with the most points in the league dance*

I'm really glad I gambled on David Johnson at #3 overall in the draft. He has been everything I hoped for. Please never die.

Good win. I knew my undefeated streak wouldn't last forever but it was fun while it lasted. I even pulled JJ Nelson's 2 TD performance out of my rear end for my second flex spot in order to make you work for it!

I guess something must've happened to our commish. He was on the ball the first two seasons and fielded some strong teams.

Crowder picked a wonderful night to have his worst game of the year but 31 combined yards from Crowder/Reed was apparently good enough!

I am praying for no stat corrections...

Well at least I'll get my shameful 2nd place prize eventually. Guess I'll have to find a new league next year. I liked this one too. I've been in every championship matchup since the league was started three years ago.
