Honestly, I don't know what I want to put here, so I'm going with this.
So I noticed that I had draft picks on my team page, and then noticed the setting for draft pick order was "Manually Set by League Manager". Just want to double-check, is that the setting we were going with, or should it be the "randomized one hour prior to draft time" one? I swear that's what was used in previous seasons. [I can't attest to last season because I stupidly took a nap on draft night.]

I don't remember what we did last time but I had someone asking me what the draft order was so I turned manual on, hit randomize once and set it. If that's not fair somehow I'll change it but I don't see how it would be unfair.

Hmm, didn't realize that there was a manual randomize button, that works then.

Well, everyone in this thread is definitely loving crazy so I figure cross posting this is okay:


GoonTier now has room for 2, one of our guys couldn't make the draft.

3 DONG HORSE posted:

GoonTier B needs TWO!!

Dues: 20 bucks

Draft: Sep 5 at 9pm est

Don't know what it is? Long story short, it's a relegation league similar to soccer. Top 3 in Tier B move up, bottom 3 in Tier A move down at the end of every season. Tier B is redraft and Tier A is keepers. Both use IDP and 0.5ppr. The three promoted teams have a supplement draft to select keepers before the actual draft.

I'm annoyed that I autodrafted Watt because I showed up late, but also realize it could be a pretty great pick. Would rather have had Landon Collins or Khalil Mack. I definitely feel better about this draft more than last years.

Wait what, they officially moved the game to week 11? I thought a neutral location was the desired position, because no team wants to play a 16-game schedule without a break. What a dumb decision.

Few games in for the day, turns out 3 of my players did awful anyway. I was going to suggest to you to pick up a DT for the week, but you might not have needed to anyway. Lost Lavonte David for the week, and might've chosen the wrong LB to replace him in my starting lineup.

I didn't want to drop any draft picks for a one week replacement this early. Looks like I might get lucky though!

How's everyone feeling so far this season, now that we're about a quarter of the way through? How do you like the roster make ups and the scoring changes?

I certainly like seeing big rear end numbers for dudes but I can't decide if the big play bonuses make it too swingy. I think that's just the nature of IDP regardless.

I thought I liked my team and just hit bad luck to go 1-3 but it looks like 7 of the 12 teams have scored more points than me so maybe I need to re-evaluate....

I like the new format. It's still too early to tell but so far so good.

I have way too many LBs now that Burfict is back and Shane Ray is still on IR too

Stat corrections kicked me out of the playoffs in favor of Sacks for the Sack God. Since he's a real life friend of mine he made sure to rub that in. Of course he lost to another of our friends last week so ha!

This league is terrible, because it is one of the few leagues I didn't make the playoffs in. Naturally, I assume the fault is with the rest of you and not myself and my three game losing streak to end the season. :D

I look forward to next year!

Congrats!

This is always one of my favorite leagues, which is why I took it over this year. I just wish I hadn't sucked so hard at it this year!

I fully intend to run it again and if anyone has any complaints or suggestions for improvement for next year please let me know!
