A league owner wants to have a barbecue at a park in a couple of weeks to let the owners get to know each other. I suggested that we have some sort of competition to determine the draft order. Games of HORSE, maybe some embarrassing sack races, something like that. Anyone else do something like this for draft order?

IcePhoenix posted:I've brought it up before but people are usually just snarky about it to me so I dropped it Isn't there some sort of draft app where every week you pick five players or so and use those for the week? Thought I heard it on the Fantasy Footballers last season. That might be cool. I also wouldn't mind trying a best ball (is that the right term for a league where you draft once and never do anything again as it chooses your best values) league. But hell, I'm in six leagues now and need to pull back. But I won't.

Drunk Nerds posted:Did you ever try the Calvinball league on SA? IT's basically that but contained to a single season. I never did it, but it seems that the consensus was it's fun but being commish is brutally hard because you get tax code levels of rule interactions I won it in the only year I played. Throw out any strategy in a normal league and fling feces all over the place and you might win or get 12th place.

pmchem posted:The "20 Team League" thread from last season is locked. That's coming back for 2018, right? It will. Not sure if Jetsguy talked with Darkwolf yet because he expressed interest in becoming the commissioner last season. But one way or another the 20 team league will be back. But as much as I love auction drafts, I doubt it would ever work for that league. That draft would take forever to hold.

DeadMansSuspenders posted:My friends and I made a separate league last year with bonkers scoring for each value. I think fumbles were +3.5 or something. We also decided that the true winner each week was whoever scored closer to 100 without going over. It was absolute madness but fun. There was a Calvinball league here that I was in a few years back where the scoring rules changed every week. Fun as hell and hated to drop it. Not sure if it's still around or not.

Just finalized our last draft for my fifth league, and now I have five drafts in five consecutive days at the end of August. The last one of those will most likely be on a phone. Better start mocking now. It's coming!

BS or not BS: My wife was asked to join a league. Said league was a 10 team league with one keeper at the cost of your first round pick. Now it's been expanded to a 12 team league. Over half of the league is new so 6-7 new teams. I say that since over half the league is new, you should start over fresh, randomize the draft order and no one has keepers to be fair. The ones who had the keepers disagree. Is it BS or not BS to keep the keepers?

I've had this weird idea rolling around my head about a fantasy football league that combines WWE wrestling with fantasy football. For instance, every team (would be an 8 man league to keep the talent pool large) would pick a wrestler. You could determine draft order via a match using Fire Pro or WWE 17 or something similar. Then you use a point total type league and work with that to keep it interesting. Various ideas I've had for the year: Week 1 is a Wrestlemania 4 style tournament. All 8 teams play against each other. Week 2, the four winners play each other Week 3, the two winners play each other. The winner is declared the WWE champion. From that point on, every team gets at least one shot at playing for the championship. Since it's a total points league, you could basically ignore the premade schedule and just declare matches and have those weeks score against each other. The three people who played for the championship in weeks 2 and 3 could be the #1-3 contenders to start the season. Various PPVs could be in place for various weeks. Examples include: 1. Money in the Bank. The six players not playing in the championship match for that week play for the top score and the right to declare themselves a chance to insert themselves into a championship match (must be declared before Sunday night game) for a chance at winning the highest point total of the championship match to become the champion) Must be cashed in before Week 14. 2. Extreme Rules - Every team gets one scoring rule change for their match. Scoring is reset to regular rules after that week. Similar to the Calvinball league. 3. Royal Rumble (Done at week 14) - All teams not the champion play for the top score for a guaranteed match at Wrestlemania 4. Wrestlemania - Week 16 - Winner of Royal Rumble vs current champion You could work in a promo system where the people who make the best promos (or post promos of their wrestlers) gets anywhere from a +1 to a +5 added to their score as decided by the WWE CEO (commissioner). Every week, the championship is defended except for the Royal Rumble. I've toyed around with a tag team champion to keep people interested if they're not currently in the mix for the main champion. I think the league would be fun, but I think the commissioner would have to be someone who didn't have a team in the league to keep it fair. You could keep a championship lineage and see how long it takes before you get a Ric Flair/John Cena in your league, but obviously the one who wins at Wrestlemania is the ultimate champion for the year. You could make triple threat/fatal 4-way championship matches and the like during the year to keep it interesting (which is another reason why the CEO shouldn't actually have a team in the league). Either it's a really silly idea and would be a pain to implement, or it could be fun. Silly Burrito fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Aug 11, 2018 |

I feel like we may have talked about this, but any suggestions for a chat app for a league? Someone mentioned GroupMe and that seems like it has a phone and computer log in. I've used discord but I don't think it has a native phone app (maybe it works in the native phone browser though).

It's the most important draft we will ever have because it establishes our team and everything moving forward is rookies and free agents. $50 for Mahomes is still a huge overpay, but if you're happy with it then  .

axelord posted:Can't drop your kicker? It sounds like they suspect a torn ACL, if you were counting on McKinnon as a starter you should make a move. Eh, he was my 3rd RB/flex taken in the fifth or sixth round. I already did the "don't draft a kicker" trick and finally picked one up. Out of everyone here, I could drop Michael Gallup, but I'm going with him as a lottery ticket.

Yeah, someone dropped Ronald Jones to pick up Alf. Think I'll pick up Jordan Wilkins for the kicker, see if Jones makes it through waivers so I don't waste my spot, and then drop McKinnon if I have to. Thanks for the advice.

What happens when Doyle comes back? You won't be able to make any eligible roster moves until you get the guy out of IR (dropping someone else). At least, that's how it works with ESPN.

I asked the Bell owner in our league if he'd rather have (assuming health and similar production): 10 weeks of James Conner at the beginning of the year 3-5 weeks of Leveon Bell at the end of the year/playoffs. He chose the Bell side, obviously, but I don't think it's that cut and dried (and also depending on your RB situation otherwise). You've got to be able to make it to the playoffs first. Honestly, the best thing for all for fantasy would have Bell traded to another team. Now if you have Conner and Bell, then you've got a pretty kickass RB situation.
