SKA SUCKS


Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6

Back to life. Like Jon Snow. In Game of Thrones.

Like the city of Mereen, we are a free league. Also like the city of Mereen, our dialogue is dumb as heck, we negotiate with one-sided & insulting trade offers, and the person in charge doesn't know what he's doing. Oh, and we have a keeper system.

Site:
ESPN - League Page

Scoring:

1Q / 2R / 2W / 1T / 1 WRT / 1DST / 7 BN - no kickers
0.5 PPR otherwise ESPN standard

Draft & Schedule:
Monday September 3rd 7pm CENTRAL
H2H weeks 1-13
Playoffs: 4 teams qualify then 2 rounds of 2-week playoffs (wks 14-17)

Keepers:
Up to 3 keepers
Keeper values are last years auctions' cost plus $5
Auction is a $200 budget.

And GoT related names are mandatory of course.

Previously on Game of Roto:
S1 Champ: nerve (Hallyne's Wildfire)
S2 Champ: Sataere (We Do Not Suh)
S3 Champ: uublog (The Raineys of Castamere)
S4 Champ: RVProfootballer (Khal Tebow of the Chipraki)
S5 Champ: Marshmallow Blue (All Men Must Tear ACLs)
S6 Champ: Oh Snapple! (An Unleashing of Dragons)

I'm joined up. Looking forward to the draft! How is draft date set, doodle poll?

I see the league has the typical ESPN setup with 2-week finals. Man, those week 17's are super rough.

you can nominate any changes and they are put to a vote, once the league is filled you could vote to modify the playoffs!

That’s so naturally set up with 14 teams. I love the 14 team format. 6 teams make the playoffs, top two get first round byes, and playoffs run 1 week per game in weeks 14-16.

On top of that, every team plays each other once during the regular season.

It works great.

If the remaining two owners haven't responded by Wednesday (8/1) night I will open it up to new owners. I'm also very in favor of going to a 14 team league if we can manage to find the owners.

I'll bet we can find the owners, no problem. I'll help find them. Anyone object to moving to 14 teams? I presume existing keepers will be unaffected.

Since it'll only be 2 new teams, I'm fine with keepers either staying or being reset. Either way.

In other news, it's past Aug 1, time to find replacements and, potentially, the 2 new teams?

I'm good with 14 teams.

I am not good with resetting keepers. I've joined several keeper leagues where you start at the bottom because you joined later. That's just the nature of the beast. Good players will only take a year (or less!) to turn it around. Also we only keep 3, so definitely not insurmountable.

If we move to 14 teams, does that increase the auction dollars? I'm not familiar with that part. And if it does increase, do all the keepers get increased by that % automatically?

I think it stays the same and you need to manage your money better. Inflation wouldn't solve anything.

Okay so we need 4 new owners, for our shiny 14 team league! Auction bux and keepers will both stay the same.

I wasn't sure how it would work.

Changing the # of teams does increase the value of each $, though. So the $5 increase for keepers becomes more expensive.
