It looks like we decided on $10 buy in and you can keep 2 keepers. Is everyone still good with this?

Any other suggestions?

I liked the idea of the consolation bracket to decide the draft order starting next year.

Payouts something like $80 first, $40 second, $20 for 3rd?

Still good with the money and keepers, also quoting my suggestions from the last thread to spread the money a bit if you wanted to. Ok if we don’t.

Silly Burrito posted:

That's cool for this year, but I have a proposal for next year. Whoever makes the playoffs gets inverse order of finish the next year (So I'd draft 14th, wAc 13th, etc.). However, whoever makes the consolation bracket, they're playing for the #1 draft pick next year, and the consolation bracket then goes the other way. So the winner of the consolation bracket gets the #1 pick next year, the runner-up gets #2, and so on.

I do this in another league, and it's called the Toilet Bowl vs the Super Bowl. However, we have found that it keeps people playing as it gives them something to play for, and it absolutely destroys the urge to tank, because if you deliberately tank, you're not drafting #1, you're drafting #7 or #8. Sometimes people forget that and we point and laugh at them.

Suggestion for payout with 14 teams:

1st place - 80 bucks
2nd place - 40 bucks
3rd place - 10 bucks
Last place avatar - 10 bucks

OR

1st place - 80 bucks
2nd place - 30 bucks
3rd place - 10 bucks
Last place avatar - 10 bucks
Either highest weekly score of the season or regular season champion - 10 bucks (Personally, I'd say highest weekly score because everyone still qualifies every week to shoot for that)

I'm definitely down for the consolation bracket to determine the draft order. $10 for the last place avatar is good to if everyone else is on board.

I hate the keepers but I've made my peace with it.

I think it should be 70 for first, 40 for 2nd, 10 for third and 10 for the TWO highest scores of the regular season. So a few people will have opportunities to win their cash back, and it's even possible to make ten bucks if you get a couple super high week scores

Oh and one more thing: with the keepers, do you skip the round you drafted that player in or do you just skip however many rounds at the beginning of the draft depending on how many you kept?

We should probably figure out a draft date sooner than later. The closer to the start of the season, the better.

On a Tuesday? That's okay as long as it doesn't start too early. Last draft I missed a pick or two because they came during my commute from work to home. I'd be home by 5 pacific, 8 eastern though.

Interesting. Unsurprisingly, I didn't understand that at first. I'll have to check if I've got anything worthwhile.

as far as I'm aware unless you specifically set it up that way, yahoo usually defaults to "keepers take the place of the first 1/2 rounds of the draft" instead.

Is 8:30PM eastern / 5:30PM pacific a good starting time?

I've always done keepers where you drafted them the previous year is where you get them or they move up 1 round. Say you drafted a guy in the 9th, he counts as your 8th rounder. And free agent pickups count as 10th rounders. Thoughts on that?

I'm fine with either way, but this way benefits me a hell of a lot more than the other way personally (since I picked up Lev Bell as a free agent). But if you do this, will you be planning a length limit on keepers, because if I pick up Alvin Kamara (or whatever hot rookie RB/WR) a few years ago as a free agent, I'm gonna be able to keep him for a 10th rounder, then a 9th, then an 8th, and so on...

Keeping it as a 1st/2nd rounder makes it simple, and you don't have to backtrack and figure out when you picked the player up. Plus if someone doesn't want their keepers, I'm assuming they get a 1st/2nd round pick unless they are forced to keep 2 players. Not sure exactly how it can be done through the Yahoo interface, but it does invite a bit of risk/reward if you have to choose between your first and/or first/second round picks and 1/2 keepers.

I've had it capped at 3 years. It is a pain to keep track of but it's doable.

I'm fine however we decide.
