VKC, Why don't you add the people who have mentioned that they are in for this year to the OP.

Any way to send out an e-mail requesting people to check in? I know it's still very early.

I am going to in a couple of minutes. Started a real job last week, and I have a lot less time cause I am doing personal stuff only outside of work and occasionally on my phone.

We are already at eight returning. That is a strong start. Waiting to hear from:

tchamp - probably in if I had to guess
White Lobster - almost assuredly out

I'm still debating... plenty of time before the season starts. I don't want to join and leave again. That vote was pretty close and I bet the majority of those frickers checked out at mid season.

You always have a spot, but I will put you down for a maybe. If we get to the point where everyone else decides, then I may ask for your decision or to not vote on anything if you are still undecided. You probably will have until the last minute to be honest.

I don't know if Chat is out. I'm just assuming he is probably leaning towards just the dynasty.

yeah I'm out. I can only handle one baseball league and a 20 team dynasty feels like it'll be a doozy.

The way FAAB is set up, as much as I was opposed to it last season, it made this league the lowest maintenance of my 4 leagues last season. After we finish drafting, you're going to get that itch to fire another draft up during the wait before the season. I know I did last year.

It was too low maitenance for me. If daily FAAB was possible, then I would love to give that a spin.

I need to ask because I get my leagues mixed up. This league was NOT a keeper correct? If so, any changes or debates of changes for this year? Draft date - I need to make sure I stick it on the calendar.

Non-keeper

Rule changes: cleaning up FAAB and the possible introduction of a bottom feeder penalty. I cannot remember if I am missing any.

Draft day is unknown, but it is something I want to do as soon as we "finalize" members. With a lot of the TD leagues using a slow draft, we should have the calendar fairly open in terms of leagues on here. This is a long, live draft, so Sunday early evening is probably the targeted day.

Yo. I'm a maybe right now. If you find someone else to take my spot give it to them. I'm in three other leagues and 4 just may be too much for me.

I'm most likely not in the re-draft this year champ... just a heads up.

That's fine. Will put you down as a maybe. We have room for you, so it is ultimately up to you.

Bump for open spots. I am holding a reserved spot for Papz, so we will make the cut off at 13, but we only have 9 right now.

Beyond looking for new members, let's start hammering out some details:

Draft date: Since most TD leagues do a slow draft, this opens up a lot of windows for us. I would assume most of us want something like Sunday evening.

FAAB: How many days a week should FAAB process? What time should it be done? Etc. This needs to be open for discussion because it is the elephant in the room.

Categories: Do any categories need to be altered? I would not a switch from K to K/9 because RW3R and most other TD leagues do it that way. It also limits streaming even though we have a season long IP limit.

IP limit: I would suggest to leave it at the standard IP limit for ESPN leagues whatever that is.

I think a google spreadsheet of everyone's answer would be helpful. Give it some thought, discuss it in the thread, and we will figure it out.

Also, I want the returning members to have the vast majority (if not all) of the say on the league rules. However, I will definitely accept any input from any newcomers.

Any way that we could make waivers run daily? That way you have to spend a dollar amount on every transaction(should limit streaming). This way you don't have to wait 3-4 days to get someone, and give the people who keep up with things an advantage.

What I was always irked by was when someone caught fire, or was called up there was a 2-3 day gap to let EVERYONE catch on.

Personally for a roto league I like total K's. It just takes a different strategy.
