I'm about 90% in. It always depends on what i have going on in March but as of now I'm in.
March 19th will not work for me though (have another draft). The 12th or the 26th are both good.
I'm ok with keeping the rules as is.$75 entry but keep the bottom feeder.

I'm interested in re-upping if there is room. Entry fee @ 75/100 is preferred.

I'm in. Fine with raising the buy in. I'm drafting on the 19th, traveling home on the 26th.
Posted on 2/28/17 at 9:22 am to floridatigah
Does that mean the 26th is good or bad for you? It sounds like the 19th is not good for anyone.

I am in again ( Tubby) - 19th wont work for me either
Posted on 2/28/17 at 10:04 am to Vicks Kennel Club
It's not good but if it's the best option then I can do it. Would probably have to be in the evening, I'm going to try to book my flight today so I'll let you know what times could work.
Posted on 2/28/17 at 10:04 am to kd1036
Nyjer Please is in again
The later the draft (date not time) the better for me as it will give me more time to prepare. But I am flexible with any Sunday evening.
I am for an increase in the entry fee. $75-$100 doesn't matter.
I am against any other changes. The format has worked out well the last few years and I prefer to keep it the same.

Gotcha. Let me know what time you book. I have to assume a 3 hour draft, so I will not start it later than 8 central, but 7 central would be preferred. Finishing by 11/10 pm would be reasonable.
Yes, it is a late night for Honkus on the East Coast. Get your wife's permission to stay up one night in advance.

It is a great and very fair format. I love it. If the other suggested rule changes do not gain any steam (besides my push), then we will only adjust the entry fee plan.
Posted on 2/28/17 at 10:20 am to windyhilltiger09
Gordon, I will add you to the list. To be honest, it scares me that you only have 9 posts, but I noticed that half of them are to join fantasy leagues. We would encourage you to post on here related to the league.
Did anyone else here play the fantasy basketball league run by oleyeller? It looks he joined that and I want to confirm he is a good owner.

Go ahead and put me down as a yes for k/9, I like that and it isn't a huge change.
Posted on 2/28/17 at 10:24 am to Honkus
Honkus, you mind defending why you want to keep the bottom feeder?
The higher the entry fee will encourage activity, and I highly doubt a penalty between $5-$15 makes a difference. I would rather increase the pot, have winners get more money, and have less trouble trying to figure out every email to send money to.
We will a poll on what the entry fee should be. The current options will be $75, $100, and Other. If $75 and $100 are too high, then let me know, but I cannot imagine that it is an issue with most/all of us playing in other league with similar costs.

Sure..
Owners "checking out" after they are out of the running is the easiest way to ruin an otherwise competitive roto league. This makes it one of the most important issues a commish will face.
I think you were on to something last year with the teired bottom feeder penalty. It still failed but i think it just needs a little tweaking. 15$ was not enough motivation. If we increase the bottom feeder and spread it out over the bottom of the standings i think it will give owners more motivation to keep setting their lineup throughout August & September.
Here is my proposal for a 14 team league with 75$ entry/ 25$ BF:
14- gets nothing back
13- 5
12th- 10
11th- 15
10th- 20
4th thru 9th- 25
3rd- 100
2nd- 300
1st- 800
May not solve the entire problem but its a good start and cannot hurt. I dont think simply raising the entry will help bc once your out of the running, that money is gone (whether its 50, 75 or 100 makes no difference at that point).

I don't hate that at all. I will put some proposal in the first two posts.
One added stipulation is that you will need to check in at season's end to confirm your Paypal (or Venmo if you absolutely necessary).
I also will only send the larger prize winnings through PayPal, and I would want to just use the same method for the way you sent that.
