We will proceed with 14

- No K or DEF seems to be consensus

- FAAB or rolling waiver? I agree, FAAB is way to go. Won't be too much action on the wire in a league this size either way.

- Postion breakdown can go something like

QB
RB
RB
WR
WR
WR
TE
FLEX (RB/WR/TE)
FLEX (RB/WR/TE)

9 starting spots
Let's call it 11 bench spots, even 20 man rosters. We could subtract a WR spot, run 3 flexes, something like that. I like the idea of large starting rosters like DT45 mentioned.

Would like some thoughts here.


- Top/Bottom scoring, pretty self explanatory

- Scoring

Main issue will be QB passing TDs - 4 or 6?
1 PPR
1 pt every 10 yds rush
1 pt every 10 yd receiving
1 pt every 25 pass
6 for rushing/rec TD
milestone bonuses? 300 yd pass, 100 rec or rush etc??
return yards? could be a good idea, will open up player pool some, especially w 3 WR and 2 flex


- Bottom feeder penalty? will discourage tanking. in the same breath, im thinking we run a weighted lottery for rookie drafts in following seasons. Dont want a team to tank and automatically win 1st overall pick. Teams that don't make playoffs will be assigned a number of balls. Playoff teams would draft in reverse order of standings after lottery is ran.

- Inaugural slow draft will consist of every player. We will run random draft order thingy, that order will allow whoever is first to chose his draft position, then second will pick their position, and so on. This will take awhile, so while it's a slow draft, we just ask that owners be mindful of time. We can set a modest time limit. We can track in a thread then add to ESPN when they go live.



what else , what else ....

Not a fan of Milestones or Return yards, but that is partially because I don't typically have leagues like that.

Meh on the penalty. I like the weighted Lottery idea.

Sounds good. Anyone not normally in a TD league should let the league know google chat ID, etc.

FAAB seems fine to me.

I think I would prefer a 3rd flex instead of 3 wr spots.

I want top/bottom.

I guess I will lean towards 4 pt passing td and to include mile stone bonuses. I am uncertain though and could be swayed.

I would like to hear what other ideas people have about discouraging tanking. Someone else said to use projections after fantasy regular season ends. You are saying penalties and a lottery for the draft. All these options seem to have their particular issues to me, even if necessary. I would just like to hear some more options if anyone has any ideas.

Also, I already mentioned that I think future draft picks should be able to be traded but no more than one year in the future, if anyone has any opinions on that.

So you're going with ESPN. Going to have to keep track of traded picks in the league thread

GOOD

I vote 6

I vote no. I have a league that does this, and its far too arbitrary. I see no reason so bonus someone for 101 yds but not 99 yds.

agree if we go with 3WR

I like the idea of using lottery for teams who don't make the playoffs. I'd be fine with a last place penalty.

FAAB (can be traded and used an asset, yes?)

I can't seem to highlight and copy rosters, but that's fine, looks good.

Bottom feeder I'm for. Lottery as well is fine.

Rookie drafts. Two or four rounds?

Prefer 3 FLEX to 3 WR

For the record, never played like this in football, but I'm cool with it. But what have this scoring format?

quote:

Vote 4.

Bottom feeder penalty


Did we decide on 3 or 2 bottom feeders?

quote:

modest time limit


Please let's do this. It's courteous IMO.

Disregard my comments if this stuff is covered in the polls you'll link me in the email.
This is my TD email but will probably give you my real email so it's not posted on the board.

Just an idea for bottom feeder penalty from one of my other leagues: low scorer/bottom feeder has to pay the high scorer/1st place $50.

FAAB seems like to consensus. I've never done that but down to try it.

Position breakdown seems fine.

I've always played passing TDs as 6pts because in every league I've been in, a TD counts for a TD no matter how it's scored but I'll roll with the flow on this.

Like the ability to trade draft picks. Brings another variable into the equation.

Have never done IR but am down for that. Don't really understand the penalty thing.

Think there should be 4 rounds in the rookie draft

Cool with return yards meaning something, indifferent on bonus.

Have never messed with or even heard of FanTrax

Can't remember the other discussions of the top of my head.
