Changed up the scoring just a bit - This is definitely PPR now (though on the settings, it only allows me to award a point for receivers, and doesn't have that option for RBs who make a catch. Is this automatic?)

Also, it appeared those who commented preferred only -1 for ints/lost fumbles. I evened up the points on defense (10,7,4,2,0,-2,-4,-7,-10 for points given up), and eliminated points for yards allowed. Also, for the main positions, I have only 1 bonus amount (300 yards passing, 100 rushing, 100 receiving - 3 point bonus for each of these markers).

Again, check over the scoring - we're getting close!

Cool. Yeah, I'm guessing it will. The more I think about it, it only has that option under the "receiving" point category, which makes sense. It's not talking about "receivers" per se, just receiving in general. I'm dumb. Whatever. Just ready for the draft...

I will preface my post by saying that I know I'm super annoying. I can't help it =/

So is there like a link or something in the ESPN League page with the rules that are set? I'm assuming there is and I just don't know how to access it because I'm clueless and may have been lobotomized at birth.

And one more thing --- Could we have the draft order determined more than an hour before the draft? *

Ideally for me, since I have commitments from 10:00 am until about 1:45, it would be awesome if we could know the draft order early Sunday morning.

*Bolded for extra noticeability

That would be fine with me too - I just checked the settings, and it will only allow me 2 options. Either randomized 1 hour prior, or manually set by me. So if we could figure out another random way to decide beforehand, I could manually set the results. But not sure how we could do this. Any thoughts?

Is there any benefit to waiting? couldn't we theoretically find out the draft order now? Or would that be too advantageous to the competition?

i don't see they benefit of finding out the draft order at the last minute.

It doesn't really matter to me, I'd rather know sooner than later - It would also likely speed up our 1st couple of rounds.

My concern (being commish) is that I don't want to be accused of anything by using this non-espn site for drafting orders. Unless everyone saw it and gave their approval, I don't want people receiving emails from a website they've never been to telling them what draft pick they have.

But the commish in another league I'm in used it, and everything went well.
