Ever find the case where one division benefits more from having weaker owners?
The one i play is a non-keeper league.
It was started back in 1997, and grew to 16 teams by 2002. Everyone lived in Baton Rouge. But then, people started getting real jobs, families, kids, etc.
We ended up creating a 20 man, 2 conference league. Ten owners live in Baton Rouge (or near it) and have a live draft. The other ten owners live across the country (in fact across the world now), and they draft online.
I'm telling you all of this to come to this point. Which conference do you think is more competitive? It's the one that did the live draft, obviously. They all still hang out and talk shite nonstop. The other league is changing diapers and shite. Once their team is out of it, you don't hear much from them.
In other words, I think that because everyone involved in the TDXX leagues are pretty active, the competitive balance shouldn't be compromised.
However, I am a little concerned about a couple of owners not being active once their team is out of it. I can't stand it when teams dont set a lineup each week. It takes two fricking minutes.

I don't see any of our owners doing that.

I can.
Hell, I believe McCain quit changing his lineup in TDFL one year.

i dont thnk that would be a problem if we were selective and charged say 80-100 per head
agree..and you'd be a fan of 2-10 team leagues? teams would be stacked.
i'm down with whatever..just trying to play devils advocate on some things.
My stance with fantasy has always been everyone should have to compete for the same players (FA and draft), have access to same owners to trade, and have a fair/balanced schedule.

Every league faces the same problems. We created two things to fight this:
1. Regular season high score pool of $150. Even if your team is out of it, there is still a chance for you to catch lightning in a bottle and have the highest score of the season.
2. The teams who do not make the playoffs are entered into the Toilet Bowl. We have a 12 team league with 6 in the real playoffs and 6 in the Toilet Bowl. In the Toilet Bowl, the two worst teams get a bye, and the teams which lose in each round advances. The losingest team in the end has to pony up an additional $50.

or we could try and find 24 teams and do 12 n 12

i see the point in this definitely.
But i cant say that a huge pot$$ where the 2 best teams meet in the championship in a league with 20 or 24 owners overall doesn't intrigue me.

Another option....use the first season to rank the teams. Top ten teams go in one conference. Bottom ten teams go in another conference.
At the end of the season, the bottom four teams in conference A get moved to conference B, and the top four teams from conference B get moved to conference A.
No keepers.
Of course, there is a lot of details to sort out, but I've always been curious on how leagues do that.

Yeah, I once read about a huge league that did that. Let me see if I can find the article.
Posted on 7/14/11 at 11:04 am to reddman
We are considering this n my main league, bc it's so competitive & there's a longstanding wait list. not sure we'd do 4, maybe bottom 2 get demoted

yep. though we'd have to be selective with the DAT boys.

Karma is notorious for checking out or not even setting his line-up when he's contending.
Bottom line, let's not get too big (24) because then you are going to start pulling in unknowns who could be bad owners. I say limit it to 20 (10/10) and keep it all in the TDXX group if we can - we know they compete and keep up better than the avg schlub. Also no keeps.

it's an idea.
I fear we are getting in the weeds and over complicating this
24 teams, 2 player pools, no keeper--Auction draft every year

The good thing about the DAT league is that we can get opinions from Honk, Barry, and Toula on how active a poster is. I don't mind that, if we deem it necessary.

We probably have the worst two keepers sets

i dont think we have to keep it strictly to TDXX owners. a lot of people that dont play baseball or basketball do play football
and lets face it, there are prob 6-8 decent owners in TDXX leagues and the rest are just meh.

there's easily 5-6 good, active owners.
