Looking for payments from final 2, however, I did say first 12 to pay are in.

We will be drafting live here on TigerDroppings and absorbing whatever criticism comes from the peanut galley. The draft will start shortly after we get 12 paid teams.

We will use Sleeper to decide the draft order, then I’ll add teams to Sleeper after the draft.

The whole point of this league is to have fun while also giving the board an idea of how players fall in an actual draft. Mock drafts can be unreliable as people don’t take them seriously, and ADP at this point is skewed by Best Ball.

Rosters will consist of QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, Flex, Flex, and 6 bench. We’ll allow 2 IR slots for players listed as out only.

Standard Sleeper PPR scoring...full PPR, 4 pt passing TDS, 6 pt rush/receiving TDs, 1 point per 25 passing yards, 1 point per 10 rushing/receiving yards, -1 per interception, -2 per fumble lost, etc.

We will play head-to-head, but will play an extra game against the median. Basically, that means the top 6 highest scorers each week get an extra win, and the bottom 6 get an extra loss. To me, it's the best of both worlds as you get the fun/randomness of head-to-head, but it takes away from the sting of being the 2nd highest scoring team and losing to the highest scoring team.

Here's the League Safe link. First 12 to pay are in.

Also, here is the Sleeper link. We’re currently at 12, but if someone pays before the holdouts, I’ll boot them.

I don't have the patience for that. I'm already huffing and puffing when people don't know who they're gonna take as soon as it's their turn. I'm over here yelling at the screen "how do you not know who you're gonna pick by now!?"

Would anyone be interested in doing an early draft league where we slow draft here on Tigerdroppings for all to see?


Sure, as in..? Like 12 hours or something? Clock turns off like at midnight type stuff?

It took a couple of days when we did the Fantasy Regulars draft this way.

Honestly, a slow draft right here on the board sounds awesome. It’s way more entertaining than a standard 60-second clock, and the inevitable trash talk from the peanut gallery makes it even better.

Count me in! A $25 buy-in is the perfect sweet spot to keep everyone serious and active without breaking the bank. Let’s get a count going and lock in the rules

I don't like the slow format at all. But, I read your updated OP and I do like the idea of finding out where guys are going. Still though, if someone else wants my spot, I really don't care either way.
