I have no problems with the league going to 15, but this will affect the WW/FA process with less available players. If we go to 15 I propose we add a 3rd WW pickup date through the week. Say a Sunday, Tues, Thurs.

That is basically what a quality bench is for... unless you are hoarding a position and abusing the system having only one much less two waiver periods in a week should not be a problem.

Exactly. If we are going to have a FAAB date 3 times a week, we might as well go back to the old way. Once or twice a week is plenty.

I will work within the constraints of the league. I am sure I will adjust fine to FAAB. I enjoyed last year and hope this years ESPN league will be just as fun.

I think FAAB twice a week will work. Wednesday and Sunday night at 10 pm CST.

Still need payment from:

floridatigah
Zephyrius
House of Cards
tchamp2

Papz, the current vote is 4-2 in favor of making it 15. Everyone go and vote because I would rather the decision be represented by as many as possible.

Replied to your email House of Cards.

To those who have not paid, please pay before the draft.

Papz, I am going to close the vote at 7 pm CST (24 hours before draft time), which should mean you will be back in the league.

I think it is fair to let everyone know that the average auction prices are for a 10-man league. We have 14 (or likely 15), so bid accordingly. There will be 115 more players drafted than in a standard ESPN league.

Got your money.

Just need from florida and tchamp.

Worst case scenario is I do not hear from until draft time and they can pay right then before the draft starts.

Voting on bringing back papz closes in under 15 minutes. Vote is now 5-4.

I'm a little surprised it's 5-4. I've played with the majority for the past 2 years.

I voted yes.

By the way, I have updated the OP with a couple new things.

Also, with the amount of people on this board looking for a league that never got filled (Gyno's Spring Training), I thought of a great idea. Make a TDFL style baseball league.

Like TDFL, it has 24 teams and 2 conferences, but the wrinkle in this league is one conference is roto and the other is H2H. Both conferences are auctions with separate player pools. Non-keeper, so you can change conferences any year you want. We would manage two separate leagues on ESPN (or whatever site) and then manually score the finals on TD. Bigger pot, more players, awesome blend of H2H and roto.

So you would end the roto league 4 weeks early and have them play h2h playoffs? How would that work

yeah that was me that paid...

I really didn't have an opinion on 15 or not. I might have thrown in a vote if it came out tied.

But what was cool about Votto last year was that 12 of the 14 teams were in reach of the money in late august. I'm not sure that's going to happen with 15 teams.

Invite sent.

The roto season goes longer x weeks longer and determines its conference champ at the end of the H2H conference finals. Roto season would be like 24 weeks long and H2H would be like 20 weeks regular season plus 4 weeks playoffs. Meet in week 25 title bout.

The only pain in the arse would be manual scoring in week 25 because the week 24 would be the end of the league, so I would guess ESPN or whatever site may stop tracking our players.
