    How about 100 points to top score Weeks 10-14? That is 5 weeks so would leave 1500, making final distribution 1125 / 375

    I'll rather pay an extra 50 to go towards that prize pool before the season starts.

    Agree, probably best to keep as is for this one and make next draft 250 apiece. Consider this one a "practice" draft.

    One thing, is there really no flex spot? The ESPN default this year has a flex where you can even start a 2nd TE in that flex as well as another RB or WR depending on what you choose.

    Just wanted to make sure I am reading that right, because I have never seen a league without a flex like position.

    I don't want to ask for a second transfer, we'll just bump it in the next draft.

    That's the beauty of an early draft, you can work out the kinks for the next one. I have never been a fan of the Flex, which is why I took it out and the league has one less roster spot than the ESPN standard league. I think everyone should have the same amount of players at each position and don't like the fact that Flex would allow only SOME guys to start an extra running back.

    I'm in .Can the players in this one have first preference in the 2nd or 3rd one?Have a feeling they are going to fill up fast and there is a good chance I won't see the threads for the next ones until it is to late.

    Just my input but the way this league is set up I would never pay to be in if it was a real money league. 200 betpoints though and it doesn't matter to me. I'm just letting u know because I'm sure I'm one of many that think the next one should have mad changes.

    I wouldn't say "mad" changes. Next will have 3 RB and 3 WR so 10 starters and 17-man roster. Fee will be 250 with 100 points going to top scorer of each last 5 weeks of regular season and finalists still getting 1500 / 500. Aside from taking a vote whether or not to add PPR, what else do you suggest?

    Personally I like more than two teams making the playoffs and each playoff week being only 1 weekend. Two divisions winners and next two high records are wild cards regardless of division. If u do 12 teams which is even better then u have two division winners getting a first week bye. Then next 4 top records make the playoffs. Paying top 4 only though so if u win your division u are guaranteed to be in the money since u have a first week bye for the playoffs. Only 2 Wr and 2 rb but one flex. Maybe a higher buy in and awards for the season could be one of many different kinds of bonuses.

    I gave reasons why I hate the Flex, at least 3 RB and 3 WR would have equal rosters (by Pos). I also gave reason why I prefer 2-week playoffs (which is ESPN default). Personally, I would prefer 16-week season with no playoffs and just pay out top 2 teams, but ESPN requires playoffs.

    I also don't know how flexible ESPN is with number of playoff teams. I know i can do 2, 4 or 8 but I don't know if I can do 6 with byes. And I think if I do 4, it would be top 2 in each division, NOT the div winners and next 2 best records. Think of each division as a conference.

    Looks like I misspoke, the MAXIMUM amount of playoff teams is 4.

    i might be able to play the last one. i just don't have the points to play right now. I owe on a loan and need my daily for poker, so I'll pass for now. good luck

    Im pretty sure if u wanted you can customize to no playoffs or just 2 teams

    i usually play 16 weeks, 6 teams in the playoffs , top 2 teams get a bye, playoffs week 14 15 and championship is 16

    OK how is this for next one: 12 Teams, add FLEX to current 2 RB and 2 WR so 9 starters and 16-man roster, 4 playoffs teams keeping 14-week season with one week playoffs in Weeks 15-16. Keep it 200 points with NO top score bonus since extra playoff teams should minimize dumping (which should be reported ASAP anyway).
