PROPOSED Rules for second SBR Fantasy Football ESPN League August 24th

[LT Profits]

Note that these are just proposed rules and I am looking for feedback, do NOT send points in this thread. 12 teams, 250 point buy in. There will be two six-team divisions and the regular season will last 13 weeks. There will be six playoff teams, but only the Final 4 will get season points. The two division winners will get a first round bye with the second and third teams in each division facing each other, so the division winners are assured of being in Final 4. The playoff rounds will last one week each in Weeks 14-16. NFL Week 17 will be ignored. The Champion gets 1500 points, the Championship loser gets 500 points and the two semifinal losers each get their 250 points back. Additionally, beginning with Week 9, the high scorers for each week will get 100 points (with ties split evenly). Here are the rules, with the major changes from the first draft being the addition of a FLEX position and the addition of one point per reception:

How does home field advantage work in FF? Is that the same thing as getting the first week off for playoffs for the top two seeds? I noticed you have that off, but what is that??

As you said, we are NOT using it, but if we were, home team would get either 1,2 or 3 points added to final score.

[LT Profits]

bump

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I'm in, so I'll send you 50 points at some point!

[William Walters]

This sounds good. Think I may join and show Picker a thing or two.

[LT Profits]

I am hoping to set this up live this Monday, so guys and gals have until then to make suggestions.

[LT Profits]

By the way, still ONE spot open for the first draft THIS Friday night. http://forum.sbrforum.com/sbr-points...pros-only.html

[ttwarrior1]

ill play in this one

[Cuse0323]

Looks good to me, I'm definitely down to join. Don't have the points but can get them by then or a loan if you need them right away, would like to lock up a spot.

[gamble]

i would definitely be in as well

[LT Profits]

Maybe I should make this Live sooner? No Complaints?

[convick]

This is more like it. Id say that after the other one drafts then this one can go live. Im definitely interested in joining this one. The Draft would still be for 8/24 right?

[LT Profits]

Yes August 24. I may just make this live shortly after the first one fills, which still has one spot left.

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

I'd like to join this one.

[GamblerSpirit]

I'd like to join this one.

nice avy

Can I join this one, too?

[freeagent]

I would be interested LT, thanks for running. Don't usually do ppr leagues, looks like the ppr only counts towards WR's and does not count towards RB receptions?

PPR counts toward ALL receptions by everyone.

[freeagent]

PPR counts toward ALL receptions by everyone.

OK that's what I thought, thanks for clearing up. I misinterpreted the rushing category you have listed above to mean RB and the receiving category to mean WR. Looks like your really on the ball and will make a great commish.
