Fantasy Football heads up

[blackbeSSt]

i know its early and i know there is still a chance of no season, but just a heads up that i'll be starting another yahoo league this year. last year was fun but we had a couple people slack off towards the end and gave some easy wins away.

12 spots with a 60 point per entry fee. top 3 get paid with 60/30/10% of the 720 total pot.

will prolly roll the outline of last years over to this year.

i'll bump this every so often to see the interest and then start an actual thread with the info.

[Iced]

I'll play. Raising the entry fee up to 100 points wouldn't be a bad idea.

im game for 100. i think last year people didn't wanna shell out 100 so we settled on 60.

[Dax]

Count me in for a hundy!!!

[cant call it]

I already have one brewing blackbe 250 points per person. and have at least one person other than me that is interested.

damn 250 points! it was like pulling teeth to get 12 guys last year to front 60

maybe we'll have enough to fill both for the high rollers and low rollers

I just posted in your thread too. I'm sure there's going to be more than 12 people who want to play fantasy football for points, so two leagues will probably be fine.

[Dax]

I'll play in both...

Your odds of winning one increases!

hell all i ask are people try to make the live draft and actually give a damn and keep up with it

[cant call it]

unlike the other guy who started a nfl draft thread earlier, I want to wait until after the preseason.
We have plenty of time to pray for an nfl season and to figure out when is convenient for all of us to get an appropriate time to set the draft.

if it's not a live draft I'm out I hate those fukin automated draft shits... that goes for both Fantasy games... if they are not LIVE I'm OUT! I usually have 4 or 5 teams that I manage and watch atleast 3 or 4 games at one single time...

[cant call it]

I will play in yours as well blackbe

I had five teams last year. Its tough to both root for a player to do good and to fail at the same time when the season's end comes.

[Dax]

LOL Nice nice, what are your guidelines??? QB,WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE DeF and DEF Player and how many bench players are allowed??? or how do you set it up??? and also how many trades, drops and pick ups can you do, what's the waiver priority and time lots of things you should clear up before...

Yeah I agree. It defeats the point of fantasy football if there's no live draft. Never understood people who like the automatic shit.

Late August is probably a good time to hold the draft.

That's why I always try to get the same players for my teams...

Late Aug sounds GOOD!

[shaunovery]

I'll join if there's room

[Roadtrip635]

I'll play as long as I can make the live draft.

[CarolinaDaze]

Live draft for sure, i'll play both leagues, save me a spot on both, will transfer points when ya'll get things set up. Looking forward to it. I'm good with at least 100 points.

[Cheme82]

I'm in, we should do at least 100 points though.

[robmpink]

Black, I'm interested again. Can you reserve a spot for me? I think 100 points is fine.


BTW anyone interested. Your points are safe during the season.

yeah rob you're good to go

100 is fine by me. lets just not lose them all when the book/casino/poker open back up

[fishmonger]

Why don't we do 14 spots with playoffs starting at week 14? Then everyone plays everyone once and then we head to the playoffs. And have a point penalty for coming in last so people don't slack off at the end. But count me in either way.

[bigdaddyjames]

i am going to have to get into this >>.soon

[Bcatswin]

Id like to get in let me no if i can get a spot.

[Bcatswin]

I only want in if its a live draft though.

[NYSportsGuy210]

I would love in. I think the best idea would be 14 team YAHOO! league (60 SBR points per person), make it a PPR league, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 2 K, 2 DEF and 2 Flex positions (WR/RB/QB).

Top 6 teams make the playoffs with top 2 seeds getting first round byes. Divide the points up among the top 4 teams and maybe the team with the best regular season record gets 30 bonus SB points or something.

[robmpink]

The format we used last year was fine and worked well. Black, I sent you 100 points for my spot. If it is less just send it back when that is determined. Ty

[blackbeSSt]

you're good rob. i'll bump this in a couple weeks and then make a thread mid august with the league name, password, and settings and push for a late august live draft.

but for the time being for folks that weren't in it last year or are thinking about joining here are the settings im rolling over from last year. if there is something that people think need to be changed, we've have a majority rules vote of the league.

[cant call it]

I like the points system. I know you already know this but you can't tell the negative numbers in the list but I am sure everyone knows what they mean.
example
fumble lost -2
FG missed -3, -2
Int thrown -2
etc.

BTW I have not played with fractional points, i guess if 12 yard carry gets you 1 point then a 6 yard carry gets you .5 am I right?
thx

oops. yeah the copy and paste from yahoo didn't come over too clear. but yeah things like what CCI said ARE negative points.

and as far as fractional yeah it just adds up. that way every yard is worth something. which sometimes can make a difference
