We're starting a English Premier League style Dynasty startup. The first year, every team will be at the same level. Subsequent years, the league will be split into 16 team tiers with the Premier League at the top. At the end of every subsequent year, the top four teams in every tier will be promoted to the tier above and the bottom four teams will be relegated to the tier below.
We need at least 32 teams to start so in Year 2, we'll have two tiers. That said, we'll plan on drafting in late July/Early August so if we get to 32 before that, we'll try to reach for 48. If there's enough interest, we could even try to go for 64. There will be 1 copy of every player for each 16 teams. So 32 teams = 2 copies, 48 teams = 3 copies, etc. Each team can only hold 1 copy of a player.
Every offseason, we can add another 16 team tier. they will hold their very own draft of 1 copy of every player, rookies and veterans, and they will become the bottom tier. We'll continue adding tiers until either we get to the 96 team MFL limit or the Commish Committee decides the league is big enough.
The entire league will be one large MFL League. When the league is split into tiers, the tiers will be different conferences that won't play each other. That said, trading between the tiers will be allowed. Draft pick trading will also be allowed. The Rookie draft order will be set up to promote vertical mobility. The lowest tier will get the first 16 draft picks. The Premier League will get the last 16 draft picks.
The league will be PPR and TE Premium. We're still tweaking the scoring system to increase scoring for RB, WR and TE to counteract the Superflex.
Offensive starters will be:
(1) QB
(2) RB
(3) WR
(1) TE
(1) RB/WR/TE Flex
(1) QB/RB/WR/TE Flex
All the current members of the league have played in full IDP leagues so we're all open to making this a full IDP league (1 DT, 2 DE, 3 LB, 2 CB, 2 S and 1 D Flex). That said, filling the league is the most important thing and some people aren't eager to be in a full IDP league. So if you let me know that you're interested, please tell me your thoughts on IDP and whether it's a deal breaker either way.
The League will be $50 buy-in, LeagueSafe. Everyone will pay the first two years when they join. We're still tweaking the payout structure, but obviously, the bigger this whole thing gets, the more enjoyable it will be for the ultimate winner every year. We're also working on paying out the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in every tier. Once the league gets large enough, we'll pay everyone who's in the Premier League at the end of the season $50 as an incentive to stay on top.
Obviously, we're looking for people who are in it for the long haul. If we get all the way to 6 tiers and you get relegated a couple times, it will take several years to potentially get to the Premier League.

We've also started putting together the Constitution. It's a work-in-progress, but you can check it out here:
