I'm looking for feedback on a new style of dynasty league I've created called an Empire League. There's no online community of users whose opinions I value more that these at FBG. I'm not pandering. It's just fact.
Here's the short version of the Empire League
Every league ends, eventually. It could be due to dispute, disinterest, or a freak dirigible accident. Instead of waiting for the inevitable, why not prescribe the end of your dynasty league by crowning an ultimate winner?
Each year, half the league entry fee goes toward paying that year's winner. The other half goes toward a rolling pot (I call it the Emperor Pot), that pays out when someone wins in back-to-back years.
In a 12-team league with a $150 entry fee, a winner in years 5 & 6 would cash out $5400.
And then, the league ends.
You could certainly re-start the Empire League with new rosters at that point. Or don't.
That's the gist of it.
Here's the long version...

...and the follow-up FAQ, which addresses unique Empire League issues
