------------------------------------------------------

"Ultimate Survivor" will consist of 12 different 12-team leagues to start (144 players). Leg 1 Drafts/Auctions will take place from Sunday, July 20th through Saturday, August 2nd.

These twelve leagues will all compete for the first five weeks of the NFL season. At the end of those five weeks, the top 4 teams in each league will advance to round two of the competition.

Between weeks 5 and 6 of the NFL season, the 48 people advancing will compete in 4 new 12-team leagues (Leg 2). These leagues will span 5 weeks as well and all be performance/PPR leagues (with different scoring rules though) and will be a Best Ball format. Draft dates/times as well as league rules for leg 2 leagues will be determined at a later time.

Leg 3 (Final 12 people) will draft after week 10 and before week 11. This league will span 6 weeks and will be a PPR league. Draft dates/times as well as league rules will be determined at a later time.

Here's the link to the companion Ultimate IDP Survivor contest thread.

The first two posts contain the brief and long versions of the rules and prizes. Prospective IDP Survivors please note: Should you win an entry in the "other" Survivor contest, you are ineligible for the IDP Survivor contest. (Please see below clarification: Message boarders may enter both contests.

Entry into the IDP Survivor contest will be by self-nomination and staff selection (should we get more than the allotted number of entries). All self-nominations should be posted in the linked thread.

so 2 of the leagues are auction and the rest are drafts?

is there a rhyme or reason as to who gets placed in the auction leagues?

 
Is it possible for any of the drafts to begin before 8:30 in the evening?

Late-night drafts are very difficult for those of us with kids who get up and go to bed early (usually by 10pm ET)

David and I had a miscommunication. There is no restriction to the number of contests you may enter. Message boarders may enter both contests.My apologies.

West Coast bias.I'm not even trying to get in one of the contests because the draft times for all 12 leagues are way too late in the night on the east coast.
 
When I was in a FBG 22-round draft two years ago, it lasted five hours. If that happens again, all of the drafts will be lasting until between 1:30am (at the earliest) to 3:30am, if not later. That's way too late for many of us.

edit: Why not have at least one late afternoon or early evening (ET) draft on a weekend?

Question: Will the winners have a say as to which league they are in? Will their be a "captain" or anything like that?

Once selected for the contest, you can choose whatever league wou would like to be in (first come first serve). The staffers will be slotted into these leagues here in a few days so you can choose based on who you want to play, the rules of that league, or simply because the date/time fits you best. We have structured the contests so that the caption winners (40 people) will get first crack, then the limerick and fake email winners (50 people) and then finally the 30 we choose to round out the field. Hopefully this will result in the majority of the people able to select times/dates that work best for themselves.
 
I would like to be considered for one of the survivor teams. I was on one that AR had last year and went pretty far into it before getting kicked out. Would like to see if I can't go all the way.

Can't wait to see the results on these. I've been staring at these pictures for a few days now... I think I'm finally fresh out of captions. :goodposting:

Why aren't any of the leagues more East coast friendly with the times?

We chose a bunch of times and dates. And now we are filling those times and dates. For some the times and dates won't work. We have done these in the past and found the range of times we have offered to work the best. People generally do not prefer to stay up late on a work night, but they can. If we have the times much earlier, some people will still be working (so they can't do the draft under any circumstances).

That's because in the past, you only did one or two of these at a time, and you usually preselected the players before the time slots. So the late evening (ET) was the only time that you could get all twelve people to be available.Since you're offering a choice of twelve different times, you could have opened up a lot of other options.Back in 2006, I was unhappy with a 9pm ET draft, but I went along with it because there seemed to be no other choice once the drafters were selected. Now there is a choice -- or at least there could have been.

With all due respect, there is still a choice... you could choose not to attempt to get into the leagues.
 
David,

How will the selectees be notified? Will their names be posted in this thread? Will there be separate threads so that selectees can see how many openings remain in the various leagues?

Thanks for the opportunity! I am definitely hoping to be a participant and looking forward to these leagues.

 
Hey David and other staff,

I won one of the spots from the "Caption the photo #3" contest. If not full and we are able to pick, my schedule would work best for League #7... Sunday, July 27th, 10:30 pm eastern. That would be option 1... option 2 would be League #6 which the draft is on Saturday July 26th. A third option would also be League #9.

If any of these can be granted... great... if not we have time to figure it out.

Challenge Everything

Hey CE, I think they wanted the preferences posted in the judging thread which is here: Judging ThreadCongrats

-QG

 
If I can get into league 7 that would be much prefered. I don't know how we are deciding.

7

10 would be my second option but 7 would be perfect of the above dates/times.

Do we have any details on what Leg 2 will look like? If I were fortunate enough to make it, the draft schedules would be my first concern (next week is not looking good right now).

We have 1 guy in ours (league 7) that has clinched round 2 (Clayton Gray).

Going through the leagues, it looks like Team Legacy in League 1, Jene Bramel in League 4, and buck naked in League 12 have clinched as well...The total points leagues are tough to determine, but I think Marc Faletti has clinched in League 8Twilight in league 9 needs only be 1-10 week 5 to stay in...I need to finish at least 6-5 this week to make it after my disastrous week 4.
