The Ultimate IDP Survivor Contest

Want to prove your IDP chops? Want to see how you stack up against your FBG IDP Forum colleagues, the most informed and active community in the industry? Want a chance to kick a little FBG IDP staff tail? Just in it for the glory and prizes?

Here’s your chance.

I’ll post the full rule set, scoring systems, prize information, etc in the post to follow, but here are the highlights:

Once again this year, many of our brightest message board posters will be invited to face-off against our primary FBG IDP staff contributors. Depending on interest, we may have 3-5 12 team leagues. Over the first eight weeks of the NFL season, each league will compete in all-play format, with the cream of the crop (numbers TBD) advancing to the final leg. The surviving teams (number TBD) from each of those leagues will redraft an expanded IDP only roster and compete over the next eight weeks of the NFL season. Only one will survive to be crowned the Ultimate IDP Survivor.

In addition to the bragging rights of making it to the final league, David will be graciously offering prizes (also TBD):

If you’re interested, here’s what we need:

**A post in this thread self-nominating yourself.

**A commitment that you’ll make a dedicated effort to draft promptly should you be selected for one of the Leg 1 leagues and be reasonably certain that you’ll be available for the Leg 2 draft between Weeks 8 and 9 of the NFL season.

**A ranking of preferences for your Leg 1 scoring system (tackle heavy, balanced, big play heavy IDP scoring, all offensive scoring will be the same)

That’s it.

We'll do random draws if we have a surplus of interested message boarders as we did last season and slot folks into leagues sometime next week.

Who’s interested?

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

 
:construction:

(Please note: This post may be a work in progress. Depending on the level of interest, the number of message board teams may change, which will alter the mechanics of the league(s). See the end of this post for all clarifications.)

48 contestants (9 staff IDP contributors//39 message boarders)

Leg 1

Four 12 team leagues drafting individual offensive and defensive players

Each league will have 2-3 staff members. There will be at least one league with tackle heavy, big play heavy and balanced scoring systems. Depending on interest, there may be more than one league of the IDP scoring systems above.

**Offensive scoring will include PPR. Defensive scoring will vary by league. Available IDP scoring systems are listed below. All offensive lineups will be QB/2RB/3WR/TE/PK with a single RB/WR/TE flex to total nine offensive starters. All defensive lineups will be 2DE/DT/3LB/2CB/2S with a single DL/LB/DB flex to total 11 defensive starters. All owners will draft 40 players during a slow MFL draft to begin TBD. Initial draft order will be generated randomly. There will be no positional restrictions during the draft.

**Owners will not submit lineups. The best available lineup will be scored from your entire roster of players.

**This season's contest will be an all-play contest. Each team will play every other team each week. Total wins and losses will be added up over the eight week "season". The number of advancing teams from each league will be determined after the number of leagues has been determined. Teams with the best all-play records from each league will advance to the final leg. Tiebreaker will be total points scored if necessary.

Leg 2

**A single 12 team league drafting individual defensive players only consisting of the top three scoring teams from each of the four original Leg 1 leagues. Draft slots will be awarded according to performance in the Leg 1 leagues. The top scoring team in each Leg 1 league will draft in the top draft slots, with the exact order to be determined randomly. Random draws will take place for each "bucket" of the next highest scoring team from each league.

**Defensive scoring will be balanced IDP scoring. Scoring system will be sent to all potential league participants well in advance. All defensive lineups will be 2DE/DT/3LB/2CB/2S with a single DE/LB/DB flex to total 11 defensive starters. All owners will draft 26 players (no positional restrictions) by slow MFL draft to begin on Tuesday morning following Week 8 of the NFL season. Should the draft not be complete by Saturday noon ET of that week, all owners will be expected to be available to finish the draft in a live draft room (TBD) at noon ET Saturday.

**Should a Leg 2 owner be unable to draft and need to be replaced, a random dice roll among the highest remaining scorer in each of the three Leg 1 leagues will determine the first replacement owner. Potential replacement owners will be notified in advance.

**Owners will not submit lineups. The best available lineup will be scored from your entire roster of players.

**This season's contest will be an all-play contest. Each team will play every other team each week. Total wins and losses will be added up over the eight week "season". The team with the best all-play record (total points tiebreaker) between Weeks 9 and 16 of the NFL regular season will be declared the champion.

FBG has graciously agreed to put up the following prizes again this year:

1st prize: Lifetime subscription, $300 cash

2nd prize: 3 year subscription, $150 cash

3rd prize: 3 year subscription, $100 cash

4th prize: 3 year subscription, $75 cash

5th - 8th prizes: 1 year subscription

Hi there.

I've been around this site for quite awhile, not a big forum poster though.

I'm one of the managers for www.grutleague.se a swedish based fantasyleague.

We've been running our idp league for 9 yrs now so I think I know my stuff, and I',m ready to kick some US butt. :-).

I'd prefer :

Tackle heavy

Balanced.

I hope I get a team. That would be sweet.

Ps.. Since I'm 6 hrs ahead of you guys, it would be great with an early draft.

 
Please include if possible:

1) TH,

2) Biggest Play, and

3) What ever is left over

In the end analysis, I'll adapt so the scoring systems are equal and I'll fill any league you need filled.

:goodposting:

Beggars can't be choosy so whatever ya got

 
I would definitely be interested in this.

I own IDP locally. Online I've been in Championships, but haven't won it all yet.

Anyway, I haven't posted in the forums for quite some time because I couldn't remember my password for my old ID: Blox (if you guys wanted to know)

So, I signed up today in order to post in here so I would have a shot at playing in these leagues.

I've also been a subscriber to FBG for 4 years now if that helps.

No preference for slot in league, whatever works is fine. I'll adjust accordingly.

This thread has been up for nearly a week now and we're right at 48 entries, with one staff alternate. Everyone who has posted their interest is in. :thumbup:

Competitors should expect an PM shortly requesting an email address for dice rolls and league invites. Please respond ASAP as I'm hoping to get the draft rolling very shortly.

If you're still interested, please post and I'll add you to the alternate list.

We've had a pretty brisk response to the PMs. Once I get the few remaining email addresses, I'll slot the leagues, email the invites and do the draft order dice rolls.With a little luck, I'll open the drafts as soon as tomorrow, but it may not be until Wednesday or Thursday. As soon as we're all accounted for, I'll open a new thread with details, league links and some housekeeping stuff for all.

All PMs have been returned. :unsure:

I'll be slotting leagues, sending MFL invites, doing dice rolls for draft position and opening a new leg 1 league thread tonight.

Drafts will begin tomorrow morning sometime.

Good luck everybody.
