League Settings: 12 teams, 3 Divisions. Division Winners + 1 Wildcard make the playoffs. Standard PPR with the exception of the Shining Path rule of no kickers. If you draft a kicker, you will be mocked.

1QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 WR/RB/TE, 1 DST - 14 roster slots, 2 IR

4 Pts Pass TD, -1 Int, 25 yards per point.
6 Pts Rush/Rec TD, 10 yards per point, 1 PPR, -2 Pts per fumble
6 Pts Return TD, 2 Pts for 2 point conversions

DST standard scoring

If we end up with a significant delay from anyone in the draft, I propose that we use the official @Joe Bryant Footballguys PPR Flex rankings to give them the top available starter slot they have open or bench player (excluding DST).

I will have Yahoo randomize the draft order. As per usual, we will do a slow draft on the board. People have been good the last few years of notifying those around them, including some texting of info.

We are shooting to start by Wednesday at 8AM Eastern unless everyone checks in and wants to start earlier.

Thanks all, looking forward to it!

 

[bro1ncos]

Welcome back!!

 

[kupcho1]

We are shooting to start by Wednesday at 8AM Eastern unless everyone checks in and wants to start earlier.

As soon as the random draft order shows me as the #1 pick, I'm ready to go.

Well, I don't know if they changed it but I can't find the stupid randomize draft order without keepers being in effect.

@kupcho1 Would you send me the 12 teams in our league (listed in post 1) in any order you want. I'll then get someone else to send me the numbers 1 - 12 randomized in any order, and then match the 2 lists up.

Divisions will be based on draft order. Teams 1, 12, 6, and 7 will be in Division 1 (wikkidpissah). Teams 2, 5, 8, and 11 will be in Division 2 (randall146). Teams 3, 4, 9, and 10 will be in Division 3 (Man of Constant Sorrow).

 

[bro1ncos]

Random 12

6, 2, 8, 1, 12, 9, 4, 10, 5, 3, 11, 7

 

[Truebluey]

Just to be clear, this league is non-ppr, right? I like it, since most of mine are ppr.

 

[Keerock]

This league has always been PPR

@Ilov80s used random.org

Actually, it's ppk (points per kick)

@Ilov80s used random.org

I'll use random.org if you like, just wanted 2 parties (not me) involved with it. One who randomizes the order of the teams, then the other just randomizing the numbers of the draft slot so they have no idea which team will end up in the slot. I would have the PMs sent from the people as proof.

I can take a screenshot of the random.org results if people like but I guess there's no way for me to prove that I didn't randomize it 10 times until I liked the result

In post 3 it has all the settings, including PPR.

Here were the results.

[Corporation]

We'll go with that order unless everyone wants to use the other methodology that I recommended. I did take a before and after screenshot that has a timestamp on there, but I imagine it would not take long to randomize and doesn't really prove I didn't do it 10 times. Updating the website now.

 

[Corporation]

Sorry, nevermind on that draft order. I couldn't randomize the draft because I had selected offline draft. I put an arbitrary draft date out there (ignore that) and now it gives the randomize draft button. I think it will show up in the transactions that I hit randomize only 1 time. I'm going to do that after we post. Note: I already put teams in divisions based on what I thought the draft order was. I don't think that really matters so will leave the teams in those divisions. About to randomize via Yahoo and will post the results here.

Round 1

[/th]

It does show up in the Commish updates that I generated a random order, so we will roll with these. I'm updating posts 4 and 5 with the draft order for the rounds. @bro1ncos you can kick us off if you like, the "clock" won't start until 8AM Wednesday morning however so please don't harass people.

 

[bro1ncos]

Says draft isn't scheduled until Sept 4

 

[Corporation]

Says draft isn't scheduled until Sept 4

Yep, in post 19 I said I put an arbitrary draft time in there and to ignore that. I had to pick a date so it would give me the official Yahoo random button.

Official draft is like always with our board draft. Starts tomorrow at 8AM EDT unless people want to start now (which is fine but please don't harass someone until tomorrow morning since they may not be aware that there is a slight early start).

 

[bro1ncos]

Sorry. Forgot it was board draft. Will pick when I get home.

 

[bro1ncos]

1.01 Ja'Marr Chase

@WVU Alum OTC

DM sent too

 

[rockaction]

Oh, snap. You just got going. Nice pick. It's "Ja'Marr." How do I know that? Why do I care (I don't). Why should you know? Well, I know it because I get to look at his name every time I look at my Zealots roster and he has totally transformed the orphan I picked up into a respectable team. So when you look at that for three years, you smile and correct spelling every so often.

1.01 Ja'Marr Chase

@WVU Alum OTC

DM sent too

Thanks for DMing the next person and @ ing them. If everyone doesn't mind, please also do this.

@WVU Alum You are up as Mile High mentioned! But you can also wait until the official start time tomorrow morning, your choice.

 

[Truebluey]

Just to be clear, this league is non-ppr, right? I like it, since most of mine are ppr.

This league has always been PPR

That's what I thought. But then I looked at the scoring and didn't initially see it. Thx!

Man, he went fifth in Summerpalooza. Peeps are really scared about this 370 touches thing, huh?

Anyway, good luck and draft well guys. Hope you all have good years and Keerock returns your lunch money with interest when he’s done with you.

I kid, Keerock. (You’re never returning their lunch money.)
