Fantasy Football Drafts... Serpentine = Luck (1 Viewer)

[stp-d]

I agree that the auction style requires a little more skill than serpentine.But if really want to reduce luck, stop wasting your time with head-to-head and go for total points.

I find a much more palatable compromise for many is to just go with double or even triple-headers. The results are much closer to the rankings you'd get from total points without needing to lose the aspects people like about having individual games.

Actually I like the format that some leagues like Rotobowl use - H2H and a Top 6 / Bottom 6 Win/Loss.You play a H2H each week and the Top 6 scores each week get a WIN, and the bottom 6 get a LOSS.You can go 2-0, 1-1 or 0-2 each week.

I find the Rotobowl system or victory pts to be the best determinate. It's funny how the topic changed a bit, but these issues are so closely related to removing luck, its funny they come up everytime we discuss it.

I have a league that still uses single H2H games that every time I try to get to go to a double-header, we fail by 1 vote. I may try that one this time.Does MFL have a way to support it?

Yup, you should be able to change it up however you prefer, i know victory ppts works

I know RTSports supports double or triple headers and you can create your own schedule anyway you want. I have been very impressed with them as every year they keep adding a few features. This year they have added a bid/auction to the waiver wire system that is very flexible. They already had a good draft feature, but they do not support auction on the draft as of yet.BTW, one feature that I have added to my leagues (which is not handled through a site) is to allow people to submit backups for their positions and if the player does not play, the backup gets inserted. This stops from having to watch the news minutes before the game and also for a warm up injury really impacting a game. I think this is a great rule that stops the annoying listening for last minute news that may or may not be right. Not that everything is like real football, but it is kind of silly that you play a guy who sits rather than the guy who is healthy...I highly recommend this

What would be great would be if the sites could give something for 1st down receptions!

I like this idea too...

Sorry Jeff, I had not seen your article...

No problem. I'll likely update / refresh it again for this year.I'm just a fan of working on contrarian scoring systems that are emblematic of real football values.
