The Playball Fantasy Football League, on MFL, is looking for 2 owners.
(league Addy at the bottom of this post)
I have been in fantasy sports for over 30 years, starting with fantasy baseball
and adding football a few years later. After the 1st major league baseball strike I
concentrated solely on football, no longer wanting anything to do with baseball!
No, I did not have to do stats by hand, but, at that time, commissioners did have
to d/l the stats from USA Today or Stats, inc., buy their own software to crunch
the numbers and update the teams and create their own website to upload it to.
Over 30 years a commish runs into a lot of situations that require a rule, so yes,
PLAYBALL has a lot of rules and they are enforced fairly for every team, no exceptions.
The teams;
OPEN TEAM 1-EAST DIV.- currently has 10 players on the roster, some of which a new owner
may want to keep, but that is entirely up to the new owner.
OPEN TEAM 2--WEST DIV.--Has 11 players currently, I consider it a better team than 1 due to
more possible/probable carries. Our owners generally use points scored in the previous year
and/salary IF carried and the draft pick the player will take in this years draft. Those
parameters are already set up in the current roster.
FYI-one of our current owners say he has a relative interested in taking the team. I notified
the prospective new owner over 24 hours ago and they have yet to reply to the email.
they said they wanted team 2, due to their lack of response I don't feel it is fair to the
league to hold off on posting this. So, that in mind, it is 1st come 1st served as to who gets
OPEN 2. I WILL notify them again after posting this.
I am looking for good owners, ie, those that will manage their teams properly to remain
competitive in the league in order to give them a chance to make the playoffs and hope-
fully advance deep into same. If you have to many pots in the fire, are trying to manage
numerous teams and don't have the time to keep up with free agents, etc., PLAYBALL is not
going to be the league for you. If you reach the mid-point of the season with a terrible
record, and think this is a lost cause, and are the type to just give up, quit managing
your team properly, then do me and the league a favor, keep browsing the leagues looking,
because PLAYBALL "DOES NOT WANT YOU!!"
The league is termed a Dynasty Hybrid due to the fact that every owners
1st 3 draft picks go back into the following years draft. This assures that
there are at least studs available, along with all the promising rookies
and other players not carried by their owners.
The league fee is $50, collected, and prizes paid out, through
LEAGUESAFE. All Fees, minus the MFL site fee, goes into the
prize pool. No additional charges for fa, etc. and no cut for the
commish(unless he wins, of course, which he didn't do last year :-(,
or any of the years since 2002 when the league moved to MFL. Although
I often make the play-offs and have finished 2nd or 3rd several times. One
thing I never do, no matter how my team is doing, is throw in the towel.
That is the kind of owners I am looking for.
The site fee is already paid for the 2025 season and LEAGUESAFE
is already set-up with most of our current owners already having paid their
2025 league fee.
Rosters are 25 players, at any position, as long an owner has a valid,
legal starting line-up at the end of the draft.
Starting line-up is: 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1te, 1pk and 1 def/st.(Now you're probably
thinking "old man league," but this old man started his league with a 25 player draft
and roster and as ppr. and added a 2 round rookie auction draft in 2024 with
the thought of going all auction, but that would be years down the road.)
12 teams playing head to head games, 3 divisions, 3 division winners and 3
wildcards make the play-offs. 14 week regular season with each team playing
it's division foes twice and all other teams in the league once.
Play-offs last 3 weeks and we don't use week 18 of the NFL schedule.
1 point for each 20 rushing/receiving yards, 1 point for each 50 passing
yards.
All td scoring is based on length of score, same for field goals.
Prizes;
Regular season champion-$50
High game score for regular season-$25
Play-off prizes;
1st place--60% of remaining prize pool
2nd place-25% of remaining prize pool
3rd place-10% of remaining prize pool
4th place---5% of remaining prize pool
Our big winner last year, Jazz, took the title and the regular season
high game score and won $311.03.
All rosters shown on the site already have their players bumped up 3 rounds the
draft and their salaries increased by 20% for the 2025 draft. Owners may choose to
carry any/all/or none of the players on their current roster.
Our player cut-down date was set for 9pm ET on Sat. July 10th but some wiggle
room if necessary for a late joining owner. LIVE AUCTION AND REGULAR DRAFT
ON MFL.)
.
This will be the 2ND year PLAYBALL has a rookie auction/draft, with rookies
won in the draft slotted into an owners 25th & 24th round draft slot. After the initial
year rookies will move up like our regular draft picks, 3 rounds each year at a 20% increase
in salary, freeing up the 24th and 25th round draft slots for the following years draft.
