New 12 team Dynasty League *FREE* (PPR, no IDP) (1 Viewer)

[h24dog]

Hello all, I realize that since I am a new member here, this may look a little sketchy. However, I am an experienced dynasty player and am looking to take part in a competitive dynasty league.

I created this league, Play For It All, recently. My plan is to have the draft on MFL as a free draft-only league. I plan on starting it Friday, May 19th at 12pm ET. After the draft is complete, I plan on importing all of the league information to NFL.com.

Quick League Overview:

This is a PPR league (it is currently set at 1 point per reception, but am willing to bump it down to 0.5 if there is enough interest). The remainder of the league settings are normal, and there are no bonuses for certain statistical performances. There are also 4 divisions and 2 conferences. You will play the two teams in your division twice, as well as all of the other teams one time). Divisions will be determined either by the owners time zones (if we have three owners who live on the west coast, I will try to put them in one division), or we can do it randomly. After 13 regular season games, the four division winners are guaranteed a playoff spot, and the 5 and 6 seeds go to the best "wild card" team in the conference.

Tie Breaker Settings;

1.) Head-to-Head Record
2.) Team Points For
3.) Team Record against opponents within own division of conference
4.) Team Record against opponents in other division of conference
5.) Team Points Against


League Roster Settings:

-32 roster spots
-3 IR spots,
-0 taxi squad spots (for now)

**It is possible that during the offseason, rosters will expand to 40 players due to player retirements/cuts/etc.**

1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 RB/WR
1 WR/TE
1 K
1 DEF/ST

There are also no position minimum requirements, but you obviously need someone to start every week.


League Draft:

The draft is scheduled to start on Friday, May 19th and will be conducted on the free MFL draft-only site. The order will be determined at random and released following the actual NFL draft or after the 12th team is added. This means that if you join, the order that appears is NOT the order that we will go necessarily with. It will also be in serpentine order (snaking).

After the order is released, all picks will be open for trade, as well as drafted players and picks after the draft begins. Each team will also be given their following three years of rookie picks, with 3 picks going for each year. A trade cannot be completed without one team reporting it and the other team(s) "confirming" it.


Other League Notes:

-Waivers start on Tuesday at midnight following MNF, and will be completed on Thursday at midnight.
-Each team will have a budget of 50 points to use on the waiver wire for the season. This will encourage 'bidding' on players available, with the highest bidder being awarded that player. This budget will not reset, so it is important that you use your points wisely.
-In any case on league collusion, the owner will be subject to punishment by the league commissioner. The commissioner will either hand down the punishment himself, or put it to a vote amongst the other 11 league owners.


This is NOT the final set of rules for the league. Other minor settings will be determined once the league owners have largely taken shape.


If you have any interest in joining this league, please respond to this discussion. I will be happy to clarify any questions you have.

I am interested in this league if it becomes an auction draft. Not so interested in snake as that takes a bit of the skill out of it. It's your league so it's your call but you mentioned being flexible on the PPR points awarded so I thought I would throw this out there to see if you are flexible on this too.  

Have played fantasy for 8-10 years and the past 3 years have only participated in auction draft startups or taking over a couple of orphans in IDP dynasty leagues. Typically run 10-12 teams though last year I went overboard and had 30. Cutting back this year as I seem to be finding more competitive leagues to join so trading volume for quality hopefully.

I am definitely interested if you make a move away from a snake draft.

I am going to keep it with a snaking order, but I still think you  should consider. It does take a decent amount of skill regardless of the league drafting type since there are so many rounds. And even though the draft might not be like an auction, the waiver wire will be set up with bids for the best players available.

And if you think you're skilled enough with an auction, a regular draft shouldn't be as hard for you. It may be time consuming but it'll be worth it, regardless of how the initial league draft is set up.

Your choice.

Thanks. You are right a snake is not hard - in fact it is too easy but has definite drawbacks. There is enough data out there and I've experienced it myself that the luck of the draw - what order you pick in a snake puts teams with certain draft order at a disadvantage. Also impossible to do a tier strategy - avoid the first tier and have money to load up on second tier or pay top dollar to get two top tier and then have to go budget for others - not possible in  snake. Having done auctions I will stick with those, but good luck. Hope you fill your league with some good owners. 

For our snake you might consider a 3RR. It goes 1 -12, 12 - 1, 12 -1, 1 - 12, 12 - 1, 1 - 12, 12 - 1... it seems to level the playing field a little bit.

Anyway - good luck
