Lets hope us IDP'ers can make a statement....Dynasty IDP with the early lead!
I'll be surprised if Dynasty IDP isn't the majority here.Lets hope us IDP'ers can make a statement....
I know. My statement was meant tongue in cheek with a little bit of hope. I realize IDP is somewhat a nitch in the grand scheme of things but I wish the coverage was better. It has diminished in quality over the last couple of years.I'll be surprised if Dynasty IDP isn't the majority here.
This really isn't about trying to rally support or statements. I'm mostly just interested in what folks here are interested in.
I could definitely see this - it's probably true for me.My most important league is my work league, because beating people I see daily is vastly more important to me than beating people I see once or twice (or never) per year, even though I am in leagues that have 10x more money invested. I would guess most work leagues are a fairly common format/snake/redraft.
Yep. Going to need to bump this in August when (if?) football really starts to ramp up.Until training camp starts, this forum will skew towards dynasty players.
That's an interesting opinion. Not sure I agree there. For sure Dynasty players are engaged more year round. But it's almost July 4. Lots and lots of Redraft players start paying attention about now.Until training camp starts, this forum will skew towards dynasty players.
Oh, I’m not saying that the majority of users are interested in dynasty, just that it’s a higher percentage than it will be a month from now when people are actively prepping for their drafts.That's an interesting opinion. Not sure I agree there. For sure Dynasty players are engaged more year round. But it's almost July 4. Lots and lots of Redraft players start paying attention about now.
Attention could be lower just because people are not gathering as much in person to discuss things which could include fantasy football, as well as no confirmation the season will even be played. Normally July is when FF season starts, but this year is anything but normal.That's an interesting opinion. Not sure I agree there. For sure Dynasty players are engaged more year round.

It's interesting for sure. And no truer words have been written lately than "this year is anything but normal." It'll be fascinating to see how it goes. In some ways, interest is higher. Tons of people watched Tom Brady and Peyton Manning play golf with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. So in some ways, interest is higher. But in other ways, sports and hobbies can be squeezed out when much more important things come up. Not sure how it'll work out. We'll see.Attention could be lower just because people are not gathering as much in person to discuss things which could include fantasy football, as well as no confirmation the season will even be played.

I have no data to say if it is actually lower, but I could foresee it for the reasons above.
Speaking of new Dynasty Podcasts, our Chad Parsons and Jordan McNamara are crushing it with the Footballguys Dynasty Show. Can get it wherever you get podcasts or here on the Audible page. https://subscribers.footballguys.com/podcast/Dynasty has gotten more popular over the past few years, just take a look to see how many different podcasts are available now pertaining to just dynasty then there was only a few years ago.
I think it was called footballguys.net or something and maybe had another name before that? Joe?How long has the SP been around? I started posting in 2003, but lurked for a while before that. I had the impression it was pretty new at the time.
I would speculate that the reason it hasn't caught on is that so many FF players are casual - they are doing it to stay connected with friends, co-workers, etc., and an auction requires a different level of dedication to preparation and a lot more work on auction night - you can't just cross off names then pick the highest one on your list when it is your turn, you have to actively engage the whole time and, gasp, do math.I can't believe Auction drafting is still so uncommon.
Best idea in the history of FF. Best thing we ever did.
People don't know what they are missing.
Agreed for sure.I would speculate that the reason it hasn't caught on is that so many FF players are casual - they are doing it to stay connected with friends, co-workers, etc., and an auction requires a different level of dedication to preparation and a lot more work on auction night - you can't just cross off names then pick the highest one on your list when it is your turn, you have to actively engage the whole time and, gasp, do math.
I think it is similar to why using bidding for free agents still hasn't completely taken over, though it is definitely increasing in popularity. It's another time where a casual user needs to think.
The more times an owner needs to "think", the more disadvantageous to a casual owner and the more likely the will lose interest.
i play in more auctions than regular but i consider 2 of my regular drafts most important. most fun = auction draftsmatuski said:I can't believe Auction drafting is still so uncommon.

Most of my new leagues have been auction. But the question is "which is your most important?" That has to be my 18 year dynasty. That was regular draft, as are the rookie drafts.matuski said:I can't believe Auction drafting is still so uncommon.

I stopped doing multiple leagues several years ago. I can't remember if my only remaining league started in 95 or 96.Most of my new leagues have been auction. But the question is "which is your most important?" That has to be my 18 year dynasty. That was regular draft, as are the rookie drafts.
Redraft I presume.I stopped doing multiple leagues several years ago. I can't remember if my only remaining league started in 95 or 96.
We switched to auction around 2012/13. Aside from it just being flat out more fun and "fair" on draft day... it seems to force the perrenial bottom feeders to prepare more, making the league more competitive.
How long have I been a part of the forum? Too long
how often do I check the forum? Too much
Been playing IDP/Dynasty IDP since the mid 90's. Tried non IDP once one year and did not like it even though I won. Never again.I know. My statement was meant tongue in cheek with a little bit of hope. I realize IDP is somewhat a nitch in the grand scheme of things but I wish the coverage was better. It has diminished in quality over the last couple of years.
Not really. I'm specifically asking about the summer. That's why the question was phrased that way. Trying to make a year round statement based on asking in the summer or spring would be different.Asking in the summer does sort of skew things. Voted.
