Summerpalooza VIII: Music + Fantasy Football DRAFT ORDER AND RULES SET, STARTS MONDAY (4 Viewers)

[Ilov80s]

Got a barn burner of a poll so far.

Yeah once we get the final number actually finished, I am just going to do the roster and scoring semi normal and leave it. I don't think people really care all that much about what it is lol.

Just liking this for the effort. I hope it's not too much like herding cats. I'm in. For sure. Unless we need evens.

We can see if @Dr. Octopus wants back in to even us back up. If not, I believe we have a reserve who was interested.

Might need to give him a few days. I think the top 350 album countdown is causing him to have a nervous breakdown.

Yep, no rush. I get it, it's been a ton of work for him

Since I was the last add, if you need me to go back on the waiting list to get an even number that’s ok.

Can I wait to vote until I see how many teams we have?

I'd prefer Superflex line-up with deflated QB scoring if we were 14 teams and the "normal" lineup/scoring configuration if we were 16 teams.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Seriously, I was trying to cut back on FF this year. I've got a trip, an appointment, and a draft on April 18th.

April 18th? You really do plan ahead, don't you?

Hey Doc. You ran a great countdown and I can assure you nobody cares too much. I don’t care a whit.

I’m in if it doesn’t displace anybody. If it does, let me know.

Seriously, I was trying to cut back on FF this year. I've got a trip, an appointment, and a draft on April 18th.

April 18th? You really do plan ahead, don't you?

Trip is 14-17th. I go see why my eye is blurry on the 18th and I didn’t know but a rookie dynasty draft starts on the 18th also. It’s in our constitution that the draft is 17 days before the first game of the regular season, so I got confused.

Oh snap. I thought she was talking about my piss poor planning and she was right to do so.

I totally missed the April part.

I was totally impressed that you were planning for an April draft already. And I thought I was hardcore.

Sure no problem waiting. I think no matter what I’ll make it a single SF spot in place of a single QB spot just to make sure people have an emergency option just in case.

[kupcho1]

Start date?

 

[Ilov80s]

Start date?

We will do a slow start on Monday the 18th. I think we have 1 or 2 people coming back from vacation there so start Monday and hopefully hit full gear Tuesday.

 

[Ilov80s]

So back to 16 with @Dr. Octopus and @rockaction in. I think we are final with that.

 

[Ilov80s]

And the vote is 4-4 on how to set it up lol

 

[Pip's Invitation]

And the vote is 4-4 on how to set it up lol

I voted now that we have an answer on # of teams.

 

[Doug B]

I'd prefer Superflex line-up with deflated QB scoring if we were 14 teams and the "normal" lineup/scoring configuration if we were 16 teams.

This. My take as well.

 

[rockaction]

I also voted. I think sixteen and superflex is too unwieldy, but it is not a deal breaker either way. I will be traveling on the 18th (I found out) but it's only an hour and thirty in the air so if I come up in the order I'll either be on Wi-Fi or I'll pick right when I touch down on land. I can also leave a pick with somebody once I know the order and rules. I did not know we were flying Monday. I assumed Sunday. But I can easily PM somebody a pick once it gets close enough.

I'm going to the land of Eephus, but he's traveling somewhere else so I won't bump into him at the Giants games we're going to. Have a good trip to the "fatherland," Eephus. I'm not sure where that is, but I hope it's a good trip and you got to listen to Pyromania.

 

[kupcho1]

I can also leave a pick with somebody once I know the order and rules.

You can leave a pick with me, but only send me the song. I'll do my best to choose a player based on what you send to me.

 

[rockaction]

You can leave a pick with me, but only send me the song. I'll do my best to choose a player based on what you send to me.

Just don't pick a guy who's about to get arrested the following week and we'll be set.

It started here. Note my objection. Heh.

Post in thread 'Summerpalooza: Now at QB for the Buffalo Bills...Goo Goo Dolls'

Aug 14, 2018

Well give kupcho1 the night to pick, if he doesn't, we'll move on tomorrow and kup can make his first pick when he arrives and keep his draft position for all following picks.

Ok seems like we are settled at 16 and close on the rules still.

Later today I will run the simulator to get draft slots.

Did we settle on 1 QB or Superflex?

Unless we get a bunch of new votes the other way, it looks like normal 1QB league with normal PPR will win.

 

[Yo Mama]

Do we make a combined playlist with our songs? Individual playlists?

Do people tend to do themes with their songs?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Do people tend to do themes with their songs?

I usually make my own playlist - that no one is likely interested in.

Some people theme it up (i.e. Eephus did all jazz songs and I did all jam bands last year) but you can do it any way you like.

 

[Ilov80s]

We have a final format

Normal Option
1 point per 25 passing
1 point per 10 yards rushing or receiving
1 point per reception
6 points for all TDs
- 2 points for turnovers


1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), TE, K, D
5 bench spots and 1 IR

This should keep the waiver wire open and active, prevent anyone from hoarding a position to block others.

16 teams, there will be a long time between picks most days I'd guess.

Wow, first pick!? The pressure will be on! Haven't picked first since I took Shaun Alexander in 2006 - the year he went from 1800 rushing yards to 800.

Good luck! I had first pick last year and came in close to last. First 3 picks were CMC, Kupp and I think Montgomery. Worst season for injury I ever had

I will get Yahoo set by Monday. I'll probably have to reach out to some people in the next day or two for emails etc .. and I'll look and see if there is a co-commish set there.

Wow, first pick!? The pressure will be on! Haven't picked first since I took Shaun Alexander in 2006 - the year he went from 1800 rushing yards to 800.

My first year ever playing fantasy football was 1998 and I was immediately in a dynasty league. I didn't really know what I was doing but somehow I had a young stud RB I could build my team around for years (and in 98, that was everything)..

It was Robert Edwards :(

I was reminded of that because same league a couple years later I had Shaun Alexander and then all of Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Az-Zahir Hakim.

I won the league going away a couple years in a row and then unsuccessfully tried to build similar stacks for many years following with almost no success.

Stacks like that are so fun. I had Cunningham and Moss one year and won in a canter (98?), and in 2014 enjoyed a Championship season in my home league with Manning, DT, and Emmanuel Sanders (and for gravy, picked up OBJ off waivers midseason).

Good luck! I had first pick last year and came in close to last. First 3 picks were CMC, Kupp and I think Montgomery. Worst season for injury I ever had

The thing about 16-team leagues is that you basically need your first three picks to not get hurt or bust in order to win.

Do we make a combined playlist with our songs? Individual playlists?

Do people tend to do themes with their songs?

I usually make my own playlist - that no one is likely interested in.

Some people theme it up (i.e. Eephus did all jazz songs and I did all jam bands last year) but you can do it any way you like.

I did the Olympics as my theme last year. I haven't yet decided on this year's.

@Ilov80s Is there any defensive scoring? Turnovers, sacks, points allowed per game? Length of kick? Also are there bonuses for over 100 yards rushing or passing or anything of that sort?

I’m not paying for footballguys (sorry Joe) but still use their rankings, which cut off after 15 players for nonpaying customers. That should get me through a 16-team draft, right?

Should be some membership benefits considering all the time we spend here.

Seriously. I consider myself a content creator around here.

I actually paid here for 20ish years when I was a more serious FF player. I quit a while back and now my only FF is a family league where I have a nephew who drafts QB/QB 1/2 every year (not a super flex/2QB league) and a niece who tries to draft players with her name whether they are good or not. Don’t need paid rankings for that one.

Your niece isn't named "Amon-Ra"?
