How do people feel about

• QB: 1 point per 25 passing
• RB and WR: 1 point per 10 yards, 1 PPR
• TE: 1 point per 10 yards, 1.5 PPR
• All TDs are 6
• - 2 points for turnovers

This gives a little more balance between mobile QBs and pocket passers.

In sum ... QBs don't get rushing yards in this rule set. No rushing TDs either for QBs? QBs only score via their arm -- is that right?

Good with all that, just want to make sure I understand.

Oh sorry no QBs get the same rushing as everyone else. Let me make that clear.

• All TDs are 6

This gives a little more balance between mobile QBs and pocket passers. It also gives TEs a little boost to be more relevant in this format. Or would people want to maybe even try 2 PPR for TEs to really stretch the depth of the position considering we are going to be a 14-16 team league?

• Line-up
• 1 QB
• 2 RB
• 3 WR
• 1 TE
• 1 Flex
• 1 Def
• 1 K

Is one flex enough or do we want to go with 2? We keeping kicker and defense still? I feel like is always a debate.

Looks fine to me.
I don't have an opinion on kickers either way.
I think 1 flex is enough, and I assume it's RB/WR/TE only?

Yeah just regular flex. No super flex

 

[Eephus]

In to defend the title but will be out of town with doubtful internet from 12-18 Aug

 

[simey]

I'll be gone most of the day on August 23rd, but I can check in (in-person long time league draft, but may be my last season). Also, I will be gone for most of the day on the 28th (going to ECU vs NC State football game in Raleigh. It's a night game. Can check in periodically). I will probably stay another day or two in Raleigh, but can check in from there. I can also dropout if need be. The dice rolls are mean to me anyways.

 

[krista4]

No need to include me if there are enough returning incumbents and/or the number of teams is too high based on past interest.

Same here.

[Raging weasel]

If I'm counting the names in the OP correctly ... we've got eleven returning? @Long Ball Larry , @landrys hat and @The Dreaded Marco are out?

EDIT: @Raging weasel and @krista4 as well? Matheson was in the league last time, but his username seems totally gone.

I'm in

I'm hosting my long time leagues draft that day.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Curious how the kickers are good for the connection. Low numbers? Weird Polish surnames?

What is the scoop? Oh, you know what? I’ll look at last year’s thread.

Just a lot of songs with kick, kicks, kicking, etc. in the title.

Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked

What do you think, 2?

We should be able to make room for everyone. The bigger the better.

There are 17 in so far. I'm gonna sit this season out. It will be good to rest my eye more from the screen anyway while it is still healing. I keep getting headaches, and I think it's because my eyes are not communicating with each other very well right now. I go to get a new prescription in three weeks.

We can go for 24 and do double copies of players with twelve-team conferences, although it might get confusing drafting them. I think we're enterprising and dedicated enough to pull that off with aplomb. I'm also a candidate to sit out if you have any inkling that you'd like to play and see it through. I was planning on spending less time on football this year. I have a lot of stuff going on for the first time in a while. So let me know, simey. I don't want my big butt to butt anyone out.

You aren't butting me out at all, Bertha.

Only if you are sure. I would gladly team up with someone to clear space.

 

[Ilov80s]

We could also make it 18 but just shorten the lineup requirements. I mean it’s for fun so we can do whatever we want that gets the most people involved.

 

[kupcho1]

I think i might have done this year 1. If you need someone, I'm your Huckleberry.

 

[simey]

Only if you are sure.

I'm sure.

 

[rockaction]

We’ve got eighteen then.



Seriously will argue for a double-copy, two conference league. I’ll volunteer to keep track if we are really starting the 18th (I have a trip the 15th-17th).

 

[krista4]

I can't believe this went by without a "that's what she said," but maybe I'm juvenile.

Both can be correct observations.

I ran a 32-team league for years, and I think a poster or two here might have been in it? We just mirrored the actual NFL, including letting each person claim an actual NFL team as part of their team name. Dr. O, I feel like you were adjacent to this but didn't participate? Is that right? It was ages ago.

Sorry, to the point here, it was run like two 16-team leagues. Here could be the same, with two parallel leagues and then an ultimate championship at the end.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. If the parallel leagues are a problem for camaraderie we could do an unbalanced inter-league three games. I mean, this would not be hard if you have someone like me to watch and be vigilant and keep track and throw flags at triple drafters.

It would require people to pay attention but a spreadsheet should do it. It’s the same thing. Just remember that 0 or 1 next to a name means still available but 2 means not available. Not too difficult and I’m willing to watch.

 

[Ilov80s]

The two copy league might be a bit out of my range but I’m willing to learn and figure it out. But that will be tomorrow after the drinks wear off lol.

 

[kupcho1]

It might be the gin talking, but I wouldn't mind being part of this again.

 

[rockaction]

Just two copies of each player available. Two conferences of twelve teams with no interleague play so they don’t overlap, or we don’t care if they do and 11 conference games and 3 interleague ones.

4 teams from each conference make the playoffs based on total records. Total points tiebreaker. Weeks 15 and 16 are respective conference playoffs. Week 17 Super Bowl.

Easy peasy. What’s the drink of choice tonight?

I’ll see if Yahoo or any other free league has twenty-four team settings with two conferences. The problem won’t be the draft. It’ll be the computer part.

 

[rockaction]

Jeez. Before AI rules us I’ve been learning a ****-ton. One of those things is how to set up a 24-team, two-player copy league. Dude, it’s like automating the set up and even has pre-printed Google Sheets for the task. ****ing insane. So, yes, we can do this for free at MFL (for this year only) and it will be more work but not impossible. The draft can go by separate conference or by snake (all twenty-four participate) but we have to make sure each conference only gets one copy of each player, but the pre-created Google sheets will help us with that.

AI is going to make this possible, so think about it and let’s not refuse anybody yet, I guess. That’s my suggestion. I can set it up further if you want me to, Ilov. Just to make sure it’s feasible (it is).

The more teams, the less chance I have of drafting Anthony Richardson again

I’m not sure - I was in a dynasty league (Magnificent 7 and 5 other Dudes) with you for one season, then you left, a long time ago.

This sounds vaguely familiar but can’t quite put my finger on it.

But what if there are 2 copies of him...

[rockaction]

Don't think the double copy is going to happen. MFL is the only site that can run it and it costs a hundred bucks to do so. So, we're back to square one. Sorry for the positive outlook. It's a negative, Ghost Rider.

 

[rockaction]

Sorry, Mrs. R. I was really bummed to find that out. I thought we could do a free year at MFL but the "free" is only until the fourth week of the season.
