it's a doggone genuine pleasure to look at sports-info boards today and no longer care about words like "groin", "limited": and "protocol".

ETA: and, btw - Limited Groin Protocol was the name of my Jane's Addiction tribute band backinaday...

Not quite...

We're a redraft league on MFL.com, so the final week is our annual FF golf tournament... dump rosters, pick-up free agents (and/or play your bench) in an attempt to get the lowest score possible. Big point penalties for zeroes though, so it has proven to be more difficult than it sounds.

Anyway... long way of saying we've got one more week! 😁

That is the coolest idea I've ever heard of.

Good luck...never heard of that...love the strategy that you can't get a zero.

We've always tried to do something weird for the last week... tried different "pro bowl" ideas,, but nothing ever caught on until I flew this golf idea up the flag pole. Everyone took to it right away and this will be our 14th year for the Ed McCaffrey Invitational Golf Tournament. 😄

Here are the rules... would need to tweak things for your scoring system and the Commish needs to adjust final scores to reflect the zero (0) penalties. 27 under par (33 pts) is the course record and every year at least one owner has claimed the John Daly meltdown award and (accidentally) topped 100 pts:

1) PAR for the course will be 60, the team that finishes with the lowest score (most points UNDER par, if applicable) wins.

2) Tie-breaker will be head-to-head player; lowest scorer vs other team's lowest scorer, if still tied, on to the next pair of lowest scorers, and so on until the tie is broken.

3) Transactions are allowed FOLLOWING WEEK 17... pick up as many losers as you can to fill out your roster... but don't pick up TOO BIG of a loser

4) The strategy; to get the lowest point total for each individual player based on our normal starting line-up. In other words, think DUDS in place of STUDS for your line-up. If you have a guy on an NFL team that has everything locked up and he may only play one quarter, or even one series... he may be PERFECT! Be cautious however, because there is one little "catch."

5) Here is the catch; the obvious thing to do would be to acquire some free agents on IR and post a ZERO; but in this format ZERO's will be severely penalized as follows;
**QB scoring zero (0) is... +22 pts
**RB scoring zero (0) is... +16 pts
**WR scoring zero (0) is... +16 pts
**TE scoring zero (0) is... +16 pts
**PK scoring zero (0) is... +10 pts

So you see, the idea really is to get as close to ONE (1) point for each player as possible, without recording a ZERO.

Nothing to gain or lose here, but it's all in good fun so why not take a shot at it. Normal waiver wire and deadline rules will apply FOLLOWING WEEK 17 so go ahead and put your best (worst) line-up together.

Anyone submitting a line-up this week will be considered as being "in" the tournament. Leftover line-ups from previous weeks will not qualify.

Really cool. Only question I have is, what about negatives? I assume they count negatively (in a good way) toward your score, and I assume they are not penalized. But the tricky question is what about a player who did in fact record scoring statistics, but who scored a 0 nonetheless. You know, a QB who gained 3 pts in passing yardage, 0 touchdowns, 0 rushing, and threw 3 picks. Or a RB who took 3 carries for 3, 0, and -3 yards, resulting in 0 yards. If the rules are as stated, that works totally fine, and you get the penalty even though the guy played. Which is just a random unlucky event, but I would be annoyed if that happened to me.

Brings up another funny "not sure what happens in this case but I'd be bummed if it happened to me" situation. Our league is on CBS and our DST's get points (up to 14, I think) for yardage allowed, and on our league scoring page, it lists the points for each yardage range. But for the highest scoring range, it specifically says "0-125 yds" scores 14 points. I've always wondered what is going to happen when some team has one of those historically epic defensive games against a hapless offense, and they gain -12 yards. Is the system going to give their DST 0 points for yardage because they did not fall into any scoring range?

All good points and as mentioned earlier, it would need to be tweaked to suit your scoring system.

We don't have decimal scoring so a RB that gets 9 yards gets a 0 not 0.9 (in a 1 pt/10yd system)... tough love, yes... but them's the breaks and it's equal for all.

We don't play DEF/ST either. This goes back to our inaugural season (1993) when fantasy football references were limited and websites had yet to be invented. The reference "book" we had to design our league around was called the Fantasy Football Bible... don't recall who wrote it. Anyway, inside it proclaimed (right or wrong) that fantasy football was created by a pair of San Diego sports talk radio guys during the Air Coryell era after proclaiming, "If NFL teams were judged on offensive performance only, the Chargers would win the Super Bowl every year!" Per the book they followed this up with a listener contest where one lucky "owner" would try to put together an all-star offensive roster to go up against the Chargers each week with points awarded for stats... and the rest is history.

It’s never the offseason! I open my dynasty team page thrice daily looking at my hoard of 2023 picks with 17 browser windows open scouting my 1.07 this year & graphing out potential trade offers for up & coming assets. 

I eat, sleep & breathe FF! :pickle:  

alsonotreally

but I am doing a postseason draft on Tuesday. :pickle:  

 
been at it a long time, and fsports - mostly bats & hoops - is still how i get my brain going each day, but i just quit my oldest (and favorite and biggest moneymaker) ffb league because its draft begins when the Super Bowl ends and i dont want anymore to sweat guys & sitches thru Feb to draft, then the FA period, then college draft, only to watch them fall to Limited Groin Protocols and Cowabunga Variants in the fall. Keeper, dynasty, i can keep up with on my daily reads of sports-info boards, but this league is too much anymore.
