Tim's FFL Year 4- Out of the playoffs again. This league sucks. (1 Viewer)

Hold on... I wasn't aware we were letting Jews in this league.

They're not holding the money, are they?

 
Sorry I missed this this year....gotta do a better job of keeping up to date with the site i guess. Oh well, good luck to everyone.

Legacy members should never be given the short shrift. If no one balls, we should expand to 15. LOTS of talent available this season

 
No worries....if you expand I am interested. However, don't want anyone stepping down for me...I came in year 2, so was a new guy as well.

 
Maybe Unlucky had it but still could have made sure everyone had gotten a pm on here from last year. Seem to do it this way every year for some reason. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I barely noticed the thread maybe the day before it filled up.

im more than happy to step down for Rikishi

I dont even like fantasy football. just did it because cos, pump, CIA and ref were in the league

Rikishi if you wanna paypal me the 100 dollar entry, the site invites or draft is still nowhere near starting. Send me a PM and don't think twice about doing it. I'll just have you pay me the buy in and have tim change my name to yours.

more than happy to do so.

I wasn't meaning to imply anyone should step down. Sorry. Just saying it happens every year. Plus it's fun ragging on Tim, too.

Link to scoring rules we've previously used: http://football8.myfantasyleague.com/2014/options?L=33199&O=09

Highlights: Passing yards, 0.04 yard per yard; PPR (0.5 ppr for RB). Everything else is standard boiler plate stuff.

Not sure if the defensive scoring scheme will map over to Yahoo (not sure if anyone will care either, but I did kind of like the way scoring flowed in the tight match-ups, especially when defenses were playing in Sunday and Monday night games: Total Points Allowed - 10.00 points for 0, and then -0.30 point for every 1 thereafter; Total Net Yards Allowed - 10.00 points for 0, and then -0.03 point for every 1 thereafter.

 
We will not be using the previous scoring rules. I'll post the new rules tommorow. They will be more conventional.
Should we have 8 playoff spots or 6?
Not that I will care much in the long run, but it's not good form to collect money and then proclaim you are going to change the rules. In fact, part of the charm of this league's brief history is that people such as you could not grasp the league settings and draft appropriately.

Carry on.

Before I collected any money I informed everyone that the rules would be standard with PPR

Wishbone offense with two TE's and one WR.

 
I don't know what standard scoring is.
Nothing is quite standard. What ESPN calls standard is different than Yahoo. I would say something like:

4 Pt Passing TD

6 Pt Rushing/Recieving TD

1 pt. per 25 yards passing

1 pt per 10 yards rushing/recieving

1 pt per reception

-1 pt per INT thrown

2 pt. per 2 pt conversion thrown

2 pt per 2 pt conversion rushing/recieving

kicking

3 pt per FG <40 yards

4 pt per FG 40-49

5 pt per FG 50-59

6 pt per FG >60

1 pt per extra pt kicked

-1 pt per fg or extra pont missed

Special Teams/Def

1 pt per Sack

2 pt per INT/Fumble Recovery

2 pt per safety

1 pt per TD on Special Teams or Defense

Allowed 0 pts = 10 points

Allowed 1-6 = 8 points

Allowed 7-13 = 4 points

Allowed 14-20 = 2 points

Allowed 21-27 = 0 points

Allowed 28-34 = -2 points

Allowed 35+ = -4 points

Starting Lineup:

QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K, Def

Roster 16 players....No more than three teams QB's, 5 RBs, or 5 WRs

We can't start this league until everyone's paid.

 
OK, here are the rules. I will post these on the OP as well.

The league is known as "Timschochet's FFL league" at Yahoo. (League ID# 581820) Once everyone has been paid, I will send invites.

Once draft starts it will be here, Monday through Friday, 10 am PST to 7pm PST. Each drafter will have one hour to make picks. This may be shortened in later rounds if time permits. The clock is off on weekends, though anyone may make their pick at any time.

16 team league. 16 round draft. Each week, you must start: 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE, 3 RB/WR/TEs, 1 DEF, 1 K

Scoring:

Passing: 25 yards per point, 4 pts per TD, -1 for interception

Rushing: 10 yards per point, 6 pts for TD,

Receptions: 10 yards per point, 1 pt per reception, 6 pts for TD

General: -2 for fumbles lost, 2 pts for 2pt conversion, 6 for offensive fumble return TD

Kicking: 1 pt for PAT, 3 pts for 0-39 yards, 4 pts for 40-49 yards, 5 pts for 50+

Defense: 1 for sack, 2 for interception, 2 for fumble recovery, 6 for TD, 2 for safety, 2 for blocked kick, 6 for kickoff and punt return TDs, 10 for 0 pts, 7 for 1-6 pts, 4 for 7-13 pts, 1 for 14-20 pts, -1 for 28-34 pts, -4 for 35+ pts.

Waiver wire- each week in reverse order of standings, waiver time 2 days

Trades- to be approved by commissioner (only way I disapprove is obvious inequity) trades end Nov. 13

Playoffs: 6 teams. Top 2 get 1 week bye.

Prizes:

1st place: $800

2nd place: $400

3rd place: $200

high score regular season: $200

Please let me know ASAP if you have any complaints or recommended changes. If your suggestions seem reasonable and if others agree I will go along with it. I can't please everyone but I'll do my best.

 
whatever scoring issues i may have are replaced by the fact you went with yahoo.

So therefore, no complaints. Hurry up and pay all!

What's the reason for this vs rolling waivers? I'm pretty sure rolling waivers is standard.
The reverse order of standings is probably not the best method. Regardless, our rules will need tie-breakers. I think total points makes the most sense as #1 tie-breaker.

 
Big :thumbup: to yahoo for the league... love the setup and really easy to run/use. MFL was a ####### joke.

IMO H2H is a good first tiebreaker, total points second, coinflip (unlikely to be needed) 3rd.
