Unique Total Redraft League Needs 3 Owners (1 Viewer)

Hey Folks,

I run a very unique league called the Top of the Mountain League. This league is a total redraft league with 12 teams, 20 player rosters and no draft.

Why no draft you may ask? Because each team can have any player on their roster that they want. Every team can have Peyton Manning or ADP or Andre Johnson etc.

The reason for this, is because of the way the league runs each week. Before I get into that, however, let me give some basics about the league.

League Fee is $60 and all league fees minus the site fee of $60 is paid out. League Champ gets $400, Runner up gets $180 and Third place gets $60.

12 teams with 20 player rosters

All transactions are done via FCFS waivers. I.E. you pick up your players using FCFS waivers.

All games are H2H games each week of the regular season.

The Playoffs are set as a total points type playoff system. You can see the rules for this in the Additional Rules section of the League Bylaws.

Now here's where things get interesting. Each week during the regular season, not only will the starting lineups change, but the total number of players you have to start will change. One week you may be starting 1 QB, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 Def for a total of 9 players. The next week you might be starting 5 K's and 5 Def's for a total of 10 players. Then another week you might be starting 3 QB's, 3 RB's, 3 WR's, 3 TE's, 3 K's and 3 Def's for a total of 18 players. A list of all the starting lineups is shown at the bottom of the Additional Rules section on the League Bylaws page.

The basic jist of this league is that each owner must make the best decisions possible to pick the players who will have the best week during any given week. The ones who make the right choices, will score the most points and win their games. The ones who don't, will lose.

Also, all starting lineups are hidden until the Monday night game starts. Once that game starts, no changes are allowed to your starting linups.

Teams can see how their team is doing against their opponent, but you will only see the total points scored, not the individual points.

We had a vote about this and decided to go this route rather then not allowing any changes after the first game on Sunday started so that teams could see how their entire team is doing against their opponent. Teams wanted the flexibility to possible change players if necessary.

Anyway, here's a link to the leagues Bylaws page http://football17.myfantasyleague.com/2011/options?L=34305&O=26. If you scroll down through that, you will see the Additional Rules section. That's where all of the league rules are posted.

Anyone who is interested in taking on a spot in this league, please send me an email to LoneWolf1023@aol.com. PLEASE make sure you state which league you're talking about when asking about this league. I run a total of 22 leagues and don't want to accidentally put you in the wrong league. lol

I hope 3 people will contact me ASAP and take on the challenge of trying to win in this league. :)

Thanks for reading about it.

 
These spots are going quick folks. So get them while you can.

BTW I know this league is different, but it is also a lot of fun.

I know it's a stigma that when each team can have any player, what's the challenge in it.

Well, with the starting lineups being so varied, each owner really has to know their NFL players so that they can pick the best players for each position. Just picking the best player at each position doesn't really work. You have to pay attention to matchups, bye weeks, how the players around that player are playing etc.

I'm a pretty good owner and I thought I had this league all figured out last year. I didn't even make the playoffs. lol

Anyway, anyone interested in taking on this challenge, send me an email to LoneWolf1023@aol.com. Make sure you mention the Top of the Mountain League.

Thanks.

 
Hey Folks,

Without getting blasted for a crazy league concept or something, is the fact that the league finances for this league are not on Leaguesafe.com a reason why people are not joining this fun league?

Because I want to fill this really fun league, I would be willing to move the finances of the league to Leaguesafe if that will mean I can get 3 owners to join the league.

I'm nothing if not progressive with my thoughts on FF and leagues in particular. As you can tell from the information shown above, lol. So there's no reason why I can't get with the times and at least give Leaguesafe a try.

So let me know if that's the problem with why people are not joining?

BTW If it's because you don't like this type of league or another reason like that, then that's cool. I'm mainly trying to see if the way the league finances are done is the biggest reason I'm not filling the league.

Thanks.

PS. I'm pretty sure this is at least a part of the problem, based on comments from people in other messages I've posted, but I'd still like to make sure that's at least a big part of why I'm not getting owners for this league. ;)

 
I still need 2 owners in this great league folks. So if you like the option to use any owner you want and you feel you know more about those players then the other people in the league, sign up for this fun league. :)
