When Is Your Most Important Draft?
Very similar. We are in year 31 (I joined 21 years ago) and we just moved to Superflex for this upcoming season. Really looking forward to different drafting strategies than the same old of just loading up on RBs and WRs.Year 20 of my league…12 person Superflex .5PPR
Made the switch from 1 QB to Superflex 2 years ago. It’s been the best thing for our league! It has made the draft much more fun/unpredictable.
Yeah, the core of my league is 20+ years together. Several flying in from out of state. I took a rare weekend off of work. Saturday draft, Sunday poker game / tourney. Sunday will mostly be spent trashing each other’s teams while we try to get rich $0.25 at a time.Most important one is a 25 year 12 team. We always draft on the third Friday of August.
Hopefully you love the Superflex! It has made the draft prep and the draft much more fun…no more PattyM & Kyler getting drafted in round 5 or later.Very similar.

Draft is Sept 1 - can’t wait.
I miss the poker game after the draft that used to happen with the first league I was ever in. Unfortunately guys grew less interested over the years and it folded. They also clung to the td heavy scoring of yesteryear for way too long, so I don't mind losing that.Yeah, the core of my league is 20+ years together. Several flying in from out of state.

Good luck! Please post the first 17 rounds here.None of the above for the poll. My longest running league is 25 years this year and our draft is tonight.
We used to do labor day weekend.11am on the last Sunday in August, every year.
The families get the rest of the weekend ... the boys get Monday!We used to do labor day weekend.
then wives & chilrens happened to many in the league & Labor Day weekend became a family holiday.
They’ve got their priorities all screwed up.
Gave me 10 years of practice to be terrible.Damn rookie!We are in year 31 (I joined 21 years ago)
Interestingly we moved to superflex because it was too RB dominated.We are very traditional, no superflex. Those leagues tend to be too highly dominated by one position (QB).
Did you get better tho?Gave me 10 years of practice to be terrible.
Won only once but probably the best power ranking over that time. Just always one or two players shortDid you get better tho?Gave me 10 years of practice to be terrible.

We’re PPR too, but also a deep keeper league, so the talent is pretty dispersed. RB strength tends to win out in the end.We are PPR so the WR is almost always the most influential in deciding the league winner. Last year it was the guy with Adams, Nuke, and Jefferson. His starting RB was a round 7 pick.
Pretty much what we do. This is our 25th year. We have people fly in from out of town and all gather at one guy’s house starting Friday. We feast (I’m smoking a pork butt, we’ll have home made pizza and wings too) all weekend, play poker, drink our asses off, and have two different drafts with our main one being Saturday evening.Yeah, the core of my league is 20+ years together.

Would be useless to everyone since it’s a keeper league with a fairly unique keeper system. Makes it a bit tough to prep for, but using the Draft Dominator to run Mock drafts is great other than it’s REALLY sure guys should take certain players in the 1st round when I am 75% sure they’ll be taking RBs. Do a lot of resetting the draft to a certain position trying to force DD to take a different player. Pretty good indication though if just how much guys in my league overvalue RBs. Problem is they overvalue them so much it actually forces everyone else to overvalue them or you lose out completely.Good luck! Please post the first 17 rounds here.

It’s my favorite weekend of the year.
I used to BBQ as well, but 6 years back we had a league member drop out & his replacement owns a pizza joint.Pretty much what we do. This is our 25th year.

My motto is “don’t drink and draft”. But afterwards, bombs away…I used to BBQ as well, but 6 years back we had a league member drop out & his replacement owns a pizza joint.
So now he brings a keg of beer & 5 take & bake pizzas. And I’m off the hook for BBQ-ing.
We have one guy that tries to pass around a Bob Marley type joint just before every draft. I tell him to save it for the last round.My motto is “don’t drink and draft”. But afterwards, bombs away…
His philosophy is to bring the highest ABV keg he can find so he can gain a tactical advantage.My motto is “don’t drink and draft”. But afterwards, bombs away…
