Title: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: Aske on August 10, 2009, 07:34:04 AM i think we should aim for like sept 4 of course ... [sm_devil] i'm taking both titles (...the pickem of course) this year!
8) 8) Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: dystopia on August 10, 2009, 09:05:35 AM I just renewed the Yahoo league we used last year.
The draft is tentatively set for Fri Sep 4 6:00pm PDT (9pm Eastern). I remember there were some issues with the draft time last year, so please suggest a preferred date/time soon. The URL is: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/golfhos If you want an invite, send me a PM or post something in this thread. People who played last year should have already gotten an email. Prize is tbd. Our ad revenue is way down this year (much fewer danica lurkers), so it might not be as good as last year.

I throw something up that will regain the "viewership". Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: Walfredo on August 10, 2009, 09:17:57 AM It's on.

Oh wait..... Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: Aske on August 10, 2009, 11:04:07 AM are we keeping the same format and scoring as last season?

That definitely needs to be changed.

Post by: dystopia on August 10, 2009, 11:23:34 AM are we keeping the same format and scoring as last season? I just changed the max # of teams to 14, and changed the number of teams that make the playoffs from 4 to 6. I liked the head-to-head format from last year. I think we should probably tweak the scoring, but I can't remember what issues came up last year with the scoring. Any suggestions? What do you guys think about changing the roster format slightly? Change the starters from: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF to QB, WR, WR, Flex(WR/RB/TE), RB, RB, TE, K, DEF So instead of a third WR spot, you have a flex player that could be WR/RB/TE. It definitely changes the strategy up. Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: dystopia on August 10, 2009, 11:29:03 AM Ah, here's where we talked about future league rule changes:
http://www.golfhos.com/topic-9122.90 Another idea is 1 pt bonus for passing > 300yds or rushing/receiving > 100yds All these funky rules make it harder to estimate your teams points on Sunday, though.

(more like 14), adjust up/down a bit accordingly add draft of 1-2 additional defensive individual players per team points for plays over 10 yards. ?

I'm ok with those except for "points for plays over 10 yds". I don't see that as an option. I'd favor only 1 additional individual defensive player just to keep things simpler. Anyone for or against any of those suggestions? Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: Fuzzy on August 10, 2009, 06:09:26 PM fractional scoring shutout worth more than 10.

In addition to your Team Defense, you pick an individual defensive player (LB, S, CB, DE, whatever) That dude gets points for defensive stats: Sack 1 Interception 2 Fumble Recovery 2 Touchdown 6 Safety 2 Block Kick 2 Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ??

Would I get double the points for sacks if I have Jared Allen and the Vikings defense? I'm not a big fan of individual defensive stuff other than picking a D. YMMV Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: gleek on August 10, 2009, 07:17:38 PM In my experience, an individual defender is a crap shoot. I say nix the idea.
Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: stroh on August 10, 2009, 07:19:30 PM I could sleep on a Terrazzo floor and not give a *feces*.
Title: Re: time to start trying to schedule FF draft ?? Post by: Walfredo on August 11, 2009, 06:38:39 AM LOL at my 9% chance of being home on a Friday night in front of the computer. I guess I could have gotten a babysitter for dinner with the Mrs. Other than that, I can tab browse my pröñ and still participate.
On topic: +1 for Flex option please god no pts per reception I like the idea of extra points for big games but fine either way +1 for fractional scoring I've never played with a defensive player, could be fun. Not a dealbreaker for me though. |
