So last year's league (/message_topic.aspx?topic=339979) went pretty well for a free Yahoo! league. This year I'm gonna expand from 10 to 12 teams. I'm also not going to finish in fifth place.

I'm really comfortable with the positions and point system, but I am open to debate. There will be a playoff at the end of the season and I have no idea when we'll do the draft, most likely towards the end of the preseason. The draft will be live online.

Questions, etc. can go here.

UNC Defenestrators in the house

6/19/2006 1:50:21 PM

your scoring system is bullshit.

You arent rewarding the RB's enough. The 20 yards a point leads to the Jerome Bettis factor of 2 years ago. No way in hell should 3 carries, 5 yards, 2 touchdowns be worth more than 120 yards rushing and 1 touchdown.

With RB's I always like to go 10 yards a point. Fantasy football should be all about the running back. Your way punishes the solid running back but rewards the goal-line vultures.

Plz to change the rule, so The Guru can join your league.

6/19/2006 2:08:14 PM

go away, cunt

6/19/2006 2:09:45 PM

if we're bitching I also think sacks should at least be -1 for qbs ( i mean they can often control this), also I think incomplete passes should be negative (so -.25 for attempts, and +.50 for completions kind of thing).

but I'm down for whatever, just my input

^False alternative

6/19/2006 5:52:22 PM

am I the only person that thinks it's really stupid that we have to make our draft rankings and then the players are auto drafted from our list. I mean just bc I rank someone higher than someone else predraft doesn't mean I'd want to draft them before the lower ranked person. I want to pick based on what other people are doing. For instance if I have 2rbs, and everone else has their starting qb, well I want to draft my qb before my 3rd rb, but if no one has drafted a qb yet, that may not be the case, I mean wtf yahoo and viva la bagel league

6/19/2006 5:53:40 PM

ok, well hopefully I'm confused, but I was reading stuff on the page, and it said how predraft rankings need to be done 45min before the draft, and that players will be drafted from those lists, which we can use yahoo default if we don't make our own. Why would they write this in our leage page if it didn't apply to our league?

6/19/2006 5:54:55 PM

Oh. I thought live draft meant just that. You picked players as you went along.

6/19/2006 5:55:53 PM

well I certainly hope so, this is my first league, but I'm just going on what I read. Hopefully La bagel can shed some light on this

6/20/2006 11:44:31 AM

i reserve the right to kick you out if you're a douchebag

6/20/2006 11:45:20 AM

that would be a travesty.

do not make such a hasty and deplorable decision.

6/20/2006 11:46:28 AM

Fuck.

I can't make the draft.

I am leaving for Vancouver that morning.

Any chance of making it 1 day earlier, Ernie?

6/20/2006 11:49:03 AM

that day is bullshit, i just clicked on something

it'll probably be a week or so earlier

6/20/2006 11:50:02 AM

awesome.

thanks.

you do need to change it in advance though....the spots for the draft fill up fast.

[Edited on June 20, 2006 at 11:52 AM. Reason : asdf]

6/20/2006 11:51:32 AM

full yet? you should make completions and attempts more than .1 imo. Maybe .5 or .2 or something. The .1 makes them seem token.

6/20/2006 11:54:42 AM

^^ yeah i know, i'll set it for certain once we get the last owner

I agree.

if a QB completes 50 passes in one game, he should get more than 5 points.

How about .25 per completion?

20 completed passes would equal 5 points. That seems fair enough.

Also....final plea for changing the RB points to 10 rushing yards per point instead of 20.

PLEASE. I promise, once you play this way you will see how much better it is.

6/20/2006 12:05:48 PM

ok i can deal with changing completions to .25

give me some time to look over stuff before i change rushing yards

now about the draft

i'd like to do it on a sunday afternoon/evening, if that doesn't work i can probably do a weekday evening

let me know what times you guys will be available

6/20/2006 12:22:28 PM

I am available at anytime as long as i have a weeks notice

6/20/2006 12:38:32 PM

anytime except:

during work hours (Mon - Fri 8:30 - 6:30)

and not during the Sept 2 - Sept 10th

6/20/2006 1:48:28 PM

evenings work for me.

6/20/2006 3:00:11 PM

6/20/2006 6:57:56 PM

dont change the point value for yardage

the points should be weighted more for td's, a rb can run for 200 yards but if he doesnt score a td his team doesnt win, should be like that in ff as well

6/24/2006 5:52:18 PM

this needs to start, as most have said, evenings are generally good for me, try to give at least 2 weeks notice though
