I usually won't waste my time with free leagues
I changed the draft date and time from Friday, August 28th to Sunday, August 30th at 6pm. As long as half of the league can make it, the draft time will stay and those that can't make the live draft can autopick. Let me know ASAFP if you can make that draft on 8/30 at 6:30pm, because the available times for live drafts on Yahoo! are drying up very quickly.
This league is not free, FWIW. We play in a free league at Yahoo, but everyone puts in $20 and we pay out the top 3 (correct me if I have the nujmber of payouts incorrect, Yooper).
Just wanted to make sure those who want in are aware of this.
We paid out the top three spots last year; something like $150 to the winner, $50 to 2nd place, and $20 to third place. If we did 12 spots x $25, we could do like $200/$75/$25, if we wanted to make it a LITTLE more interesting.
We have a draft date set yet? Want to make sure I leave the calendar clear.
Can I make one small rules request? Last year, scoring was VERY much driven by touchdowns, it hardly mattered at all how many yards a guy had, it was almost entirely based on whether he got in the end zone or not. The year before, scoring was VERY much driven by yardage, there was a 10-point bonus for cracking 100 yards rushing, touchdowns were almost less important than a guy just grinding out 101 or 102 yards.
Can we get a better balance this year? Split the difference and institute a smallish (like, five point) bonus for a RB or WR getting 100 yards? Likewise, maybe a five-point bonus for a QB cracking 300 yds passing?
Yooper, what is your email for the paypal payment?
Is it $20 or $25?
Hey, I think I figured everybody else out- but whose team is the Ruffied Alter Boys? (And is Alter as in "neutered"?)
This is Reverend JC's team.
Last year on paper I had the highest scoring team in projected stats and I lost my first round draft choice 20 minutes into the season. Net, a strong draft only gets you so far - free agent pick ups get you the rest of the way.
- Ohiobrewtus looks strongest
- As long as Cutler finds a receiver, AP should do the rest to carry HighPlainsDrifter
- Schweaty's receivers may just be strong enough to carry that whole team
- I am hoping some of my sleepers pan out
Good luck everyone!
