PPR Fantasy Football

[lupulinaddict]

I'm in, so long as there are no last minute changes to the draft again.

Can't guarantee that I will be there tomorrow, but I'd rather not have to scramble only to miss it as happened last year.

My goal is to never change it from the last preseason game!

 

[lupulinaddict]

Sure looks like it. One more would be great!

Being the world champion, we should confirm you are fine with @gromitdj shipping later than intended??

 

[lupulinaddict]

The rules can be found on the league's website..

There isn't a 'buy in' but if you are in 3rd through last place, you need to ship beer.

With the payout, noting is really set in stone but I believe that the minimum is a 22 oz. bomber of commercial beer.
Most of us would send about 6-8 singles of different sizes (i.e. 16 oz., an occasional bomber, 12oz cans, etc...)

As @betarhoalphadelta pointed out in post# 807...

• 9 players ship beer to the champion
• 1 player ships beer to the runner-up
• 3rd place consolation playoff game, the winner decides who they are to ship to, and 4th place ships to the other--this allows for the winner to potentially save on shipping costs

I appreciate this and everyone that helps keep conversations moving!! @TheDudeLebowski I will send you the info to sign up. It is pretty much standard ppr, I believe the only difference is we have 3wr slots. Any other questions feel free to ask.

If he wins this year and still hasn’t shipped, then everyone ships to me instead, right?

Correct.

Also 0.5 points to a passer per completion.

Helps to rebalance the value of passing quarterbacks as fantasy scoring usually overweights QBs who run a lot.

I don't know who originally set it up that way but I personally like it lol...

 

[TBC]

@lupulinaddict I’m in if you will still have me!

@TheDudeLebowski @ThirstyPawsHB @Dgallo @RevKev @MaxStout @Section1 @Thorrak @fourfarthing
Anyone interested in joining the HBT fantasy football league this season?
No buy in just ship beer at the end if you lose, get beer if you win.

my wife might kill me for joining another league but I’ll try to do some reading through the thread tonight. When’s the latest to let you know. Tomorrow morning?

Waaaait a minute. It sounds like a lot of thought is being put into this

I think the morning would be best. No pressure either.

 

[_BullDog_]

I can be in again and will ship soon for last year.

If someone else wants my spot that is fine as well

Thank you for considering joining us. It looks like @TBC just confirmed his spot just before you responded.

If you and @_BullDog_ are interested I can see if everyone wants to bump to 14.

Anyone opposed to more beer and more difficulty??

It’s all good on my end, I was probably going to need to pass anyway.

Sounds good. Thanks for considering it to help us fill the league. Good luck in your other leagues and keep us in mind next year.

What, were you told there would be no math?

Well, I'm in that insane 20-team league again this year, so I'm cool with whatever we end up with lol...

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Where do we stand @lupulinaddict ? It looks like:

• @gromitdj made it 9
• @TheDudeLebowski made it 10
• @Thorrak made it 11
• @TBC made it 12
• Then @_BullDog_ and @Dgallo together make 14.
• If @Dgallo is out then we're at 13...

We are at 12. My apologies to @_BullDog_ , we were getting too close to draft day and needed to fill the league before we had your commitment. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we will get a fourteenth in time to give everyone enough notice about the expansion. I think we will have to fit you in next season.

See everyone later today. Good luck in the draft!

 

[TallDan]

Whoa. What a difference a day makes. I’d be cool with a 14 person league if we have the people. I didn’t think we’d even get 12!

The more the merrier. I don't care if it's 12 or 14

 

[lupulinaddict]

Whoa. What a difference a day makes. I’d be cool with a 14 person league if we have the people. I didn’t think we’d even get 12!

I am fine as well, need another player and maybe 50%+ votes to do it.

Honestly though, I'd hate to do it this close to draft and have someone feel that they were unaware and unprepared?
Personally, I am fine with it too. I don't prepare anymore, and my performance the last few years will reflect those choices!

 

[_BullDog_]

No problem. I was offering to be in if needed but don’t really have the time this season. Enjoy and I’ll send beer soon for last season

Sounds good. @TallDan will appreciate the beers

 

[lupulinaddict]

To Clarify....
We are at 12, and need two additional players to get to 14.
I think it is best to move forward where we stand and continue as planned.

 

[Thorrak]

I’m cool with whatever!

 

[Chorgey]

Just to play it safe, maybe attempt the 14 teams next year

 

[pshankstar]

I’m looking forward to our draft tonight at 8:00pm EST.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

https://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy-fo...e-more-accurate-than-you-think-202229430.html

Wow. Teams Yahoo grades as a C win 50% of their matchups on average.

Teams that are graded as A+ must be a lot better, right? Nope. 52.9%.

F? Much worse, right? Not THAT bad... 43.2%

And THIS was the article that they wrote to defend their grades?!?!

 

[troglodytes]

Woohoo! I'm finally back in.

The draft grading has always been horrible. Another thing is that I don't think it takes league settings into consideration, like the 3WR vs standard 2. I take pride in getting Fs

BTW, do we have a draft order?

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

BTW, do we have a draft order?

IIRC it'll let us into the draft client 30 minutes prior to the draft.

So 9 minutes from now.

I promise I’m good for it. Ask around, I’ve never not fulfilled a commitment. Also, if I don’t, @Thorrak will cover me.
