This is a very involved and experienced league of 11 years, and I'm looking for only the best managers. The requirements are as follows: You should be highly active in all aspects of the game; social in the league chat at least once per week, lineup always in, responding to trade offers promptly, participating in league polls etc. In addition to being very involved, full participation in all league activities is required, including following all rules and procedures. Managers are also expected to be respectful to the commissioner and league mates. If this isn't how you naturally go about your business, this league isn't for you unfortunately. These measures are in place to ensure a structured, positive, and competitive environment, and they're taken very seriously. Managers will preferably have knowledge of each years draft class before the NFL draft, or at least do enough homework to be prepared without leaning on a top 100 list. Studious and knowledgeable managers are ideal. You must know the difference between managing a dynasty vs redraft team. You also need to know when to rebuild, buy or stand pat, as well as understand the risks of acquiring old players etc. etc. Basic GM stuff. Now for the fun stuff! If you're interested in a league that's similar to a real GM experience, you'll likely love this league. Its a difficult league, but many of the managers have said its their favorite. Its 16 teams. Deep benches (20) to simulate a farm system. This also creates a thin waiver wire situation. There are a few useful adds from the wire each year, but you will not be able to fix your problems through free agent adds. You need to value your bench, picks, players of lesser value, and truly understand the asset management aspect of managing a team in order to consistently compete in this league. Scoring is somewhat basic, but there are some differences from the norm. When a QB throws a TD in the NFL, its worth 6 points, so we do the same in this league. This setting also gives QBs a slight value bump, which I believe is appropriate. Defensive scoring is also higher in this league to reflect the real life impact a NFL defense has to a teams success, so having knowledge of defensive units is helpful. Team defenses score about an average of 15 - 20 points per week. PPR. Rosters spots are: QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/FLEX/FLEX/DST/BENCH x20. There is a 3 round rookie draft each spring. There's more to it, but everything is setup with creating a realistic experience/challenge in mind. This is a Fantrax league with a $100 buy-in. $800 prize for the winner of the main pot, and three annual side pots, two of $160: Last man standing (lowest scoring team each week is eliminated), most improved manager (by points not wins). And a third annual side pot (survivor pool) with a prize amount yet TBD. $5 of the buy-in goes into the Dynasty Pot which usually carries over year to year. This pot can be won in a variety of ways including, back to back championships or a perfect season (16-0). We also have a 5 year pot that works on a points system to reward the most consistent teams over a 5 year period. The most points at the end of the 5 year term wins $600 ($200 to 2nd). Lastly, there's an in season tournament with a pot of $240. The league also has a very detailed Google Sheets page with tabs for dues, performance history, league records, all side pots, power rankings, projections, manager ratings, career winnings and more. If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to ask. I will have a few questions to anyone interested and I'll choose who I feel is the best fit. Please contact me at brentso72@yahoo.com.
