edjr 5,585 Posted July 12, 2008 As I mentioned wayyy earlier, I will collect the cash because this was my idea and I don't trust any of you fools. I'm the only one on this board that has collected money several times in the past 3 years and paid out each time the event ended. Ask around. I even did a secret santa with 9 other people. they all sent me the presents, I took pictures, wrapped them and sent them to the right people (used my own money for shipping, some people chipped in extra) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usurpers26 26 Posted July 12, 2008 I will take the last spot if someone could answer/verify below: 3 divisions of 4 teams - 3 division winners plus 3 wildcards make the playoffs - top 2 teams get a bye in week 14 superbowl is week 16 play everyone in your division twice (6 games) plus 7 other teams outside of divison (13 games total) ability to trade future draft picks (2-3 years ahead) normal waiver process between Sun-Wed (worst to first), then first come first serve Thu-Sun (kickoff) league is hosted on MFL Questions: Any IR spots? Is it .1 points per 1 yeard rushing (that is true decimal scoring) No flex? ETA: Most important question - what is the payout structure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yostevo 0 Posted July 12, 2008 I will take the last spot if someone could answer/verify below: 3 divisions of 4 teams - yes 3 division winners plus 3 wildcards make the playoffs - top 2 teams get a bye in week 14 Yes superbowl is week 16 Absolutely play everyone in your division twice (6 games) plus 7 other teams outside of divison (13 games total) The only thing I would change here is that I'm all for a doubleheader in one week (usually wk 11 because of no bye weeks) to make sure you play everyone in the league at least once. So 14 gms total ability to trade future draft picks (2-3 years ahead) yes normal waiver process between Sun-Wed (worst to first), then first come first serve Thu-Sun (kickoff) I would imagine yes league is hosted on MFL This has been posted Questions: Any IR spots? Not sure but I vote no Is it .1 points per 1 yeard rushing (that is true decimal scoring) I'm not familiar with decimal scoring so I'l defer No flex? I run flex positions in my leagues but I'm willing to stick to the suggested format of 2 RB 3 WR but either way I'm not the "official" commish but I can throw in my .02 since I will be helping to moderate this.

usurpers26 26 Posted July 12, 2008 Sounds good, I dont mind the doubleheader at all - if you guys can post the payout structure that would be awesome. Some leagues dish out way too much money. I'm hoping this pays out the top 3 - no payout for points scored, etc. One last stupid little thing, is tie-breakers. Obviously record, then...division record then points scored? Count me in - whoever is collecting the cash, please email me at "usurpers26 at comcast dot net" with your paypal addy.

kutulu 1,552 Posted July 12, 2008 Agreed. Let's get the 12 people and a board so we can discuss it all. I trust edjr. Now step up and get all the info compiled in one spot. Rules, payouts, structure, emails, etc. etc. etc. so we can quickly hammer out all details of the league. I am looking to start drafting ASAP. BTW, I vote for a slow draft (but not too slow). Looking forward to this league. jdliam@hotmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usurpers26 26 Posted July 12, 2008 We can always start an "email" draft via MFL and if it looks like it won't finish in time change to a live draft at a set date. Having said that, as long as people check their email and the website every other day or so we will have plenty of time to complete a 25-30 round draft this way. Edjr - if you need any help setting up MFL let me know. I run 3 leagues on there. You can also copy another leagues scoring system - makes it a little easier than setting up from scratch.

I wouldn't expect the draft there but I guess if it's a slow draft, it may not matter. If we do a slow draft...I'd prefer not to use my work email for a draft and regular email is blocked at my work along with most fantasy sites. If someone could just post the picks there I could make my picks via the board. If it's all done in one sitting, then that wouldn't matter...just might be tough to do a 25-30 round draft over the internet in one day during the summer at this point.

This is pretty much the only fantasy site not blocked at my work. If we did a slow fraft, I'd need picks posted on our league forearm. I'm also open to doing a 1 day draft via msn or online. We could even create a temporary league on Yahoo/ESPN, do the draft online, and then transfer it all into MFL (if MFL doesn't have online draft capabilities). Either way we need to move pretty quick, because a slow draft could take a month+. The season is only a month and a half away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't seem liked we really rushed, although there were days where we cranked out big chunks...also some slow days, esp. on the weekends. Anyway, it took a little over 3 weeks. I bet this group could jam out a 30 round draft in about three weeks...10 rounds per week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usurpers26 26 Posted July 14, 2008 MFL's online draft room works very well. You can also set it up as an "email" draft where we'd just go to our MFL site when it was our turn and pick, rinse and repeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
