Someone else must have already changed it:

FF-101, know your leagues rules.  Shouldn't be changing the rules just hours before the draft.  

I’m sad fantasy golf is over. It’s so much easier

High and tight. Upstairs and down 

[WhiteWonder 2,308]

wait, how the hell are passing TDs 5?

 

i thought you guys had this under control when you took the reigns.  This was never discussed lol

 

complaining or not, this is why it didn't make sense to me to have someone else create a new league from scratch and NOT start off with the exact same scoring and rules as last year.... then make proposed changes and tweaks based on that.  

I'm going to do a once over and make sure there is not any other weird shiit.

That is why I gave you league powers. Some people like 4 for PATD and some like 6. I figured 5 was a nice middle. 

[bostonlager 2,582]

@WhiteWonder I got drunk 4th of July weekend and started this mess and that is my bad. It's where we are and we have a couple hours to tweak

I get it and appreciate you but last season was 4. No one proposed 5.  There would be no rationale to choosing a middle ground between last years rule and something "some leagues do" 

We already agreed to go to -1 for interceptions instead of -2. Not adding another point per passing TD .  It's been fixed. 

[WhiteWonder 2,308]

and more importantly, do we think everyone is aware the draft is tonight in just under 2 hours? 

Last year was great because everyone showed. No auto drafted teams. Would like to avoid that.

Anyone who has not chimed in recently?

I’m still in for side bets. Hit me up

Half this league is EdEx and we are all misfits. Let’s have some fun

Thank you!

just fixed fumbles lost to -1   and FG Missed to  FG missed 0-39 yards -1.   We never gave -1 to any FG missed, only short ones.

i think int and fumbles lost should be -2 each but the votes or discussion went in favor of -1

I do not see fumbles or lost fumbles as a category.

 

I removed the -1 for missed fgs

i had already removed all FGs missed and changed it to FGs 0-39.

are we not penalizing for any misses? doesnt matter to me, just asking. 

 

also i already fixed fumbles lost.

From my poor memory, I do not recall it being agreed to

[WhiteWonder 2,308]

it was a scoring category last season so it would have been a change to no -1 for short missed field goals, if it was proposed. 

but just leave it as is. no need to penalize kickers if we are reducing the penalties to other positions.

We did a pole about FGs. I like you’re idea of decimal but we got out voted

Yes… we have graduated scoring for length of fg, but -1 was added for misses…. Which I do not recall a majority wanting that

its all good. We had -1 for FG misses from 0-39 last season. I dont remember if it was ever discussed removing it and i know it wasnt part of the votes but it's very minimal... and like i said if we are reducing penalties to QB/WR/RB, might as well do it for the kickers .   I also feel like had there been a vote most people would have said no negatives...  although how can you not want to penalize someone for going Brett Maher?

I agree on penalizing the kickers on missing short FG, but they shouldn't be penalized for missing a 60 yarder as the half expires

[bostonlager 2,582]

Anyone else get the draft dominators from Joe Bryant?

correct, thats why i changed the setting from -1 for all misses to -1 for 0-39.   Bier removed it completely so im just going to leave it like that.

not sure what that is.. if its any sort of pay service for FF, then no.

I used to get the Draft Buddy from FFT years ago, but I haven't in about 10 years

I was joking around. I hate that we have those guys on our forearm now. I’d rather eat sh1t than pay a nickel to the boat maker.

How many beers do I need to pound to catch up?

it would have to exist first 

I have long been of the belief that the only difference between some guys like us and  FF "experts" (Berry, Yates, Eisenberg, etc) including hacks like Joe Bryant  are time and a platform.

It's not our career... but if we wanted to start a FF website and podcast etc etc and put the time into it, we would be no better or worse.

I think it's dumb as fok changing rule right before the draft.  This has been set up for weeks. 

But, I'm for less points for QBs.  

[Bier Meister 1,551]

... so a couple of shots of vodka then
