Official SB Fantasy Football League - sign up details + rules debate

[dankhank]

in then, thought it was a 10 team league

I think you should have 100(high) 25-50(low) and a free league.

Not that the money is a big deal, but it's not worth the hassle of trying to move just 10 dollars onto a brand new site and I think that's reflected in that only 1 person wants that.

Said that, I'll play in a free league, because when pride is on the line, the money doesn't even matter. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Is anyone interested in a 200- 500 dollar league? PM me if so.

Just so none of you start thinking "Gah, I make so much money from sports betting I'll waste some of it!"

Yeah we'll take interested sign ups all the way - if it ends up we've got 20-24 interested in the "high stakes" league we'll run two divisions of 10-12.

If the consensus is that the low stakes league should be free, we can go that direction. I'd be willing to take transfers on all the poker sites plus neteller plus paypal, so we shouldn't have too much trouble moving money around.

Good idea, AnyAce.

OK we've definately got enough interest, so I'm retooling this thread. I've updated the Original Post up top with the interest list as well as the suggest rules.

The rules are up for debate of course. I suggest reading the Sports Guy article I linked there, which talks about ways to improve traditional FFLs for some interesting ideas.

I'm hesitant to even post this because if everyone starts nitpicking every category it won't be fun for you to moderate, but since you said it's up for debate I propose these changes...

Every 30 passing yards: 1 point
Every 10 rushing yards: 1 point
Every 10 receiving yards: 1 point

In fact, these may have been the default settings for last years Yahoo fantasy leagues if I remember correctly. Either way, it leads to more scoring and it won't hurt you as badly if you're back or reciever doesn't make it into the endzone on a weekly basis. Especially helps if we end up fielding 12 to 14 teams where the talent pool drys up quickly and you're forces to start weaker players.

[Performify]

I'm ok with the suggestion. Anyone else?

The balance yahoo suggests is 2.5:1 value of rush/receive to pass. We use 2:1 in the most popular league that I run. You're suggesting 3:1. We might want to go every 25 passing yards: 1 as a comprise value in between

You're making a touchdown worth 60 yards rushing/receiving. that sounds like an acceptable balance. Their default of 120 yards = TD is definately too high.

Hawklet-

What site do you have money on? I can cover your buy in on stars if you have money you can send me on iPoker or FTP.

Perform-

I'll play $100 if there aren't enough for the 50.
