Do you carry around an abacus? How are you counting into the 120s in your head anyways?

It's a hell of of a lot easier to slide on the abacus when points aren't weighted to position.

I'm not sure, but I also don't believe that 4 is standard in all leagues either. Yahoo is probably the worst platform for fantasy, imo.

One humble suggestion I would throw out there is less that 90seconds per pick. 12 team 1.5 min per pick makes for a long draft...

I 2nd this

 

[IrishLion]

ESPN standard scoring for TD passes is 4 points too I believe.

Idc either way though.

Also, is standard passing yardage 1 point per 25 yards?

Yessir.

Also 4 pts is standard everywhere for qb tds. Woolly you're smoking something. 6 pts sucks for qb tds IMO, changes the whole dynamic of the league and of the draft. I've done it and will again if y'all want, but it pretty much makes it a qb driven draft.

Thursday isn't great for me and one other for sure. Is there a better time tomorrow for you?

I can do earlier in the night. I have something at 10:30. If it works for everyone else I can cancel, but would want to do it if another time worked for everyone.

 

[IrishLion]

IF it's 6 points for passing TD's, Rodgers and Luck move to the top the board ASAP.

 

[Ironman8]

I created a poll for the league for these items. Majority on each wins?

 

[ShakeDown]

Voted for both times, because either works for me.

 

[gkIrish]

standard fantasy scoring is 4 points for QB td. I see no reason to change that. I'm good with PPR or .5 ppr or whatever

 

[woolybug25]

There are 2-3 QBs worth a 1st round pick in a 6 pt league. Do what y'all want... I'm just telling you that all of the seasoned leagues I know give em 6.

This is coming from a dude that is anti bonus points, etc. Make TD's what they are...

Good idea!

So one more person needs to vote?

And everyone is signed up, so we're good on that front.

Voted and I was probably the last person! Let's get this started!

Alright so draft tomorrow night at 10:15, 4 points for QB TD, no bonuses, and .5 ppr.

Agreed. Did we finalize positions? The last league had 3 WR and a flex but I think we all agreed it would be better to just do 3 WR or 2 WR with a flex. I have no strong opinion and am fine keeping it the way it is.

3WR and a flex for a 12 man league gets really thin really quickly. I'd say 2 and a flex or 3WR. In other words, I agree with you.

I also vote that we get rid of the IR spot since this is a keeper league. If you want to draft someone that's already out for the year so you can stash them you shouldn't be able to just put them on the IR.

There should be a stronger disadvantage to stashing.

Also there should be 6 playoff teams IMO. Top 2 get byes. Pot of $240 dollars could be split 80 for regular season winner, 120 for playoffs winner, and 40 for playoffs second place. This keeps the regular season valuable while giving 6 teams a shot at the other part of the pot. And of course the top 2 also get the ever valuable byes.

So going forward

1/3 to regular season winner.
50% to playoffs
Remainder to second place (playoffs)

2WR/flex and no IR

2WR/flex and no IR

What both of these guys said.

 

[Irish Insanity]

2WR/flex and no IR

Agree

 

[Ironman8]

I actually like the 3 WR and Flex. If it's a keeper league for money I like deeper rosters and starters. Rewards better / more attentive managers that way.

 

[Ironman8]

Also, if it is a keeper league, I think there should be one IR spot. If you lose your first round pick this year early on, you should be able to keep him next year if you so choose. IR spot helps you do that.

I just worry about the free agent pool being thin. That extra roster spot for each of us could actually make the waiver wire essentially useless for those with late priority, whether they're trying to make a good move or not.

*As Wiz says, though, this isn't a make-or-break for me.

I don't see anyone keeping a first round pick next year that has a season-ending injury. What will actually happen with the IR spot is that someone is going to draft Jordy Nelson in the 11th round and stash him there. That's not the point of a keeper.

I understand what you're saying but the draft gets really thin with 12 managers. I just had a draft with 10 guys the other day and by the 10th round you were lucky to find a starter on the Jags. I don't foresee a lack of strategy or anything if we limit to 2 WR and a flex. I would prefer a flex WR/TE as opposed to WR/RB/TE while we are on the topic. 12 man leagues that allow a 3rd RB in the flex aren't that fun because the RBs get overvalued.

To sum up, I think a 3 WR no flex or 2 WR + WR/TE flex is the way to go in that it normalizes the value of the QB, RB and WRs. Anything else skews in favor of RBs.

 

[wizards8507]

Can we just decide this one way or the other definitively before like 5:00? I think last year we waited until we were already drafting before people chimed in that they wanted a flex.

PPR combats that a bit.

I'm going to attempt to start a new poll. I took a screenshot of the current one so we know what's going on.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I like the flex, 2 wr, 2 rb, 1 te format. If you want to roll with any of those 3 as a flex, feel free. But give us others an option to chose a different position.

It's not letting me edit. So scratch that.
