I don't think I'm in favor of doing anything different with the playoffs in this league. We already are allowing half the field to make to the postseason. If somebody can't have the 6th-best record they don't belong in the playoffs.
The only change I would vote in favor of is adding another Flex position (for a total of two Flexes). Having said that, I don't think this league needs any changes at all. Between our classic league and this one with all the fixin's, we've got the fantasy football world pretty much covered. |

Guys, this keeper league already lets in half of all the teams into the playoffs. Half of them.
You really think teams with records in the bottom 7-12 spots should also make the playoffs? |

View Quote The worse teams deserve a shot at the number one draft spot, you really are not arguing that are you? A system that employs reward for winning the consolation round with the number one draft pick for next season would not be rewarding anyone with a monetary gift for not doing well, just the opposite in fact, it would offer a chance for one of the lousier teams to become better next season. On top of that it would allow 6 other guys to continue on for a few weeks enjoying fantasy football. Is there really anything wrong with that? It does not touch the prize money for the teams that do well It keeps everyone into the league for the full season It offers another aspect of fun for the league and owners I see it as a win/win. If you don't like the number one draft spot, then you could reward an extra keeper spot for no money or a reduced amount. So the team that wins the consolation round gets to keep 3 players instead of 2. |

You could reward the winner of the consolation bracket with one kept player @ zero inflation. Or two. I don't think you can manually set one GMs auction budget higher than the others.
Any incentive to keep people from quitting when they're out of the playoffs would be good. The alternative would be to simply eliminate the consolation bracket. |

That's bullshit. We're talking bullshit solutions to bullshit problems. I'd agree that elimination of the consolation bracket is a simple solution to the sandbagging that's going on right now. With no draft order consequences, the consolation bracket in its current form is utterly pointless. Right now we have GMs trying to win games in the consolation bracket just for the fun of it while other GMs are starting inactive players or simply ignoring their teams. If you're going to schedule the games, it would be nice to see people trying to compete. Draft (nomination) order means nothing, IMO. Given a choice between incentives for the consolation bracket (cash prize, some draft value benefit, free ammo from AIM Surplus, whatever) and the elimination of the consolation bracket entirely, I'm not sure how I'd vote. |
|
Right now nominating first in the auction is actually a disadvantage because it puts you at the end of the waiver order. Since everyone has a shot at the same players, other than keepers, I would obviously rather nominate last the way it stands now.
The waiver system is a bigger issue because it seems like it is set up for a regular draft league rather than an auction. Changes to the consolation bracket don't really concern me. I would just hate to see changes to how the top 6 spots are decided. |

Aside from GhostFly's other 199 point week (week 9), my 189 this week would have beaten any other single week performance in the league this year.

Down by nearly 35 going into the late game with Antonio Brown active, I wasn't exactly confident but I though I might have an outside shot - this being PPR and all... Brown put up a very respectable 23.7 but it just wasn't enough. Nick Foles is the keeper steal of the year, no doubt about it. It's rare to see a repeat champ in any league, it'll be interesting to see how next weekend shakes out. |

Just want to give y'all a heads up. My wife had an emergency c-section last night at 28 weeks. I'm going to try to keep up with my roster and games each week but I'm going to be pretty busy over the next 2-3 months while the kids are in the NICU. Family comes first and we'll keep everyone in our prayers. I'll keep an eye on your team each Sunday AM and if I see a player in your lineup who is on bye that week by 12:45pm, I will sub in the player on your team that fits that position with the most projected points for the week. Does anyone have a problem with that? This obviously is an extenuating circumstance, but at the same time we do not want to hand out wins each week to PA's opponent. Still have one kid in the NICU and one at home which has just made my life more hectic. I've tried to keep up but FF but it obviously isn't a priority. If this is a problem, drop me from the league. |

I get where your coming from and I do apologize. I can access arfcom from work but FF and other game type sites are blocked. That's where I do the majority of my web surfing and is why I post on here regularly. I thought I was out of the playoffs and when my daughter came home 3 weeks ago it really complicated our lives. I haven't really paid attention to any of it except when I get an email about a new post to this thread. Hell, I barely get to watch any football at all. No one said anything sooner so I didn't bother checking my line ups. |

We need to decide on any rule changes.
Personally, I'm fine with the way the league is currently constituted, but could vote in favor of a few limited changes like adding a WR/TE FLEX position and upping the buy-in fee to $100 (I'm not saying we SHOULD increase the fee, I'm saying I could conceivably vote in favor of an increase). Payout structure could be something like this: Total fee revenue: $1,200 League Champion: $750 Runner-up: $200 3rd place: $100 Most points at end of regular season: $100 Highest single week point total: $50 |
