PP Fantasy Football League

[pastapadre]

So I've set up a league for the site. If you're interested drop your email address and I'll send over the invite. Please do so only if you'll be active throughout the season. Inactive owners ruin the experience for everyone else.

A few details:

-League is through EA FF (completely free including live scoring)
-16 teams
-Live Draft currently set for Sun Sept 2nd at 5:30 ET. This could be changed.
-Havent adjusted scoring or roster positions yet
-Bidding system using mock $ to claim free agents off waivers
-Regular season will end at week 12. Playoffs will be week 13 & 14. Championship will be over two weeks (15&16). 4 division winners and 4 wild cards will make the playoffs.
-There will be a prize to the winner. Currently undetermined.

Only 4 spots left.

Pasta, 16 teams seem like a bit much?

Yeah its going to make for a relatively deep league. I'm ok with 12, 14, or 15 if thats what people want though.

[MannyBeltre]

12 please. I didn't see that at the beginning.

[BME]

I'd be more then happy to join, if it's a 12 team league. 16 people just seems so deep, and not to enjoyable.

Just my take, from years of FF play. We all have our own point of views though.

Pasta, if that one is filling up.

I wouldn't mind opening one up on Yahoo and running one.. 10 or 12 team league.

[pastapadre]

Yeah I'm going to go through this and try and rearrange things and set the owners for good. I'll post up probably on Tuesday once I've got everything settled. Then you'll have a better idea for that 2nd league.

Yeah, I'll definately set up a second league if there are enough extra players.

Or, I can just join you in the main league, and someone else can run another one. Whatever works out.

[giantgator09]

I'd love to do one.

[aaronsharrow]

If I am allowed to play in this I would, I love to play Fantasy Football, especially against people who knows the game. My email is asrabbit91@yahoo.com

[Fatal1ty]

There are 20 members currently interested to sign up for the PP Fantasy Football League. If we can get two more members to show interest, than either BME or I can start a second league.

[pastapadre]

So I have rearranged the league which includes the owners involved. Since I trimmed down the # of teams I had to give precendent to some of the guys who have been around for a while. So if you were previously in and not anymore, I apologize for that. However I'm glad to see that there will probably be a 2nd league so no one gets left out.

[Fatal1ty]

Are you going to send out E-mails or are you just going to post the teams here? If you want, I'll start a second leaguen granted we have enough players.

[giantgator09]

If we need two more players to start another league, I should be able to find participants.

[Fatal1ty]

I'm going to set up another league once Pasta reveals who's in the first league. We have 21 players signed-up for the first league, so I'm just waiting for the list of the players who made it.

5 pt pass td? 8 pt rush/rec td?

[pastapadre]

5 pt pass td? 8 pt rush/rec td?

I think thats a good starting point, close to where it needs to be.

Lets say these are average performances from a good player at each position...

QB
250 yards 2 TDs
= 20 points

RB
110 yards 1 TD
= 19 points

WR
90 yards 1 TD
= 17 points

So maybe we could tweak it a little bit, but it seems to come in pretty close to being balanced. One thing to consider might be how RBs are able to rack up points through receptions and yards but WRs rarely get that extra opportunity to gain points on rushing. So I think maybe going towards 1 point for 12 yards rushing (instead of 10) and 1 point for every 9 yards receiving (instead of 10) could work.

[BME]

Is everyone going to be making this?

[Terrorblaze]

lol i sort of forgot about this, hopefully ppl remember and show up

[pastapadre]
