mjdgoldeneye Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll289/mjdgoldeneye/Untitled-3.jpg 2009 ***** Because people have expressed interest in this already, I've decided to open sign-ups and discussion for this year's league now. Everyone who participated last year has been invited back again this year, and I will wait a while for them to ensure they get a chance to participate again this year. Feel free to express your interest in joining as it is likely that a few owners from past seasons may not participate again this year. If you were an owner last year, check the e-mail with which you signed up for the league as you were sent an invite. Ideally, the number of owners I'm looking for is 12. Last year, we had 14, and this year, I'd consider allowing 16 if I knew that every single owner would be able to participate on a constant basis. However, once you have more than 12 owners, the distribution of NFL players becomes quite thin. Also, this year I will be instituting a few tweaks and changes to fix some issues from last year or to simply make things more balanced. Those changes as well as general league info can be found below. New features have an asterisk and changed features have two. League Structure: Owners: EAST Chris Caulfield - Manicio City mjdgoldeneye - Quahog Clams ShadowedFlames - The Phoenix Fire I Effin Rule - Effingham Dukes BHK1978 - The Giants GardnerFTW - Rizzinators Crychon - Grabthar's Hammer WEST nZane - E-Ville Elite Wallbanger - Tagon's Toughs Eisen-verse - Wrath of Eisen masterded - The Living Dead Imarevenant - Come Back Barry Franchise22 - Cobra Kai Lars34 - Quad City Rockers *Divisions: Divisions have been set. As we have 14 teams, there will be 2 divisions of 7, separated as best as I can into actual East/West regions. **Roster Outline: You will need a player for each of the following positions. 1 Quarterback 2 Running Backs 2 Wide Receiver 1 Tight End 1 Kicker 1 Defense/Special Teams 6 Bench Players NOTE: Flex position has been removed as it seems we will have a very large league this year. That'll free up a pretty sizable number of starters. **Scoring Changes: -A passing TD will now result in 4 points as opposed to 6. -There will now be a benchmark bonus system for yardage at each major position. If a player throws for 300 yards in a game, they get a 3 point bonus. For 400, they get 5, and for a record tying/breaking 554 yards or more, they get 15. For rushing, 100 yards = 3 points, 150 = 5, and 296 = 15. For receiving, 100 yards = 3 points, 150 = 5, and 336 = 15. The Draft: The live, online draft is currently set to occur on Saturday, August 22nd, at 3:30 PM EST. However, that will likely change depending on when people are available. Player Management: *Max Weekly Acquisitions: I've made it so you can't acquire more than 6 new players in a given week. I think that's a fairly large buffer to prevent someone going crazy and trying to rehaul their entire team all at once or from trying to hold marathon trading chains. **Waivers: Released players will be placed on waivers for 2 days and waiver order will be determined by the reverse order of the standings. Last place gets first dibs, etc. Can't Cut List: There will be a list of all-star players, determined by Yahoo!, which one may not drop. This is to protect the integrity of the league. You may still trade or bench these players as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowedFlames Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 What the heck. I've been terrible at real-life fantasy football over the last two years; maybe getting into this is worth a shot. /in, if you'll have me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone from last year signs up, you'll be #15. I'll put you on pending until I hear from the owners from last year or I can't get a response. I'll say that the next person to sign-up (so long as I believe they'll be active) will be in as well. Everyone else will have to hope that someone doesn't come back (there will probably be a couple, so no fear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Also, I'm going to try to make regional divisions. So, if whoever signed up doesn't have their location on their profile, can they please post it here? I'll be as accurate as I can. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well, I didn't do too hot last year due to not being able to make the draft, but I'll take another shot... The Nihilists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I didn't check last night, I did though, I'll take care of that now. Decided to go with a different name this year, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Major Change: Roster Outline Due to the fact that we'll likely be having a full league of 16 teams this year, I've removed the flex position from the starting roster. That'll free up 16 players that would otherwise be drafted. Also, there are 4 owners that have not yet returned. They are: Astil jbergey_2005 theoutlaw321 machinesxe Of those, Astil has been a bit busy lately and doing internet things off of his phone, I haven't seen jbergey around, Outlaw seemingly disappeared, and machinesxe is too hard to understand to comment on... So, if no one else joins, we'll be all set with 14 owners once again. However, I think I'll leave the flex position out either way as I found last year's player distribution to be a bit thin. It's not quite fun trying to pick from the likes of Sidney Rice and Jabar Gaffney as starters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Good idea with dropping the flex position. It was fun while it lasted, however, it's not really needed. Hopefully this year we can get everyone to consistently play week in and week out! It was a lot of fun last year. Hopefully we can keep it going this year as well. Looking forward to it!

mjdgoldeneye Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'd be interested in playing this. I can't send you a PM because you must have it set so you don't receive PM's. I need your e-mail address to invite you to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowedFlames Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The reservation period has ended. I'm now PMing the four pending owners so they can be invited to the league. Responded. Now I need a halfway decent-sounding team name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Alright, we have 14 teams. I'm looking for 2 more. I have a friend that will certainly want to join this, so if I can only find one more team, we won't be uneven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbergey_2005 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sorry I didnt see an invite athough I get so much spam I probably missed it. Its not a big deal either way to me, it is fun but I have 5 other $$$ leagues I am in so if someone else wants to play it is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a big deal either way to me, it is fun but I have 5 other $$$ leagues I am in so if someone else wants to play it is fine by me. I was actually just about to say that maybe we should stick with 14 teams. With 16, all 32 starting QB's would probably be on someone's roster, 48 WR's, 48 RB's, etc. If you aren't offended, I may just close the league now.

mjdgoldeneye Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Alright, the league has been set to 14 teams. Sometime soon, I'll try to set up a reasonable drafting time (it'll be hard to get everyone seeing as we've got people all over the place from California to the UK).

mjdgoldeneye Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 After dealing with all sorts of logic-matrix-puzzle type confusion and mathematically logical yet still amazing occurrences, I managed to set up a rivalry system. Each team has a rival team from the opposite division that they will face twice. That means that, with 13 games, each team will have another which they will never face. I intended for things to be this way, but it turns out a lot more math is involved than I figured and I kept hitting walls as far as evening out match ups go. So, I set everyone to face everyone else once. Then, magically, I set week 10 to have the same match ups as week 1 and everything turned out correctly. So, weeks 1 and 10 are rivalry weeks. Because each team's rival is from the opposite division, it's possible to see rivals end up facing each other at the championship. This whole system is largely for flavor, but the fact remains that your rival will have twice as much of an impact on your record compared to any other team. Here's the largely random rivalries. I tried giving them clever tag lines. I mostly failed... Manicio City v E-Ville Elite - The City vs. The Town The Living Dead v The Giants - Fictional Humanoids Face Off! Come Back Barry v The Phoenix Fire - The Phoenix Will Be Reborn, But Will Barry? Effingham Dukes v Tagon's Toughs - Royalty vs. Rough-necks Cobra Kai v Quahog Clams - Hard K Sounds ASSSSEMMMBLE! Quad City Rockers v Grabthar's Hammer - River Folk vs. ...Vague Movie Reference? Rizzinators v The Wrath of Eisen - The Riz vs. The Wrath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
