Rx-Only $100 FFB League

[HarryCaray]

Don't want to step on any toes, but the $500 league is too rich for my blood. I'd really like to play in a league with some of the regular posters around here though. You know who you are.

My thought is something like $100, $150 depending on number of players. Would do 8, 10, or 12 player. Might even be fun to do a keeper league to keep it going year to year.

Who would be interested?

Thoughts on rules? Specifically admission rules. Only want it to be established posters; if we can't fill another league then I'm not really interested.

I'm interested with the right posters. Say we just take a vote for members.
Standard 10 team/$100-$250 entry is pretty ideal.
But not really keen on the keeper part.

You're in. No keepers then.

I can see you've been around for quite awhile. Was looking to target some of the more active posters, but I won't rule it out. Can we call you an alternate for now?

 

[mrwho]

yea that's fine. i'm already in a couple of leagues so it wont kill me if you guys have enough. just let me know.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Cool idea but I'm going to pass. In enough leagues as is.

 

[aceduecetrey]

$100? Is that the deal? If so, I am in. I would like to suggest an auction draft. I finally did my first auction last year and they are the way to go.

Yeah, $100 main entry. I am open on how we do the draft. I prefer snake, but whatever.

I was thinking about trying to do some other stuff to make the league a little more unique. Not married to any of these ideas, just throwing them out there.

1. I've been in several total points leagues, where you don't play anyone head to head, no playoffs...standings are just based on total points. League goes all the way through week 17. I always thought it was a lot of fun. It sucks to be in a h2h league and be 2nd in the league in points and have a 3-7 record and be out of the playoff hunt.

2. Another thing I've always liked is awarding a prize to each week's high points. If we had a 10 person league, everyone could pay the $100 entry fee, plus $5/week towards weekly high points. So it would be 185 total. Then the high points for each week wins $50. What I always liked about this is that you keep the cellar-dwellers interested all season.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

 

[aceduecetrey]

I like both of those ideas. I played in a league for a long time that just does total points and I liked it better than head to head, but whatever everyone wants, I am in.

I also like the extra weekly prizes. What I have done in the past is do it by position. So basically week 1 the highest scoring qb (who was started) gets the cash. Week 2, the highest scoring Rb (who was started), so on and so on.

if you really want to bid a pot, you can do real cash blind bidding on waivers.

I'd like to cap it at 10, I prefer to have stacked teams. Few more spots here and then we'll start talking rules.

[HarryCaray]

All good, I'm glad you bumped the thread.

 

[HarryCaray]

Just need a few more players to make 10, but honestly I'm not opposed to doing 8 either.
