Thinking out loud

1) Less than 8 full weeks played, full refund

2) 8 full weeks played but season not completed, prizes awarded based on standings

A) record
B) points scored (or "breakdown" in CBS leagues

3) Expanded roster for covid scratches

4) late roster changes for covid scratches (but not too late, maybe a few minutes in) Maybe

5) if a manager can't field a team because of covid scratches, then stats from the makeup game or their next game will count (I think the NFL will do everything possible to prevent this)



The most important changes will be when does a season become official and special roster rules for Covid coverage

It would really help us if the NFL would announce how specifically they are going to handle / announce the Covid scratches.

It would be really helpful if they would have a policy of testing the morning of the game and announce scratches by roughly 9:00 AM so fantasy teams have time to adjust their rosters. And so that we as leagues can make appropriate IR rules.

The NFL has to know how important early notification would be. After all several of the NFL owners have a stake in Draft Kings if I'm not mistaken.

Don't worry my friend, why do you think the NFL enforces injury report rules?

We are having a hard time with this.

A few people from my yearly league wanted to do it over Zoom... we overruled them. They can call in their picks but we are having a normal get together. None of us are older than 35. We've done it for 16 years. Not letting the Chinese fuck over tradition.

It’s crazy. I am in 3 really fun nfl & college pools that I have been doing for over a decade. Not 1 commish has reached out to me yet this season.

it’s probably the main reason I’ve been watching the NFL this last decade

was just telling my wife today I need to find a way to get red zone and then saying if I’m not doing these pools, then I probably don’t care if I get it or not

I am the commish in a keeper league that we’ve been doing for almost 20 years now. Had same core of guys for over 20 years. I just reached out to them 3-4 days ago.

I still have no clue how we’re going to do the rules.

I am still not confident that the season starts in 3 weeks

We are not doing it this season, a 25-year league also. We toyed with expanded rosters and no set lineups, using best-ball format instead. Too much BS late last weekend with 9 teams having false positives was my final straw.
