TheRx 5th Annual $500 Fantasy Football League (2016-2021)

[Willie99]

We're at 8, possibly 9, and will have no problem replacing anyone who leaves

If need be, I can bring in at least 1 outsider, maybe more

I say start recruiting



In 2018 my Two Strike Pool took a step backwards because of increased competition for the high stakes money, went from 16 to like 12 (based on long term memory)

In 2020 that pool surged to 30

I don't quit

Hate to see ya go man. Hope all is well.

 

[birminghambook]

If no playoffs and we go past say week 8 then maybe payout 1/2 of entry to 1st and 2nd or some combination and then refund remaining?

 

[birminghambook]

noooooo. we can expand rosters. Add an addition 5-6 players. Stay in.

 

[theDude24]

Any of the new guys interested, still interested. ?

 

[UNDERDOBS]

Yup, I’m still interested. Let me know

 

[Possum]

Also thedude24 just an fyi your pm box is full

Hi, 1st off hope all is well and staying safe and covid free


2nd on your fantasy league how is it set up. i.e PPR, Regular Scoring, What categories, etc.


Please advise


Thanks

 

[theDude24]

Thanks possum.
just cleared.
non ppr - standard no super flex or anything.

 

[theDude24]

Raven out as well
so 4 open spots.
I am still tbd - if so can let someone else commish and will hand over the league for this year.
going to decide in next few days

otherwise can start filling backups

 

[Willie99]

I'm happy to be commish, let me know ASAP because I'll have some work to do

 

[Heatwave]

Interested if you need 1 for a 12 person league. Not interested in a 10 man league though.

 

[theDude24]

Thanks heatwave - still think we will get to 12
willie - feel free to message anyone else on here that expressed interest.
or any others as well feel free.
I am out of town next 10 days so won’t have much of a chance

can definitely discuss expanding rosters (I am for it) and other rule adjustments that may be needed once we lock in 12. Also can then do survey for draft date

Rule change possibility since there are so many uncertainties for the season, why not add PPR to the league? This way whatever interchangeable parts a team will not be devastated by losing player that may or may not be put on a sick list.

 

[theDude24]

Any others interested here?

 

[Willie99]

I'll start pushing matters next week

 

[birminghambook]

I hope we get to continue the league this year. My suggestions would be:

- Prefer 12 teams but go with 10 if we have to
- Set up clear refund policy if NFL shuts down before week 8. From week 8 on, if there is a shutdown, then league winners are determined by standings. (maybe 1st and 2nd from standings and 3rd place is next highest scoring team?)
- Increase number of bench spots (by at least 3) in order to prepare for eventual quarantines
- Start collecting payments ASAP just to ensure we have a minimum of 10 (again, refunds if league doesn't make. i will be happy to assist commissioner. I have ******, cash app, zelle, venmo, etc.)
- Set a tentative draft date so owners can start making plans
- I like keeping it as non-ppr, but I understand the argument if we need to include ppr or 1/2 pt ppr to ensure we have a larger pool of viable players during the season

Any other thoughts from owners?

 

[Willie99]

I'm in, and we'll make it work

I have a non forum friend that said he'd take a spot, but I'm going for forum guys first

Seems like the Dude is staying

I'll begin recruitment on Monday

 

[Willie99]

Sent PM's to forum members who expressed an interest

Dude, I assume you're in so we're only looking for three. Please confirm

Also, would you mind making me a Co-commissioner? I won't change anything, but I'll help with the invites and filling the league

 

[shale]

I am for increasing bench spots as well. Also big on the PPR for this year. Easier to plug and play in case of the ‘rona hitting players as well as any opt outs that could occur past the opt out deadline of last week.

12 teams as well. Sure there is no problem getting to that number. Would be good to start the payment process along with draft date and order.

 

[theDude24]

Willie - I can make you co commish
but up north for couple weeks and now swamped w work so haven’t been able to give much thought.
Hopefully can wrap up teams.
