CP $100 Fantasy Football League (Update to other thread with rules in thread starter) - Page 4

**doomy3** · 10:28 PM

Alright guys, here is a new thread for the CP $100 Fantasy Football League. The settings are listed below.

Buy-In will be $100 and will be due 1 week before the draft. Please get your payments in earlier than that though, so we can have the draft order generated. I will not have draft order generated before everyone has paid. We will be using Paypal for payments. I have sent payment instructions out to everyone, so please start getting this paid. If you need the instructions again, please let me know.

As soon as everyone has paid, we will have a draft order generated by using a random order generator online (we used one of these last year, and it worked great). Everyone's emails are entered into the system, and everyone receives the email with the draft order direct from the website, so it is fair to everyone.

I will allow the trading of draft picks as well, and ESPN is set up for such.

Now, please send me some entry fees, and let's get this going.

Not yet. Our Commish is looking into it now. I'm going to do some research on it tonight.

Let's get the rules set in stone, start getting money in, and knock all the drama BS off. If this keeps up I'm out also.

The rules are set in stone. The only thing that isn't set is the payout structure, and I figured that we could vote on that once the league fills up. We have plenty of time, man.

I have no problem with that. I was more referring to the scoring system.

I play in a offline Roto league and it is my favorite. If there was an online version on CP I would be most likley down for that.

Although he is a freakin drama queen... Meat did have a point though... Why aren't there 6 teams with top seeds from each division getting 1st round bye's?

I never liked the espn 2 week per playoff matchup deal.
It should be who's hot at the moment and did their homework to know that Manning & co will pack it in early so you have to go with Cassle that week or whatever.
It adds to the excitement.

If we can't get the playoff system the way we want it? Different league?
CBS has a pretty good format even though it is $120 or so... I'd be down for that.
Live draft and we can meet at Buffalo Wild Wings for a draft party. They throw in a shit ton of items to host it for you.

Hootie · 07-27-2010, 02:54 PM

Roto leagues are just as flawed....the best leagues are rotissified h2h like the payout structures I proposed

IMO, the 2 week matchup playoff format is the only way to go as it helps eliminate a fluke knocking out the better team. And as far as divisions go, I am not a fan of that either. If one division is loaded with the 4 best teams, how is it fair to the 4th best team in the league, who doesn't even make the playoffs? That is happening right now in a fantasy baseball league I'm playing in.

Hootie · 07-27-2010, 03:00 PM

The problem with flat out roto is it takes the best part out of ffl....smack talk. Even thr underdog story which is fun too...that's why rotissified h2h is where its at...40 percent of the payout goes to the roto winners...60 goes to the h2h...have the best team and win the league...you get the huge payout you deserve!

So eliminate the divisions....but give the two teams with the best records....week 1 playoff byes.

No offense Meat, but this is supposed to be a men's friendly competition not a bitch fest of who can come up with the most non-traditional methods to keep things creative. I'm not paying $100 for a head to head competition just to get a smaller payout at the expense of a fuggin high scorer when I beat (or didn't beat) his ass during the season.

WTF cares if you scored the most points all year but didn't do it when it really counted?

Either confirm and stfu or I can go elsewhere. Doesn't really matter. You're that ONE GUY! THAT GUY!

Payout should probably be 1-4 with 4 basically getting his $ back.

Overall I pretty much agree with this also. Though I suppose I can see the anguish one might have over scoring the most points throughout the season and then not coming through in the playoffs. Matter of fact I think I was the pts. leader in the league I did last year but came in 3rd in the playoffs and didn't win shit. So I do understand. That being said I'd be okay with the top 4 teams each receiving a payout instead. Or perhaps the 4th team that gets a payout is instead the high pts. leader getting his $ back. I don't, but I'm on bored either way.

This! The 1 week fluke's are a part of the game. It's what happens in the during normal playoffs. No one thought the Jets would advance to the AFC Championship. Every week is a coin toss. Adds to the excitement.

Our playoffs are 2 weeks long per matchup, so unless we start the playoffs 2 weeks earlier than normal, that won't work.

We should prolly vote on the 2 weeks playoff thing... it should be single elim. Streaks/Luck is part of the game.
If this wasn't ESPN, this probably wouldn't even be an issue. It's just stupid for some reason.

That's fine. However, you seem to be the only one with an issue on the 2 week playoff structure. I don't care either way, but it does eliminate flukes.

And, this isn't a standard ESPN setting, this is how I set it up because I prefer 2 week playoffs.
