Someone step up so we can fill the league...

12 team, H2H, 50 transaction limit...

Will set the draft date and league settings when full...we have a good group right now, need one more player that will be active!

Thanks.

I'm going to withdraw. I know I'll have no interest if this isn't a money league come the summer.

Plus, I think having LF, RF and CF make things interesting. Anyone can grab 3 OF's when it involves no strategy.

Sorry to bail, but I don't enjoy free leagues.

Sunday is good for me, or Monday from about 7:30 PM CST.

Would you rather do it that way? Should we cut down on OF from 5 to 4? or 3?

Right now it's set for a 25 round draft...which will probably take 2-2.5 hours.

25-man roster is fine for 10-team leagues. I think it sucks for 12-team leagues.

I'm also ok with this. This would prevent people from having to start the majority of Royals...that is never a bad thing.

Anyone have objections with duncan's settings? I think they are pretty fair...won't water the league down like a usual 12 team league on standard settings.

Standard fantasy roster, looks fine to me.

Not even for board pride? I agree that free leagues blow when you don't know anyone...but when it is with a bunch of guys you can talk shit to regularly (on ChiefsPlanet in this case) I tend to stay interested...I mean, it's hard to stay active in a money league if you know you don't have a chance after the all-star break...but if I am in a league with people I've played with or know for years, I'll keep plugging away.

That's a 22-man roster. Keeps the player pool in the sweet spot (around 250 players).

oldandslow · 03-25-2009, 03:34 PM

I am more interested in the scoring than the positions...is this a regular 5x5?

R, HR, RBI, AVG, SB

W, K, ERA, S, WhIP

I've done leagues like this in the past, and once someone starts getting busy in the summer, people stop caring.

If my wife wasn't giving birth to our first child this summer, I'd probably do it to keep busy. But without a cash entry, I just know I'll be the dick that doesn't set a lineup for weeks.

Yeah, I think I like the 22 man roster the more and more I look at it...especially for a 12 man league.

Yep.

50 transaction cap for the entire season...once you hit 50, you can't make any more moves via waivers or free agency.

Also, there is a cap on weekly starts...it varies based on short weeks...but most of the time it is 12 or 14 starts every week...it prevents streaming in the playoffs.

Well I wish you'd reconsider, but I understand...that's a lot on your plate.

duncan, if you want to invite your friend, feel free...we really need to get this thing rolling!

I can live with that.

Sorry to hear it but I appreciate you bailing now rather than the middle of the season. That's never good.

And the little one will keep you plenty busy.
