BPCFFB League #2

[mross34]

I don't think we should be holding a second draft after the first. How fair is it to the person who gets last pick in a 1-round draft?

Waivers: team with the lowest record should get top waiver spot every week.

Playoffs: 4 Teams / 2 Weeks - The top 4 teams in the league (no divisions)

Flex Option doesn't matter... Who's gonna play a TE?

-Tie Breakers:
Overall Winning %
Total Points Scored
Head-To-Head Wins
Divisional Winning %
Total Points Allowed

That's the luck of a random draft order. We hold a two round draft and everyone gets 2 coaches.

Good point

Why are we trying to make the league more of a matter of luck?

And since when is head coach a position in fantasy football? Who wants a fantasy involving Charlie Cheeseburger or Mangina?

I'm just giving us some more options. No need for the attitude

I definitely appreciate it. I'm just trying to be funny. Obviously I failed.

Since this is the first time I have played in a fantasy league, I will go with whatever the majority wants. However, I really don't think we need to do draft coaches. This draft might never end if we had on more "positions". Anyhow, I want to thank you Mr. Commissioner for upgrading us to premium

 

[jwinslow]

Thanks. Let us know if you want us to kick in like $3-5 to help offset the premium fee.

I'm not a huge fan of head coaches.

Playoffs, I'd prefer at least 4 teams, but think a 3 week playoff would be best. YOu can have 6 or 8, either way make the playoffs a bit more fun.

Eliminating the playoffs and head coaches are a pretty unusual implementation of fantasy. I guess the head coach doesn't change the stats that much, so that wouldn't be horrible... other than the pointed out flaw of drafting late (with no snake back advantage).

Max Accepted waivers processed per week: 10

Is this for the league? Or one person?

How do waivers work? Do I send you my picks, or do them on the website? If it's the former, what if you get on there and try to pick them up yourself after the PM? :p

It doesn't make a big difference to me. If someone wants to contribute, PM me and I can give you my paypal info.

We would have the snake back advantage. We'd make it a two round draft and everyone would get two coaches. I'm not pushing for the coaches at all, just stating what we can do.

I believe it's per person. I'll email them and double check.

You would make your changes on the website. If you drop a player from your team, they are placed on waivers until whatever day of the week we pick. If you want to pick up a player off waivers, you put in the request and then depending your 'rank' on the waivers will determine if you get the player or not. If no one else puts in a waiver request on that player, they are yours no matter what. Waivers are basically intended to give everyone a fair shot at picking up a player.

He is not going to ask for the money but I think we should all kick in a little. The question is how do we get the money to him.

coaches = dumb...

I mean first off you are talking about 1 point/week...Useless IMO...

Then throw in that you are going to be able to drop/add coaches, so say that my two coaches are Urban Meyer and Joe Paterno...Well say that Florida is playing LSU and PSU is playing a cupcake...Easy winner is PSU so you play PSU...Then think that there are about 60 coaches you can pick from...I am pretty sure that you should almost be guaranteed to pick a winner every week, so the points offset each other anyways...

I think the last week/championship needs to be the last weekend of the big ten season...That means that you have all teams from the 6 BCS conferences playing...So if you want a 3 week | 2 week | week playoff just adjust them accoridingly...I would think that 3 week would be best, because with only says 9 week regular season, some teams are going to have an easier regular season and could be unfair and we should prove the winner on the field so to speak in the playoff...

Also another the thing to thing about is for the waiver wire...If say I have 4 guys with a bye for a week, and they are not guys that I want to get rid but, it just happens to be that I need to realease a player on a bye to be able to pick up a player that can actually play that week...There needs to be a rule that no one can pick up that player, as long as you agree that you release the player picked up that week, and pick back up your same player you released...

I have no problem with the waiver wire, but I always had it as if I picked up someone on waivers last week, then I move to the end of the line in terms of priority to pick someone else...So say there are 13 teams...I pick up someone off waivers the first week and no one else does...Then I have priority 13...I could still pick up someone the next week off waivers, but the guy would have to pass thru everyone else in the league, and if he does, then I pick him up and stay at 13...If priority #3 snags the player up, he moves to 13 and I move up to 12...I think record is a bad way, especially when you are talking 2 to 3 weeks into the season, when there will be bunch of teams with the same record...I also think that the order should start out the opposite of the draft order to be fair...

The only need for scoring bonouses would be if we are talking about total points over a season, but since we are head to head every week all that stuff is moot...

Good points. We won't use the coaches.

I'm not a fan of this. If you need to drop someone because of a Bye week, then they're dropped and fair game. It's the players responsibility to check bye weeks during the draft.

I like this, but it might get a little tough to keep track of if people are making a decent amount of moves.

The draft order was random and we can set the waiver wire as random. There's nothing unfair about a random order. There's no influence with it and nothing is taking priority.

Good discussion though guys.

That is a valid point, and how it is how I have always played, albeit NFL, where there are not as many teams on bye weeks, but college football can be odd where there are more teams that have byes...

That is how I have always played and was like the default setting...Is there a setting for waivers?

As for the random...It would only be fair being that if there was one thing with one order than to reverse it right? I understand that it is random, but Litlbuck was last in draft, would it be fair if he ended up last in the waiver wire as well? That is really putting someone up against he 8 ball and what about if the first pick were to end up first again...

Agreed. The way I've always used put the dropee about a day after everyone else for when the dropped player can be picked up. So a player dropped in week 1 is available the following monday for everyone, and tuesday for the dropee.
