TP NFL Fantasy Football

[Aequitas58]

One week and (basically) one hour away until draft time.

Who's already in for the $10 side bet?

EDIT: I agree w/ TP's point changes except for the QB point / pass yards. I prefer 1pt. / 30 yds or even 1pt. / 20 yds. Whoever is running this thing... if you make point changes, please post them before the draft date.

Yeah, we remember how ridiculous the league was set up last year, where sucko guys like Favre were still scoring more than 2 RBs per week, despite throwing 3 or 4 picks per game.

At 1 point per 50, a 300 year game = 6 points. That's similar to a 100 yard game for RBs/WRs, which at 1 point per 20 = 5 points. In other words, it's balanced.

When a few RBs are running for 300 yards per week, I'l agree we should score them equally with QBs, but until then, this is fair.

I This the final set of settings for the league, or are more being made?

Also, are we actually doing the $10 pool? If so I will send money to TP on Tuesday (assuming my dentist doesn't give me any bad news...)

I vote to get rid of the W/R position. Anyone else?

[lightfungus]

In such a big league, I don't see removing W/R as a problem and I kinda like the idea. If anyone else agrees, I will be happy to axe it.

On a side note, I just signed up for intraural flag football at 9:15 on wednesday, and thus will be missing the draft....unless you guys don't mind me bumping it to 10:30. If this is a horrible idea let me know. I just did a 14 person draft with about the same amount of rounds and it took like an hour and 30 minutes so it wasn't too bad. Lemme know, thanks.

[Talking Poker]

I can do 10:30, but you better make sure everyone else can too.

And I'm more than willing to lose the W/R position... I thought you guys liked that stuff. I'm a purist.

[kmb13592]

What is this position, a wide reciever or running back slot?

[lightfungus]

Yes.

[Aequitas58]

I'm fine with 10:30 pm. More people have to speak up. Why do I have a feeling that 3-5 of the people already in the league aren't going to follow it... (making it annoying for the players who do participate.)

And I'd really like to know:

(i) if we're doing the $10 bet, and
(ii) if we're getting rid of W/R.
