I could do this by hand but why?
I’m looking to start a league at work but there are some tweeks I would like to be able to make like:
On a touchdown pass: 3 points to the QB, 3 points to the receiver
2 conferences with 5 teams each. You play teams in your conference twice and teams in the other conference once
Top two from each conference go to the playoffs
During the playoffs you use your top score of the two weeks, not the total
Instituting a hard trade deadline like after week 8.
And of course the standard online interface with the ease of changing the lineup, adding players, trades, auction (not snake BS) draft, etc.
I’m in a fantasy league via ESPN, and I know that there are a lot of customizations you can do for scoring and scheduling, and a trade deadline. Might be worth looking into whether you can do everything you’d like there.
I’m not sure what you mean by this – like if your team scores 100, 105, 90, and 95 in weeks 14-17, you’d score 105 in the semifinals and 95 in the finals/third place game? ESPN lets you advance whoever you want in the playoffs, so that could be done by hand if you wish.
I do know that ESPN definitely lets you do everything else you mention. You may have to enter the schedule yourself, though. (My league has the same schedule as yours; if you want/need a template, I can give you mine.)
**On a touchdown pass: 3 points to the QB, 3 points to the receiver
**Adjusting scoring is a standard feature of any major fantasy provider. But why? Tinkering with standard scoring does nothing but make fantasy advice/columns/articles/podcasts/etc. largely irrelevant. That can be really frustrating to more casual players in the league, and highly beneficial to the commish who designs it, as he or she likely has some sort of player or position in mind that is going to be undervalued (or overvalued) as a result. It’s not necessary, IMO.
**2 conferences with 5 teams each. You play teams in your conference twice and teams in the other conference once
**I’ve set up conferences (divisions, in fact) and manual schedules in both Yahoo and ESPN.
**Top two from each conference go to the playoffs
**Same as above. But I will say that with a small league of 10 teams, that’s not as fun of an idea as it sounds. That pushes your finals into Week 17, which should really be avoided at all costs in fantasy. Far too many players get benched, and it’s a nightmare for fantasy owners. Maybe do one week for the first round, 2 weeks for the second? I’m not sure if Yahoo/ESPN can do that, but it’s likely.
**Instituting a hard trade deadline like after week 8.
**That’s usually pretty standard.
