I’m going to use this thread to fill empty slots for the various leagues I run. You’re welcome to use it for the same purpose.
I’ll overview the various leagues:
Draft: Tuesday Aug 27 at 9pm eastern
In its 8th year. 12 man league. Standard draft. Modified scoring system in various ways. 1/3rd PPR, reworked QB formula to punish mistakes more, scoring defense matters more, various tweaks. Better than stock fantasy scoring systems, not dramatically different though (like an efficiency league would be for instance).
Ideally, it was designed to be a league with our most experienced FFers, with a high level of competition. In practice it’s pretty good but not especially better than some of the other leagues.
Auction
Draft: Thursday August 29 at 9pm eastern
Going into year 7. The main distinguishing feature of this league is the auction draft format. It uses standard yahoo scoring. Ideally we’ll run with 12 players, we had to run with 10 last year due to late cancellations. Which means we’re going to be filling up at least 12 slots. This league actually has a really high level of competition aside from being a pretty standard league.
Draft: Tuesday Sep 3 at 8:30pm eastern
Going into year 5. This league has the yahoo maximum amount of players, 20, and also has large rosters. We end up drafting 300 players, making it far deeper than other leagues. You’ll sometimes have to start third and fourth wide receivers, third down running backs, etc. It makes the league pretty interesting - you have to find value at the bottom of the depth chart.
This league will likely not be recruiting, and if it does it’ll be a very selective process, so it probably won’t be an issue here, but I include it for completeness. In the dynasty league, you can keep your entire roster if you want to. There are deep benches and we draft rookies every year. You’re looking at the multi-year value of players - you get to see rookies blossom into starts on your bench. It’s an interesting and very active league.
Draft: Sunday Sep 1 at 9pm Eastern
Going into year 11. A keeper league with up to 3 keepers. Fairly normal settings otherwise. Lots of history.
Super League of Doom - no thread yet. Not sure if we’re going to resume it this year or try out another idea in its place, I’m going to talk with the league members. It was intended to be an even more exclusive home to the best SDMB players with 6 slots. We drafted basically double sized rosters. Last place finisher would be booted out of the league next year and we’d vote on someone to invite to replace them.
Those are the leagues I’m involved in, if anyone else wants to post about theirs, cool.
So far the only league I know will be recruiting is the auction league, so feel free to post if you’re interested. The other leagues may be recruiting, but it depends on when people show up. I’m going to give people at least another few days after sending out another round of invites. Stay tuned to the thread if you’re interested.
Post your FF history and which leagues you’re interested in.
