bull62 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Check out the EA sports. I'm looking at it right now for a league I've commished the last few years. It's free for a full blown commished league and looks to have all of the same functionality as sportsline. We've used sportsline for the last few years but will probably switch this year just to get that $130 in the prize pool. If you just set up a free private league, you have no control over rules, scoring system, etc. http://mwww.xosn.com/HomePage.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=70210 Link to post Share on other sites
Naismith 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 OMG....did somebody say Fantasy Football? The only thing that I have spent an unearthly time on other than poker for the last 5 years!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!1. Down for $200+2. Payouts to only top 2 isn't best idea...I have tons of leagues and structures that can be looked at.3. Prefer perfomance type league (1 pt 10 yds rush/rec. 1 pt. per catch....etc). Most people play this way anyway....I just won't do a TD only type league.4. Would think drafting is a much better idea closer to season....likely a Sunday draft works for many since many that have shown interest play poker online anyway that day.Agreed with everything above except I don't care if it's 100+, 200+, whatever.As per line 3, I'd prefer that we really work out the details of the stats in advance because some of the default settings really suck. We've always done decimal points so that 97 yards = 9.7 > 93 yards = 9.2. As for part 4, I assume we're all talking about a live draft and not one where you prerank the players. I hate the preranked ones.Breakdown of starters...In my real life league, we've always done QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, DEF. We added an extra WR because they're typically not as valuable as the RBs and it increased their value at draft time. Oh, which brings me to the teams...I think 14 is too many. It really dilutes the talent. If it's 12 or 14, the playoffs should be top 6. That's the biggest advantage you can give to the best regular season teams shy of an actual payout...playoff byes. Lastly, championship game needs to be set for week 14 or 15. Nothing worse than getting to the championship game and having Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison sit out because the Colts clinched homefield advantage two weeks prior.I don't care who holds the money or whatever. Preferably, there would be at least one person who accepts PayPal since that's the easiest way for me to get money.Also, I may have rambled a bit during this. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 14 player league = G H E Y10 is optimal, never over 12!And before anyone flames me for me response I have been paying fantasy football since 1989 and been in many league, 14 is not sustainable, just not fair to the person who gets 14th and 15th picks.

WhatArunAA 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 I agree that Yahoo fantasy football should be the venue that we use... Adam do you know how to work the Yahoo draft.. ive done it a few times on yahoo and everything has went perfect... CBS sportsline would be cool because there is different divisions.. if someone wants to step up and make a scoring standard and all that we can get this going so we can set up a draft date.. we will be able to do a later draft date but the longer we wait the less draft times will be available.

The sunday before the season starts at 1:30 pacific time. CBS format sucks and there server sucks also, that is why it is set up on yahoo.All league details are on the middle of the 2nd page.

Vick12 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hey all1st...In agreement w/ Hoos, Naismith, Whatarunaa etc...Ryan I am SURE u are a great guy and all, but w/o being a "known/trusted" FCP member I would like someone else to hold the money. If people want me to hold it I am fine with it. I would think Hoosier has a bit more FCP clout than me, so if we want him to hold the $$ I am fine w/ that.2nd....TJ...I have done both Yahoo and CBS. Yahoo is likely better for an online type draft since I don't think we can get more than U, me, and Hoos together for a live draft. So if Ryan has set up a site already, I'm not opposed to using that site.3rd....Commish...again i will do it if that's what makes people comfortable. I think TJ should be the commish since it's his idea, but I have no problem running the league if that is what is wanted by everyone. 4th...I have reconsidered the idea of draft date. I think we are actually better off doing it on an evening during the week. W/ people having other Fantasy drafts etc. on weekends....for an online draft a weeknight is prolly better. I am TOTALLY flexible on this, but I do have a few dates already booked on my end.5th...Naismith I agree on decimal scoring. I didn't want to come across as too anal/nerdy in regards to point scoring...then I remembered I am in a league of POKER PLAYERS who live to exploit small edges and love numbers!I am pretty stoked about this! With guys that I like/respect like Gil, Hoos, What, Nais, Rdog....this could turn into something really good!!!WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE back over 5 leagues again!!!!!!Oh...Happy 1500 posts for me!!!!
