Rules What is Promotion / Relegation? Wikipedia posted:In sports leagues, promotion and relegation is a process where teams are transferred between two divisions based on their performance for the completed season. The best-ranked teams in the lower division are promoted to the division above, and the worst-ranked teams in the higher division are relegated to the division below. Tier A (the Tier Jerkers) is a keeper league. Tier B (the Trail of Tiers) is a redraft league. Sucks to be in Tier B. Buyin: $20 Website: ESPN Tiers: 2 # of teams per tier: 12 # of teams promoted each year: 3 winners of a 6 team playoff # of teams relegated each year: 3 losers of a 4 team playoff Each tier has a separate, but equal, payout Roster: QB 2 RB 2 WR TE FLEX K 1 DL 2 LB 2 DB DFLEX 7 BN IR Scoring: 0.5 PPR, otherwise ESPN Standard IDP Scoring for 2014 quote:Tackle Solo: 1 IDP Scoring for 2015 and beyond quote:Tackle Solo: 1 Payout Each tier has a separate, but equal, payout quote:1st place: $115 Keeper System quote:A) Every keeper has a one round penalty. Example: code:Every year at least three teams in Tier A will be disbanded. The players comprising their rosters will be put into one large player pool. Teams from Tier B will be promoted to take their place, and they will be able to select keepers from the player pool in a supplemental draft. Any players selected in the supplemental draft will retain the same value they would have if they were kept by their previous owner. For example, if a relegated team drafted Andrew Luck in the 14th round, drafting Andrew Luck in the supplemental draft would let the new owner keep him in the 13th round (barring any other penalties). Owners will have an unlimited number of picks in the supplemental draft, but their keepers must abide by the same keepers rules as the rest of the league. Once every owner opts out of the draft, and the commissioner determines that their keepers adhere to the league's keeper rules, the supplemental draft is over. The supplemental draft will be in order of their finish in Tier B. The draft will snake. Draft Order The first year the draft order will be randomized. After that, the two tiers will follow the following draft order: Tier A 1: 1st place Tier B 2: 2nd place Tier B 3: 3rd place Tier B 4: 9th place Tier A 5: 8th place Tier A etc, etc Tier B 1: 10th place Tier A 2: 11th place Tier A 3: 12th place Tier A 4: 12th place Tier B 5: 11th place Tier B etc, etc The draft will snake. Every attempt will be made to accommodate a live draft. Trades Trades will now process instantly. I'll obviously reserve the right to veto extreme attempts at collusion / cheating. We've got a good group of people here, so I doubt it'll ever come to that. Trade Draft Picks At Your Own Risk Future draft picks can be traded in Tier A. However, keep in mind that the draft picks of a relegated team are valueless. Furthermore, if you trade your own future draft pick to a team, your rights to that draft pick are forfeited (even if that team is then later relegated). Ties During the regular season, matchups can result in a tie. It's not very likely because we're using fractional points, but I've seen it happen before. Overall record determines playoff seeding. Ties will be broken in the following order: - Points For (season) - Points Against (season) - Coin flip During the playoffs, ties will be broken in the following order: - Points For (season) - Points Against (season) - Coin flip Relegation Cannot Be Avoided If someone in Tier A decides not to continue on next season for whatever reason, their roster will join the player pool for the supplemental draft and an additional team from Tier B will be promoted to take their place. Edit 7/14/14 - Voted changes to IDP scoring. Edit 8/27/14 - Removed 48 hour trade window Zypher fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Aug 28, 2014 |

 July is here! That means keepers, league dues, and draft dates.
Gonna try using Doodle to schedule our two drafts. If you don't know how to use Doodle, it's pretty straightforward. Just click the link below for the Tier you're in, enter your user name where it says "your name," and click which times work for you. (Yes) means that you can make it if you have to, but you'd rather not do that day/time. I also included a 12:00 PM option and a 5:00 PM option for each day. Those times aren't set in stone... just wanted to give an earlier in the day and a later in the day option. Tier A: http://doodle.com/ramgy9ak2vwie7iu (No 8/16 & 8/17 because I can't make that weekend) Tier B: http://doodle.com/c2skezvmsmnhqg5w Don't forget to enter your user name before you submit

Preseason week 3 is Aug. 21-24 so anyone that picks before that loves losing their best players to injuries.

Half of Tier A has filled out the poll, and right now Sunday Aug 31st (early or late) is the only date that works for everyone. Suave Fedora posted:You're on the West coast, huh?

I whittled down the options in the Tier A poll based on answers I've already received. Still waiting on Tier A draft date feedback from: old dog child my lovely cat chen kinichi And I haven't heard from most of Tier B, but that's OK because they're still coping with the five stages of loss and grief.

Zypher my payment might not have gone through as US Bank took over Charter One and they hosed with the account numbers. Paypal says it went through though so let me know one way or another.

Looks like the Paypal went through just fine. Did you mean to choose no for every poll option for draft date?

Poll taken and money sent. Unless someone high up on my keeper list has something happen my opinion on the poll shouldn't be taken too highly, since I just have to pick up a few defensive players, a kicker and maybe a sleeper or two.

One topic we haven't broached during the offseason: how do we feel about the current IDP scoring settings? For a number of people this was their first IDP league, and partially because of that, the IDP scoring was set very conservatively. I was just looking at last seasons numbers, however, and the top scoring linebackers were roughly on par with the top scoring kickers. Personally, I think we could stand to adjust those numbers slightly. We're especially using a very low number of points for tackles and assisted tackles. Current IDP Solo tackles: 0.85 Assisted tackes: 0.43 Stuffs: 0.65   Lavonte David, highest scoring LB/IDP, finished 66th highest scoring player overall. Stephen Gostkowski was 61st. Solo tackles worth 1 pt Solo tackles: 1 Assisted tackles: 0.5 Stuffs: 1  Lavonte David, highest scoring LB/IDP, becomes the 50th highest scoring player overall Solo tackles worth 1.25 pts Solo tackles: 1.25 Assisted tackles: 0.5 Stuffs: 1  Lavonte David, highest scoring LB/IDP, becomes the 38th highest scoring player overall -- Thoughts? Concerns?

Option 2 sounds best really. It makes the IDPs more relevant.
