Hang on let me check my team for NFCE players The Official Calvin Ball Rules in the OP

Anubis posted:

7. For the sake of the GM's sanity, rules should be declared between the last whistle of Monday after Sunday night football and to dusk on Wednesday, when our mothers call us in to take a bath. New rule changes won't take effect until after the previous week (Monday Night Football) is done and ESPN has a chance to put in any scoring changes Tuesday morning. (I noticed last season restricting it to Tuesday and Wednesday was getting cramped. Be sure to declare the week number that you are changing a rule for so people don't get confused.)

OK we'll allow it for this week as a first time warning thing but int he future all rules will need to be submitted by Wednesday night

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

I lost either way this week so it won't matter, but curious for future weeks. Since I'm living in Japan timezones make it a bit tough to check at the last minute changes to Out for day games.

If a player has status changed to Out after say 9am EST (10pm here, 11pm after time change) for the noon or afternoon games, would anyone be opposed to me putting in another starter if I have one available for a later game?

In my main league I normally e-mail the commish ahead of time and say something like "hey, player A is potentially out, if they get pulled can you swap in player B from the bench?"

If Fight Club Sandwich agrees, and no other players have too big of an objection, I could manage a special dispensation for you moving forward, if you post it in the thread for all to see and you have the other player on your bench already.

These rules basically cancel each other out. ESPN or at least the league we have set up does not allow QBs in the flex slot - in essence, Marshmallow Blue opened up the 2nd QB slot and Baldrash closed the 1st QB slot so everyone starts 1 QB this week.

ESPN can't give points for a 40 YD reception that doesn't get into the endzone. I've implemented as 40+ YD TD REC for now but let me know if you want to change

I knew that ESPN had some sort of 40 yard reception stat.

Works for me, if you can't find the end zone after 40 yards. I don't want you to be on my team.

Being a man of action, I cannot afford to take that risk.

Men of action don't risk falling short of the goal, they give it their all! Interceptions and Fumbles are worth 1000 points each (or whatever the maximum is).

Is the for defenses or offensive players? I can't tell if you are rewarding coughing up the ball or if you are rewarding the defense for takeaways and in this league it could go either way. Based on the forced fumble rule I'm assuming it's the offensive players getting rewarded for risk taking.

how does that work, exactly? if I have Danny Woodhead on my team he gets 500 if the Chargers win, or loses 500 if they lose, in addition to all the other categories?
