S1 Thread S2 S3 S4


...And we're back. Welcome to the fifth season of the Game of Roto: the best fantasy league about an ok fantasy show.

Like the city of Mereen, we are a free league. Also like the city of Mereen, our dialogue is dumb as heck, we negotiate with one-sided & insulting trade offers, and the person in charge doesn't know what he's doing. Oh, and we have a keeper system.

Site:
ESPN - League Page

Scoring:

1Q / 2R / 2W / 1T / 1 WRT / 1DST / 7 BN - no kickers
0.5 PPR otherwise ESPN standard

Draft & Schedule:
Tentatively set @ Sat Sept 3 at 4 PM Pacific
H2H weeks 1-13
Playoffs: 4 teams qualify then 2 rounds of 2-week playoffs (wks 14-17)

Keepers:
2 keepers for this draft, but going forward we'll be able to keep 3.
Keeper values are last years auctions' cost plus $5.
Auction is a $200 budget.

League changes:
This league is casual AF and we can vote to change anything.
To prevent ambiguity with idle speculation/shitposting, there's a format for proposed rule changes: anything intended for league vote should have "Proposal:" in the post. If someone seconds the motion by posting "THE KING IN THE NORF" gif, then we'll vote.


Thrones-themed team names:

Mandatory. No book spoilers, please!

Previously on Game of Roto:
S1 Champ: nerve (Hallyne's Wildfire), S2 Champ: Sataere (We Do Not Suh), S3 Champ: uublog (The Raineys of Castamere)
S4 Champ: Khal Tebow of the Chipraki rode tim loving hightower to the league championship and now RVProfootballer sits on the Gridiron Throne
S5 Champ: could it be you??

Can;t seem to set my keepers or anything, or edit my team name, which is the most important issue.

anybody else having this problem? i activated the league last wknd and i seem to be able to do both of those things. are you sure you're in the 2016 league and not like some historical team page?



Gobias Ind. posted:



Fight Club Sandwich, in that keeper cost image you posted, does it include the $5 increase? Or is that what they cost last year?

the image in the second post shows the draft price; keepers are draft price +$5 and free agents are $1 + $5

alright y'all, teams are full up. oh snapple will keep his team, and bbf2 receives bronny football and kaynor gets mance raiders

keeper deadline is a week from now and draft is the week after that (Sept 4). Lets do this thing



e: draft is on Sept 3 like in the OP and like everybody voiced their opinion on, not Sept 4

If I drop Keenan Allen can someone else pick him up and keep him for 5 bux next year or will my keeper cost transfer to any potential owners? Thanks!

keeper values are set at the draft. for next season's draft, players will be their auction price + $5 (irrespective if they are dropped to FA) and undrafted players will be $1 base + $5

unless we vote on a rule change

I personally like it how it is. Otherwise managers will have incentive to hold onto guys they don't want currently and don't want to keep, but want to keep out of another team's hands for $6 the next year.


Yup, definitely agree that drafted players should base their keeper value off auction price even if dropped to waivers; however IMO $1 base for UDFAs isn't a great rule but since we already tried voting on that last year and failed i'm jaded. Software won't let us add an IR this year but we could vote on one for next year if it gets proposed and seconded.

Proposal: The Manning Faced God and an Unleashing of Dragons need to add a team logo by next MNF or else I will add one for them possibly changing their team names in the process
