DIVISION CHANGES:
If you'd like to change your division, you may find someone to swap with and I'll make the change. If someone doesn't come back for season 14, this is the list for people who could potentially move into that divisional spot (if they so desire, it's not mandatory).

ROSTER BREAKDOWN:
Here are the current roster requirements.

1 QB
1 RB
1 WR
2 Flex (RB/WR/TE)
1 TE
1 D/ST
1 K
1 Punter
5 Bench spots
2 IR

DRAFT:
We will be doing a live online draft. Please plan your schedules accordingly. Set your rankings or get a friend to draft for you if need be. Draft order will be randomized after the league is officially filled but the commissioners (Silly Burrito/Braksgirl) can be bribed with boudin balls (me) or bacon (her).

LEAGUE SCHEDULING:
Just like last year, the playoffs are from weeks 15-17. We will just shift the games using the same tool so that you should play a couple of different conference games and out of conference games. This year, with

-8 division games
-4 conference games
-2 out of conference games

We keep the same divisions. The AFC (Marino, Namath) and NFC (Montana, Romo) conferences will be placed on other ends of the real playoffs when the time comes.

SCORING:




PLAYOFF BERTHS:
The playoff berths are calculated based on the actual rules that the NFL has. Yes, this is a pain in the rear end, but it's a pain in the rear end of a labor of love, or something like that. Eight out of twenty of you happy assholes get in. Four division champions, two wild card berths in each conference. IGNORE ANY ESPN PLAYOFF SEEDINGS AS THE CALCULATIONS WILL BE POSTED IN THE THREAD.

LEAGUE LINKS:
Main League Page
Emergency Discord, not really used

HALL OF HONOR:
Season 01: Yaphet / J-City Rockstars [Joe Montana Division]
Season 02: bbf2 / Plaxico's Hand gun Emporium [Dan Marino Division]
Season 03: bbf2 / Stevie J's Hand gun Emporium [Dan Marino Division]

Yes, no, 3rd flex.

How do we score punters? Avg distance? Inside the 20?

If it passes, we can discuss/vote on it, but I saw this last year and thought it would be a good starting point:

Punts inside the 20 (PT20) = 1 point
Punts inside the 10 (PT10) = 2 points
Fair Catches (PTFC) = 1 point
Touchbacks (PTTB) = -1 point

No chance of putting it to a vote to get rid of the TE slot and make tight ends just a flex position?

For simplicity's sake and unless everyone disagrees, it would just be easier to keep the proposals from last season (especially since other people have already voted) and add this to next year's proposals if you want.

Now that we have a full league, it's time to lock in and calculate the votes. Quiet Feet did this already so it's not a huge surprise, but here are the results. When it was unclear/not voted on/different option chosen, I tried to standardize as best as possible / take the first option given:

1. Propose we remove defenses (Yes/No) 8 votes yes, 12 votes no, proposal does not pass.
2. Propose we remove kickers (Yes/No) 4 votes yes, 16 votes no, proposal does not pass.
3. If proposals #1 or #2 pass, replace it with either a 3rd flex/IDP/or nothing at all (3rd flex/IDP/None) 1 and 2 did not pass, so this is moot, but we had 12 votes for a third flex, 2 votes for IDP, 5 for none, proposal does not pass
4. Propose we revert defenses to ESPN standard scoring (Yes/No) 6 votes yes, 12 votes no, proposal does not pass
5. Propose we add punters (Yes/No) 10 votes yes, 9 votes no Proposal passes!

I'll add these tallies to the first post and add Quiet Feet's proposal for next year. Also, if someone wants to make a formal vote proposal for next year's rules, I'd ask that you add it to the thread with something similar to Vote Proposal: XYZ to make it easier to find when we round these up for the next year.

Next post will be about punters.

Since the proposal about punters passed, there's a couple of ways to go with it. Here were the previous two suggestions.

Silly Burrito posted:

Punts inside the 20 (PT20) = 1 point
Punts inside the 10 (PT10) = 2 points
Fair Catches (PTFC) = 1 point
Touchbacks (PTTB) = -1 point

pmchem posted:

I see that punters are a close vote. I run a different ESPN league with punters using the below settings, it's hilarious fun:



Mostly boring, say 6-10 points a week. But every now and then someone dumps a bunch of punts inside the ten for a 15 point game. Or a returner houses one and the punter gets negative points. It keeps things lively. Plus you learn more about special teams units. Highly recommend.

Since I've never played with punters outside of the Calvinball league, I'm inclined to lean towards Pmchem's suggestion since it's worked in a different league. If we want, we can put it to another formal vote, or we can just agree to try those settings for this year and see how it works. What say you all?

Pain of Mind posted:

The defenses already score a massive amount of points in this league between return yards and passes defended.

Also, do we get another round in the draft to fit in the punter?

Yeah, I'll add that once we hash out the punter scoring.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:


As for Punters, I like the idea of inside the 10 and fair catches counting for scoring so I'd lean the original proposal.

As a possible variation, we could just add fair catches as 1 point to Pmchem's scoring and have both.

Ok, the draft order has been set, the punter position has been added (14 round draft now), and the schedule has been finalized. Big thanks again to Econdad for helping me make that spreadsheet last year, it made it really easy to find/replace all the teams and you should all now have some fresh matchups. Only thing left to do is decide the punter scoring but other than that, I think we're good to go. Draft is in 12 days! You should now be able to trade picks if you want to.

I'm glad I'm not alone! I'm going to wait till after I've played a year in the league before I make a serious proposal to make a change but its nice to know some thought has already gone into it.

As someone new to the league and playing in a 20 team format (I told some of my friends and they think I'm nuts) this is all great to know, so thank you for posting it.

Is there an old thread that has the draft history of prior drafts, or can you grant me access in ESPN to previous years draft results? I'm getting a "You do not have permission to view this page" when going to League => History (which shows me last years trophies) then clicking on the Draft Recap link. I ask because of the whole "being new to a 20 team format" thing and the, uh, complete lack of other 20 team leagues to look at as a reference point when preparing to draft.

I don't think ESPN allows you to view it if you weren't a part of the league before. But I may be able to find a way to print or get the last five drafts and post them in here if you give me a bit. Let me noodle with that. But feel free to make a proposal at any time for next year and I'll add it to the list. This league is for all of us, and I want to make sure we enjoy it as much as possible.

Take QBs early because you won’t have access to a viable backup probably

Remember I joked with you about Nick Mullens in a PM? That's happened quite a bit in this league. Not everyone gets a backup QB, so you either trade or pick up a second stringer in your bye week.

And yeah, 20 team formats are nuts. But fun as hell.

Ask and ye shall receive. Weird thing is, it won't let me go past 2020 to see the draft for those years. Might be because I had to swap teams with Jetsguy when he left. That's why he's still on my team (and can't be deleted).

Glad you were able to get the schedule going. I was wondering if the template you/we (or whoever) did last year could be applied again. My memory was failing me as to how we rigged it last year.

One small thing: I'm noticing I'm playing the same Romo opponent as last year. Does Week 7 need a "shakeup"? Or, did other people get new matchups of the Romo/Namath and Montana/Marino variety?

You were Namath 2 last year, now you're Namath 1 (remember how we shifted up and down based on the division?) But now that I'm looking at it, I can see a couple of the same matchups too, just different home/away status. Maybe the shifting doesn't work as well as I'd hoped, and I just need to randomize each year all five slots. Give me a bit, I'll have to redo this.

Nah, the whole point was to make sure people had fresh matches every year for their non-divisional opponents. Disregard the list above, I'm going to randomize each division's slots and make sure people aren't in the same slots as before. I can't guarantee that someone won't play a similar matchup from last year, but it's going to be more randomized than the slide up/slide down method.

Looks like most people who've responded in the last couple of days want to try Pmchem's solution or are mainly indifferent to punter scoring, so to make it easier and get it finalized, I'm just going to go ahead and implement that scoring for this season. Once this season is over, we can tweak as necessary.

Glad for the reminder that I drafted Julio Jones with Cooper Kupp still on the board last season

I could've had a team of Austin Ekeler, Justin Jefferson, Cooper Kupp, and Ja'marr Chase by Round 5. :sigh:

Hey watch out, if he doesn't take me up on this I'm pitching it to you next!

Besides you thought I was crazy when I got all the 5th rounders in dynasty, but wait until that happens here! :twisted:

If you pull that off, I will concede and call you the master of trading.

But you actually bring up a point I was thinking of making (and possibly making an official proposal for next year). Right now, here are the settings for trades:



With Thursday night football, you can't make any trades that will help you if you need it on Thursday since the waivers process on Wednesdays and trades take 2 days to process. I'd like to consider dropping that down to either 1 day with 8 vetoes or instantly with no vetoes (barring collusion trades). Or, we could just keep it as is with 2 days/8 vetoes. Wonder what y'all think about it? We don't trade a ton in this league, and I'm wondering if this would help spur more of them.

How long does the draft usually take?

Probably around 90 minutes or so. Normally by rounds 7-9 or so, I'll pause the draft and change it from 90 seconds to 60 or 30 seconds per pick.


Quiet Feet posted:

:hfive: same here actually. If nothing else it leaves you with more time to use the bathroom or grab a beer between rounds.

Though I just pitched the same thing to SB so you may be safe!

I honestly think I like drafting at the turn a bit more myself, but thanks!

My only regret is taking Sutton st the 3/4 turn instead of picking up Dillon or Hunt. Suspect there'd have still been a good WR available with the later of the two picks.

I wish you had passed on him as I had hoped he’d fall to me, but c’est la vie.

Not sure what to think about my team. My expected roster trends did not really hold up, and I kept having players sniped even at pick 260 or whatever.

You always have good analysis. What were you expecting? (being serious here, not a smartass) What trends were you thinking?

I mainly ask because I’ve noticed that this year, ADP means a lot less than usual. I know we draft QBs and the like early here, but in my other draft that I posted yesterday, I felt more like you had to grab who you wanted almost a round or two early each time or you would’ve been boned.

Went into the draft thinking "gently caress RB, it's WR season" and now staring down the barrel of having Christian Kirk as my WR1 lol

This Mahomes-Kelce stack better EAT

You made it easy for me. I wasn't sure which TE to grab out of Kelce and Andrews, so you helped make that decision for me. :)
