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 15, 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

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 pictures of unicorns farting.

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.

CANCELLED GAMES:
If a game is unexpectedly cancelled and is NOT replayed, the final fantasy scores stand as is.

TRADES:
Per league vote, trades are instantly processed with no veto votes necessary. The commissioners still reserve the right to veto obvious collusion trades.

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.

Random thoughts while I have a moment.

TE sucks and for 85% of the league the position is just "start some teams 4th-5th best receiver." You may as well at that point just replace it with a flex, which at least gives people some options.

Trades should not have vetoes. It would be especially bad to have a waiting period in a league this big where you can't be sure everyone is paying attention.

I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about punters but am voting this way to keep the tally close.

D/ST is an afterthought in most leagues and I'm glad it gets some attention here. Given how few good starters are available at every position, I like having an extra position actually count. 20-team is complicated enough without adding IDP and having to know all the names that are out there for it. Fine with getting rid of negative points. Those have never been fun.

Fine with just leaving fantasy scores as-is if a game is suddenly cancelled. It isn't likely to happen too often but saves a lot of headache if it does.

I'm not a wrestling person but I'll say Mr. Perfect because that's the guy my WhatIfSports team got when the guy who did the season previews for those did a wrestler gimmick

I would have lost out on several hundred dollars if #6 was the case in a league I'm in because my team had Josh Allen and Dawson Knox so I'm EXTREMELY biased in saying so, but I feel like using projected numbers for the people who didn't play is the fairest option there.

I also doubt it happens again and plan on hunting this post back down the next time it does lol

I like TE for this league because it forces people to make decisions early in the draft. Do you want a good TE, a solid QB, or a top #2 RB/WR: pick 2? Anything that causes divergence from a generic ADP list is good IMO.

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Just did a quick count of the votes so far. Obviously this is unofficial since I in no way act on behalf of this league, its' commissioner, or any of its members.

quote:

---1: remove the Te slot and replace it with a flex

Yes - 4
NO - 12

At least twelve people are planning on drafting Kelce. Nobody tell them how many Travis Kelces are in the league.

I'll seriously never understand this when TE is consistently a lower scoring position than kicker every year and one or two of the top five are guys who put up half their points in a couple of monster games and just kinda farted around otherwise.


quote:

---2: Trades Need 2 days/8 veto votes, 1 day/8 veto votes, instant/no veto votes)
to process

2 days/8 votes - 0
1 days/8 votes - 5
0 days/0 votes - 10



quote:

---3: Remove the Punter position

YES - 9
No - 7

I'm stunned this one is this close. I really wanted it last year as a goof. Now that we've done it, I don't really care much either way but I think this league benefits from having more positions to score points with, so I voted to keep it. I totally get why people don't like it though.



quote:

---4: Revert to standard ESPN defense scoring

yes - 8
no - 8

Standard defensive scoring kinda sucks and I like it that the current setup has made defenses actually relevant. Certainly more relevant than 80% of the TES that get played every year. In a league where the difference makers are spread thin, turning a few defenses into those difference makers, and making most of the rest at least worth playing, helps with parity imo.



quote:

---5: Remove DST and add one IDP position

Yes - 2
NO - 14



quote:

---6: if a game is cancelled and not replayed, Final Fantasy score stands

YES - 12
No - 4



quote:

---7: If prop #4 passes, eliminate negative points at D/ST scoring

YES - 11
No - 5




quote:

---8: Remove D/ST and replace it with nothing

Yes - 3
NO -12

SET A COURSE FOR
THE FLAVOR QUADRANT
Thanks. We still have two potentially returning members and two members who haven’t voted, so a few of them are still up in the air. I’m hoping once we have our full 20, I’ll set a deadline of the next day or so to finalize the votes and go from there.

yeah, I'm gonna make a plea for the punter! it's fun, it's another position! you're already in a 20-team league, at least this gives you a shot at having a premiere player at one position! I get that some people don't like the next-day adjustments, but that's just how ESPN does certain aspects of punter scoring because ESPN is bad at programming websites. if you calculate it yourself on game day based on our scoring settings and the box score, there are no surprises. it's all there plain as day.

in short please change your votes to be pro-punter thanks

It’s possible if we can find an alternate time that still works for everyone. Usually keep this one on Sunday nights for consistency, but it’s not set in stone.
