Just to get the ball rolling as spring training approaches and I'm surely not the only one with the itch!
To make planning a bit easier, posting last year's standings here.
There were talks of top 7-8 from RIBC returning and top 4 from AAA qualifying and the remaining 4 spots to be determined. Nothing seemed final but I'm sure we can come up with a fair cutoff.
from AAA: 1 Da Bomb Squad 127.5 2 filthyrich's Superb Team 109.5 3 HOLT 108 4 Jason's Credible Team 107.5 5 YWC's Yumbelievable Team 107 6 Species RIBC 2022 104 6 who is ksoze? 104 8 Mos Espa Rancors (Nerf) 89.5 9 Graydog 81.5 10 gurudan 77.5 11 Fred's Fantastic Team 67 12 Brent's Incredible Team 63.5 13 Munson Mobsters 58 14 loki's LAD63 57 15 SANFORDORS 53 16 C1 Presents A.L.L. Army 2022 45.5

Interesting, it's roll call. My bad! I plan on returning, and prefer to remain in AAA on yahoo for what it's worth.

I'm 50/50 on willing to commish yahoo if nerf qualifies to move up. Can be convinced but more than willing to allow anyone else interested the chance.

Maybe since there are folks that prefer Yahoo and folks that prefer ESPN, we just split along those fronts and skip the Majors and AAA. Just a thought.

<14> How bout we set the leagues, and THEN let people vote on the platform?
I suspect that the vote would favor Yahoo, though our tradition favors ESPN. This would be my only ESPN league out of five rotoguru leagues, should ESPN gain favor.

It looks like we're getting close to having enough for both leagues.
I'm wondering if we could make both leagues Yahoo?

I count 25 IN, including taxman, who did not play last year. These 8 have not chimed in:
RIBC 5 Milchian Magicians 110.5 11 Wiggs Supernovas 62 14 Sandor Kiss 42 15 Crack Babies 39
AAA 1 Da Bomb Squad 127.5 5 YWC's Yumbelievable Team 107 9 Graydog 81.5 12 Brent's Incredible Team 63.5

My preference would be ESPN. Still think we split the 32 teams into an ESPN league and a Yahoo league.

Well, I have heard a few people say this sort of thing. I am confused by it, frankly. The unique thing about RIBC is that it is a hierarchical competition.
Why would we destroy the one thing that makes RIBC special over a platform choice? Which of you has stock in Yahoo, or Disney?
|
35 | Bean
ID: 12552510 Thu, Feb 16, 2023, 10:35

Well, I guess I'll join in the brinksmanship everyone is doing here.
I really dont care which platform we use, but I believe it should not be chosen by one person. Let the majority rule.
If we do not continue the hierarchical format we have always had in the past, I am out.

36 | JeffG
ID: 40132610 Thu, Feb 16, 2023, 11:56

My votes are simply preference, but will go along with league/majority decision on both, love the format and enjoy the folks in these leagues and hope we keep it going.
ESPN vs Yahoo - preference - ESPN
hierarchical (Majors/AAA) or split by platform (Yahoo/ESPN) - preference - hierarchical

Yahoo, Hierarchical
has espn still not started providing a team log? I think if they brought that feature back then I wouldn't care which we used. Yahoo also has great start sorting. don't remember how espn stacks up there.

<45> I think that we have enough for two leagues is a given. I am sure we'd have volunteers to play in two leagues to fill both out, if we do a hierarchical format, that is.
<46> I prefer Yahoo for two reasons. First, its the platform that just about every league at rotoguru uses, and needing to switch to ESPN for one league is a PITA.
The second reason is that Yahoo provides a league stat specific ranking of every player (Current ranking). That helps to evaluate a player's worth in the stats of the league you are playing in vs ADP or Pre-season rankings. For me, it often helps in establishing a starting point for determining player value for trades and roster add/drop decisions.

In. Prefer Yahoo, hierarchal.
Yahoo also has average per game sort rankings where ESPN does not. Yahoo's standings view comes with a nifty graph. Their position eligibility is more generous too. ESPN does have the Ohtani designation advantage.

First of all this is not my league, it’s ours, but I am glad to help move the ball downfield or yield if someone else does
Here is the plan. By tomorrow evening I’ll have the list of managers that qualified for the 2023 majors and AAA from last season results. Each one will then work independently to choose an all benevolent commissioner who can then work with the managers to decide platform, draft schedule, etc.
|
53 | Nerfherders
ID: 56261418 Thu, Feb 23, 2023, 14:04

For reference, this is what we did for qualifying last year:
"Top 8 RIBC 2021 qualifies for RIBC. Top 4 each AAA 2021 qualifies for RIBC.
We seem to be missing managers, so I would also propose priority for qualifying to RIBC as such:
9-10 RIBC 5-6 AAA 11-12 RIBC 7-10 AAA"
With only two leagues available for the pool, I would recommend having top 6 RIBC and AAA advancing, with the last four in this order (or to fill in from non-returning managers):
7-8 RIBC 7-8 AAA 9-10 RIBC 9-10 AAA
Any managers who did not play in 2022 go into AAA.

Here are the 2023 PRELIMINARY LEAGUE ASSIGNMENTS.
The suggestion was 10 from the majors and 6 from AAA to make up league but because there was a TIE for 6th in AAA, I'll assign both to the majors and bump 10th in RIBC (me.. argh).
RIBC 2023 FROM RIBC 1 Smith and 9th 2 Foot’s Acrobats 3 Uptown Bombers 4 Team Mikulka 5 Milchian Magicians (TWILSON) 6 I_AM_CANADIAN IAC 7 GREAT ONE 8 Bean's Guardians 9 Blue Hen
FROM AAA 1 Da Bomb 2 Filthy 3 Holt 4 Jason 5 YWK 6T Species 6T ksoze
YWK has not committed yet.. so I may get the call up yet to the majors. Lets give them until Tuesday 2/28.. if someone knows this person, get in touch.
So here is AAA 2023 Commits from RIBC 2022 10 JeffG RIBC 11 Wiggs Supernovas 12 Seattle Zen 13 Rotten Amoebas (Maspero) 15 Crack Babies (El Fatador) 16 s R (eserel)
Commits from AAA 2022 8 Nerfherders 11 Perm Dude 13 Fosten 14 loki 15 SANFORDORS (DaveR) 16 C1-NRB
commits who missed 2022, in for 2023 1. taxman
So that gives us 13 for now (12 if I move to RIBC)
Non Commits - whoever replies first can fill in the final 3 or 4 slots. Otherwise please help recruit to fill final spots
RIBC 14 Sandor Kiss AAA 9 Graydog AAA 12 Brent (electroman)
dropping out AAA 10 gurudan
Next step - figure out if i screwed this up - each league needs a volunteer to commish. - each commish should open up a new thread, decide platform, agree on draft schedule, start draft position drawing.
I have an almost complete email list with everyone, and can share with 2023 commissioners.

OK... Lets get the ball rolling.
RIBC - majors. Do we have a volunteer commissioner? Filthy mentioned at the top of this post he would consider.

Any takers for one of the three open AAA slots? Anyone know anyone who may be interested.
Next step - each commish finalize their leagues, decide on what platform, set up draftime and the fantasy league on yahoo/espn and get the draft pick selection started as soon as possible.
25 rounds. Opening day in 30 days.. We have to target a draft start by monday 3/6 at the latest.

<58> Are you not going to commish the RIBC - majors league, even though you are in it?
If you need an additional AAA, I'd volunteer to play in both leagues.
"25 rounds" Are we doing the extra "COVID" slot again? If so, why not just make it 26 rounds?

I'd rather not have managers doubled up, so please start scouring for managers!
I'm not terribly worried about finishing the draft. We will need about 15 days, but I'll be shooting for starting on the 10th.

I resist committing to commish because of a slight chance of travel mid-March, but will act as commish until coming up with a workaround at that time or until somebody else says they'd rather do it.
After a few weeks, now into March, I think we could feel safe giving up YWC's spot in the majors to finalize one league. I just tried sending a message through last year's yahoo league if we wanna give it another day but if I hadn't thought to check in so far, I wouldn't be upset about another year in AAA. Will also message graydog and sandorkiss tomorrow to see if we can get both leagues filled.

@YWK - i see you qualified for the majors, since you did not reply by 2/28 i assigned that spot to the next up (me)... BUT if you want to claim that spot, let us know and you and i can switch before things get too deep in the set up - and I'll take the AAA slot
