Subject: Anyone interested in LRV or $500K league?
Posted by: Guru

Back in the TSN heyday, we used to organize leagues for "low roster value" (where the objective was to lose money) or $500K (where the rules put a limit on how much any player could cost.)
Is anyone interested in these options for the FireLeague Standard (i.e., free) game for the rest of the season?
I believe anyone can get multiple teams for free. Each of these league would be for no trade buying, so each team would start with 3 trades and then get one extra trade per week.
I'm happy to set these up. The $500 league would need to set a max price on the $1000-$2000 range, I think. Perhaps someone could look up the rules from a prior league (which may require looking in baseball or hoops threads, because we may not have done these in the past.)
Post your interest here. If you want to take the lead in setting up a league (and the rules for it), please indicate that as well. We could start these leagues on Tuesday (so that all trade counts would start at the same level.) |

Here is the full price list for the free game (excluding players who have not yet played.)

I'd be interested.
We'd probably have to do away with the idea of a mascot, given the late start and the short season.

OK - let's at least start with a cheap player league, and see how many join.
Looking at the current pricing, I think $2M is a reasonable price limit, So here are the rules:All players must cost $2M or less when added to a team. If a player's value increases to more than $2M while on a roster, he may be kept - but once sold, cannot be repurchased unless his cost dips back to $2M or less.
No trade buying allowed.
The league name is RotoGuru $2M league
The password is rotoguru2m
Each team starting this week will get 3 trades, plus one more will be added each week. Trades are only charged when you sell a player, so it will take zero trades to put together your initial roster.
Because you get $35M to start and there are only 7 roster slots, total franchise value will be of no consequence.
No cost to join, no prizes awarded. Just for fun.

By "trades" it means drop/adds?

Trades are sells. Adds are free.

Was I the only one with the wisdom to pick Curtis Painter and his -17 points? Hard to imagine a QB not getting positive points

Judy did as well, I believe. But she was more done in by the Tennessee defense, unfortunately.

Hey, it's been that kind of year in all four of my football leagues -- why should this one be any different? Sheeesh!
Lots of injuries (A Johnson is a biggie) and supposedly good players (cf, Rivers, Djax, Kolb) playing like crummy players and now Hightower is out with an ACL.

Can somebody 'splain the "trades" to me?
Do I have unlimited drop/adds?

Trades are drops. You only get the 3 you started with and 1 additional trade per week. Obviously a trade ( drop ) would be followed with a Buy ( add ).
But they are not unlimited

Where are the standings? I was able to get Live Standings during the games, but I can't seem to find a page that has actual post-game standings for the league.

Hmmm. Thanks. Yesterday all the teams were zeroed out on that page. Maybe they were updating or something.

The Assimilator has been updated to enable the copying of any team roster drectly from the FireLeague site. You simply need to supply the team id #.
To find a team ID, go to the Dashboard Overview page at the FireLeague site, hover the cursor over the team name, and look at the targeted URL. The team number is the number following "my_sel_team=" in that URL.

Maybe he thought the rule was "no one under 2K"

With that over the limit lineup, breaknbad has surged to the top of the league standings!Congratulations to that manager on his unique strategy, wonder why none of us thought of that? shouldnt let a little honesty and fair play interfere with playing a free/ no prize game! But, wait a minute, breaknbad is out of trades, maybe time to buy a few,oops, ntb league also, hmm, wonder what he will do?

Still aggravates me to see Breaknbad sitting at the top of this league. Any way for his team to be removed, since he did not follow the league rules from the first week? I realize that there is nothing but honesty involved here, we can all just ignore the team, but Ive never tolerated dishonesty in life, and would like to see this team just go away.
