Original F101 thread

League Summary
4 Offensive Keepers, 1 IDP Keeper
Live, Online Straight Draft, Reverse order of previous year standings w/ Draft Lottery first 3 picks
All players placed on waivers each week 1 PM Saturday til Wednesday AM.
Waiver Priority set by reverse order of standings each week.
Games played before Sunday 1 PM, players ineligible to be added per below

DRAFT LOTTERY
Non playoff teams, weighted draft lottery for top 3 picks of 1st round (1st round only)
Chances per 1000 -
Team 8: 13
Team 7: 28
Team 6: 54
Team 5: 80
Team 4: 110
Team 3: 175

ADD/DROPS ROSTER MOVES
Games played before Sunday 1 PM
Gentlemens agreement not pick up anyone in these Thursday/Saturday games and to let them run through the Sunday 1 PM waiver processing.
If anyone notices somebody was picked up by mistake please let me know so I can reverse it.

Playoffs Waivers, Add/Drops and Keepers
The waiver processing that occurs after the last week of the regular season will only be for the 6 teams that make the playoffs. So 1 PM on Sunday of the last week is the "Keeper Freeze". Whoever is on your team at that point it eligible to be kept next season. Anyone added after that point is not eligible to be kept.
And just as important - if you drop somebody, you lose rights to keep them as well.
Playoff teams are re-seeded after each round of the playoffs.
Playoff teams are locked from making moves once knocked out of contention for championship final game.

Congrats to Philly Busters on a heck of a run, winning the final week to make playoffs, to championship gold. Doesnt get much better than that.

Kudos to everyone on a great year.

Thanks Rick. It was a fun and, at times, frustrating season. After week 8 I was 6 - 2 but I was getting lucky and often winning with low totals. So, then I made a big trade with Andrew/Larry's Legends, dealing Mike Evans, Hayden Hurst and Bobby Wagner for DJ Moore and Darren Waller. I proceeded to lose 3 of 4 scoring 101, 134 (the win), 119, and 104. Then it was like a switch was flipped. I needed a win in week 13 to make the playoffs due to my low season point total losing all tiebreakers. Scored 152 to win and get in as the 5 seed. The momentum built as the boys scored 162, 197, and 149 in the playoffs. Totally unexpected.

One thing I've learned playing fantasy football is that I have no idea what will happen week to week. Plug them in and hope for the best. And a little luck.

Congrats Philly-

I had probably my best team i have ever had in this league. After a huge season laid an egg in the 1st round of the playoffs. Very disappointing.

The always eventful NFL off-season is in full swing. Free agency, draft, schedule announcement and before too long, training camps will be open. Can't wait for the new season to start.

However, I noticed an interesting twist for the 17 game schedule. There are 4 teams on bye week 14. The solution seems clear but we should at least get people to chime in on this. With a 14 team league, we should stick with the 13 week regular season so everyone has an equal schedule playing each other team once. However, having 4 teams on bye for week 1 of the playoffs is not an acceptable (at least in my mind) situation. Seems clear we need to skip week 14 and start the playoffs with week 15. Thoughts?

Philly. I have been thinking about this as well. Problem i see is teams who have players on those 4 teams will never have a bye week. I think that is a huge advantage for those teams. I do not know the answer but I am thinking about it too

This is definitely a problem and I have no idea how to approach. I'm sure it'll be discussed at length though on all the sites over the summer so perhaps an idea emerges.

At this point... the only feasible option is we are playing championships in the last week of the season?

I dont know how creative Yahoo would allow us to get - but the vanilla option is to just add a 14th game vs a random oppt, and playoffs week 15-17.

Maybe expand to 15 teams to keep the play everyone once rule.

Week 18 is the last week so we wont get stuck on the week most teams rest players.

Other ideas ive seen/heard:
- week 14 acts as a play in week for bottom seeds
- Week 14 doesnt count but is a all star week high points that week get a side pot

- Make week 14 a rivalry week, either a preset rival or a rematch with your closest margin oppt. from the season.

-Championship round is two weeks long
- 11 week season, two week playoff weeks

Not saying all these ideas FIT our league or are they good ideas.

Adding one more regular season game is likely... can't add a 15th team cause you'd have an odd number matchups each week.

The only debate would be who is the team you get to place twice each year? Is it worth the effort to do that based on strength of scheduling i.e. last years 1/2 play 2x the following season? or do we set up a rivalry week for fun?

Rivalry week sounds like fun. So many of us are friends (have played fantasy games for decades) with other managers in this league. I would love a second shot at Cliff (Goatlocker), Tree, Wiggs or Go.

Or their could be a blind draw...assign a number (could be last years standings or managers could pick or random assignment) 1-14. Then have a preset assignment such as 1 plays 14, 2 plays 13, 3 plays 12 etc.
Or 1 plays 2, 3 plays 4, 5 plays 6 etc.

New wrinkles can be fun.

i'v got about 10 players i'm willing to trade.

i think that's the problem with a league this size with only 4 offensive keepers. there's not a lot of space to upgrade.

Legit IDP assets available for trade.

#1 Ranked IDP Player Darius Leonard.
#2 Ranked IDP Player Devin White.
#13 Ranked IDP Player Jeremy Chinn (Listed as a DB, plays LB most of the time, so LB tackles at the DB spot).

Looking for draft pick up grades. This is your opportunity to get a legit difference maker on Defense.

So we got a hold of Eric. He said he was going to pay and join as of yesterday. Still nothing. Going to give him to midnight Wednesday to pay at least last year.

Send Cliff's invite out to the person Dirk recommended. He has one more ready should Eric disappear again.
