To tie up loose ends, please don't forget we still need to make a decision about next year's draft order. Commentary is welcome.
For Week 1, I set Doug's lineup for his second game (against AthleticsGuy) because it wasn't in the system for some reason or other. He had Reggie Bush set to start in his first lineup, but I replaced him with Kevin Faulk (after seeing that Kevin Jones was doubtful) for today's lineup since I believe Bush shouldn't be available to him after Thursday. With that said, I realize Bush had a poor score this week, and that Faulk could outpoint him. I think in this situation there isn't any better way to proceed really.
Any objections will be respectfully reviewed. Feel free to e-mail me. |

If I'm IAC I'm feeling pretty good about my draft at this point.
Whereas this is normally the morning when most people aren't feeling so hot about their drafts.

So I am looking at scores and see I lost to Guru 131.82 to 131.72
Is that like one rushing yard? Uggghh.

I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who would ever post in this thread.
I think my team shot its load this week. I don't expect to have IDP's scoring in double digits very often to cover for my sorryass WR's and MJD taking a game off. Slack.

Wow, after checking into the internet for the first time in five days, I see that for the only time I can remember I lost every game in every league I am in (0-7). Fortunately, I had a baby boy (my first kid) on Monday morning after my wife went through 32 hours of labor, so, it seems that I did come out ahead this weekend.

Matt, that's great! Congratulations.
And on that note (or not), I was doing some of my best thinking just now and realized we also never stipulated that free agent acquisitions can only be made during the season. I think that was probably obvious, but just to be sure, I am saying it now. I don't see much need to vote on it, although I wouldn't be surprised to hear TB say we should be able to GM our teams all winter and spring.
IAC, your time to really blow us all away was Monday night. I was looking for a 200 out of that lineup. I was a little disappointed only because it's so unlikely anyone will go into Monday night with a 160-something and 3 players still to go, much less 2 WR's. Hey, I want to see someone break 200. As long as he isn't playing my team.

Hey Commish,
I was looking at my team and saw that Takeo Spikes was credited with zero points (in both my games) for the week. I went and looked at official boxscores and he was listed with 5 tackles. Heck, he is listed with 5 tackles right on our page, but zero points. Am I missing something or should I be credited with some more points?
This link might take you straight to the scoring page for last week.

I just fixed your roster move error, TB. The other issue I decided to send in a help ticket on just so that Fanball is aware they missed it. If they don't update it within 24 hours, I'll just manually add the points to your result. I believe this is possible. I seem to remember it happening in the past.

Thanks for the reminder. Yeah, I'll take care of that, Challenger.
I'm looking to trade for a Top 20 WR. That's Top 20 draft rankings, not Top 20 as of this moment. However, all offers will be considered.
I'm willing to offer either Kitna or Favre and Sammy Morris. There's a chance you could talk me out of Marshawn Lynch at this point, as well, but if you attempt that I expect to see names like Owens, Chad Johnson, or Driver coming at me. I'm looking to deal multiple players and upgrade WR in return.

As seeing that I just picked up Cadillac, here is my question...is he now a 24th round keeper? I can't seem to find a place if/where a decision was made about players who are dropped and the treatment of the round they were drafted.

Custom Rules (additional rules entered by the commissioner)
KEEPER RULES
....
All players who are waived automatically garner 'undrafted' status. For the purposes of assigning them a keeper round the following year, it would be as if they were never drafted, even if the same manager re-acquires the player.
Maybe one day when I'm really bored I'l number the paragraphs in the rules for easy reference.
I was wondering if someone might pounce on the Caddie. I read that his injury is so severe that he may never play again, so that discouraged me. Something to the effect that no one has ever come back from a torn patellar tendon.
Thanks for posting, legge. I was starting to think I was the only one alive in this league.

I am alive and well! I have been kept from posting that often with the newborn (who is doing well and poops his pants a lot). I'd also be posting more if my team was more successful...
I really can't sort out what is wrong with my team. I have been making a lot of bad "coaching" decisions across all leagues lately. In this league, I finally pulled starting status last week from Rivers and decided to go with the hot "Harrington." 24.5 points for Rivers and 2.5 points for Harrington later, I lose both games...which I would of won if I started Rivers. Also, Addai sitting out and me not having the handcuff forced a bad RB starting situation last weekend, and I got a whopping 3 points total form my 2 RB's.
I have started thinking about keepers, and I am seriously contemplating keeping 2 IDP's...McGee and either McIntosh or Willis. Keeping two IDP's is certainly not ideal, but I likely have the top IDP corps in the league. On that note:
If anyone is interest in upgrading at IDP, send me an offer. I am looking for a WR.

Oh yeah, I hear you on Caddie...he could be out for his career. At 2-8 though, I figure I can take a chance on holding him until next season.
I also just noticed that if the playoffs started next week, I'd be the 9 seed because of points. I know the 9 seed doesn't make the playoffs, but at least I know I am still in the thick of things at 2-8!

Yes, it's quite a close knot of teams fighting for the bottom rung of the Playoffs still. The real sorting should take another 5 weeks, at least.
I like the results I'm getting but strangely don't love my players. It's too early to have a good feeling about my team, especially considering how low I scored in weeks 2 & 3. I like having an overachiever at QB (Favre) and defense (Pitt). I guess this means I had a good draft. Having already waived my 9th and 10th round picks, however, makes me sting a little.
I keep getting this sneaking feeling that IAC sits at home on the couch flipping through the pages of Biff's Back to the Future II Sports Almanac during the NFL season. What was that Kelsay pickup this past week? Never even heard of the guy before and he returns an INT for TD!

Thanks for the heads up, MC. I didn't get a chance to look at it until after the Sunday night game had started, so I took the only choice I could. Fortunately for me it worked out and I got back to .500. At least I'm doing better in this league than in the RIFC!
I'll work to be more active in the thread in the coming weeks once hockey settles down a bit.
Legge, I thought about getting Caddy too, so I think it's a risk worth taking. I really hope he comes back - he's probably among my favorite players since the Auburn grad I work with is hyping his guys all the time and it's apparently contagious.

It was actually a last minute substitution for an otherwise "dead" roster spot for that week. I didn't have a lot of time for roster moves, as I was in Boston for the Patriots game. I did a quick search for DE playing in the Monday night game, and Kelsay struck my fancy. I got to say that when I was watching the "live ticker" while my wife was watching "the bachelor", that I got pretty excited. It was almost as good as Kevin Curtis' week 3 blowup. :)

I just noticed that Challenger made a transaction tonight, dropping DL Marques Douglas of the 49ers and picking up the Detroit Lions TM Defense.
Both teams are on bye this week.
Despite that, I thought the rules prohibited such a transaction, although the software didn't stop the move.
The rules state the following:
During the regular season, league members are allowed to make their own free agent acquisitions:
Weekly starting Wednesday 01:00p EST and players lock 5 minutes before kickoff of their game.
Also:
Starting five minutes prior to the scheduled start of each NFL game, no player in that game may be dropped, regardless of whether the player is an active or bench player.
I don't think those statements literally prohibit such a move. On the other hand, I think the intent was always that no players should be able to be involved in transactions on Mondays except the players playing that night.
Am I going a little overboard on this, or is it a legitimate concern? Do we need to take a look at this sort of transaction, or should it continue to be allowed?

I was thinking over the scenarios a bit, a wondered IF we decided to revoke the move in question, how we we deal with these type of issues:
Scenario 1. Manager realizes that he has a roster spot (pick any position) on a bye, should he be allowed to swap out that bye "player" for a "player" that hasn't had his game start yet? (After 1PM ET on Sunday of course)
Scenario 2. Manager is reading pre-game info for a 4PM Sunday game, and realizes that one of his players now wont start (Posibly wasn't even on Injury report: see Jeremiah Trotter pre-game fight on MNF two years ago), can he swap out a "player" on a bye in order to fill that void?

Guru, yes, I'll be sure to do that. Thanks for the reminder.
IAC, I think both of those moves would be acceptable. And to be clear, I'm not talking about reversing Challenger's move. I think it was technically legal. My question was only do we want it to be? It allowed him to add a player (that I thought was off limits) to his roster without waiting until the waiver period. Yes, anyone else could have done the same thing. I'm not accusing him of anything. I just wanted to hear your opinions on whether or not we want that sort of move to be possible.

IAC 47 - not sure if it should be acceptable or not, but it's already been done multiple times so I don't think we can disallow it the rest of the season.
For future seasons, I would prefer that the rule either be that no players can be added to rosters after Sunday early game kickoffs or any player that hasn't played yet is free game until the last game of the week starts. Otherwise, it could be a headache to administer.

That is my belief. Bye players are frozen 5 minutes before kickoff of the last game of the week along with all of the players from those last 2 competing teams. My trade was done 2 hours before the scheduled kickoff.
I just wanted to hear your opinions on whether or not we want that sort of move to be possible.
What sort of move???? Bye player for Bye player?? Would it have be so alarming if it was a bye player for a Falcon or Giant??? A Falcon or Giants player for a bye player?

This is not a personal attack, nor am I questioning your move, Challenger. I just never contemplated swapping bye players on Monday evenings until I saw you do it. It felt a little off kilter to me because the waiver claim process is set up specifically to execute those types of maneuvers. Picking up a player who hadn't played that weekend yet (a Falcon or Giant) would have been a different story because the rules address that. They don't address picking up players on a bye. My instinct is that they should be available only through Sunday, like the vast majority of the rest of the players. I don't think that'd be easy to institute, however, since there's no Commish setting for it. Because of that, I think the best thing to do is to leave everything the way it is.
The only thing I've really accomplished is calling everyone's attention to the existing ability to mimic your move.
I never intended to accuse you of anything. It was a shrewd move and I credit your active pursuit of improving your team.
That reminds me: please everyone check your rosters carefully each week before noon Sunday to make sure you have players capable of covering all of the starting slots. With these 6-team-bye-weeks it's been tough and I've seen several teams starting bye week players or injured players (whose status has been known long in advance). It disappoints me to see that happen. I have tried to warn people when I catch it in advance, but I do that out of a desire to see competitive balance in the league and not from any sense of obligation. I get frustrated to see people leaving easy points on the bench or the FA list. Please?

I remember the first year of the RIFC Taxman made a similar move during the season, grabbing a bye week player on Monday night just before the game kicked off. I have no problem with those players being available all the way up until the Monday night game kicks off. Really, why wouldn't they be seeing how the players in the Monday night game are still available?

A few thoughts I've been having this week...
--Anyone ready to start debating the merits of adding more IDP's to the starting lineup next season? Maybe another starter at each of the IDP slots, plus another bench slot?
--I had long considered this league to be divergent from RIFC in terms of new rules. Simply because the rules are tweaked there wouldn't automatically mean we'd make changes in here. Anyone disagree?
--Do any of you foresee having to punt this league as early as 2008? I hope not but I realize things often change in personal lives. TB and I were discussing the procedure we'd use to bring a new manager into the league a little while ago. Expansion might be another thing to consider. I don't think Fanball Commissioner is set up to handle a 16-team league, but I would be totally willing to add another team or two eventually.
--What happened to trading? Is everyone really that happy with their respective drafts?

I'm kewl with adding more IDP, although, to tell the truth, I'd like it also, if we "mirrored" the RIFC's ruleset every year.
I should be arround for next year.
IF we do take on "expansion", I think it's only normal that there be a small "handicap" for coming into the league late, kinda like mimic'ing the real organizations.

3 teams have bye week players in their starting lineups and Beezer has a starting lineup short of a DL.
I realize some of you may be waiting until the afternoon or MNF games to choose replacements. Please make an effort to double check your lineups if you don't mind.

I know I'll be sticking around. It wouldn't be right if the champion wasn't around to defend his title. As far as rules go, I'm certainly open for changes if they're needed. And there's no reason why it has to be the same as the RIFC.

I just filled my bye week spot. I usually wait until 12:30 to make any final tweaks, and when it comes to DL, I don't think about it until then...
As for post 54
- I like 6 IDP's. No real reason why, but I think the IDP is fairly depleted as it is...but I am holding 8 right now, so, it may actually help me if we bumped it up. One thing I would like to see in the future is a manadatory keeper spot (or 2) for IDP's. Say 4 offensive (or 5) and 1 IDP (or 2). This wouldn't be implemented until the 2009 seaosn, but I think it's something to chat about this offseason.
- Agree with the ability to diverge from RIFC rules if we see fit.
- I don't really like expansion. Unless we cap position limits (2 QB's per team, etc).
- I am in the league for the long haul. I'd post more often, but the newborn pulls me away from the cpu a lot.
- As for trading, I'd love to make one. I am strong at RB and IDP, but no one seems to need them. I have offered quite a few trades, but there has been no biting. This is actually the only league this year where I haven't been able to make a trade yet.

I think that we need to reconsider some of the keepers rules when it comes to the value of 1st round pick vs a free agent. I know this has been discussed earlier and rejected but i want to bring up the idea again that for everyplayer that you keep you move back one round till your first pick. so if you keep 5 players your first pick will be in the 6th round and if you keep no one your frist pick will be in the first round.

boikin and I were talking the other day and he mentioned a hypothetical I think we'd all rather avoid.
A manager with low (presumably first) claim position waives his first round draft choice during the bye week, then picks him up with the claiming priority the following week. His reward is a Tomlinson/Manning/Addai type player that is available for a 24th round pick next season.
My band aid solution was to consider changing the rule allowing dropped players to be added as free agents and subsequently kept as 24th rounders. I was thinking a 12th rounder might make more sense. The thought process here is that we are really hurting managers who are forced (by the smallish roster size) to waive players who hit IR. I realize the gaining manager makes a sacrifice if he's able to hold a player through the rest of the season in anticipation of next year, but some rosters are based on a core nucleus of 5 or so very strong players while others rely more on every roster spot. Granted, neither type of team is inherently more desirable, but we are really tipping the balance towards teams with a strong core and weaker fringe players. At first glance that feels a bit out of whack to me.
I suppose the easiest solution is to change the rules to say that you can't waive your own player and pick him back up immediately. I really don't think anyone in this league would try that and risk the scorn of others. I know this is a pretty honorable group.
boikin's solution mentioned in [64] is basically what I was originally trying to do when we started the league up. It has the benefit of eliminating problems like I mentioned in the hypothetical, and it really simplifies administration. I do like the concept of being able to keep gems drafted late in exchange for later picks. That aspect of the league is pretty cool and rewards diligent draft research.

Here's another option (that I use in a league where we use these waiver rules):
If a player was picked in round 5 or earlier, he retains that round for next season, whether or not he is dropped.
The reason being, and I'll use Cadillac as an example this year, is that Cadillac is only a 2nd rounder to the team who drafted him, which is a travesty. To everyone else, he is a 24th rounder. Basically, it's not a level playing field. Whoever had Cadillac when the year started had no choice but to drop him, because he isn't worth a 2nd round pick anymore. But the difference between Round 2 and 24 is too big.
The addendum to that is MC/boikin's proposal, that you cannot "claim" a player you wave. If I drop a guy and no one claims him and I pick him back up later, I still think he should be a 24th rounder, though.

This is not the first time someone has left a starting lineup spot empty this season. The software allows it and scores the team anyway. I would think losing the points would be enough of an inducement to make sure it doesn't happen but I've seen it happen enough times this season that I guess I'm wrong.
I realize life takes priority over fantasy football. I can't think of any way to better allow managers to get situated with their lineups than the current set up. I'm all ears if anyone has any suggestions. I don't want to change lineups unilaterally; I don't even like doing it with the manager's permission. My advice to people is please set your lineup on Thursday or Friday in case you can't get in to the website later in the week to update at the last minute. GoatLocker is not the only one who is short players this week.

Looks like Doug eked out that last playoff spot over leggestand this weekend. It was a pretty close call.
Guru, I'm setting the playoff seedings and my initial choice is the "static" brackets. Do you use that or the "manual" option? It looks like the "static" option doesn't allow for a second place game in either bracket. Our rules don't require it at any rate; the draft order for '08 will be the reverse of the standings with the exception being the first pick, which goes to the winner of the Toilet Bowl.
Also, since Sludge and Beezer have identical W/L % and split in H-2-H, I believe Sludge makes the consolation bracket by virtue of his lower Points For number. The rules aren't exactly clear on this, but I've pasted the relevant guidance below.
PLAYOFFS
8 teams
Top 6 W/L records are seeded 1-6
Top remaining total points are seeded 7-8
Teams with equivalent W/L records are seeded based on head-to-head first, then total points
Bracket is fixed (no reseeding after each round)
Players at the primary skill positions (QB, RB, WR) and team defenses may not be added for any reason during the playoffs. Free agents at these positions will be locked out after the final regular season game. You may drop a player at one of these positions, but once dropped, that player cannot be added later.
Players at the other positions (TE, PK, IDP) may be added or dropped according to normal regular season guidelines, subject to playoff claiming priorities, if applicable.
If a playoff game ends in a tie score, the team with the better seed shall advance.
Team which are not still active in the Championship playoffs may not make any transactions - adds or drops - even if they are still competing in the Consolation bracket.
CONSOLATION BOWL AND DRAFT ORDER
A Consolation Bracket will be established for the 4 lowest ranked teams at the end of the regular season (using regular season W/L%). The teams will be seeded 1-4. In NFL Week 14, Seed 1 plays Seed 4 and Seed 2 plays Seed 3. The winners of those two games play in NFL Week 15 in the Toilet Bowl. The winner of the Toilet Bowl is awarded the first pick in the next fantasy draft.
The other 13 draft positions will be slotted based on the reverse of the final regular season standings (using W/L%).
The draft will maintain the same order every round throughout (it will not snake).

I can't believe I didn't get that last spot. Not only did Doug eke me out by a total of 6 points, but if MC could of beaten TB (he lost 111 to 119), I would of been able to jump TB in total points, instead of him being locked in as the 6th seed and points being a moot point. So close.

Yeah, believe me that was more annoying than following Woodson all the way up to game time and assuming he'd get out there and then finding out 4 minutes too late he was deactivated. Not that Landon Johnson would have scored enough to win it for me.
I was following along all weekend though, legge, watching your destiny unfold. Odd how the playoff seedings came out in exactly the same order as the standings. Sorry I couldn't come through for you. Not the most encouraging way for me to enter the postseason: losing 5 straight.

TB - I wish I had better keepers, because I would be feeling really good about the 1st pick. The onle thing I do have going for me, though, is that my expected keepers are primarily late rounders. If I had to pick right now, I'd keep Addai (1st round), Burress (6th round), Lendale (8th round), and Willis (13th round). My 5th keeper would be either McGee (7th round) or Fargas (24th round).
I guess another question to ask myself is, "Do I drop Addai to get McFadden?" That will be a tough decision.
With all that being said, I will be looking to trade draft picks (most likely my 6th, 8th, or 9th rounders) for better keepers as the offseason progresses.

Addai is proven and in a great offense. No way you drop him for McFadden.
Looks like I will be drafting 2nd to last in every round next year. I just set my line-up for this week and could only laugh at what I have to work with.
For keepers, I think I keep Manning, Portis, and Williams (picks 1-3) for sure. Then I will probably keep Deuce, who I claimed from waivers, and Michael Bush, who I drafted in the 9th. I expect good things from him next year. I'm for sure not keeping Ahman Green and doubt I keep S. Moss unless I don't hear good news on Bush or Deuce.

IAC, the rule is that all TD's scored by individual players count towards the individual's fantasy score. The Vrabel Rule has always been in effect in RIFC, and we're using those rules here for the most part.
Curtis' fumble recovery TD will be counted.

Thanks guys... was just trying to stay as active as possible. Luckily football is the type of "system" that I can still focus on, due to the way the waiver system is setup. I pretty much gave up on hockey and baseball years ago (although they had been the sports most cherished to me in my childhood).
FYI - I'd love to hear some trade talk in this offseason. I won't be having a great spot in the draft, so I gotta make sure that I'm SOLD on my 5 keepers. I got a pile of QBs and TEs that may interest certain players for the longterm... I'd most likely be looking to make a move for a franchise WR.

I know it's early to start considering changing the rules... but I thought beyond our 5 keepers that we'll be keeping, I thought it might be kewl if we had 1-2 "optional" IDP keepers. I think this would make IDP a little more than an afterthought at least. Then next year, if it works well, maybe we can increase the # of IDP keepers again.
Thoughts?

IAC - congrats to a great season. TB, congrats to making it to the finals. We have a good group of guys here, and I look forward to continued success of the league going forward.
Re 109 - I think free agent pickups are frozen...only trades are allowed.
Re 114 - I definitely think we should institute some sort of IDP Keeper Rule (seemy post 62). It is likely too late to install this for 2008, but 2009 should be looked into. IDP's will be too much of an afterthought because we are only keeping 5 players, so a 5+1 (or 2) rule is probably a good idea.
As I said earlier, I will be looking to trade some of my picks going into the draft to upgrade my keepers. Ideally, I'd like a keepable QB going into next season.

Offseason deal has been made:
to Leggestand:
Ben Roethlisberger (1st year of 10th round contract) +
Larry Fitzgerald (1st year of 3rd round contract) +
19th round pick (19.14)
to IAC:
Roddy White (1st year of 24th round contract) +
7th round pick (7.01)
At first look, some may think the deal looks "un-even", but it's really a case of my team having TOO MANY potential keepers right now, and trying to improve my draft for next year.

I confirm the trade.
I am also working on a roster spreadsheet that should be beneficial to everyone to play around with leading up to next year, so, look for that in the next couple weeks.

I'll be back in town this weekend and I'll write more at that point.
Personally, these kinds of trades are why I wish we would have locked offseason transactions. But as they're allowed under the rules, I can't see anything to complain about really. This trade increases parity, and that's good for the league.
I've already compiled roster spreadsheets for the official records. Additionally I have a sheet with all of the team transactions made throughout the season. I'll e-mail them out to the league after I clean them up and format them.

I think it's going to be fun trying to pick our keepers. I have more than 5 I'd like to keep.

The interesting thing will be... whichever you have ranked top 5 right now, may not still be the same 5 come draft day.

I have put together a spreadsheet showing our rosters in draft format (i.e. each pick and the round he corresponds to). This should be useful, particularly as we declare keepers and get closer to the draft.
Since I don't know how to post it, I have emailed it to Dave, so, that maybe he could set up a link like he does with the RI_C standings pages?

Hmm, I've neglected my duties as commissioner once again. Sorry I never got around to compiling the promised spreadsheet and sending to everyone.
leggestand, I'll check out what you've sent me and then forward it to everyone else if it matches up with my records. Thanks a lot for taking the time to work that.

No prob, Erik, and I don't mean to step on any toes. I just needed a spreadsheet like the one I sent to see where the draft currently stands. It helps me see where I will have picks and organize keepers that I think other owners are leaning towards. Helps with the strategy...
Looking forward to the next year already!

Just for confirmation... since Legge won the "toilet bowl", this should be the drafting spots for each round next year correct?

Ben - That's what I also assumed and is how I set it up in my spreadsheet. If that was wrong, then we'll have to re-arrange some of the columns.

I sent out a message to the league yesterday to get an idea about who is coming back for 2008. Beezer's e-mail bounced the message back with an error. Just in case anyone else didn't get the message, I'll repost it here.
RG Keeper 14 League Managers,
I'm gearing up for the new season and I wanted to touch base with everyone in the league to make sure you are coming back for 2008. Please hit me back at this e-mail address and let me know your plans. If anyone is not sure or is leaning toward dropping out, please help me by telling me now rather than later.
We'll talk soon about the keeper declarations and the draft (mid-August start). For now, though, I'm looking for input on availability for the whole season. Actually, if you could also forward any possible conflicting vacation plans that would be great, too.
Erik (Mötley)

Thanks MC for posting this - I changed email addresses and apparently didn't have yours in the mail I sent out about the change. My new address is attached.
I'm in but will have limited access the last half of July - August should be no problem though.

I still haven't heard from Challenger. I think everyone else replied. We may have a vacancy. I'm trying to work that out. If we wind up having one (or two) I'll want to solicit league input for invitations to replacements.

Huhhhh, I replied just as soon as I received the email. But after checking my records, I probably didn't hit "send". So, ya I'll be back. Sorry if it held things up. (Just proves those memory pills don't work)

So what type of timetables are we looking at for upcoming events? When will we declare our keepers/start drafting?
I noticed that the RIFC starting drafting last year around the 15th of August... I think I personally would like it if we can start "slightly" before that.

Are we still considering the possibility of some rule "adjustments"? How about possible expansion?

I_A_C et al,
I think the draft is going to wind up starting the week of the 18th of August. I think we're looking at something like 20 rounds, with most managers probably keeping 5 players. I will be out of the country until 15 August, so I'd prefer to start after that. I don't want to go to Europe and have to draft. With a shorter draft than RIFC, it shouldn't take us long to knock it out, either.
Regarding expansion, it may be difficult to configure this year. At this point, Sludge needs to be replaced. He is out for sure. So we will need a new manager, and I'd like it to be someone of the proper caliber for this league.
I am going to start a new thread laying out our issues and re-posting the rules later today. If you have any suggestions on rules tweaks, go ahead and list them and I'll add them to our list of topics for the new thread.
Keeper declarations will likely be due sometime on or about 17 August.

I got no problem starting a little later than the RIFC, since as you mentioned we'll be hitting off less rounds... but I'd like a little more "mock time", meaning, if we can have the keepers set about a week prior (or more), then I can at least have a good idea of which picks will be open, and who will already be off the board for the first few rounds.
As far as rule changes go... I don't think many managers will be keeping IDP, so I think we should ADD to the 5 keepers, maybe 2 IDPs that we would have the option of keeping.
