I also sent you all a formal MFL invitation. Please go to the site and sign in and maybe take a peek at your team.
We are working on the dues rate for 2015.
Nine (!) of you did not pay the $40 dues for 2013 and none of you paid $20 for 2014. We (your treasurer, Valkrie) and I are working on the spreadsheet so you can see where the money went. Six of you will have a credit due to having won in either 2013 or 2014.
Apparently drafttime is also ready to go, so I will send those out once we have all managers signed up.
Please continue to sign in here so we can all see who is baaaaack!

So dues are 25 a year? Nobody paid last year? So did the winners not receive anything? Will new owners have to pay 2 years dues. I think accounting should be our number 1 priority right now.

Beastie. I am working on accounting. If you look at the spreadsheet sent out a few weeks ago, winnings were listed as credits so several mangers owed nothing or have a credit. A new owner from last year owes 2014 and 2015. The new owner this year owes 2015 dues.
Trust me, I am trying to get folks to pay up, but I do not have much leverage..
I have been emailing them privately... Might really start to pester them soon...five people owe dues.

1. The season starts September 10 this year. Beginning the draft August 24 would be beginning after preseason week 2. MFL drafts go fast, do they not? Could we start August 31, after preseason week 3, and be ready by opening day?
2. Starting "early bird" drafting on the Friday at the beginning of a weekend of preseason games caused problems last year -- people wanting to see the outcome of the game in which their expected #1 choice was playing before picking. It might be best avoided?

The draft needs to be finished by Labor Day weekend, preferably by Friday September 4th so we can set things up and do the waiver thing.
Starting August 31 only gives us 5 days for the draft.
However...
I just checked last year and the first round finished August 24 and the draft ended August 30. We did about 2 rounds a day and after round 3 there were at least 13 predraft auto picks per round.
If we can keep to that schedule it would work...11 managers averaged under 40 minutes per pick...
I really do not want to be pushing people to draft over the Holiday weekend. They are often out and about, me included.

So it could be keepers August 24.
Draft opens untimed Friday, August 28 so that managers could draft when their #1 remains uninjured. Need to open it so people can set predraft picks!
Draft opens timed (3 hour limit) at 8:00 EDT Monday August 31. Pause is midnight. No weekend pause if we get there...
How does that look?

Guys,
I will be working on the draft order this weekend. It is a straight snake.
Anyone want to check the trade/draft exchange list from 2014 and post it? Thanks.
Deepsnapper emailed that he would be posting his keeper list tonight. Who will be next?
Right now the schedule calls for keepers to be due August 24. The draft to begin August 31 officially, but open for pre set picks on the 28th. Speak now or forever hold your tongue if you disagreed with these dates.
Also there are a few of you have not paid. Don't make me publish your names. Please pay up. I will be sending you individual emails in the next day or so in addition to the ones you have already received.

Are you kidding me last time I had a shitty team I dropped down 2 places and missed Foster by one slot for the back up clown at Miami for 3 years (since retired I think). Now I should be #1 and drop as far as I can so I miss the RB's again all because I lost Bradford, C. Johnson and Cruz to injury last year. Not like I punked the league I did win 3 games w/o them. Honestly given what I had to start with 4 or 5 years ago I don't deserve this. Where am I supposed to post my keepers- I can't find a 2015 RG24 keeper forum.

Valkyrie - I feel your pain my man. Going 7-20 was never in my plans. The Lions were snake-bit too. Bottom line is we had our butts handed to us by the AFC in league play.
Didn't Foster sign with Houston as a F/A practice squad plaer in 2009? Was he available in the G24 2010 draft?

I'm taking a flier on Ray Rice unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. Gambling on a RB is always an option, but worth it sometime.

GO I would prefer to be the first team out of the playoffs to 3-23 with the fourth pick. At least you have 9 keepers. Whatever maybe they will all get hurt again and I can finally get an RB next year.LOL
Last year I had pick 21 with no RB's so miracles do happen. It's just that I have been waiting for a shot at a quality RB ever since I joined this league amd I didn't really have anything to start with then either. Oh well I have had my bitch.

I realize this is a deep league and all that, but I'm not sure how this team finished middle of the pack last year. Austin Davis and Blake Bortles as QB and not a single WR scoring over 100 points? I looked at the draft expecting a top 7 pick. My defense is good though!

Just to double check because I haven't seen anything in the rules and I don't know if there's a set that written out somewhere else.
I can't keep say 8 and then get an extra draft pick earlier in the draft? It's 9 no matter what, and if I don't pick 9 you'll pick a 9th for me.

Quicklinks are:
Scoring rules
League Bylaws
I doubt if the Bylaws have been updated to reflect the IR roster position added this year. There are specific requirements a player has to meet to use the slot and also when a payer can be added back to the active roster.
I can't honestly say I have looked at it the past few years, but if in doubt, post a question to the forum and you'll get an answer.
Again, welcome aboard Kyle !!!

I think the Injured Reserve (IR) blot would require a league vote. We have such a lean Waiver Wire as it is including byes, taking potentially 24 players off the W/W would decrease it further. I personally would not be in favor of such a change.
Also rules related to processing of an IR would have to be adopted. IIRC, a rule change requires 2/3 majority. Brain strain!!!

Kenny Stills, Jonas Gray, and Steven Ridley are on my bubble. Stills is a top 50 dynasty receiver, and hard to part with if i do so.
i'm interested in draft pick deals, or possible a 2 or 3 for 1, if a team needs depth.

Only one is valid, but I don't recall which one. The other trade needs to be reversed.

Actually Found my 2014 transaction page and both are correct.
I got the CAR D in trade from the Lions on 10/23
I then traded them to the Bengals on 11/4
I then picked then back up on wavers on 11/29.
I couldn't figure out why they are on my team today, so apologies for the confusion.

Also, I've changed my position on eliminating D/ST. I now support it, but not enough to lead the charge to change it.
This is something that's been tossed around the last few years and a few people felt pretty strong about eliminating them.
We did attempt to mute the scoring last year. Was that enough or does it still need to be eliminated?

I'm leaning towards WR Donte Moncrief as my odd man out on keepers. He's currently ranked #35 dynasty WR on footballguys.com (between Jarvis Landry and Jeremy Maclin)... notably higher than guys like Stills and Harvin. Let me know if interested in adding him to your squad.

They are very lucky that Doug volunteered to check over the lists. It's not like they didn't know the deadlines.
We just can't have that level of non cooperation. There is too much to do to set up this league every season. Owners should have some responsibility for its success.

Two highly active managers on the boards and many other leagues I'm in with them. My guess it was just a glitch on the website. 24 teams something bound to go wrong.
I could probably enter them all before people wake up this morning if needed. :)
Good job Judy and Doug getting us all ready...
As commish for 10-12 teams, 3 of them, it is hard enough to get those managers all set. 24 teams has to be hair pulling!

Yeah, to me this is just part of the deal. If managers consistently violate rules over and over again over a period of time, that's a problem. But one or two teams either forgetting or having a website glitch ain't too bad for 24 teams, and IMO does not require any sort of discipline. WG and Slizz have track records of being reliable managers and members of this community.
OK, so I'm setting draft to untimed and letting it start now (I think that's what I'm supposed to do, let me know if not)...

Why can't the system remove a player from My Draft List once they get picked and are no longer available?
Same with predrafted lists.

Hi Michael -
When going to the For Owners > Draft these players are removed from the My Draft List as they are acquired.
They will not be removed on the For Owners > My Draft List as that is your set list.
As for pre-drafts, the only time you pre-draft is if you do not expect to be able to make the next pick, so you would use the For Owners > Draft to make your selection and then it will automatically pick when it is your turn. So you are not intended to re-enter the draft room and therefore not removed.

Yes, Draftime beautifully updates things so I don't have the extra work of tracking who was picked and taking them off my list. Of course its dumb to pay for just upgrade that when the draft utility is comparable otherwise.
I also complained to MFL. My response
Thanks for the feedback. It is something that others have expressed as well, so we have it on our list to make that option more robust and user friendly for next season!

I am in the same boat with no picks left, in a position that doesnt usually have a backup. I compounded the problem by missing the draft instantly wrapping back around to me before I went to bed Friday night, so now I have to hope we can get at least one day of waivers so I can get a replacement.

Are you guys ready for some football?!? I know I sure am!
That said, the cop in me feels I need to address something to serve as a reminder before the season begins:
Our by-laws matter, no matter how trivial they might be.
I mention this because of an incident that occurred last season: As a refresher, Ref sent an email to the league about a player that was picked up while he was on IR and inserted into said team's starting lineup. While the manager intentions were what he felt was in the best interest of his team (I.E. wanting to accumulate as much talent as possible, so he could compete sooner then later), it was still wrong to do as it went against our by-laws.
I was the manager who pointed that violation out to Ref. I was sour because I dropped Joseph Randle to comply with our by-laws and did not get him back. I knew Randle had good keeper potential, but my team was decimated by injuries and byes, so with Randle on the bye (& Demarco healthy), I felt he was the easiest to cut and have a good chance of getting him back. MJD shrewdly claimed him and I was left SOL with respect to Randle. I looked at other rosters, saw that violation, and promptly pointed it out to Ref to get his thoughts. How is it fair that I, along with other managers, are doing things to comply with our by-laws and others are not?
I could've easily done the same thing and, as a result, kept Randle. I only tell this because we owe it to the other members of this league to field the best possible rosters each week, even if it could potentially hurt us in the long run.
This league should be should be fun for all members above all else. I get it's challenging to rebuild a team and it doesn't happen overnight, but please follow the by-laws.
As a suggestion, I feel laying out consequences for violating the rules would serve as a deterrent for something like that happening. Thoughts?
In this example, we are fortunate the player was not kept and, despite costing the team 1-2 wins and altered the NFC playoff seeding, the team did not benefit from the lottery.
If something like that was to happen again, my personal feeling would be to forfeit the keeper status of said player and the team is not eligible for the draft lottery. I know Ref had eluded to stripping of draft pick(s), but this league is supposed to be fun above all else. The team committing such a violation shouldn't benefit from getting a primo pick too. To show flex, the team would still keep their first, but pick 16th.
/ end rant.
Good luck to all this season.

I'll second Slizz. In a league this deep it is very easy to have a key injury or two and suddenly know that you are eliminated from being competitive. Throwing it in the tank and grabbing an IR player who might help you next year is a logical step.
One of the issues that needs to be addressed is what should be done if a manager starts a player who is on the IR. I think a distinction should be made between a player who was picked up and started vs. a keeper or a player who was drafted and subsequently injured.

I would concur with Slizz, and also with Frizz about the difference between picking up and starting an injured player, versus keeping a player you already have in the lineup. And there will have to be distinctions: e.g. what if a player is declared "Out" Sunday morning? Saturday? Friday?
It would help to have the actual league rule in front of us. Here is a link to the rules from the old website:http://www.angelfire.com/games5/gurupie/footcon.html.
I cannot actually see a rule there applicable to this situation. Perhaps somebody else can find it.

Frick - I agree. There is nothing wrong with that strategy provided that you can comply with the rules.
Sometimes one needs to make tough decisions to comply with setting a proper lineup. If the person is obviously injured and not playing, they shouldn't be in the lineup. Period. If they're a game time decision and you keep them in and they don't play, so be it. Even in the smartphone era, its not reasonable to expect someone to be monitoring their lineups till the last minute every single week.
I know we've discussed adding an injured reserve slot. Originally, I was against it as the pool of players is already thin enough. However, I am warming up to it with some modifications. I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not, but maybe having injured 1-2 IR slots for a player who was kept and injured during the season. If the player is lost during the season, the free agent pool is already thin enough, but they would still be able to find a marginal replacement to encourage competitiveness without crippling roster space.
In the above quasi-proposal, someone like Jordy Nelson would not be privy to that. While its unfortunate Nelson was lost for the year, it is still pre-keepers, so one could find an alternative keeper. If you allow the IR exemption to players in the preseason, it almost encourages the person to keep a player like Nelson. As a result, they would have a distinct advantage heading into the following year with basically 10 keepers.

While we are on the subject of rosters, I have noticed a trend where teams have started skill position players on their bye weeks. Other than QB or DST, that shouldn't be encouraged.

Hi guys,
just getting back to the thread.
This is our rule:
Should owners be allowed to submit players on bye as starters? Yes
MY TAKE: With the limited player pool and our small rosters, I think the loss of points from the bye players is enough of a "punishment". If you had to fill all the byes, this league would be a madhouse of drops/adds/waivers and only those with early access to a computer would be the benefactors!
We also have this:
In case of an IR violation, prevent owner from submitting lineup? No
This is from Toral in #195 above:
Looked at last year's e-exchange on this topic and found the existing rule:
"You must have a healthy player in your lineup each week. No IRs or Known OUTS/inactives/Suspensions"
MY TAKE: Regarding the game time decisions -- even in this time of smart phones -- if a guy is a game time decision and does not play, I do not believe you should punished. Some folks set the lineups and then do not have access (to Glaser for example on Fox) to know if the guy is IN or OUT. I know I sometimes miss an IN/OUT because I miss the FOX pregame show...
I think Toral's line above should be:
"no players in a game day lineup who is on IR, OUT, inactive or suspended as listed on the MFL site 24 hours before gametime."
(Question: what is the definition of "inactive"? Same as "OUT"?)
But then the issue becomes what do we plan to do about it???
We also have this:
Are Partial Lineups Allowed? No, partial lineups are never allowed.
So there currently has to be some kind of player (an alive one is good) in each position in your lineup. Not quite sure the punishment but my guess is that you cannot submit a lineup at all so your whole team gets a ZERO!

Illegal partial lineup -- I took Nick out, I got this in red at the top.
You Must Select 1 QB (0 selected)
You Must Select 13 Starters (12 selected)
Lineup Not Accepted!
If we did the IR rule as a "yes", your lineup would not be accepted.
In case of an IR violation, prevent owner from submitting lineup? No
We could vote to change this to yes and this would solve a key issue...

As stated above, I would be in favor of an IR spot provided it is reserved for a keeper who was healthy after the keeper deadline and gets injured.
Turning on a universal IR slot all but encourages hoarding and I would be against it.
Obviously, we would have to police this ourselves.

1, 203 Judy: I believe MFL allows the Commish to set the rules to allow a partial lineup if she wishes.
The danger cited by people against allowing partial lineups in the past is that it allows a team that isn't really trying to win to hoard players at skill positions who might be future keepers (because they have an additional roster spot because they left a position blank).
I would be for allowing partial lineups but forbidding their misuse for the reason above. I think that team that got a zero by mistake would be pretty ticked off.
2. I'm for an IR position as Slizz recommends, but it does not resolve the basic problem at all. (I.E., suspended/IR/BYE players in lineups).

i suppose the entire concept of being forced to fill one's lineup bothers me.
as other's have said, this league is filled with difficult decisions - among those, should be the option to take the goose egg and keep a good player for the future, or drop that player and fill the hole.
as for the IR position, i'm in a league that forces you to keep a player you put in that slot.
it involves a certain amount of strategy, because if you use that spot for a back up RB you think might be a starter the following season; and then Dez Bryant goes on IR, well, then you're SOL.

Well, to put it bluntly, the problem is with teams that are no longer trying to win games, because they are rebuilding from Week One, or becuz they have decided they won't make the playoffs.
Tree, not to pick on him, said the problem is the question whether "to take the goose egg and keep a good player for the future, or drop that player and fill the hole".
Well, if you've given up, that's not a problem. You keep the good player for the future. The problem comes when as a result you lose a game to Team X and as a result Team X gets into the playoffs instead of Team Y. Then Holy Hell breaks loose, and rightly so.
I have stated my views to Judy in response to an e-mail from her. No team ought to be allowed to play a BYE player except at QB or D/ST when there are often are no starters available. The question should only be as to the range of penalties.

As I have previously stated, ar IR slot is not possible at this time with the current rules and thin F/A availability.
A solution is to bring this up in the offseason as a rule change and vote, 2/3 owners required to pass it and it's done. Same thing applies to keeping D/ST, allowing incomplete roster, etc.
We have the capsbilities to modify the leage, but it ccannot be applied while the league is in season.
I can appreciate everyone's feelings as I carried AD and Ray "knockout" Rice all seaon after week one and am not aware of placing either in the starting lineup all season. Did it require some creative addds/drops during the year(?) I'd liketo think so, but I had a lousey record anyway. I played on though, albeit not as well as if I'd had my star RB.
Where is all this rule change discussion in the offseason when something couod be done?
Let's play ball and play with who you've got, not who you'd like to have.

deepsnapper, I am sympathetic.
But the basic issue doen't involve rule change.
We already have a rule:
"You must have a healthy player in your lineup each week. No IRs or Known OUTS/inactives/Suspensions"
That has been a rule for as long as this league has existed.
The essential question is about enforcement, and penalties.

A suggestion for enforcement. If anyone in the league notices a violation, they should bring it up on the this thread. The first time an owner violates this rule during a given season should be a warning. Further violations should result in forfeiting one of next seasons draft picks. Not sure which pick. He would have to pick up a player after the draft to fill out his roster.

Toral - agreed, but a bye week player can be inserted in your line up, or you have to make a tough decision on waiving a "marginal player" to acquire a legal one.
I agree a roster slot is valuable, but everyone's played a bye week player at one time or another and I'm not aware on any "all-star" rosters in the league that can't afford 1 roster replacement. We do play speculative players.
No one knew Joe Randle was Murray's replacement. He had gun charges he was accused of in Wichita KS last year from an incident with his "baby mama" and was conavicted of shoplifting in Frisco earoier this year from an incident in 2014 also. I don't know who the #1 RB in Dallas is and I've been around following the Cowboys since 1960...HEY
If a settting in MFL will prevent NE1from inserting an I/R or SUS player in the lineeup, I'm for that, but someone cannot be penalized for an Acctive player going on the IR/POP/SUS list while game week is on.
Hard to manage by the Commish and not everyone pays as much attention to their rosters as they could. Should they be penalized? Only if it is intentional and can be proven by/time or roster insertion on a known IR player. A penalty should result in that case, but what? Can't decide that now.
Good discussion BTW.

I disagree. I have never knowingly played a bye week player except at QB or D/ST.
And frankly, I don't remember you ever doing so either. I'm in your division and follow your roster.

Basic outline of what TD suggests seems reasonable. A warning, then maybe a draft pick loss after 2nd violation etc.
Also not sure if I'd prefer public shaming here or maybe anonymous to the commish - (side note, is that officially Judy at this point or she just holding the fort down til somebody steps up?) Perhaps anonymous to the commish and then commish posts here would be ideal. So people don't feel like someone is picking on them, but the public is still made aware.
And it should be IR in starting lineup for sure a violation, or anyone definitely out with long term injury beyond just a game day decision.

If we have a rule that says "You must have a healthy player in your lineup each week. No IRs or Known OUTS/inactives/Suspensions"
A simple penalty (even if after the fact) is the manager must drop a player and add someone from the WW, even if it is after the fact.
I think the main intent is to keep teams from intentionally tanking and hording injured players for the following year.
I know that I've kept Cutler on my roster for several years when he was injured and had to dedicate a bench spot to him for the rest of the year. I even started Julian Edelman at QB when he had a QB/WR designation.
It also helps keep teams from getting lucky in their division and being gifted wins from teams that are tanking.

MFL has an option where if you try to start an IR player you cannot submit your lineup.
That is an easy thing to "monitor" since the site does it.
214 GO. -- traditionally this league doesn't get its act together until they are required to name keepers, so that is probably why most probably did not even notice your note.
208. Once the season is over, it is hard to get anything discussed. Folks are footballed out.
However, I do think we can, NOW, present and vote on a change(s?) for 2016 -- so fire away.

DS - nobody knew about Randle given the cloudy situation RB situation in Dallas. All I knew was he weighed 225 and was the pending FA Demarco's backup. I made a bad call. I was just frustrated that I didn't say "screw it" and started him on a his bye...or dropped Patrick Willis in hindsight hahaha
Agree with GO and Judy - We should put it to a vote for 2016. Like I stated above, I would be against a blanket IR spot because it will be abused.
My proposal would be as follows: any keeper injured and placed on IR, after the keeper deadline, is eligible to be placed in the spot. Additionally, any player drafted and placed on IR, after the draft concludes, would be eligible. No FA pickups are eligible.
It stinks for the owner that drafted David Cobb in the first only to see him injure himself in the 3rd preseason game. As a result, he is eligible for the spot in the above proposal.
Policing doesn't need to be put to a vote, it just needs to be enforced. I disagree with the warning on the first violation. What if someone just blatantly starts all injured players? Is that deemed warning worthy?
My point is that no situation is the same. I know that would never happen because that person wouldn't be a gurupie...that said, it would have to be handled as a case by case basis.

On another topic, I regret my Dri Archer spot start last night 😡.
Got bad info from Twitter that he was the top backup. Given two of my backs (Michael and West) are likely to be healthy scratches this week and Langford not likely to get touches, I thought it was a good calculated risk! .88 points later makes me wish I kept Jones.

Definitely need 2 if not 3 commishes to run this thing so hopefully someone will step up and if there are a few we can do a private vote. 3 probably ideal to have an odd number of voices to decide on how to steer issues as they arise as well as dividing up the work. Not something I have the time to even consider unfortunately. Although randomly... for now at least... I have access to MFL at work. No ESPN or Yahoo... but somehow MFL is not blocked. Probably just jinxed it.

did I miss anyone relevant?
it is not yet known if all of them will miss next week but this would make a fine fantasy team. I guess this will be a busy waiver wire this week. Havn't looked if all the backups to these injured players are already owned or if there are some up for grabs.
the good thing is that no newly injured players are on my team. the bad thing is I started the season with 3 of my keepers sidelined. the best is: it looks like I will win both games and will put up the most points of all teams.

Do we want this scoring rule?
Question
1. Why didn't I get points for an offensive player like a QB, RB or WR recovering a fumble from one of his teammates (or, his own fumble) in the end zone for a touchdown?
Answer: On Sunday of Week 5, the Falcons scored a TD when Devonta Freeman fumbled the ball on a rushing play, and the ball rolled into the end zone, and then Julio Jones fell on it for a touchdown. (side note - Freeman also scored a 6 yard Rushing TD on a totally different play in the same game).
This TD by Jones is considered to be an "Offensive Fumble Recovery TD" for the player. So you'll have to add that rule to your scoring on the Reports > Rules > League Scoring screen as needed if you want this to count for your league.
You can use either of these rules:
"Number of Offensive Fumble Recovery TDs"
or
"Length of Offensive Fumble Recovery TD". Since 0 yard offensive fumble recoveries can happen when a player falls on the ball in the end zone, be sure to make the scoring for this start at zero yards, and go all of the way up to 100 yards.
After you make the change to your rules, the system will put a confirmation message on your league home page, and that will allow you to choose whether or not to apply the new rule changes to all weeks or just future weeks. Note that the same type of play happened last week when Ed Dickson of the Panthers recovered a 57 yard Offensive Fumble and Scored a TD. You can view all of these types of unusual plays on the "Help > Strange Plays" menu item in your league

If this is an "old rule" (i.e., on the CBS site we got credit for these types of plays, but when we transitioned to MFL this particular setting just never got configured because it's a bit unusual), then I'd be ok for doing it retroactively.

I don't know if this is in the rules or if it is only how it is currently set up at MFL, but I don't like that dropped players are locked for exactly 24 hours and are then free for all.
I think this is now the third time this season where I like a player that was locked. unfortunately the player unlocks at a time when I am not online (=sleeping). since I guess he is also wanted by someone else I will miss out on him simply because I am not online when he unlocks. wouldn't it be better to place dropped players on waivers and have daily waivers until sunday? In this scenario I would have a chance depending on my waiver order.
looking at my team I need fresh and healthy players. only 2 of my 8 keepers will have played all of their games after this week. all others missed at least 1 if not multiple games. 3 are already out for the season.
R Wilson 7/7
J Bell 4/7 - his stats feel more like 0/7
A Foster 4/7 - will finish 4/16
K Benjamin 0/7 - will finish 0/16
V Jackson 6/6 - will miss the next game and probably more
C Johnson 4/7 - his stats feel more like 0/7
JJ Watt 7/7
D Levy 1/7 - will probably finish 1/16
BAL D 7/7
It is a miracle that I am still in the lead of the AFC east and #3 in the AFC. it must suck to be a NFC team looking at the AFC standings.
there is a small hope that I assemble a competitive team by week 14 and somehow advance a week in the playoffs.

Youngroman:
Last year conversion to a daily-waiver system just as you recommend was discussed. It came up when a player then considered highly valuable was dropped, and it was noted that daily waivers on dropped players would just be replicating our practice at CBS.
Indeed, at the request of one of the commissioners I was temporarily given powers and changed the calendar as I thot would create a daily-waiver system. My idea failed. I experimented with the set-up. It put everybody on waivers, so there were no free-agent pickups. I put everything back as it was.
Again at the request of one of the commissioners I submitted a ticket to MFL asking how to create a system with all our current features except daily-waivers on dropped players. This was their advice:
"To set up your waiver events you will need to do the following:
1. Go to the Setup > Waivers Setup > Waivers/Free Agents Setup and choose
Once a player is dropped, he is "locked" until: X days
2. Enable the option "Allow owners to submit requests for recently dropped (or "locked") players separately from other players (free agents), as subject to league calendar rules?" to separate waivers/FA.
3. Turn on the last option "Prevent Owners From Making FCFS Waivers/Free Agent Moves Between Kickoff of that player's game and the end of the last game of the week?"
4. Now, go to the Setup > Waivers Setup > Waiver Rules Calendar Setup and define the following 3 events:
Waiver Request Sun Aug 31 1:00:00 p.m. ET 2014, ends never (Happens 17 more weeks.)
No FA Moves Allowed Sun Aug 31 1:00:00 p.m. ET 2014, Wed Sep 3 3:00:00 p.m. ET 2014 (Happens 17 more weeks.)
Waiver Request (Locked Players Only) Wed Sep 3 12:00:00 p.m. ET 2014, ends never (Happens 17 more weeks.)
Waivers will then run from Sunday's kickoff until Wednesday for all players. At that time waivers will process and dropped players will be locked and available on waiver request. These players will process nightly at 3am following their unlocked time. All other players are available on a first come, first served basis until the following Sunday. "
Note that the dates apply to last year.
A problem is that I am not 100% sure that following these instructions would not accidentally change some other feature of the way we do things, and the only way to test is to do it in-season, with the danger of calamity if the new calendar screws things up.
There is where the matter came to a rest last year.
Come to think of it, these changes might also address the complaint some have made about not being able to submit waiver claims until after 10:30 Monday night.

sorry for showing up late. my laptop died yesterday. not a good day for me and today hasn't started much better.
there are a lot more valuable DB's than RB/WR out there. my DB won't play this week and is likely out until week 12, so I am getting rid of him anyway. with a very low waiver position I thought that I add a claim for a speculative RB add and see how his situation unfolds until Sunday and then make the change and pick up a DB. I have other problems this week too because of all the injuries (6) and byes (6), so I can't take this gamble with any of my healthy players. of course I will have each roster slot filled by Monday Night Football.
I don't see a reason why my roster needs to be legal at every time. I thought that it would be sufficient to be legal at MNF.

damn. Draughn was the guy all this "you have the have complete team at all time" debate was about. turned out he was the lead back and will be a popular add this week. with my knowledge from yesterday I would have still dropped him for a DB because his outlook was not that good.
my team is still a mess and playoff chances are getting smaller. I am not giving up yet. I guess this will come down to a showdown in week 13.

I am concerned that teams are keeping bye folks on their game day lineups. One team I played will get a note from me as commish, as he could have used bench players for those on bye.
I realize it was a tough bye week, but I am thinking we need to do something about -- maybe -- a limit to the number of byes you can have in your "active" lineup.
Some folks are still trying to make playoffs and these poor lineups are screwing things up for the entire league by giving wins to folks who should/might not have them.
If you played a team that you feel had too many bye players or who could have used bench players, please email me asap. I have already heard from two teams. Thanks.
Thoughts?

If they had bench players, that's one thing and should be discouraged. Absolutely. Occasionally someone might not have a chance to logon before Thursday games ( if that's the player they need to swap in) but usually at some point in the week they can set their lineup for the upcoming week for any eligible Sunday/Monday players . Violations of the should be exceedingly rare.
If they didn't have bench players, that's a totally different thing. They may have needed to drop a quality player to cover the bye, which should also be discouraged as it hurts long term competitiveness. I'm in seven leagues, six of them keeper/dynasty... I don't believe a single one of them has a rule that forces managers to cover bye weeks by dropping players.
Distribution of byes sometimes means you'll have a week where you can't fill every hole. Yes, teams should do their best to be competitive, but different ways to achieve that... Let's not micromanage people's teams. If you happen to have 4 or 5 players on bye in a given week, that can be impossibke to cover (depending on what positions they play) without hurting your teams long-term competitiveness. Let's not be shortsighted about what a competitive team means.

personally, i think that forcing someone to drop stronger players on bye for weaker players that aren't on bye is not seeing the forest for the trees.
it might boost scores for that one week, but it will likely reduce scores for the entire season.
we play in a very deep league, and empty roster slots because of byes are going to happen. heck, because of player scarcity in positions like QB and Team D, bye holes are more likely than not to occur.
here's a suggestion - drop team Defense, and add an extra bench spot. that will reduce the number of players on bye being used significantly, because A) you won't have the inevitable team defense bye, and B) you have a deeper bench,

While I value and understand the opinion of not micro managing the league - I think it is important to manage week to week knowing you will have to make adjustments to your roster to cover bye week issues. The only position which should ever be an issue is QB-and even then, having a non bye week player (even if it is a Jimmy Clausen type) in the lineup should happen. The idea of managing a 24 league team is to be active, make tough choices and keep an active roster. Manage accordingly, look ahead, and plan accordingly. I may be in the minority on this, but just my two cents: Active rosters = no bye week players. At the end of the day, as long as we have a uniform guideline related to bye week players - I am fine with it. Unlike other league's I participate in, it is fun to churn and try to piece together a roster weekly -so I enjoy this part of the experience.

Make that 3 teams, Judy ;)
I went 1-1 and should've went 0-2. Despite my slow start, my team was actually positioned to make a playoff run with Bryant back, west, Langford, and Hopkins. I needed to run the table in a wide open AFC, but GO effectively ended it with a stellar performance.
Seahawks (promize?) - have you even checked your lineup?
You have ogletree in your lineup and he's been on IR for the Rams past 4 games plus their bye. Inexcusable. If you're not gonna invest in your team, it's not fair to the rest of the owners and you should consider if you still want to participate in G24. it was clearly stated at the beginning of the year that this is not acceptable. If i was commish, you would be picking 15th regardless of your finish.
I second CT's post in 285.
I also agree with tree about the elimination of DST.
That said, it's strategy to churn the bottom of your roster to compete...I've done it despite my position and had to cut some players like James Jones.

Maybe we should consider one IR slot for each team. Don't remember if we already discussed this. This will help teams set rosters that have no bye week or injured players. But with a league this large, it will remove some players from the scarce available player pool.

Haha I just fired without proofreading...point taken. But you know what I mean 😉
i would support IR slots for players that were keepers. In the case of the Seahawks, Ogletree would qualify for it. However, he still has jacquizz rodgers (IR) on his roster who has no business being owned in any format. Total neglect on his part...he easily could've fielded a valid roster but purposely chose not to.

I am with you Judy. we played the same opponent this week who had 4 slots filled with bye week players where suitable replacements were sitting on the bench. it did not change the outcome of the matchups this week but it would have been closer for both of us.
I accept that there are situations where it is tough to have a QB/K/DEF that actually plays. having a bye-week player active should be allowed for these positions, but not for others. there is always a RB/WR/TE/DL/LB/DB out there that will give you some points. having an injured player active should not be allowed for players that are deemed doubtful or worse during the week (through the official injury report) or that missed their last game. there may be a surprise DNP of a questionable player that is sometimes announced too late to get a replacement player. such a situation should not be penalized.
1 or 2 IR slots could help in some cases (it would have helped me a lot this year) but only if the players that are put on IR must be kept. otherwise this may get abused.

Doug / 283:
This week one team had two IDP on bye and 3 IDP on the bench who could have been active. (Points were 1.00, 6.00, 11.00). He also started a back up QB with zero chance of playing and benched a QB starter who earned 21.44 points. He still would have lost both but they would have been close.
That's what I am talking about.
I take issue with your definition of competitiveness. There is individual team competitiveness and there is also league competitiveness and someone who willingly does not activate a competitive lineup is not good for the league over all. That manager is being selfish.
What about league competitiveness, giving victories to opponents teams who do not deserve it -- because you refused to play available players. How does that make the LEAGUE competitive?

I desperately tried to pick up for my byes last week and utterly failed. I drafted the Saints (from a handful of dud DEF's at that point) specifically against the Titans, and they got steamrolled. I picked up Petty on waivers thinking he might have to start, and didn't. I picked up Vick thinking he might come in at least on some wildcats, and was a gametime scratch (ironically, Roth's came out of the game and Vick would've played). I picked up SD's third TE when Green was made doubtful, and he picked up no targets. I ended up 23 yards short of picking up a win when Floyd and Phillips got zero's. Bleh!
That being said, sometimes it just makes sense to put a bye player in when you are looking down the road to next week, or even the weeks after. I did such with a LB 3 weeks ago and ended up with the high score of the week that week. At the time he was my only healthy LB and I didn't want to let him go. Sadly, I was forced to when I needed a QB, but I had a couple other LB's come back since then.

Praying for a score correction after losing by .05! I still don't know what happened. I guess Beasley is Slizz's favorite player right now. I lose Leveon and score most I've scored all year after taking a 0 from my random RB spot start.
Nobody should have bye week starters with active guys on the bench. Nobody disagrees with that.
I can see scenarios where it really hurts a team to drop a key backup guy to add and fill a K or DEF spot when it likely won't make any difference... and it just hurts them more long term. I don't think that helps anybody.

I am thinking the issue is using bye players on your active roster when you have non bye players on your bench in those positions.
They should be playing not riding the bench.
I personally have no issue with byes for QB, K and DST since there are not enough to cover byes. But all other positions do have enough players to do so.
Also drafting to manage bye weeks can be done.

Drafting for bye weeks can be done, but it is hard in this league due to it being a keeper league and the size of the league and number of keepers.
It also forces very hard decisions on when to drop a player. If you have a rookie that you think will be good in future years, do you risk dropping him for a bye week fill in? For teams fighting for a play-off spot, probably. For teams that are rebuilding, not so much.
I don't believe I would support a rule that forced teams to drop players simply to find a bye week fill in. I would support a rule that penalized teams for starting bye week players when active players were on their roster.
That being said, I picked up a IDP after hearing that Jamie Collins was Questionable. Unfortunately I was busy and didn't have internet access when it was announced he wouldn't play. It was a calculated risk on my part. Between that a O from another IDP, I probably cost myself a chance at a win that I desperately need to make the play-offs.

I just have a problem with rewarding tanking and roster neglect. the lack of enforcement only encourages it.
How fair would it be if Leonard Fournette was coming out and those blatant losses rewarded that team with his services?
I understand there are going to be bad teams...but at least make an effort. No excuses for having bye week players in any position except QB, DST, and K (to a degree...if you own two kickers that's just a waste).
You start to penalize these infractions and the bs should stop. We are all grown ups and understand the rules and consequences of breaking them. If it's a time issue and you can't dedicate yourself to the league then maybe it's not for you. Believe me, I'm not asking for a lot. Just check your roster...it's 5 minutes out of your week...

Nerf - you're trying. Same with Frick and Collins. If a guy is questionable, so be it...I've had that happen to me in other leagues as I am tied up on something or playing with my daughter. Can't help it.
GO - Beasley or not, I just didn't bring it. Dropping Hunter for Inman didn't help bc of his TD...I'm still alive thanks to Promize (not happy about that) as I think 13-13 could get that 4 seed. However, 0-6 in the division isn't gonna help me come tiebreak time. 14-12 might've got it done as I'm pretty much clear of byes and have all wr/rb 1's who are healthy.
That said, I will be looking to trade Charcandrick West to an interested party. I need to go 8-0 to finish the season and still play Oakland / a couple heavyweights. Looking for draft picks only as I actually have a decent stable of keepers...

Slizz in 297 hit the key point (s).
This league should never allow the Philadelphia 76ers to participate.
Nerf - I agree -sometimes things happen. Not a big deal what you are describing with your lineup.
I am in favor of the 1 IR spot, provided it is keeper specific. This could resolve some of the minor roster issues week to week.
I think we can take these issues as an opportunity to improve things next year. Great topic and participation.

So, however long this league has been going, I have never tried to tank. I've always tried to maintain my team the best I could to be competitive...
Last week I had a million bye positions and I just decided to say I'm taking a loss this week...
I'm definitely not going to drop the only starters I have so I can pick up some scrub that has a .2 avg pts per game so everyone is happy go lucky in the league that a full lineup is available...
Anyways, I did notify GO and Judy this is probably my last year. The joy and fun of this league has pretty much diminished.

We had a vote to drop Def a couple years ago and it did not pass. I still support dropping Def, but I don't expect it to pass if we vote again.
I propose the following as a compromise to be voted on this offseason if it is possible to configure our league this way.
Change 'Number of Starting Defs:1' to 'Number of Starting Defs:0-1'.
Change 'Total Number of Starting Individual Defensive Players:5' to 'Total Number of Starting Individual Defensive Players + Starting Defs:6'
With this change, a manager can start a 6th IDP instead of a team defense.

I've got two tight ends with higher PPG than any of my RB's. Something isn't right with that. I'm interested in a RB that will score 10+ PPG on average, preferably someone without much keeper potential as I don't want to spend a lot(but will if the right player comes along).

#1 seed = division winner with best record
#2 seed = other division winner
#3 seed = wildcard team with best record
#4 seed = other wildcard team
tie breakers are points then # of TD's then highest weekly score
I hope GO got the memo that the winner of the AFC East must have a losing record to reach the playoffs. My team is doing fine in reaching that goal.

Judy - as far as I know the seeding of rest is not specified, but since the criteria is record then points for playoff teams why shouldn't it be the same for all other teams. I would not split them up based on conference, so that the field from 9-16 and 17-24 is more even. these games are just for fun and don't count for draft seeding, so it does not really matter.
GO - what is more interesting is that last year our division was the power horse of the whole league with all but 1 team with a winning record and 3 of 4 playoff teams were from the AFC East. This year it is the complete opposite. I know what happened to my team, just ask Arian Foster, Joique Bell, Kelvin Benjamin, Vincent Jackson, Charles Johnson, DeAndre Levy how good they played this year, if they even played.

I made a copy of them; I sent a copy of Judy pre-season so she has a copy of them; my guess is that they are still available.
They are the last "official rules".

I just saw that Gronk is out for today. I tried to pick up a couple of other TEs, but they only show as being able to be picked up for next week. I will not have internet access until late tonight. Hopefully no one else is having similar issues.

It always shows that on Sundays I feel like (on the player page, the "Add" button is under week 14)... but if you add the player before kickoff it will still do the transaction immediately. At least, that's been my experience all season... one of the many "glories" of MFL. :)

Were the TE's you tried add Ebron or Rodgers? Cause they already played, no idea otherwise... and where did you just see that he is out? I didn't think he had any chance of playing for several weeks?

my team is already in playoff form. Or should I say Russell Wilson is. He better teaches some of my other players that they should play like him.
re 282 - it happened again. this time not with bye-week players, but with injured ones: Ryan Mathews, Jimmy Graham, Karlos Williams and Tony Romo (he may be excused).

With 2nd half still to play, there are 5 teams in the NFC still playing for 3 of the 4 playoff spots. There's a chance for 5 teams to all end 16-10, so will be interesting to see if it holds up and the tie-breakers come into play.

Unofficial Draft Order (barring any change or penalties):
1) Colts
2) Chiefs
3) Jaguars
4) Seahawks

So another year where it comes down to the wire and I just miss out on the playoffs. This year it was with 44 secs to go in the last MNF game when DJax caught the TD that cost me a win and a spot in the playoffs. It wouldn't have mattered if my week 10 win vs KC had not been reversed after 3 scoring changes resulted in a 4 pt win turning into a 1 pt loss. Crazy but oh well...

Playoff Details from prior years:
Playoff Game Tiebreak Policy:
1st tiebreaker: Most TDs scored
2nd tie: Most TDs passing
3rd tie: Highest single scoring player
4th tie Next highest scoring player and so on
Playoff teams will be announced at the end of week #13, which is the end of the regular season. Playoff teams will be seeded accordingly:
#1 seed = division winner with best record
#2 seed = other division winner
#3 seed = wildcard team with best record
#4 seed = other wildcard team
Seeds #1/#4 and Seeds #2/#3 will play in week #14, with the winners advancing to meet for their respective conference championship in week #15. Each conference winner will advance to the SuperBowl to be held in week #16. Losers will also continue playing to vie for placement for cash prizes (if app.). i.e. If you lose in round one, the best you can do is 5th place.
Runner-Up playoffs: We run teams 9-16 (Wanna-be Bowl) and teams 17-24 (Toilet Bowl) in a single elimination version of our Super Bowl. All stats will count but only regular season records will be counted toward your draft order for the following year.
So here are the playoff seeds:
AFC
#1 Chargers vs #4 Texans
#2 Bengals vs #3 Raiders
NFC
#1 Bears vs #4 Cowboys
#2 Saints vs #3 Giants
Wanna Be Bowl:
#9 Lions vs #16 Panthers
#10 Packers vs #15 Broncos
#11 Browns vs #14 49ers
#12 Eagles vs #13 Ravens
Toilet Bowl:
#17 Vikings vs #24 Colts
#18 Jets vs #23 Chiefs
#19 Bills vs #22 Jaquars
#20 Cardinals vs #21 Seahawks

The other big reminder is that for all non-playoff teams #9-24, there are no Adds/Drops allowed at this point so one of the commishes needs to lock teams from transactions. Only the top 8 playoff teams are allowed transactions from this point forward as in all previous years.

Ugh, I would have rather lost all 12 of my remaining games then have been tie-breakered out of the playoffs. Now I have the most unenviable finishing spot in the league.
I can't really explain my collapse. I was humming along then all of my key players decided to get hurt, or not play, or just not play well. The only guy that actually picked up his game in the second half was Stafford, and even that wasn't enough. Tthere were a couple games I lost by less than 2 points that I could have won easily by picking the right players to start. I struggled with WR's all season and picked the wrong one to drop (Baldwin). I'm not sure James Jones is even on his team anymore.
On the bright side, It was a winning season, I got things turned around from a beyond awful season last year, and if I can find a WR this team might be tough to beat next year.

I think wildcard seeding should be based on points and not w/l record. Obviously we can't change it this year but it doesn't make much sense that we award the wildcards based on points but then do the seeding based on w/l. Kinda stinks my team scored the 3rd most points yet has to face the team that scored the 2nd most points in round 1. Our current setup could lead to the top 2 point totals facing off in round 1.

Looking back at the prior season's on MFL, I think I set a new record for Could Won games this year with 8, the previous high was 7 (I don't know if CBS had a similar stat). It didn't help that I had two weeks where my team was flat out awful. One of my Could Won games was 61-60, so I can't feel to bad.

Looks correct to me Judy.
[355] Not sure I understand. The seedings for Div Winner and wildcards are both done by W/L record first, then for any ties the total points scored are used. The only thing that is unique is that instead of seeding #1-4 based on record, the Div winner with the worst W/L record gets the #2 seed regardless of the records of the wild card teams.
It's just bad luck sometimes that a first round matchup may pit two top scoring teams against each other. We've had many discussions over the years about whether points scored should factor in more that W/L record for things like final wild card spots or playoff seedings, but the consensus was to not change the system. I was unfortunate to have a situation 2 years in a row ('08 and '09) where my team was the 2nd highest scoring team in the regular season out of 24 teams, but did not make the playoffs either year. In '08 I was actually tied for the final wild card spot in the NFC with the Giants, but the Giants just happened to be the #1 scoring team in the league that season, so they made it in over me.

I do think that we could look at adding other tiebreaker options ahead of points scored like head to head, division record and conference record. I'd like to see points scored be further down the list. Scoring a lot of points is good and will win you more games than not, but it still comes down to wins and losses and how you manage the bye weeks and injuries. If you win all your games by 30+ points, but lose several by just a few points, its still about your W/L record just like in the NFL.
My suggestion would be:
1st Tie-breaker: Head to Head record
2nd Tie-breaker: Division record
3rd Tie-breaker: Conference record
4th Tie-breaker: Total points scored
If we had applied those this year, the 3 NFC teams that were tied for the wild card spots at 16-10 would have resulted in the following:
NY Giants would have gotten the first wild card spot with head to head wins over both the Cowboys and Lions. The Cowboys and Lions split their 2 inter-division games, and also had the same division record of 6-4, so it would have been decided by the conference record where the Cowboys would have won. So the seeds would have been the same in this case, but in most years would probably give a different yet more conclusive outcome.
Although it didn't matter this year since I wasn't tied for a wildcard spot, but I was 9-1 in my division, yet finished 3rd based on overall record. Guess I just sucked against most other teams this year.

I thought it was the 2 division winners and then the next two teams with the highest point totals make the playoffs. Am I wrong? We actually base our playoffs on w/l first. So in theory the team with the most points could actually miss the playoffs? If so, that's outrageous. Points is the only thing we semi have control over. W/L is all luck.

Points only matter for tie-breakers. This has been the same since we created the league in 2002.
From the bylaws:
There will be 8 teams that make the playoffs. Each division winner (4) will make the playoffs. The next 2 teams with the best records AFC (east/west divisions) & the next 2 teams with the best records NFC (north/south divisions) will also make the playoffs. It is possible for both wildcards to come from the same division (IE west). If there is a tie at any level, the first tie breaker will be total points accumulated during the year. The second tie breaker will be most total TDs scored during the year. The third tie breaker will be the single highest week point total.

I realize we are all pretty old now and don't remember stuff much, but I was digging through some old threads and pretty much the same conversations were had many years ago about points. Check out This thread from 2009
Starting around post 386 and on down there was solid discussion both ways. It's funny bmd that you posted the same thing then (post 397 and others), but ultimately there was not enough support from the league to change the process. There were good ideas tossed out like 12 team playoffs vs 8, but this league has always been reluctant to make big changes and often it has probably been for the best.

Yeah I wish your proposal for last wildcard spot be based on points had made it through. It would have helped me again this year as I was the 6th highest scoring team in the league and would have edged out the Cowboys for the final NFC spot.
I think we can re-open the discussion since we've had several new managers since '09 and maybe the sentiment has changed. The other option that had some interest was adding 2 more playoff spots from each conference that would give us 12 total playoff teams, and starting the playoffs in week 13. Then top 2 teams from each conference would get a bye in week 13. It would reduce the regular season by 1 week, but since we have double headers that is still 24 games to get a good sample size for playoff positioning.

Yes congrats Doug on a great season and final playoff run!
Per current rules, tie-breakers are only based on total points, so Arizona would have the 5th slot and Buffalo the 6th slot. The top 16 draft picks are based on final regular season finish (as documented in post 350), where the bottom 8 are based on final playoff finish. I believe this list below is the correct draft order for 2016 (note round 1 top 16 spots will be based on lottery results).
1. Colts
2. Chiefs
3. Jaguars
4. Seahawks
5. Cardinals
6. Bills
7. Jets
8. Vikings
9. Panthers
10. Broncos
11. 49ers
12. Ravens
13. Eagles
14. Browns
15. Packers
16. Lions
17. Cowboys
18. Bengals
19. Texans
20. Saints
21. Chargers
22. Giants
23. Bears
24. Raiders

IR Proposal:
IR Slot #1 - A regular IR slot... if/when they come off IR, players must be activated within 48 hours (or whatever the appropriate grace period is).
IR Slot #2 - If your team gets really banged up, you can put a second player on IR. At this point, you must designate one of the two IR players as a keeper for the following year. Even if the player is activated during the season, the keeper designation holds. If the player is traded, the new team inherits this keeper requirement as well (and the new team must acknowledge their awareness of this designation prior to the trade being processed by commisioner(s)).
Both slots: After the Fantasy Championship, IR goes away. All teams with 1+ IR player must cut down their roster while maintaining a valid lineup (i.e., if you only have 1 K, you can't drop your K). Obviously players in IR Slot #2 can't be dropped. In short, nobody gets to carry extra players forward to the following year's keeper decision-making process.

In a deep league like this, I'm not crazy about having any IR slots.
The FA player pool is shallow enough and as CT pointed out, this is a tough league with difficult decisions a major part of the overall strategy.

I guess I'm proposing it under the assumption that we are going to impose penalties for any team that has a starter on IR (even if the player is due back soon, etc.). I don't think we should be forcing teams to run a short bench just because they had some guys get injured (especially if they have to cover every slot every week).
I'd even vote for this while simultaneously eliminating a roster spot... if all your guys are healthy, you can afford to lose a roster spot... thus would likely end up with a few additional players in the FA pool if that's the concern (b/c likely <24 players would be on IR at most points during the season).
One other thing I'd add to the proposal is that the player has to be on your roster before he is placed on IR (or widely anticipated to be placed on IR). You can't pick up a player just to stash him on IR.
So feel free to add these to the proposal... from above:
- Eliminate 1 active roster bench spot
- Players are only eligible for Fantasy IR if they are on your team prior to being placed (or prior to being expected to be placed) on the NFL IR.
