Damnnnnnnnn!
Look @ the 6head on the league home page!
i disagree.
1. field goals missed 1-20 should be -1, otherwise no negatives
2. receiving and rushing should be 20 yards for 1 point
3. roster size of 18 is too large, and 20 is WAY to large
4. i'd prefer only two receivers
5. i do agree about the flex position

I'm fine with the 20 yards = 1 pt for receiving and rushing. Other than that, hopefully more people agree with my suggestions than yours.
More roster spots favor the knowledgable and less roster spots favor people who scour the waiver wire every week.
If kickers miss anything less than a 40 yarder they should be penalized. Plus, this makes the games a little more compe ive because it makes coming from behind a little easier. 2 and 1 points isn't that much more anyways.
I don't like flex positions because it will enable to just stock up on running backs in the early rounds without paying the price.
PS Dio get your ass in the club and answer my questionnaire.
I'm not a big fan of the flex position. I'd rather start 3 WRS than have the flex.
1 QB
2 RBs
3 WRs
1 TE
1 K
1 D/ST
9 reserves...
Trade deadine should be W10.
In my other cash league, we do blind bids for FAs. Everyone starts off with 130 units. You bid as much as you want for any FA. It makes things interesting...
...my reasoning is b/c i may be taking a job in Oregon in which i will be 8 days on 6 days off...a smaller lineup will be easier for me to manage. although as it is i may be throwing my $250 away anyway. i doubt i will be able to be as involved as i want to be...
If WR/RB/TE only get a pt for every 20yds then the QB position becomes MUCH more important.
It would prob be best to draft (2) QBs in the 1st 4-5 rounds.
A pt for 10yds is better IMO.

I like the flex because it doesn't have to be a WR or RB that you start.
1 other league I'm in has QB, RB, WR, TE, Flex, Flex, Flex, Def, K.
With the # of RB by Comm. expected in the NFL this yr I think everyone will stock up.
Last year we played 1 pt per 20 yards, didn't we?
W14? Are you crazy? Too many sweetheart deals that late in the season...
Here's my opinions (not complaints)... either way, I'm in (the $50 league).
I prefer 1 point per 10 yards receiving, and 1 point per 10 yards rushing. As the numbers go higher (from 10 to 20 yards) it becomes more of a touchdown-centric league rewarding bad players who are stuck starting a Jerome Bettis kind of player.
I don't like a minimum roster size of 15. Again, it rewards sucky teams that drafted poorly, because it leaves a lot of talent out there on the waiver wire. I prefer 20-man rosters. Smaller rosters make this game even more of a game of chance.
I like the 1 flex position. I'd prefer it included the TE position ('cause that allows for more 'flex'ibility).
I have ZERO expectation of this happening, but I prefer 1 point per reception. It makes the draft so much more interesting because not everyone is trying to draft back2back stud RBs. Although, the points per yards you proposed adds more value to WR, and that works toward that same end.
If we go Fox, let's all cross our fingers. It was an utter disaster last year. There was no way around the fact that their site would not work. It was an abject failure. Regarding Yahoo, maybe I should verify this, but you can't buy live scoring per team (say $10 a shot), but instead it's $125 per league. For the $50 league it's not a big deal (to not have live scoring), but the $250 players might disagree.
I'm not sure I understand the waiver settings. "Waiver Period 1 day" and "Waiver Order Reset Reset Weekly" - when is it reset weekly? I don't know how commish friendly Fox is, but it was nice to place all free agents on waivers, beginning on Sunday at noon CST, and leaving them that way until Tuesday night (Wednesday night might be even better) with an occasional reminder to the league to lay off players after the infrequent Thursday or Saturday game.
Kickers - unless you make the scoring rules for kickers something outrageous, I cannot bring myself to care.
We compromised, I think it was 1 point per 15 yards, rushing and receiving - I have a poor memory.
They apparently have upgraded bigtime. Tomorrow I'm drafting there to see if it works.If we go Fox, let's all cross our fingers. It was an utter disaster last year.

And as far as I know on yahoo, every team can pay individually for live scoring at $12 or something like that. (Did that change that you can't?)
If you could do that in the past, pay $12 for live Yahoo scoring, I was not aware. Maybe I have poor memory and poor reading comprehension. ... June is my favorite month - all I have to know is Go Spurs Go.
Surely Fox has to be improved, and supposing your draft tomorrow works, just ponder your fallback options if it does not work when the scheduled day come.
Also, you may want to address the trading of draft picks, before (and during) the draft. It was not supported by Yahoo last year, and if verbal agreements are made in advance, you have a potential problem on your hands if one of the players does not show up for the draft.
you can buy stat tracker alone.
It's 24.99 per team (I just looked) to upgrade to Yahoo Plus or 9.99 just to add Stat Tracker. But I'll try FoxSports first because free is free.If you could do that in the past, pay $12 for live Yahoo scoring, I was not aware. Maybe I have poor memory and poor reading comprehension. ...

9.99 Stat Tracker
As I said in this thread, I already have backup draft times set up on Yahoo.Surely Fox has to be improved, and supposing your draft tomorrow works, just ponder your fallback options if it does not work when the scheduled day come.
Another thing to consider is that (last year) Yahoo does not permit the commish to stop and restart the draft. Potentially, my worst nightmare last year involved players trading picks, and player A on the board makes the pick for player B, but player B drops (for whatever reason) and cannot pick for player A. Player A is stuck with "autodraft" and there is no way to go back and fix it. It would nullify the entire draft.
Not allowing trades (unless Yahoo and Fox support it) would be the best way to go.
Guru of Nothing-
...please explain your logic on rather having 10 yards of rushing = 1 point. cause, i don't get it at all.
We will likely settle on 15 yards since some people want 20 and some 10.
Do I have to wait until I'm fully paid up to register my team?
It very simple, as yards mean less, TDs mean more ...
Consider:
Jerome Bettis has 3 rushes for 5 yards, and 2 TDs. That's 12.25 points by your suggestion.
Say Fred Taylor has 21 carries for 165 yards without a touchdown. That's 8.25 points.
In a fantasy sense, which player deserves more points?
I think Bettis ought to get 12.5 points, while Taylor gets 16.5 points.
Well if they are only 10 yards, then some think it's too far the other way (to me Fred Taylor shouldn't be worth 16.5 in that scenario).
So it looks like we are going to settle on 15 for this. Too much disagreement, so we'll meet in the middle.

We will take a vote on the Flex position.
So post your vote in the this thread.
2WR/1Flex or 3 WR are the choices.
I take the first stage.
3 WR, come on everyone - keep traditional, celebrated fantasy football alive. Now a lot of people are going to be lobbying for all this new age cutting stuff, but you got to remember where you came from. Remember when the newspaper provided you stats and you manually tallied them. Remember the Alamo. Most of all remember Floyd Landis and his first 19 stages.
