Dante_Lockhart Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Can we rename the trophy this year to 'Easy Mode Trophy' since there is only TWELVE teams? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rename it the 'everyone gets a RB trophy' Why not ring around to encourage more participants? Must be some hiding in the shadows...

Any more than this usually ends up with half the teams hoping their TE can score a single point and garbage time hero RBs. We can always review it down the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my history my average finish with a 12 team league is 3rd. In a 16-20 team league my average finish is 13th >_< 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than 3rd will be deemed a failure As I say, we'll see how this all plays out and I'll take notes of any improvements/changes suggested as the season progresses. Then we'll reassess everything at the end and alter where necessary. There's possibly going to be some teething issues, but we'll definitely be proactive about making consensus-based changes every off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastmix Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just to say, the draft has been set for Sunday Sep 5th at 8pm (BST) as it was approximately the same as previous draft times/dates. It's certainly best to do it the week before the season starts to prevent drafting players who go on to get final pre-season game injuries. If there's an overwhelming desire for an alternative start time, I'll try to set it as an average. There's no way to please everybody here, but it will be somewhere between 6 and 9pm BST if a change is necessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time allowance per pick is currently set at 1 minute and I'd suggest reducing that. I think it was 30 seconds last season but can't be too sure... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) @Beastmix League votes to veto trades is currently set at 9/12. I reckon 50% would be better, 6 votes. I'd be happy to go through the other league rules if useful to have a second pair of eyes on them. Edited August 15, 2021 by Tubby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to go through the other league rules if useful to have a second pair of eyes on them. I've adjusted this and the draft time. Nobody wants to spend half a Sunday drafting their team (especially when the autodraft needlessly takes the full time allowance instead of just making the pick) Yeah, if you want to have a look to see if anything has been overlooked, have at it. I want to avoid us starting the season unhappy with the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Sep 5th at 8pm (BST) which is roughly when it was previously. It's not too late for the European peeps and not too early for any North American folks. It's a good balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was reverse order the way we used to have it? What does everybody think? Would probably be hard to do reverse order as there were 14 teams last season. Random probably makes most sense. Could we randomise the draft order so we know which position we're picking from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
