Yes unless the majority wants to change the draft date/time
I've got nine XMR in wallet now, but only five teams in Yahoo...draft is this Sunday right?
Everyone who has paid and still hasn't gotten an email/link for joining, please send me a PM... sorry, I have forgotten who I've sent what to whom and don't really feel like figuring all that nonsense out.
ahncddp, hey so I'm not sure what username you messaged on reddit because I still didn't get one at all. Mine is [floam412] minus the brackets. Again, not trying to doubt you... just doing my due diligence now to avoid confusion about it in other future leagues. Thanks again.
Edit: We've got some people who have voted (only 3 so far including myself), so be sure to vote on the new poll so I can adjust accordingly... thanks
Edit #2: I looked in the settings for Yahoo and it doesn't look like I have the option to change the playoffs to include a 2 week championship/play off sort of system... It only allows me to pick the weeks (Weeks 15 and 16, or Weeks 16 and 17) between 4 people; OR can do a 6 person play off in weeks 14, 15, 16; etc.
So in that regard, it looks like we are forced to have 1 week matches unless I'm missing some sort of way to be able to customize the settings to where I can choose what happens... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One week is all good and it should be week 15 & 16.

no, I still have the rotochamp reddit user account, I also still own the domain rotochamps.com, there is just nothing there now. I mean that I used to be known in fantasy baseball circles as rotochamp1 at rotochamps.com . After I shut down rotochamps.com another guy started up rotochamp.com and started publishing baseball projections. I just point it out so no one confuses us.
Cool beans, so your in the DR?
I used to go there alot (Puerto Plata) and had a fiance in San Tiago, I was going to retire there until I got injured and laid up.
It's still a dream but I doubt it will ever be feasible now.

No I am not in the DR.. The team name came from a fantasy league I was in where all the teams were required to use a locale in the name and people just kind of distributed them all over the world and my co-owner picked the name for the alliteration.
Unfortunately I have not yet had the chance to travel there, though I would love to.
I live under the scorching sun of the Phoenix valley.
Sorry to hear about the injury, they have a way of derailing the best laid plans that's for sure!
ahh shit forgot can't delete a dbl post for 24 hours.
I like kickers.
No preference on dropping week 17.
Don't know what ppr is.
No preference on finals format.
If you ban me just remember I have all the monies.

ROTFLMFAO!!!
PPR is points per reception, it is what I argued against last year as all you do is get the big money stars and root for them to get targets (it makes them worth too much). it's why the running backs that catch get massive amounts of points and put up 40 points in a week and really make all the other players a moot point.
Wasn't trying to come across like a d**k, it's just today's NFL has evolved to where PPR scoring is a must.
Example:
Player X - 11 catches 77 yards 1TD
Player Y - 1 catch 80 yards 1TD
With no PPR Player Y had a better day and that's just ridiculous!

Player Y in your scenario ia an outlier (it does not happen often and cannot be counted on) and they are called "Boom or Bust" and are a gamble to play. They can just as easily put up ZErO points.
It is fun to play them as a streaming option if you think they are going to have a good week and your gonna get Rekt, It gives you something to root for.
Just Like Ju Ju last year.
Lol you ain’t going anywhere big man... 
PPR is Points Per Reception. Honestly, I’m in the mind frame of “less is better”... so the less alterations we make to the league how it is set up is for the better. I suggest we keep PPR, keep kickers, and let’s change the playoff schedule to include 2 weeks for semi finals and final matches.
I’ll leave this proposition to a yay or neigh vote. I will post a poll soon.

Can the poll be change to see what everyone voted so that we don't have people not involved voting. as ytou can see right now we have more. Lol I think it was the Zimbawee dollars that attracted them, those things are gold!

PPR is the only way to play FF. I really have no interest if it's not PPR as the OP states. Sorry.
...and we really need to make sure 5pm Sunday is good as I'm trying to plan it into my weekend.
Also cutting a week is a very smart idea. Shouldn't have the fantasy final when only a select few teams have something to play for. No strategy there, just luck.
Kicker should stay in my opinion.

Hi All, just joined over here after seeing the post on the monero reddit page.
I'd love to get in on this. I will transfer my entry fee as soon as my transfer out of binance finishes.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome, whats your reddit name?
reddit: rotochamp
I don't post over there much either, other than in my professional area, which is adops. I mostly read a lot, trying to keep up with all the different crypto news and sentiment. I pretty much stick to BTC, XMR and ADA.
The user name rotochamp is from waaaay back when I was a fantasy baseball analyst. That was like a decade ago =) . I ran rotochamps.com . I am not the same person who publishes baseball projections under the name rotochamp these days, that's just some dude who co-opted my branding when I retired from it.
my user name here looks random but its just short for: All Hat No Cattle, plus the short code for my team name Dominican DonkeyPunch.
It will be nice to play in a fantasy football league with people other than who ESPN or Yahoo randomly sticks me with!
Wait a second, your saying your nick over there is rotochamp but that is not you posting under the name rotochamp anymore? Did you sell the account?
I don't know much about reddit.
no, I still have the rotochamp reddit user account, I also still own the domain rotochamps.com, there is just nothing there now.

Ok, well it's good to have your around... Just for the verification sake, could you please send me a PM on reddit (username: floam412). Just know that I'm not trying to 'challenge' or doubt you in anyway, but it has been brought to my attention that it is better to set a precedent now rather than setting one later about verifying people and making sure people aren't actively playing two accounts.
I will go ahead and say that everyone that has signed up as of right now is vetted for by me, just from talking on chat rooms, forums, etc. for quite some time (except lt8877, but that's just because he comes around during fantasy time). I will make a disclaimer that you all will have to trust me that I'm not playing two accounts either on my SO's account.
Another disclaimer is that Spazzer is playing the league via a proxy fantasy player (another person close to me) and is splitting the winnings with that person 50/50 if he wins.
So with that being said, how should we go about vetting people in the future leagues from now on to make sure two teams don't collude together to get better players on one team to ensure winning?
Edit: Also, is everyone ok with 5 PM on Sunday for the draft??
no problem, sent you a message on reddit and included my linkedin link in that message.

Also, I would be in favor of dropping the kicker for a superflex position (QB/RB/WR/TE) if anyone is up for that.

I think we need a list of suggestions so we can all discuss and vote on them.
the three I think I've seen are:
1) dropping the kicker
2) losing last week
3) PPR
4) 2 week championship
5) If JW gets Bell and Gurley again we redraft and ban him from all further contests!
My (current) thoughts on those are
1) I think streaming a kicker is fun and can make an impact so is part of the strategy so I disagree on changing that
2) I think this should be determined after we get a final number of players as it changes the number of times each team plays each other
3) PPR sucks (as proven by JW last year! )
4) I agree that it is a better method for a two weekly average for the finals so I agree on changing that.
5) I think I read that in a post and if not we are all thinking it!
Did I miss any suggestions? I am open to changing my above opinions from a compelling argument.
1. I like having a kicker (and I hate super flex)
2. Agreed, cutting a week would depend on matchup scheduling
3. I like PPR =)
4. I like the two week finals idea, negates the luck factor a bit
5. If anyone gets Bell and Gurley this year they definitely have some friends at Yahoo!

More ideas to make this better will be well received. Please post in this thread if you would like to participate. There is a 20 team maximum, so I went ahead and opened it up to 20 people and will update here in the OP when people post their tx info. After you post on here, you can also include your email you want me to send an invite link too, or you could just PM it to me. From there you can sign up & join the league
You must post in this thread and be accepted to Join.
Otherwise as a former fantasy professional you know that it is easy to game the system with multiple players.
You should not have sent payment until accepted.

Hahah, let's just put it this way... she is aware of the forum here and the thread I have created where people come to shit talk. I'm leaving it up to her if she feels the urge to register a username and come on here to talk shit to my internet pals, if she even entertains the idea of doing that I better put a ring on i... oh wait. 
Congrats, tough to find a good one these days.
As the runner-up from last year's league, I feel compelled to avenge my loss to @jwinterm in which he brutalized me with a combination of Le'veon Bell and Todd Gurley in Week 16 of the championship match.

Here is the transaction hash for my 1 XMR buy-in: 0f16a00524e9d044c580a8199e1da85dab2607bc186c0470bb4e476791688878
Regarding the discussion from earlier in the thread about removing Week 17 from the schedule, I would be in favor of keeping it so long as the championship game is a 2-week match where the scores from Week 16 and Week 17 are combined. I think that type of a championship match helps reward a team with a strong bench and waiver wire skills.
(Full disclosure, I nearly won the league last year by virtue of playing a 17-week schedule. Despite being completely blown out in Week 16, I nearly managed to complete the comeback in Week 17 due to strong performances from my bench players.)
Also, I would be in favor of dropping the kicker for a superflex position (QB/RB/WR/TE) if anyone is up for that.

Hey, glad your here again! Managing the bench can be the critical point in a close matchup. That was so close to the upset of the century last year.
AND those 2 are a serious one two punch in the face!
I have no issue with combined scores for playoffs if no-one else does, I didn't even look to see if its setup that way right now.
Received. Looking forward to a finals rematch 
Don't worry about that cause it won't be you two again! you'll have to take it out on each other during the season cause one of you might get to face me in the final.
I watched the whole first season of the league when this thread popped up just to get ready, I'm gonna get Taco for an advisor.
AFA cutting a week off the season I just don't see why. Can someone link me to the reasoning? Also we should not decide that until we have a final number of players as that can effect the matchups.
