Can I ask why certain things are a deal breaker for some? IMO you either would like to participate or you wouldn't right? Should it matter the platform it's on? or if certain things such as PPR or PPFD are in? Or the buyin is too low? too high?

Yeah as much as I'm dreading having to register on yet another site and learning how it works and dealing with inevitable bugs and glitches, I would probably still participate if majority decides to leave yahoo... so I'm just putting my vote in and waiting.

Commitment? In or Out
Platform? Yahoo or Sleeper
PPFD? Yes or No  HUGH?
PPR? Yes or No  But it's not that big a deal to me either way
Entry Fee? List your preferred fee  .0015BTC-ish
Three Payouts? Yes or No (Third place get's entry fee back, remainder is split 70% for the winner and 30% for second place.)
Draft Time  6-10pm eastern time frame-any day

@hhampuz- you know what PPR is..Points Per Reception, that's what we play in our main league.  Each time a player makes a catch in our league, they get .5pts.   There's a lot of PPR versions, but typically it just means each catch gets it .5 or 1 point per.  I've always been a fan of playing this way, but it's always nice to play multiple ways too.

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
I just nearly shit my pants.  I had been wondering why the Niners started Deebo, but then I noticed the name on the number 19 jersey, "Taylor"!?!?  Shocked

I was afraid they traded him without me hearing about it, but it turns out he's wearing the #1 jersey now.  I mean, of course he is.

That would be a serious surprise considering all the scuttlebutt around Aiyuk and other teams.

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it

An update over my sleeper app issues.

I am still unable to login, and believe me I have tried everything I could think of, I downloaded the app and still could not login, so I do not really have any idea of what it may have gone wrong when the sign-up process is so straightforward.

I have had alot of issues with apps because I refuse to use google products on a phone and everything seems to use google play for permissions and if you don't bend over and spread your cheeks for google a ton of shit will not work on a andriod phone.

I think thats the issue i currently am at with the yahoo app mock draft not opening.

As for me refusing to play PPR, I think it is a bane to both football in general and fantasy specific. I have always refused to play it and have never changed and quit the Monero league when they switched to it.

IMHO it was pushed by the gambling industry to more easily quantify prediction algorithms to pad thier pockets.

But the side effect is it elevates crappy players with big contracts because of volume and make hoards of plebs break out the pithforks and torches when thier favorite draft pick didn't get 90% of touches. Sort of like the twitter tards going on rampages at head coaches for having the audacity to try to win the game and protect thier players rather than padding a fantasy team.

Funny I was trying to link you to Dan Cambells remarks on fantasy effecting actual football but apparently the webs have been sanitized and I cant find it anywhere anymore.

NFL really kisses some industries asses.

Copilot found a quote but the links have all had his statements redacted.

Quote
Lions head coach Dan Campbell recently emphasized that his focus is on the team’s performance and not on fantasy football1. He mentioned that while he understands the popularity of fantasy leagues, his priority is to ensure the Lions succeed on the field.




I've dropped this in the WO thread.

I'm just moving with main league to sleeper and prefer to do same platform as I'm not a fan of the yahoo app or website

No one is a fan of yahoo, per se, but it works and it's familiar to us all.  I would hate to have you drop out because of such a trivial thing.  I'll look into synchronizing the Yahoo league with Sleeper, if possible that would put the whole debate to rest.

the rest I don't really care about as I don't even know what PPR is  Cheesy

PPFD is "point per first down," so if a reception or a run result in a first down the player earns another fantasy point on top of the yardage points.  It parallels and rewards the efforts of real-life football.

PPR is "point per reception."  Purists hate it because it rewards any reception caught, regardless of it's affect on the drive.  Even catches that result in negative yardage are awarded a point.  It often makes third-rate running backs gain lots of points just because they are brought in to take dump-off passes that are meant to prevent the QB from taking a sack.  Thus, reducing the value of star RBs, and elevating the value of second and third string backs.  Those that like it argue that it gives the league a wider field of RBs with value.  It does add value to lower ranked WRs and TEs  as well, but it seems to have a wider impact on RBs, especially those who are used more during passing plays.

What sucked last year was 1) not everyone joined discord, 2) it was mostly dead, 3) nobody wanted to (really) do trades or similar. I'm just moving with main league to sleeper and prefer to do same platform as I'm not a fan of the yahoo app or website, the rest I don't really care about as I don't even know what PPR is  Cheesy
Yea the trade situation was pretty shitty, everyone wanted the world and wanted to give peanuts to get it or no trade. That was probably single handedly the worst thing about our league, but at the same time it was for money so you don't really wanna give too much of an advantage to opponents.

I have the app installed on my phone so it's just easy access to me. If the sleeper thing has the same option, that's fine Just need to know for sure what we are using so if we are switching I can look around and see what's different.

Kinda wanna see the final votes done now so we have time to prepare for whatever changes there may be or recruit a person or 2 if needed.

Wait did suchmoon vote for 25bitcoin buy in lol.  Let's do it! Can I borrow 25bitcoin from someone for the buy in? Smiley

With that being said September 1st my kid has a soccer tournament all day.  If this is the day I will try my best to draft in-between games and/or while they are playing but I can't promise anything so I might have to go on auto draft for a couple of rounds or so.  Link I said I'm in so I will make it work one way or another.

Just saying this is a small buyin for the most part and a way for us to talk shit to each other and have a good time for football season. Everything worked out pretty good last year. Could it be better? Probably, but if the majority votes one way let's just all agree to go with it please. I really enjoyed getting my ass kicked last year and chatting in the discord occasionally.

Not trying to offend anyone, I just wanna have some fun. Had enough bad shit in my life last couple years, so i need some good fun and something to look forward to.

Okay, I updated the table with all the data I have.  Still waiting on South Park, ChiBitCTy, and seek3r to vote.  @Hhampuz, you also have a couple of items to vote on.

So that's 11 am EST; would be far more ideal for me as well.

Actually it's 10am EST.  With Daylight Savings eastern time is currently GMT-5

Entry Fee? the usual 25BTC is fine

Degen.

*Also, 8 am - 11 am EST works for me as well

If that works for you, I'm changing my vote to 15:00GMT.  That's 7am in Cali which is perfect for me.

Are we only a 10 man team this year?

That's fine with me.

One option I forgot to include for votes was draft timing, but I just added it.

I vote for Sunday September 1st at 4pm Eastern Time.  That'll put Hhampuz at 11p, and East Asia at 5am Monday morning, which seems like a fair split.

Actually thats 4 AM where I am now; the worst possible time. I can somewhat manage if we bump it up one hour.

Code:
Commitment? In
Platform? Yahoo
PPFD? Yes
PPR? Yes
Entry Fee? 2mBTC
Three Payouts? Yes (as described by morvillz7z)
Draft Time? Sep 1, 11 am EST*
