Lol, I assume your just joking or just trying to throw us off, but he's likely to be one of the better receivers in the league this year.

Justin Jefferson is the no.1 overall pick in my cheatsheet then Christian McCaffrey in no.2 and Jmarr Chase in no.3. However, if I had a chance to draft first I would pick Christian McCaffrey. He can do much more on the field and create more fantasy points. Did he not score a passing touchdown last year ehehe.

In any case, what is the final schedule of our draft? Everyone can make it?


@suchmoon has said already that he will draft Kelce, he is 7th pick. I assume Kupp, Jmarr Chase, Tyreek Hill and Ekeler will have owners before my turn hehehe. I should not expect anything this year and depend on luck on the waiver wire.

Lol, I assume your just joking or just trying to throw us off, but he's likely to be one of the better receivers in the league this year.

There must be a way to gain an edge, however there is little doubt to me that drafting at the extremes of the draft, whether it is too high or too low, is more difficult than to draft from the middle positions, as in my mock drafts I always do worse when drafting at the extremes than when drafting on the middle, personally I would have been fine with anything between the 4th and the 9th picks so I am very happy with my draft position, and while drafting Kelce and Mahomes would be a good combo, I doubt Kelce will drop to the point you could draft him.

Just so ya'll know, I'll be taking Justin Jefferson with my first pick...so now you can plan accordingly 

No, I didn't, lol.  I had to go look it up, but yeah in that context I can definitely see him saying that, and I don't disagree.

Its a straight up quote, you didn't know that?

OK, I think we are going to have to put a timeframe on setting our draft time.

I'm sure most of us need to know at least a few days ahead of time when the draft will be so as to set our schedules not to conflict with other drafts and RL shit.

So I think I will have to give a cutoff time for discussion of Wed and have a last and FINAL vote on thurs if we don't have a consensus before then.

We are currently waiting on nutildah and Hhampuz to figure a out a timeframe they can both make and give that to us to verify we can all make that range.

*****************************************************************************************************************************
RULES CHANGES:
OK, I went back and reread all the posts and started applying peoples votes but found it became unwieldy as some of the discussions changed the questions and I didn't feel the people that voted should be locked in to their votes and rather than make a whole discussion over each change here are the current questions and everyone can vote again.

* denotes last years setting

1) South Park: Should we change the playoff format?
And let 6 teams to move to the playoffs with the top two teams getting a BYE or maybe expand it to 8 teams as some may not like not playing their teams on

the most important part of the season?

Playoff spots:

a)4 *

b)6

c)8


2)DireWolfM14:What do you guys think of having two payouts?  I was thinking the second place team gets double the entry fee, and winner takes the rest.  

Payout places
a)1*

b)2*

c)3

d)MORE

*note 1st place was split last year as the death on the field cancelled a game with league players original was winner take all



3)morvillz7z: replace kicker with a flex spot  

a) yes

b) no*

C) don't care/abstain





4) OK now on the waiver method, due to the choices being multifaceted it can become complicated to vote for one.

So I think what we can do is break it down and vote multiple times on the method to choose.

OK if that was not clear this is an example of what I am saying.

We will vote on whether to use reverse order or continuous rolling or a mix of the two (hybrid). If we choose reverse order then there are 2 different choices of that (I will explain that if that is our choice before the next vote) and if we do hybrid then obviously those 2 choices also come into play. So we will not need a second vote only if continuous rolling is chosen.

Now correct me if i'm wrong but I think 2 years ago we used reverse order and last year we used continuous rolling.

NOW a Hybrid just means that we can use both.

I will change the method depending on what we decide.

For instance my choice would be to use Reverse for the beginning of the league (like first 5 weeks) and then change to continuous rolling for the remainder of the league.

My argument for this is that if you draft horrible then the first 5 weeks you can get good waiver picks and make a decent team BUT after 5 weeks it will not hurt good teams that get injured players by pushing them down to the bottom of the waiver list every week which I believe is unfair.

So the current voting options are.

a)reverse order

b)continuous rolling

c)Hybrid *Yahoo removed this option by making waiver settings changeable only pre draft now

d) don't care/abstain


******************************************************************************************************************************

My votes:
1)a

I feel more than 4 teams in the playoffs will add to the luck factor as 6 would add 2 buys and 8 is just far to many.

2)c

I think 3 payouts would be decent  as I used to run pool tourneys for years and 3 is a good number when you have over 10 participants and a split of 70%, 20%, 10% is a fair distribution.

3)b

I really don't care to much on kickers but would like to point out that with 12 teams if we add another flex spot then the waiver wire will be brutal. Hmm, now that I think of it I think removing kickers all together would be a better choice then making it a flex spot. So I just changed my vote from abstain to no.

4) not sure atm will have to think on it.

I want to see this league stay fun so I will vote in any way that I think will go to that end therefore I will vote for the hybrid which should help poorly drafted teams in the beginning but keep the league competitive for the rest of the season.



******************************************************************************************************************************
ALSO a reminder dues must be paid.


And if I made any errors in this let me know guys, i'm getting dumber every year.

Guaranteed Kelce will not make it past Suchmoon, so thats pick 7.

Dude, WTF?  That's sacrilegious!

Agreed! hehehehehe.

However, there should be a type of strategy that can be used to gain back some advantage if drafting near the last slots. I was thinking of having a team heavy with good wide receivers this year if I had a good slot. But it appears if near the last places, is it good to do Kelce and Mahomes in 1st and 2nd rounds?

LOL cheating starts even before the season...

Speaking of cheaters, has Brady unretired yet? I haven't been following the offseason and I'm having a blast with mock drafts... most names that I know seem to be with different teams than I remember. Or I'm just getting senile.

Ummm, NO I meant first block after 1:59:59 p.m. EST 8/31 !!!

Hash lottery starts in about 15 minutes! We count the last digit/letter only (duplicate numbers/letters don't count...we move on to the next block). Gl, everyone!

Thanks Mo, that will work, we will use first block after 1:59:59 p.m. EST 8/30, I.E. today in about 50 minutes.

Sorry for my long absence here -.-

Thank you once again Hueristic for keeping me up 2 date via DM.
Since I am absolute new to this I accept everything from you guys. Only problem for me could be the draft time since I am from Europe like @HHampuz.

Everything behind 7pm EST is nearly impossible for me. How long does the draft take?

My Thursday is open, so if no one else wants, i can do the hash lottery thing again and update it in real time.

It will take approximately 6 hours, possibly less if we are lucky. The final two spots took nearly as long as the first 7.

The list above is based on forum's UIDs, like we did last year (apologies for the mass tagging).

Maybe Hueristic can choose a random block ahead of tomorrow and we can start from there, or the first pick is the first block after (for example, the first block after 11:59:59 a.m. EST).
