@Hueristic. I recently read your email. I am certainly joining this season!
On the other details mentioned in this thread, I would like to vote for the same donation amount to the pot of .0025 similar to last season and also vote to use the same website Yahoo Fantasy. All of the other changes being discussed within the fantasy league, I will vote yes of most of the participants agrees and will also vote yes.
Also, welcome to @yahoo62278 and @SouthPark's victi, I mean recruit hehehe.

Not sure if I'll be able to join this year unfortunately. Is there a deadline for when I have to give a final decision?
I don't remember if we set one last year but thats something we need to discuss if we didnt.
Wan to reply to all you guys but really busy today, will get to it later.
also make sure you said to lock your spot up if you haven't.
those that haven't replied yet i'm going to guess probably used a toss away email for the league so could someone pm them for me, if not i'll do it when i get a minute.
I got your email Hueristic, and of course you know I'm in.
When it comes to Yahoo rankings, typically I hate when my team has a good score. Good scores come from people who draft the next man up, which the system has ranked as the best player at that time, and so it adds the most points towards ranking the drafts. That's why I hate when I get a good grade. It means I haven't reached around enough for the outlier players. ( Edit: I just realized Wheelz essentially said the same thing lol)
Looking forward to the season ya'll..next Thursday is the first preseason game!

Cool beans.

In real football news, thank God giants signed Barkley, that would have been a huge hole at running back. Signed Jones for years and Thomas our left tackle for years. They are 8.5-1 to win the nfc east. I know eagles are favorites but I can see them regressing some. Might throw a flyer on the g men
I would say its better than even money they can catch a wildcard slot this year.
I went back and looked at yahoo's ratings of our draft report card last year and the top 3 teams were all rated in the bottom 4!
I found that highly amusing.

It's always the joke in my one fantasy league. Whoever "they" grade the lowest had the best draft. It's funny because people think the rankings lines you up for a winning season. What I've learned is that a decent amount is luck. Injuries need to be minimal and ypu need to hit a couple flyers who weren't ranked that high. That's usually who wins it.
<...>If we do end up with 12 teams, I like the idea of 8 making it to the playoffs. Quarter finals on week 15, Semi finals week 16, and Finals week 17.<...>
I'm not sure i like the idea of 8 playoff teams, that's more than 50% of the league making the playoffs, and those finishing 7 and 8 are likely to have losing records. It cheapens the regular season. In a 12-team league, 6 should be the max, with the top two seeds getting byes.
You make a good point about it cheapening the regular season, I'm convinced. In that case I would prefer 4 teams, and no bye week.
When we get to vote/discuss current format and settings i'd like to propose two changes:
1. replace kicker with a flex spot
2. switch from continual rolling waivers to reverse standings
1. replace kicker with a flex spot
2. switch from continual rolling waivers to reverse standings
I should have time this weekend to gather all the suggestions and start a poll for the settings and changes.

And finally about the sleeper app, does it has a browser version so can I draft and do all what I could need to manage a team? If not and the majority decides to migrate to the app I will make do, but I really prefer to do things from my desktop computer rather than to use apps as the size of the font is kind of small, so if the sleeper website has that option that would be great.
I also prefer desktop sites and tried sleeper last year but their stats were wrong and they never replied to my emails asking for corrections.I would prefer an app that I can access on a desktop browser also. It's easier to do research and make changes when I can have multiple windows open at once, and dicking around on a phone is a pain at my age.

Like that was something they had to think about? WTF? I was rooting for the Giants to take the East last year, as long as it ain't the Cowgirls or the smEagles I'm good.

That is funny. IIRC, I was ranked 3rd after the draft and finished in 9th. Pretty dismal year for me, hope to do better this year. I still feel like winning 2021 was a fluke for me, but I'll keep reminding you guys that I won 2021.
Not sure if I'll be able to join this year unfortunately. Is there a deadline for when I have to give a final decision?
The sooner the better, just so we can recruit a 12 participant if needed.
The season starts Thursday September 7th, so I think we should have our draft the weekend before; Friday September 1st or Saturday the 2nd. That's just a bit over a month away.
ETA:
If we do end up with 12 teams, I like the idea of 8 making it to the playoffs. Quarter finals on week 15, Semi finals week 16, and Finals week 17.
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.
If I recall, last year's entry fee was mBTC25, which is about $73 at the moment. I'm good with keeping it at that.

If everyone comebacks from the previous season and with the addition of @seek3r and @yahoo62278 then it seems we reached the goal to expand to a 12 player league, but maybe we should check just in case as maybe not everyone has the time to join the league this year.
I'll send out a pm sometime soon.
I don't care what app we use as long as I have a little time to look around and get familiar with it(1 week). What is the buy-in and who/where are we sending it? I see .0025 mentioned but I want to be sure. Are we including preseason? Post season? Will there be a separate thread with everything we need to know?
These are things we tend to vote on after we get the league settled on who's in for the season.
EDIT: OK guys I emailed everyone in the league to drop in here and just let everyone know they will be playing again this year.

Assuming everyone returns, 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?
About the second league, I am in, now we just have to wait to see if there is enough interest on it.
And finally about the sleeper app, does it has a browser version so can I draft and do all what I could need to manage a team? If not and the majority decides to migrate to the app I will make do, but I really prefer to do things from my desktop computer rather than to use apps as the size of the font is kind of small, so if the sleeper website has that option that would be great.

Training Camp has officially opened...so exciting that football has officially begun!
Check out this clip of Rodgers to Wilson yesterday..man this stuff is so exciting to me https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BGZY3W1E1xM
So I'm not saying we should switch to Sleeper for our league, let me start off emphatically expressing that...but that being said, I just did my first draft (dynasty) on sleeper and man it's a great fantasy app, and if it's not already the best one, it's going to be. It's way more in-depth than any other app out there. I'm becoming a huge fan. It's a bit complicated at first, but once you figure out all the nuances, it really shines.
Just thought I'd share some screen shots of some of the features just so you guys have an idea how it looks. I know Sleeper has been discussed here a few times..
When you scroll to the far right of the app, you've got all these great links. What I really like is the news, the podcasts and the advice section. Really cool stuff. You can tell they are working hard to make this the ultimate fantasy platform

Let me know what I need to do to join this cause I definitely could use more distractions in my life.
I see an opportunity here. Does the league need a hazing ritual for new members? Let's put it up to a vote for all of last year's participants. You know, like the clusterfuck for all the league settings we had last year. I feel hazed.
My suggestion for the league hazing ritual; find the shittiest shitpost that you have made (and survived the mods) and post it in the hall of shame thread.
Welcome aboard!Speaking of hazing, this is a buddy of mine from college. You may have heard about the Northwestern Football coach being fired due to hazing "rituals" which were a part of their program, and he was interviewed having played there is freshman year and for having spoken out against it on twitter (he came to Southern IL Univ his Jr and Sr year I believe it was, hence when we met). Just though you guys might find this interesting..
