Looking at the settings, I don’t think I could do this. The only options are the 10 yard ranges and the fractional scoring thing…I suppose I could combine them and, say, add 1.1 to 10-19 yard FGs so that you get at least 2.9 for a short kick, but then you’d have a discontinuity somewhere (since a 19 yarder would score more than a 20 yarder, or if you added a bonus for 20-29 then a 29 would be more than a 30).
Did some googling. I believe 17 yards is shortest field goal possible should you have nerve to kick it from inch line. With that in mind I think my earlier point is unlikely to effect the outcome of many games. So perhaps I worried too much earlier.

We still have spaces, please think more about joining if you were on the fence! 18 is a really awkward number, would love to get to 20 at least if we can.
If anyone in L2 (currently the bottom nine names on the list of signups) is interested in being L2 commish this year please let me know. As it stands we’ll need one person in L1 to double up so that we have an even number in L2, so let me know if anyone wants to do that as well.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
I was a bit miffed that I thought you were trying to exclude me but I guess you were just trolling.

Should we institute full PPR, remain with half PPR, or return to standard scoring?
Half PPR
wins 7-4-4 (everybody that voted for another option had half PPR as their second choice, so not concerned about ranked choice shenanigans)
What is your preferred number of teams to make the playoffs in a 12-team league?
SIX
wins 13-1-1
Should we reseed the playoffs after each round?
NO
wins 8-7
Should the consolation bracket be used in determining final standings for purposes of promotion/relegation next season?
YES
wins 11-4
Sorry for not including this in the rules poll - my plan is to set the number of IR slots per team to
THREE
, but if anyone has any opinions on this between now and either league's draft let me know.
League rosters are listed in the second post. I will be sending out the Whenisgoods for L1 and L2 by PM in a few minutes. L2 is still looking for a commish, let me know if you're interested.
Kilga had L1 commish powers when the league got auto-renewed, so once we talk through what we're going to do, the league invite will be sent to new teams in L1. Same thing with L2 once I figure out what the deal is there, not sure what's happening with that league.
My plan is to randomize draft orders just by doing a bunch of forum dice rolls some time this weekend, will give a bit of advance notice if anyone wants to spectate.
Lmao. I didn't see a time, I saw a day and I made it clear in PM my /in depended on whether Nero could play. But if you're that set on keeping me out of this over being 50 min past your time so be it

I feel like a tentative /in that was said before the deadline should count. Even if it doesn’t for whatever reason I feel like there should be a small grace period. It’s not like he was more than a day late.
