you should be drilling best ball drafts cause hes getting drafted like less than 10% of the time id imagine and I'm 6% of them.

[Kilgamayan]

Two of the things I remember off the top of my head were (a) playoff reseeding and (b) making the consolation tournament results meaningful.

[Kilgamayan]

Are the rules from last year going to be used as a base and then proposed rule changes going from there, or is the rule set getting a full factory reset?

[Kilgamayan]

[Kilgamayan]

WRT changing PPR, hopefully there will be some way to rank opinions on it? Like, I would rather have 0.5 than 1, but I would rather have 1 than 0, and I can imagine a single-option future where people in support of PPR would split themselves across voting for 0.5 and 1 so that 0 accidentally gets the most votes as a result.

[Kilgamayan]

the fuck is fractional kicker shit

Under the setup L1 used last year, kickers got 0.1 point per yard for field goals made, rather than an integer number of points based on a yardage range. Under standard scoring, field goals of 22 yards, 46 yards, and 61 yards would be worth 3, 4, and 5 points, respectively; under L1's fractional kicker scoring, they were worth 2.2, 4.6, and 6.1 points, respectively.

I suggested this change last year, and it only passed by a single upvote. I wouldn't be offended if it got put back up to another vote, just in case opinions have changed. I enjoy the setup (let's ignore the fact that it resulted in me having the highest scoring kicker in the league >_>) but am not super attached to it.

Lady Lambdadelta

Pickemgenius

Racefan12

PJ.

Kilgamayan

PookyTheMagicalBear

PokerFace

Rhinox

D3f3nd3r

Superbowl9

I have removed non-L1 teams from L1 based on this list. Italicized names are currently still in L1 and so don't need to do anything else to remain in the league.

I'll need e-mail addresses (or some other means of sending an invite) from

Lady Lambdadelta

,

PookyTheMagicalBear

,

Rhinox

, and

Superbowl9

so I can sent them invites.

Scratch this, I forgot I can just send a league invite link via PM.

Spoiler: Rules Poll Results

Reduce number of bench slots?

NO

wins 11 to 6

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

Confirming that I have reviewed the settings, and that:

- I have not touched the number of bench slots (there were

seven

last year and there are

seven

this year)
- "Receptions" is set to

0.5 point

- "Playoffs" is set to

6 teams - Week 15, 16 and 17 (ends Monday, Jan 2)

- "Playoff Reseeding" is set to

No

There is no league setting for the last poll result since we handle that here on the forums.

The number of IR slots is currently two. I have not changed it to three but am willing to do so if that's what a majority of people want. (I have no preference either way.)

[Kilgamayan]

L1 draft scheduling update: Everyone but Rhinox (who has not actually joined the league yet) has submitted a response, and there is exactly one time slot that all 11 submitters can make:

Monday, August 29th at 9:00 PM US Eastern/6:00 PM US Pacific

. If Rhinox has not submitted a WhenIsGood response by whatever time I log in Monday morning, I will set the league to have that draft time, assuming no one else's schedule changes to make that time not work.

[Kilgamayan]

Will who is in what division be randomized or are people giving some preference on that?
I'd like to be with Rhinox as he is an og from ohio like myself, but if that not happen, its cool.

If folks have divisional requests, I have no problem accommodating. There's plenty of time to arrange and re-arrange such things.

[Kilgamayan]

L1 draft scheduling update: Everyone but Rhinox (who has not actually joined the league yet) has submitted a response, and there is exactly one time slot that all 11 submitters can make:

Monday, August 29th at 9:00 PM US Eastern/6:00 PM US Pacific

. If Rhinox has not submitted a WhenIsGood response by whatever time I log in Monday morning, I will set the league to have that draft time, assuming no one else's schedule changes to make that time not work.

The draft has been scheduled.

Rhinox is still welcome to submit a WhenIsGood, but at this point it seems highly unlikely that the draft time will change. I am willing to shift my schedule around to make a time if I'm the only one that had marked it as not available (that's actually what happened with the current draft time), but the only other such slot is 12.5 hours from now, and changing the draft to such an extremely-short-notice time would be a huge jerk move. (There are other time slots that only one person can't make but I'm not going to ask someone else to shift their schedule around.)

[Kilgamayan]

Draft order is noted, though I can't really do anything with it yet with only 11 teams. (Yahoo requires I finalize the team list before it will let me set up a custom draft order.)

If Rhinox has not joined the league by whatever time I log in Sunday morning, I will send an L1 invite to Nero Cain (who will be given Rhinox's draft slot) and finalize the team list once Nero has joined.

[Kilgamayan]

That is functionally possible, but a dummy slot would require someone to be in charge of it - we can't functionally have a team with no manager. If everyone is okay with a dummy slot (specifically, if everyone trusts that the person in charge of the dummy slot won't fudge the draft or the regular season to gain some sort of advantage), then I'd be okay setting such a thing up.

I will say that, if that ends up being the route we go and Rhinox doesn't show up until after the season starts, I would personally prefer the dummy team be permitted to rearrange their roster in accordance with Yahoo's weekly projections and to avoid starting players on bye weeks, but not be permitted to add/drop players. This can be discussed if it ends up being the route we go.

[Kilgamayan]

Will who is in what division be randomized or are people giving some preference on that?
I'd like to be with Rhinox as he is an og from ohio like myself, but if that not happen, its cool.

Out of curiosity, do you have any off-site way to contact Rhinox? Discord, cell phone text, anything like that.

[Kilgamayan]

Also, while I'm thinking about it, I'll be setting up the L1 divisions and schedule after the 12th team matter is resolved but before the draft begins. Since we have 12 teams and 14 weeks, my thinking was to have three divisions of four teams each (since that's what was done last year), and designing the schedule so that Weeks 1 through 3 are all divisional games, Weeks 4 through 11 are against the eight non-divisional teams, and Weeks 12 through 14 are all divisional games again. I want to have this done

before

the draft so that weekly matchups cannot reasonably be accused of taking the NFL schedule into account so as to give anyone an unfair advantage (e.g. matching myself up in Week 7 against a team that has drafted five players with Week 7 byes).

I will set a deadline of Sunday at Whenever I First Log In O'Clock for (a) schedule system objections and (b) divisional setup requests. So far my only plan for (b) is putting PokerFace and Rhinox in the same division. Anyone not involved in any divisional requests by the deadline will have their division randomized. (Division names

can be decided after divisions are constructed; I'll probably use silly placeholders in the meantime

will be the same as whatever they were last year, I forgot there was tradition there.)

[Kilgamayan]

L1 teams are finalized and draft order is set. Anyone in L1 with the time an inclination to do so, please double-check the draft order to make sure it does in fact match the order listed in 126.

I'll set up the schedule tomorrow, I have to be out the door ten minutes ago.

EDIT: In case anyone is curious, "Individual draft picks customized" is probably because setting a custom draft order also automatically comes with assigning keepers. I obviously didn't assign anyone any keepers, but I guess the notification popped up anyway.

[Kilgamayan]

Division distribution time! I'll be using the division names from last year (Division of Death, Voodoo, mith's Envy) and assigning folks at random, filling up each division in the order they were listed in the previous parenthetical. Note that PokerFace and Rhinox will be in the same division as was requested, which means that:

* If one of them is picked for a division, the other will be immediately added to that same division without a roll
* If we reach the fourth roll for a division and neither of them are in it, they will both be removed from the fourth roll pool (this is why they've been moved to the bottom of the list, which has otherwise been wholesale copied from the ordered list in 115)

Once divisions are created, I'll make the schedule based on mith's schedule-maker spreadsheet from 2016.

Schedule is made.

I did note that Week 10 was already set to be a "Rivalry Week", which appears to simply be a cute flavor gimmick that doesn't have any actual functional effect on anything. I did not change any Rivalry Week settings because we had not discussed anything about it as a group.

taking tyquan thornton in the first round this year baybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Kilgamayan]

Yahoo's scoring system is going bonkers with trying to adjust last week's D/ST scores, what the heck

[Kilgamayan]

Goddamnit Pooky let me chase you down already

[Kilgamayan]

For what it's worth, I do genuinely feel slightly bad that Fournette got overtaken like that!

But only slightly.

[Kilgamayan]

Well that was incredibly awful.

[Kilgamayan]

Oh, that's not good.

If any L1 teams are locked for record-related reasons, let me know and I will see what can be done to unlock them, as teams in the consolation bracket should/must be allowed to still be competitive due to the regulation rules change.

EDIT: Never mind the above, I am a fool and found the toggle switch to just turn that off.

Eliminated teams should no longer be locked.

This is what I get for posting while distracted by work.

EDIT 2: I am

not

touching the seed ordering setting, both in general because sudden changes mid-year are a no-no and specifically because my team would be affected and sudden changes mid-season that affect the commissioner's team are

very

much a no-no. That can be a vote for next year.

[Kilgamayan]

I've been ruined by choosing Deshaun Watson as my backup QB

deserved tbh

[Kilgamayan]

If/when peg and LLD win peg will be the 4 seed by divisional record. LLD and I will be 5 and 6 in some order that depends on LLD's margin of victory (assuming that Hopkins and/or Stevenson don't score, like, negative 100 points).

[Kilgamayan]

Pooky and Poker get the byes in L1, Petapan and Pablito get the byes in L2
