TOPIC: Starting a TD fantasy football league

When going to edit the first post with new information I hit delete by accident. So this is roughly the information in the first post.

Ok let’s try this again. This is for the fantasy football league I am going to try to get going.
League type PPR Auction
What is PPR? Points per reception
What is an Auction draft? You bid on players with a 200 dollar salary cap against the players in your league. If you bid the highest for a player, you get them. Also you cannot bid more than the money you currently have. So if you only have 5 dollars left and 3 spots on your roster to fill, your highest bid will be 3 dollars because you need to leave at least 1 dollar to bid on your other two spots.
When are we meeting? At Gen Con. When TBD.
Cost of entry: For a 8 team league it would be 125 per owner. 10 team league 100 per owner. 12 team 85 per team. This will be used to buy a condensed $1000 dollar pack. Payment for the league is due before the draft, preferably one week prior.
Prizes
The format I am thinking of using is this (assuming 10 teams)

5 teams per division
13 regular season games
top 6 are super bowl playoff teams
bottom 4 are toilet bowl teams

super bowl playoffs 3 weeks with division winners getting a first round bye, single elimination.
toilet bowl is round robin.

Winnings, this is if we go 100 dollars per team and 10 teams in, also assuming no golden ticket and condensed pack.

Tooth of Cavadar=1pt
URs=1pt each
Both Modules combined=1pt

Winnings taken in order...
Super bowl winner gets 3 points to spend as above
Division winners get 1 point to spend (the number 1 seed picks first, then the number 2 seed)
Points title (most points scored in regular season) 1 one point
Toilet Bowl winner 1 point

Then ever week of the regular season, whichever fantasy team scores the most points that week will get a package of tokens from the other tokens we have. I would say a package like this

9 random rares
18 random uncommons
and 3 random draws from the combined healing potions, trade items and Gold Pieces.

I could either have my kids draw them out of a hat and send these when I get them from TD or bring these to the next gen con for each coach to pull themselves at the next league meeting.

IF we happen to pull a golden ticket the super bowl winner gets it, but forgoes all other tokens won. If that is the case the distribution would be

Super Bowl GOLDEN TICKET
Division winners get 2 pts to spend, again #1 seed gets first choice
Points title gets 2 pts to spend
Toilet Bowl winner gets 1 point

Under this scenario, if the Super Bowl winner was ALSO a division winner and/or the points title winner we will put the left over URs back into the rare bag to be drawn randomly for the weekly winners.

Also if we happen to get the extra UR (20% chance) it goes into the rares bag to be picked randomly.

This is my idea for doing it and is as fair as I can think to do it, if there are any obvious holes that I have missed let me know. If you want your tokens at gen con they would be free to pickup at the league meeting for the next season, if you would like them right away I would be able to ship them, but would need the receiver to pick up the shipping cost

So far we have a meeting scheduled for 9 am Friday at Gen Con.

Also it looks like we are going to start our draft on Saturday Aug 26th. Start time some time between 1100 and 1300 hours eastern time.

Everyone has paid, and only Fred and Melissa are yet to join the league! Happy day!!!

RIght. I forgot that the end of the season would be essentially new years, after preorders would be made.

I would be interested.

Yeah normally I would pay out at the super bowl. In this case it would be whenever the order was received. Wade any other TDites you think interested in this?

Good deal. I think I will edit the first post for those who want in. Maybe, if we get 10 people total, we can do a run each year at Gen Con with the league. That would be interesting. LOL

fine with everything, thursday is a bad day for me for meeting


also for the auction draft, are you doing it where each person nominates a player to be bid on? so If I am number 1, i can nominate Brady and he is on the block?

The meeting date and time will be changeable based on everyone's schedules.

If we use ESPN's fantasy football site, which I am quite familiar it works like this....

All ten teams are put in a random order. So for example if the teams were just numbered 1-10 the order would be something like this

7 1 4 5 2 10 6 3 9 8

So team 7 would nominate a player, then team 1, then team 4 and so on until team 8 nominates a player and you go back to team 7 then 1 then 4... ect...

Also you can not overspend for a player either, if say you have 25 dollars left and 5 spots left on your roster the most you can spend on a player is 21 dollars. If the bid goes over what you can pay it greys out. Because IF you spend 21 dollars you would have 1 dollar to spend on each of your last 4 players. Also when you nominate a player it costs a minimum of 1 dollar.
