Dynasty Leagues...

Due to vacations... some of my owners have gotten me to kick things off a week early.

 

It was supposed to be this Friday... but I pushed it back a week because of vacations. They talked me into going a week earlier instead.

 

I think I will have some owners who won't want to draft until the very last minute due to injury concerns and such (and I am not going to force them, so it might get to the 1.6 and stop for a week) .... I am just looking for some prespective to see just how early this is.

Right after the NFL draft.

 

I don't quite understand leagues that have their FF drafts before the NFL draft - situation and opportunity mean a lot in player value. Luck becomes a hugh factor in drafting a player who then lands in the right spot at the right time.

 

I also don't understand delaying drafts significantly. Part of the reason for playing in a dynasty league is trying to match the feel of NFL management, if even in a small way. That would include trying to match the uncertainty of knowing which rookies will pan out and be NFL-caliber, and which will end up being busts because their talent doesn't make a good transfer from college to the bigs.

 

Even information from minicamps and passing camps can impact judging whether a player has the ability to fit into the league. The sooner after the NFL draft, the better.

 

All 3 of my dynasty leagues (actually, one is a contract league) have not only started their drafts, but finished them already. One started "officially" the week after the NFL draft, but allows the first owners up to start early if they wish. They have every year, and like this year, the draft is usually done by the middle of the second week after the draft. One holds to a hard time line and doesn't start until one week after the draft, and the third started 2 weeks after the NFL draft.

We have ours before pre-season games start, and some in the league complain that is too early. :wacko:

Most here start this month, anywhere from the first to third week of May.

What BJ said. And most leagues that I know of use a clock of some sort (6-, 12-, or 24-hour) although you hope you never have to worry about it.

Yeah... we typically roll with an 8 hour clock (with folk getting really POed when people use the whole thing) but I did open it early and don't feel right in forcing people to pick earlier than what we had agreed upon.
