Chief Dick Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) Was thinking today about some variations on this hobby we all have, and came up with the following: 1. 12 team league 2. Normal serpentine draft 3. A very simple performance scoring 4. One division of twelve teams 5. No head to head play (and here is where it gets interesting). You have a normal starting lineup: 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 TE 1 D 1 K Your team accumulates normal scoring as provided by your scoring system. After the weekends games, the top scoring team earns 12 points. The next highest scoring team earns 11, the next highest earns 10, and so on, until the lowest scoring team earns 1. You play a 17 week season, and every week you earn the requisite points based on where your point total leaves you ranked. At the end of the year, the team that earns the most accumulated points wins the league. You could also reward for second and third. I see this as a different, fun league, where you are never really out of it until late in the season. Post here if you think you might be interested, and I'll work out the details later. Seems like a fun idea, and probably a small entry fee($25) would be required. So far we have: 1. chiefdick 2. geeteebee 3. robash 4. chief 5. apocalypse 6. theohiostate 7. vansmack 8. t bone 9. cincy slammers 10. mikesvikes 11. fleming d 12. peepinmofo lcd is in the hole.

Chief Dick Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 I guess it's not as exciting as I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I guess it's not as exciting as I thought. 911123[/snapback] It actually does have a good concept but Im in all the leagues I can handle. Good idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 What would the roster size be? Sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Plane Out Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 that would come in handy if someone bailed out at the last minute and left you with 9 or 11 teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Our league was a "total points" league for the first three years. Usually there were only two teams that had a legitimate shot at winning. Twice we had a runaway winner. We've been head-to-head ever since.

Basically you start over every week. One week you can be low scorer and next week the high. I think the standings can change very rapidly with this format.

Chief Dick Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 What would the roster size be? Sounds interesting. 911135[/snapback] I'm thinking no more than 14 rounds. And trading and free agency would still apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Make it a deep roster, elmiinate WW, use the 'higherst scoring players score points' option, and the league becomes all about the draft. No transactions, no setting line-ups. Just draft, baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeteebee Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'd be interested in a league like this. Nothing pisses me off more than being the 2nd highest scoring team in any given week and losing. elmiinate WW 911280[/snapback] WOW! you better be careful or he'll sick Carl on you.

No transactions, no setting line-ups. Just draft, baby 911280[/snapback] To me, I like the idea of trades and waiver wires, not to mention making a decision every week on a starting lineup. I would prefer this not be a "draft and forget it" type of league. I would rather see some effort put into it over the course of a season to see if this format is worth doing year after year. This is also for research to see if this type of league is viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 This is the same as an all-play league, just rather than getting say 10 wins and 2 losses if you had the 3rd highest score, you get 10 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) Only problem with that format is that you play the best team in your league every week. Edited August 5, 2005 by billay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I am in a league that uses these exact rules and I love it. I would be up for it Chief, send me a PM if we get enough interest and I would love to join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Very good idea. Unfortunately, I'm in whomper's boat -- too many leagues. My 2 dynasties are enough work to keep me busy all year and I have 4 more on top of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Only problem with that format is that you play the best team in your league every week. 911457[/snapback] Yeah, but depending on where you finish EVERY week, your point totals change. Seeing as how no one team is almost never high points every week, the standings could change rapidly. If the top team one week has a low week the next, they could drop real quick.

theeohiostate Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) We have tossed up similar systems that would pit all teams against each other week to week as well. I love the idea and am interested in playing as well, if you have a spot, mark me down. Roster spots? Cost? WW's/Trades.....cost? Have DMD or WW set up a FFLeague site here at the Huddle if you get it running. Edited August 6, 2005 by theeohiostate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably do a waiver order each week. I just need to figure out how to do the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemingd Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) I love the concept, it rewards the best team. 2 years ago I was the highest scoring team in the league, finished 4-9 and missed the playoffs. 3 times I was the second highest scorer and lost to the highest scorer, and 2 others I was 3rd and lost to first/second. Man was I bitter. Still need more? Edited August 6, 2005 by flemingd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
