Qball86 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 One league I've been in for a long time can be described in a word, standard. I'd love to add some nuances, as would other owners, into the league to bring a little snap to it next year. What kind of "non-traditional" rules do some of you have in your leagues that keep things interesting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've never done it, but have always wondered about like a 2 point bonus for home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatGreg Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 My long standing league (started in 1980) uses HTH and weekly winnings. Won/loss is the difference between the total of all teams and my team's total multiplied by the number of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingfootball Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I dont know how untraditional it is, but in our league our QB's get -6 points for interceptions returned for touchdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMRogers Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Have a few, but one we like the best is loss fees per point - every game you lose, you pay 25 cents a point you lose by in weeks 1 to 10, and 50 cents in weeks 11 to 14. Somewhat to ensure no one tanks at the end and even encourages pickups as points scored may be fees not paid. Also do blind bid real dollar free agents, so you want a guy you can get him but costs real money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, my three RBs are AP, Portis & Turner. That's right, 1, 2 and 3. However, I am in third place. Like I said, challenging.

My league quirks to the left when taking sharp curves. and I don't have the slightest idea what kind of humor this was intended to be but thanks for bumping my thread I guess?

Also do blind bid real dollar free agents, so you want a guy you can get him but costs real money. Now we're on to something, I like the idea of paying out for losing a game. Bet it hurts the one or two times a year you score a lot but run into a team in which EVERY player on their team gets like 2 or 3 TDs and tons of yardage. Also someone mentioned the home game idea and I like the thought but its just to random as to who gets home versus away in each week. Adding one of my own, a friend of mine played in a league that drafted head coaches and got 3 points if that coachs' team won their game.

Bet it hurts the one or two times a year you score a lot but run into a team in which EVERY player on their team gets like 2 or 3 TDs and tons of yardage. When it really hurts is that game when you happen to have a bad week and your opponent sets a damn record - ie, my playoff team (backed into clinching this week) is going to lose this week by somewhere between 50 and 60 - a $25 to $30 fee and I'm the 2 seed in the playoffs in a few weeks.

Although in a TD-only league it's more or less a crapshoot when trying to predict defensive or return TDs. Devin Hester was very valuable last year and one guy actually used a 7th round pick on him this year in the draft. That was pretty stupid. I've been campaigning for this league to change to a performance league since I joined in 1992-93. To no avail........yet. ETA: We give 3 point bonuses for length of TD in this same league: 0-9 yards = 6 points 10-39= 9 40+ yards = 12 Plus if a RB catches a TD pass, a QB or WR rushes for a TD, it's 3 bonus points so if LT catches a 50 yard TD pass, it's a 15 point play. A QB sneak from the one is not 6 points, but 9(happened against me yesterday by DelHomeboy). All defensive and return TDs are worth 12 points, regardless of length.

Tford Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 There is a BOTH league called 32 HomARRRRRRRRRRRs that does a Mid-season plunder. All 32 teams get the ability to protect 4 or 5 players (hidden from everyone). Starting from the worst team up through the best team, you can try to "plunder" a player from another team. If you select a player and he is unprotected, congrats, he's yours. If he IS protected, then you get nothing. So you can try to out-think who may be trying to plunder from you. Reverse-reverse psychology sort of. Once a team tries to plunder from you, successful or not, you cannot be plundered from again. Not my league but I think the idea is great. I usually try to lurk and see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddfish2 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 We have 10 teams in two divisions (5 each) and if you win your division in the regular season, you get to pick your first round opponent for the playoffs from the 3 teams behind you in the division that also made the playoffs. We call it the "Pick Your Poison" award for winning the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 In my big money, we give a 2 point bonus per every 20 yards length of TD (20-39 yard TD gets 2 bonus points, 40-59 gets 4 bonus points etc...). We also reward double TD points for a 'non-traditional' TD. In other words, if a RB receives or throws a TD, he gets 12 points plus whatever yardage bonus (yardage bonus not double, just the TD) or a QB runs or receives a TD, WR returns a punt or kickoff etc... ANYTHING non-traditional for that specific position. Oh and like Whomper, we kill whoever comes in last place usually by drowning or fire.

He was killing people with the double points. ETA: You spelled hugh wrong. Back in the day, Marshall Faulk was HUGH... then Edge came in and was also quite HUGH. Once Tiki Barber and LT and the likes showed up, it was time for a change. It only happened after like 3 years... We also have the 5-point bonus for 300+ passing or 100+ rushing or receiving. As an aside, I went at things a little different in this league this year, opting to go with 3 stud WRs early on. Got Moss, TO and Holmes. Each has been disappointing in their own way and for varying reasons. Safe to say I'm not making the playoffs. But if Moss/TO play like they did 2 weeks ago, I'll have a stab at the weekly high score prize starting this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
