fpuma Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The first 12 rounds will be your starting lineup. This means that you must fill your starting lineup first prior to drafting reserves! I dont agree with this rule change. Just wondering if its common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Never heard of it. Interesting twist, but nothing I'd be in favor of. As a side note, don't you vote on rule changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've seen that in some very bush league setups. Hate it. just like I dislike having to draft a fixed roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz13 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 This is our 16th year in an IDP league where there are 20 starters. We have always had the rule where you must fill your 20 starters before you pick reserves. I've always liked the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalas Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I suppose that it is good in that it eliminates teams stocking up on one position and screwing others in the process, especially in a 2-QB starting league where a team can literally not be able to field a starting lineup if they do not jump on the position early. Having said that, however, I do not like restrictions that limit your drafting style. If you want to draft RB the first 6 rounds, you should be able to if you wish...

xPattonx Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) The first 12 rounds will be your starting lineup. This means that you must fill your starting lineup first prior to drafting reserves! I dont agree with this rule change. Just wondering if its common. A rule like that could never be enforced if you are able to put whomever you want to into your lineup on Sunday's. The players you end up with can be played at anytime I'm assuming which makes this just like any other draft. So whatever play along and say your drafting your starters in certain rounds then play whomever you want screw them. What's to keep you from doing that? And it's anything but ''common'', I've never heard of such a crazy nonsensical rule. Edited August 7, 2009 by xPattonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that is the case, I'd almost be tempted to see what would happen if you said f it and drafted whatever you wanted anyway, figuring that meant you rolled without a K or a D in the first week.

fpuma Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Seriously. Who is your commish...Hugo Chavez? A couple guys thought this was a good idea because they didnt like the fact that a few of us stock up on rbs. Once the rule was released to the league everyone went nuts and it was overturned. I agree. Rules like this should be voted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Anything that involves drafting a kicker by round 12 is asinine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Rule restrictions like this only level the playing field between smarter FFers and less savvy FFers. It hog-ties every owner's drafting and negates acquiring value when it presents itself, regardless of what round the draft is in. I guess that speaks to where your commish is and why he favors this rule... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means if you start 2RBs you can't draft the 3rd RB until you have a K and DEF. Sounds like a rule to help those that can't figure out strategy in a draft. I would never play in it.

That's what I said, I just said I would be tempted to roll without a K and a D in week one and draft my RB and WR backups once I filled in the rest of my lineup.
