Just got a call I have to go away on business for a few weeks and won't have the time to participate. Sorry, I'm sure you'll get enough and be successful. Good luck. It's all falling apart.

Gopher Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Honestly, I thought we would have a little more interest than this. Should have known... there may not even be 18 regular posters left here. I'm doing one with guys from a couple of local leagues, and we have at least a dozen spots filled. For those of you who do my playoff contest.... @darin3, @Shaft.... it's a lot of the same people. Between MikesVikes league and that one, everybody should be able to find a spot (or two). I think filling an 18-team league with purely "long-time" Huddlers at this point is very unlikely.

I'll be honest with you, I'm not really interested in this style of league, especially, if I'm only in a league or 2. This style would be cool to add if it's 1 of 8 leagues you play in. 1 bad week and you're out. I like the idea of playing out an entire season, taking the good and bad and seeing how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't play in a Guillotine league exclusively. But it's kind like climbing a roller coaster and not knowing what's going to happen when you fall. Hint, you usually make it out ok on a roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What roller coasters do you ride that you don't ALWAYS make it out ok? Edited August 20, 2021 by Shaft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Disney earlier this year. I have a grandson that just qualifies to ride. When I ride with him the strap fits nicely over me but there's like a 8 inch gap for him. There were a few times when I thought he'd fly out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in the same boat, there's quite a gap and they're riding with just the centripetal force holding them in the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well, I'm already in like 7 dynasty leagues, a couple of keeper leagues, a handful of "normal" redrafts, and a couple of best balls. So, for me, it's something different. And, quite frankly, I plan to play the entire season regardless of the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly my point, when you're in so many leagues trying something different is cool. For me, it couldn't be my only league.

It's the variety I enjoy, and guillotines also happen to be the perfect format to join/add mid-season. You can do one at any week in the season, actually, up until about Week 10. As for the other part, I would hope that everyone feels that way. Who plays to lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have PayPal but we'll figure something out I'm sure. I'm still in at this point unless payment becomes a delema. Thanks. I have a bestball league on MFL.com.and seen where they will HOST GUILLOTINE LEAGUES for $39.95 or roughly $2 per person for the 18 week schedule. That means no prize money but if people want to give it a try to see how the league season goes it's a way to explore a new format. I still have other drafts to do so I wouldn't be able to do one but I am going to give it a try next year. So thought I'd pass on this info for any of you that were interested.
