Is the Individual Trading of Picks allowed (1 for 1, 2 for 2)? Because I'd like that option on. Makes the Draft more dynamic/interesting.
What? Lemme check, I'm positive it was an option. I wouldn't have spent the last 2 years petitioning that if that wasn't...I'm not sure Yahoo has anything like that but lemme check
edit: There's no draft pick trades as far as I can see
So are we gunna do the pre determine draft order stuff?
Those don't have to be mutually exclusive things.I'd rather let the system do it tbh
Who's in the League, can you post a list of all the members/scoring settings? I'm trying to decide whether I should do a Yahoo! Pro20 League or the Economy League.I'm pretty sure the Economy League will have draft order known at least a few days ahead of time with the option to trade draft picks. That's assuming we get enough players! There's still room for four more. Frankman, you should join.
When you get moving on the decision on payouts.Guys, let's get moving on the payments. Only 4 so far

I'll give you an answer tonight/tomorrow.
Just tried to join the economy league, looks like its full?
I was going to bypass the Economy League this year but seeing how The Frankman is signing up I couldn't help renewing for a second go at it.Wow. Never did a Bonus Points League before.
I remember in Season 3 I kinda made a verbal commitment, so I'll follow through. I'll join the league, just 2 more questions:
Are the waivers rules the same as the No Quitters 4 League? Snake draft also?
Will they be individual pick trades or merely draft slot trades?Edit: Yes, it's a snake draft. I want to set the draft order early and allow for draft pick trades.
Will they be individual pick trades or merely draft slot trades?
In other words, if I'm slated to draft 10th through 12th but don't want Gronkowski or Graham, I would try to trade my draft slot to someone with an early pick who will have no chance at landing either one of them and loves those TEs. Or will this be a case of trading like a 4th round and a 5th round pick for an extra pick in the 2nd?
When you get moving on the decision on payouts.
I signed up for Economy just now. 11th team plus the one reserved makes 12 and it's closed now?
How do I pay and what are the payouts?
80-30-10. 4 team playoff for now, but I might change that to 6 teams with the top 2 seeds getting 1st round byes.
And yeah, if you're in, and if acksman is in, then we have our 12. I'll send out paypal info tomorrow.
6 teams would keep it competitive so teams don't go belly-up when they're at 500 or below. 4 teams seems a bit more traditional though. Letting half the field in the playoffs doesn't seem right.
I was going to bypass the Economy League this year but seeing how The Frankman is signing up I couldn't help renewing for a second go at it.
Most 16 teamers I've been a part of had 8 playoff spots.
Once all 12 are in and confirmed, I'll send out a message and put it up for a vote. That's something that we don't need to finalize just yet, and we have almost two weeks until draft day.
In what manner? It looks the same as the NQ4, only difference is FAAB (which I admit is a rather big change) and the Bonus points... which isn't something you can game plan for/around.I'm in 6 Fantasy leagues this year, I need help. At least all of them are yahoo leagues except for the pesky Fleaflicker league (work one).
I think the Economy league will be the most challenging, neve played in a setup like this before.
Every year I tell myself I'll cut back and then I wind up breaking my own personal record for fantasy leagues in the final week of August. I think I have a problem.I'm in 6 Fantasy leagues this year, I need help. At least all of them are yahoo leagues except for the pesky Fleaflicker league (work one).

I plan on doing mine soon but the big layoff yesterday kinda wrecked my day. I'm still in though
Not doing the WC league. Was expecting them to announce details on their podcast but it turns out they went the Facebook route instead and filled all their slots as of yesterday.Ah, Uber, you were going to join the WC league too? I was until he set the draft date to the same time as my keeper league. Now gotta wait and see.

Can you get cracking on this OT, Frankman?I have alot more free time this year (and a spare laptop ) so expect a return of The NeoGAF Fantasy Football Paypal League OT!!!
Would be nice if I can find a dang graphic for it, the ones I used in the past are gone...
... The OT is just the name I use for the writeups, it's the same name Fox uses for its Sunday Night postgame show. By "return" I meant doing the wites of the FF day. I wasn't making a new thread, that defeats the purpose of this one.Can you get cracking on this OT, Frankman?
The natives in the NFL thread are getting restless at all of the fantasy football chatter people keep posting in there.
Not exactly. We've had a separate fantasy football discussion thread the past three seasons for the sole reason that people will invariably want to discuss free agent pickup & drafting scenarios pertaining to their own non-NeoGAF leagues and by discussing them in here you invariably risk tainting the GAF leagues while we use this thread to talk trash and discuss moves/results after they take place....

cloudy how are we doing on buyins?
Trust me, the fact that they loathe discussion is why the NFL thread is the best place. Do you know how many FF players are actually IN NFL-GAF?Not exactly.

Would I love to give draft advice or to discuss their lineups right now? Sure!
Will I do it in this thread prior to draft day? Hell no.
Will I discuss hot free agent pickups before our waiver date? Hell no.
Will I recommend start/sit decisions in a realm where it could impact my matchup in one of my GAF leagues? Hell no.
Will I do these things in another thread dedicated to fantasy football for leagues I'm not in? Certainly. The NFL community thread would be fine for this purpose, IMO... EXCEPT for the fact that they loathe fantasy discussion there. In fact, they get pissed off if you actually discuss the game of football.
I suppose I may need to start this one myself then
Of course I'm in Ubertag's Division.
OF. FUCKING. COURSE.
Looks like 6 teams get in the playoffs now in Economy league. One less week of the regular season.
Yeah, I wanted to keep the season interesting for longer. If only 4 get in and 8 go home, some teams are basically eliminated by Week 4.
The question is whether we want to have the playoffs take place during Weeks 14, 15 and 16, or during Weeks 15, 16, and 17. I lean towards the former because of how many playoff teams rest their starters during Week 17. For instance, Aaron Rodgers is almost certain not to play during Week 17, and that wouldn't be fair to a Rodgers owner who rode him to the championship game.
Would you have rather been in the Pony division?Of course I'm in Ubertag's Division.
OF. FUCKING. COURSE.
Guys, we've hit the deadline. Payment has to be in by Monday if you haven't PMed me about a delay...
