Good idea Dirk, I'll change the trade approval to 2 days. Here's the thing though, I switched from a veto system to commissioner approval. Veto system has never worked out in my experience. I hope you guys can trust my judgment here. I won't veto any trades unless it's clear collusion or sometime is trying to rob someone who has no idea what's going on... which, since MP isn't currently playing, shouldn't be a problem :P In a perfect world, no trades will be vetoed.

And yeah, we have fractional points enabled. Yahoo has that box checked automatically, AS IT SHOULD BE :P

Don't forget to sign up BWT! I'll move the sign ups thread to this forum.

I think all purpose/ return yards is a bit silly unless it's something like 30 yards per point, and maybe a 100+ yard bonus. That way a big TD run is worth about 10 points, I think that's fair. Special Teams just doesn't have much time to impact a normal football game, and I think their fantasy output should reflect that.

If I could delete kickers too, I would

I would however be down for an IDP slot if enough people were in favor of it.

Probably a Tim Tebow fan wrote:I've never played in an IDP league, so how does that work? Is there an extra slot for that position or does it eliminate Def or take another position's spot?

I've seen it both ways. It can either take the place of Team Defense or complement it.

With IDP you get points for things like tackles, sacks, passes defended, those sorts of things.

He said he's retiring it.

Should we just make a league with all the obscure and ridiculous scoring methods? 3 starting QBs anyone??

I think this undervalues A LOT of lower tier players whose contributions are equal to that of any other player but the only time they get a chance to make plays is on special teams. For example, last year Ameer Abdullah had more yds as a kick returner than he did at the RB position, and that had value for his team but wasn't reflected in our league.

It would also make things more competitive because there are more options at free agents rather than sifting through the pile of garbage hoping for someone who could score more than 3-5 pts. in a given week.

I'm trying to do a max of 12 teams per league, and at least this first league will have a short bench (5 players). It shouldn't be too difficult to find decent fill ins or even every week starters on the waiver wire, and there should always be something there if you need it. Players DO get points for return TDs so those types of players are still valuabke if you need to roll the dice.

linki Lmao, punters. Now I'm sold.

Personally I'd love to play with 1 IDP spot, but I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea :P

If we did all purpose yards, then return yards would be worth less than rushing/receiving/passing. Something like 30 yards per point, maybe even less.

I figured I'd make a quick poll for everyone to choose their preferred settings for the year. Please choose one from each category!

This would also be the place to discuss any other changes you'd like to see, or any other concerns you might have about the league settings.
