Okay, so you guys didn't like the custom scoring options. So we'll try to make things a little more traditional. This year I'm running my usual two leagues.

The first is a full PPR, 12 team league with all the rest of the settings standard. You can see it here. The second is a 2 quarterback, 10 team league, which you can see the settings for here.

The entry fee for each league will be $25, paid via paypal or to me in person. Each league pays out in the playoffs like a sit & go, 1st/2nd/3rd gets 50%/30%/20%.

Preference is given to those in leagues before, and to those who have better reputations here on the boards. But unless you have less than 20 posts or something, it'll be first come first server. And both of these leagues filled last year (and the year before... and the year before....) so I suggest getting in early.

Count me in again...like to do both leagues this year.

 

[bubbasbestbabe]

Need your paypal info.

 

[Gesshoo]

In for PPR league, not the other.

 

[Debi]

I will play in the PPR league - need to do one sooner or later. I will send you money for both me and Joe.

 

[Debi]

I think Cody is going to play in the PPR too.

 

[cardriverx]

Throw me in both, why not.

Also, the settings for the 2nd league say that it's 5 points for Head Coach Win but I see no spot for a Head Coach. Is there going to be a head coach? (I would not like to have one).

PM me your paypal and I can send $50 whenever.

Nope, there's no head coach. We experimented with it last year. It was okay, but ultimately it didn't matter much.

 

[bubbasbestbabe]

Still waiting for your Paypal info.

 

[c9h13no3]

Never seen people in such a rush to give me money

I sent a PM to the people who expressed interest in joining. If these leagues don't fill, I'll just reduce the league size and increase the number of players started for each team, so it plays more like a 12 team league. I expect them to fill though.

If we do I am out. This will already be more time consuming for me since I have never done a PPR league - adding more players to have to recruit and look at will mean I won't have time for it.

Yeah, I'd like to play in an IDP league. There are two problems with it though:

1) They are so hard to fill. Getting 10-12 people who are that hardcore is tough.
2) The scoring system is stupid. Players like Darrell Revis don't accumulate any stats, but they're the best defensive player at their position. So defensive backs like Eric Weddle who help a lot in run support and accumulate tackles are more highly valued than a better player like Revis. It's just kinda dumb IMO.

Not really dumb. Here's my post to an IDP newb from one of my football forums....
"Jerenick, let me give you the Cliff Notes on IDPs, a primer for rank beginners. Lemme say, I've been running an IDP league 3 seasons, and still consider myself a beginner other than the big names. But still manage to do good w/IDPs with these simple tips.

Sure, you can wrack your brain pour over the settings, but shortcut... go into players and click on 2011 stats for each IDP type. When examining the scoring, note not only the diff in how many pts each type IDP scores, but scroll down the page and notice any standard deviations. Just for example... say top 10 LBs score between 200 and 185 pts, next 10 between 160 & 180. Then look at DBs (CB & S) and say the 1st 5 look like this...180, 170, 165, 160, 145 , and the next 15 DBs between 130 and 145. This would make the top couple DBs more of an urgency draftwise.

Do the same for DEs, and you'll probably discover that no matter what the scoring settings are for hem, there is far less variance than for LBs or DBs, so you can probably wait.

Do the same for 2010, and you can even go back to 2009 at NFL, and make note of the consistent high performers. This part is cumbersome (except for at MFL, where each player's line will contain not only avg pts per game, but thei'r score each week, so you can see how many weeks they missed, accounting for lower tot pts). make notes of outstanding rookies like Von Miller and Patrick Peterson.

The next stage of IDP advancement is awareness of all else that has changed on their team, new coaches, absence of other key players (via trade (HOU), susp (NO), retirement, injury, etc).

Forgot to mention, also compared the IDPs to all other positions, as some IDPs (such as ace's bestball league at MFL) may be very heavily weighted toward IDPs, and you may be drafting the top LBs and DBs even before filling out your offense.

And Jeffb is spot on on avoiding shutdown corners like Revis, cuz QBs do too. But with this method you wouldn't even need to know that, the stats will bear it out.

I know this is long for Cliff Notes, but hope it helps." http://graveyardfootball.proboards....st&board=2012discussion&thread=804&post=12545

The post is a year old, so the dates of 2009 & 2010, just add a year. Yeah, IDPs are a huge learning curve, that's why the IDP leagues are harder to fill, but they are getting more popular.
