OOTB Fantasy Football 2017

[tarheel0910]

Ok, so last year's league didn't go so well. I think that was mainly due to the fact that we had too many people participating. So, I was thinking that this year we could limit that number to 8 people or 10 if there is enough demand. Hopefully that will limit the league to people who will actively participate. Is there anyone who wants to give it another shot this year?

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I'd be down to try it again.

I think a higher buy-in would dissuade people that weren't committed to it from participating, but if there are other ideas to accomplish that, I'm fine exploring those as well.

I got bored last time.

That tends to happen when you suck at something.

 

[toophly1124]

I'm down.

And if anybody gives two ****s about my opinion I'd suggest at least 10 to keep teams from stacking up.

Also I agree w @Hark_The_Sound_2010. The higher the better.

True

No, we don't.

Hey, I got an idea - why don't we do at least 10 to keep teams from stacking up.

 

[toophly1124]

No, we don't.

Dammit.

 

[heelz2345]

It depends on the buy in for me but i'm tentatively in. In other words

That's a great idea.

[UNC71-00]

I will play if the stakes are decent. If not, then I'm out.

I also insist on a weekly payout to the team which scores the most- this keeps almost everyone interested enough to log on to start the best possible team.

PSA: Some of us posters are poor.

 

[tarheel0910]

If you guys really want to raise the stakes, we can make it a tattoo league.

That's a relative term

Side note

I am in one of the longest running fantasy leagues in the history of western civilization. We started playing in 1985, which is before many of you were born, I would reckon.

[Raising Heel]

I don't want to participate, just stopped by to say you guys should do at least 10 to keep teams from stacking up.

 

[tarheel0910]

We can do 10, but it appears like there won't be 10 people playing. Half of the people want to bet the house and the other half want to keep it where it was.

That's impressive. I'm in a league with my younger brother and his friends that started around 1998 but you've got us whipped.

[HEELS1984]

I'd probably be interested

 

[gunslingerdick]

I'll play only if we have at least 10 teams to keep teams from stacking up. Short of that,

Judging by the posts so far, we'll be lucky to get five. Bunch a prima donnas on this board.

You idiot, it's pre-madonna. Which is better than post-madonna.

That post came dangerously close to getting a like from me.

 

[gteeitup]

didn't i win this league last year?

i win so many, i can't recall.

Yep, that was you.

But is it better than poast-madonna?

 

[toophly1124]

Bump

 

[toophly1124]

****in bump

 

[UNC71-00]

so what's the deal then?

Unless some of you agree to a lower entry fee, there isn't enough people.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I'd go as low as $10, was just saying a higher buyin would potentially prevent the IDGAF situations we ran into last year.

We did $20 last year, so I was originally thinking something in the $20-$30 range.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Set the buy-in at $100 doll hairs and I'm in.

 

[gteeitup]

i don't care what the buy-in is...a weekly payout is too complicated, imo.

We have done weekly payout for a while and it works fine. Highest scoring team each week gets 1/16th of 25% of pot. Not hard at all to track. It gives people who are otherwise out of it a reason to set their lineup each week.

that's your opinion...if you want to track it, then you can be in charge of it.

if it's 12 people that see each other frequently, i could see it, especially if people aren't hip to it from the jump...i've never done it, nor have i ever been in a league where the interest declines.
