Horseshoe Blue PPR 2017

[Narcosys]

 

Since everyone else is starting up their threads again, I might as well do the same. Especially now that I have some sort of internet connection over here.

 

@Bluefire4, @PuntersArePeopleToo, @IndyD4U, @Btown_Colt, @Coltman51, @BPindy

 

Which of you guys are still in?

 

If so, any new ideas for rules, trophies, etc?

[Lucky Colts Fan]

My fellow Americans, you'll have to excuse me, there's an opening in a PPR league in the next room.

 

 

@Narcosys  I'm in.

LOL, your my new favorite member. Unfortunately you're probably going to be drafting last if everyone else joins from last year.

[Btown_Colt]

I'm in

[IndyD4U]

Yes sir!

I see the draft is "offline".  Is it the "snake" format?  I would actually like drafting last if it means I get two picks in a row each time.

Yes it is snake.  The date and time will be set later once all teams are filled and we can pick a good date.  Should be able to view the league rules and get the jist of everything. 

[BPindy]

Yep yep I'm in

[Narcosys]

 So I've 9/10 slots confirmed. Going to be sending out another notification here soon.  Keep to see if another spot opens.

@Bluefire4, @PuntersArePeopleToo

 

Are you guys still in this year?

 

Looks like punter hasn't been on here since August of last year.

Awesome,  thanks. 

 

Do you, or anyone else,  have any ideas or changes they may like to see?

 

Thoughts on how it was run last year?

 

@BPindy @IndyD4U @Btown_Colt @Coltman51

 

@Lucky Colts Fan , you weren't here last year but do you have any thoughts after looking things over?

 

 

Also, how long do we want to give @PuntersArePeopleToo before we start to look for a replacement?

[IndyD4U]

I'm happy with the settings, waiver order, etc.. PuntersArePeopleToo hasn't visited the forum since 8/14/2016.

 

I say cut the cord now

[BPindy]

Anybody open to making TD passes 6 points for QBs? Makes the difference between good/bad QBs a little more realistic and makes the first few rounds of the draft a bit more interesting IMO

@Narcosys

I'd be ok with that.

As the league manager I don't consider myself to have too much of a vote, but I can see how it helps non mobile QB's compete against the more mobile,  but less throwing ones.  

 

Again, I try to get a super majority before I make any changes. Which in this instance it's 7 votes out of 10.

 

Can I get a vote on this?

 

I have @BPindy and @Lucky Colts Fan

Voting for.  

 

I will ask my wife and my friend for theirs. 

 

@IndyD4U @Bluefire4 @Btown_Colt @Coltman51

 

What do you say?

 

I will also go ahead and remove Punters from the league. 

 

 

 

So you anyone else reading this,  we have an opening.

It does make draft strategy more interesting

[Btown_Colt]

I'm good with settings and vote yes.

Yes for me.

[Narcosys]

That's the required 7 votes to make change. 

 

I will make the changes soon.

@BPindy, @Lucky Colts Fan, @IndyD4U, @Bluefire4, @Btown_Colt, @Coltman51

 

Currently our draft order will be reverse order of last years final rankings (from championship, not overall season). With how I did it last year, if there was a vacancy I would give people the option to move up or down, and once all that was settled, allow the new people to get the spot that is left.

 

I could continue to do this, or is there a different way you want to set up the draft?  In another thread they suggested the reverse order pick their positions.  Any thoughts?

[Btown_Colt]

I think the way you do it is fair

Let's all welcome @chad72. He has graciously volunteered to fill in our 10th spot.  I'll start working on draft orders and filling in the gaps.

I am in, thanks for having me.

@BPindy, @Lucky Colts Fan, @IndyD4U, @Bluefire4, @Btown_Colt, @Coltman51, @chad72

 

its still quite early to know for sure, but what timeframe is everyone looking at to do the draft. I prefer the last two weekends in August (18th - 20th / 25th - 27th) or the first weekend of September (1st - 3rd). 

 

Also, please let me know what time zones you are in. It will be trickier this year and may have an odd time so be flexible. I am working out of the Greenwich mean time zone. That means I am 5 hours ahead of you in the East coast and 8 hours ahead of you in the west coast. However, I promise to get the best possible time for everyone. It might be an afternoon (1pm - 3pm CST) A night time one would be quite difficult for three of us to pull off (three members are in Europe). But I understand the difficulties of trying to conduct a draft with children, that's why nap time or bed time can be best.

September 2nd, that the scheduled time shows is fine with me, from 1 - 4 pm ET.

[Lucky Colts Fan]

I think that Sunday afternoon, Sept 3rd would be best.  It will be the only Sunday without football games to watch anyway, might as well do the draft then.

[Btown_Colt]

As usual, it makes no difference to me. I'm pretty flexible so I'll just go with what everyone decides. I am in the Eastern time zone.

[BPindy]

Eastern time zone, my vote is for Sept. 3rd but I can make almost any weekend work

[IndyD4U]

I can accommodate any day/time

[chad72]

Just make sure we don't clash with the CFF Elite league draft time. 

 

(OR)

 

Make a decision on the time in this league first so that those that are in both leagues can be clear about their availability for the draft in the other league.

Can you do September 3rd?

Yeah, I can do September 3rd, I am fine with anywhere between 1 and 5 pm ET. I am afraid both leagues are going to end up on September 3rd with 6 hours of my day spent on FF drafts.  

 

Regardless, setting a time helps us all plan for it.

I haven't seen the scheduling from the other leagues. That sucks. If that is the case then we can try to reschedule for the 2nd if everyone else can make it.

Go ahead and schedule this for September 3rd, the other league has not scheduled anything yet. Then, I can ask the other league for an alternate date.

@BPindy, @Lucky Colts Fan, @IndyD4U, @Bluefire4, @Btown_Colt, @Coltman51, @chad72

 

So September 3rd will be our date.  Give me a good 2-3 hour block of time that you will be available to conduct the draft and I will finalize it in our settings. Thank you.

September 3rd is not really a good day for me but if anything I will have my draft queue set up. 1PM-4PM may be the best timeframe for me but even then I may have to exit early.
