I think we should allow a few trades before the announcing of keepers. That could make things interesting.

 

I like the scoring and roster size that we've been using.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to a 2-3 week open-trade-market type deal before announcing the keepers, that could be interesting.

 

Also, I agree with vance that the scoring/roster size is good as-is.

The only change I would make to the scoring would be to allow partial points. Especially with backs and recievers only getting points every 20 yards, there's a lot in between that could make a difference. Otherwise I'm good with having a couple weeks to size things up before declaring our three keepers.

Yeah, I didnt even think about that, that would help a ton with QB's.

While I'm fine with keeping the status quo, I also wouldn't be opposed to a system where we kept 500 points or so worth of players rather than 3 keepers.

 

Boooooo Says the owner of LDT.

I could deal with that, although maybe up it to 550, or make a provision that you can keep at least 2 players even if they add up to more than 500?

That's a good point. I just threw out a random number.

Yeah, I think a higher number works a little better, because then the better teams can keep a small number of their best players, and the lesser teams can spread it out to more players so they have fewer holes to fill in the draft(and they have high picks to try to get an impact type guy).

 

I'd be perfectly content playing it straight with 3 keepers though.

I'd rather just keep 3 keepers to be honest.

 

I do like the idea of a month or so of a trading window before we do the draft, we just need to make sure that everyone knows about it.

I like the idea of points for receptions, but I think it causes WRs to become too overvalued and RBs skyrocket. I do think QBs are overvalued now (should not get 6 points for TD pass, more like 4). But I don't think we should do both receptions and decrease QB points. One or the other.

 

I like a window to trade. But I can't see getting anything back of value that I would keep unless we trade draft picks. As it stands, I'm gonna have to drop 3 of Palmer, Portis, Wayne, Ro. Brown. I can't see getting anything in return that will make me drop the one I keep or Bush or Gore, who I am nearly 100% sure I'm keeping.

Something to consider, we started the draft last year almost two weeks ago, and didn't finish until early September. Maybe we should get on with declaring keepers?

 

I'd be fine with this.

The thing I'm worried about is getting a hold of Burnt and Uber. They haven't been heard from in months.

Well, I'm going to go ahead and start a thread where we can declare our keepers. I have no idea what to do about burnt or uber, though.

If they can't be contacted, I vote we find their replacements.

Yeah, I think we have to consider this. How long do we give them? And who would we ask to take their teams?

August 1 sounds like a good date to me. That gives us a full month or so to draft. As far as who replaces them, we can always just post a thread in the General Fantasy Sports section asking for a replacement or two.

August 1 until we start looking for a replacement, or do we start drafting August 1? If we need to find someone else I think we could afford to be a little selective about it.

 

What say everyone? And get your keepers in, Tobias, ChiCubs, and Vance.

My keepers are in, but I reserve the right to make a change.

I say Aug 1 until we look for a replacement. The first game isn't until the first week of september, right? So then maybe by the end of the first week of Aug we could start the draft (assuming we can find someone quickly).

Is that going to be cutting it tight? That's less than half as much time as it took us last year.

I don't think we set time limits last year though.
