IF a New League is Started...

[Hosak8]

So, with a couple of feelers being put out on the potential of starting a new league (which I sincerely hope does not have to happen...), I was wondering a couple of things...

 

To make it more fair for new owners (especially if we were to expand the league to 14 teams), would anyone be interested in an expansion draft, further limiting the number of keepers we're allowed? It would only be a one time thing, as more than 14 teams would seem like far too many to keep the rosters interesting. So, any interest, or would you rather just keep your current roster as is, and find owners to just assume current teams that have owners who want out?

 

Basically, do you want to continue this league as is, or do you want a blank slate that we can work together on? I'd be willing to do whatever is needed to continue this league or begin a new one. I just would be interested in knowing who else is on board.

I have 2 new owners interested. If 9 or 10 of us from the current league wanted to stay intact, we're only about 2-3 people from beginning. I need to know what some of you are thinking. The league is set up, now we simply need commitments from owners and feedback on how you'd like to restart.

[Hosak8]

I now have 6 interested owners. Not all will work out, just by law of averages. But, if 4 will, and we keep 10 of us together, we have a new league ready to go. I need to know who (from here) has interest, just in case Tim doesn't start this back up.

I am interested, but there has to be a way to do it through yahoo without being too big of a pain in the ass.

I do not like Yahoo at all. Just a preference thing, I guess. If we take enough people to the new league on CBS, which is already set up, we can have people keep their current teams, have new owners take over abandoned teams, and have an expansion draft for two new owners. That would mean everyone getting their teams legal ASAP and getting the new teams drafted with time to spare before the league draft. Or, we could start from scratch, which sucks for people who have worked to get their teams set up the way they like.

 

I am also open on scoring suggestions, and will want input from all members of our current league who plan t stay intact.

Hosak, sent you a PM.

 

BTW, I am interested and would like to try and keep teams intact.

I am also interested; however we need to find a way to keep owners interested and participating. One thing that would keep owners interested in probably money. We can pitch in a bit more than the league costs and offer the winner free next year. Just a thought to get people interested...other thoughts?

we can find a free league, deal with the pain in the keister stuff but toss in what we would pay to renew the league as the pot and split it up 3 ways at the end. This way it pays 1-3 places and keeps everyone in even for the consolation round for 3rd place

The only problem is that I've never seen a free league that offers keeper rules. You'd lose your team at the end of the year, and have a lot to keep up with over the offseason. I like the idea of charging a little extra and letting the winner play free the next year. I'd even be up for trying to find a way to reward the top 3, as well.

So, as it stands, I have 5 new owners interested (2 NSBB members, 3 from a Rivals site), and from our current league, I have heard from:

 

myself

Dawg Pound

Whitesoxaholics

Jiddy

Slainte

SoCal

Roady

 

Still waiting to hear from:

 

MM

Goo

Raw

BronxDSB's

 

I'd like 2 firm yeses from this group, and we're done. Also, if you have other friends who are interested, I will listen. I just need to know this week. I want to fill in the league by this weekend.

Both MM and DSB are in! Sent additional messages to goony and raw.
