With the shortened schedule, I think the only thing that makes sense is a full roto points standings league. Kind of like the EPL, top of the table wins it.
 

yes.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

what's the buy in going to be? and then what will regular season/playoffs payouts be?

[Fawesome 111]

what's the buy in going to be? and then what will regular season/playoffs payouts be?

Assuming we do roto points I think the final standings payout would look something like $400/$150/$50. Assuming all 12 members stay in at a $50 buyin.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

does the regular season winner get paid? 

[Fawesome 111]

not if we are doing roto. the regular season winner IS the "playoff" winner. 

if we did H2H, i would think the season would be too short to pay off that winner and the playoff teams. 

[NOMAAA 1,699]

head to head wont work in this unless we have divisions and only play the other teams in our division.  top 2 go from each division goes to the playoffs.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

we need to get a check-in from everyone in the league to make sure we'll all still in to play, amd so that everyone has a chance to be part of the decision making. obviously those of us who've been posting the last few days are in. let's try and get a hold of everyone else as soon as possible.

Might have gone to spam? It comes from ESPN. Or you put in a bogus email. Either way, it just said come on here and post so you’re good.

[Capn81 396]

Hopefully I did not miss this above, but with the real possibility of the season not fully being played, is there a set numbers of games that we will use to determine that enough games were played to count? Or will all 60 games need to be completed for our league to count?

[NorthLoop 14,421]

Yeah we might need to make a decision now about what happens if the season gets canceled halfway through. 

[huge 3,824]

Cancelled season is a NO BET

refund all wagers

 

I'll donate regardless

[NOMAAA 1,699]

if the season is cut short, the person with the first overall pick should be declared the winner.  congratulations derka.

[Capn81 396]

I guess I should have said my take above when I asked the question. I say that at least 45 games should be played for anything to count. 3/4 seems like a good number to make things official.

I am also cool with all or nothing.

[henrygandorf 29,218]

derka got banned.

[Fawesome 111]

derka got banned.

Oh lordt. What now?

[Capn81 396]

derka got banned.

Again? Do we know which other handle(s) he uses?

[henrygandorf 29,218]

he'll creep back onto this thread as some shadow operative...

[NorthLoop 14,421]

I really hope his handle is Shadow Operative

[NOMAAA 1,699]

So when do we want to draft?

[UTPhil2006 3,909]

Do we have a synopsis of everything we decided on?  Roto, payouts, playoffs, etc

[Fawesome 111]

From what I’ve gathered from this thread

12 guys, $50 buyin, full roto format, no playoffs
Payout: $400, $150, $50

Season must play at least 50 games. Full refunds if season ends before that.

Did I miss anything?

[NOMAAA 1,699]

same draft order or re-draw?  same is probably good since we just pushed it back a few months.

[Fawesome 111]

“Same is probably good so we don’t have to listen to derka bitch and moan for 3 months”

FIFY

But yeah same order makes the most sense. Nothing has really changed except a delay.

[henrygandorf 29,218]

yep, all sounds good.  the first games are thursday night (the 23rd) so maybe that tuesday (the 21st) - 2 weeks from today?

otherwise, espn has adjusted their settings for standard leagues.  they upped the amount of ir spots for covid, and reduced the min/max for starts/innings where applicable.

everyone needs to get a new team name/pic and get to fucking work already i'm tired of this shit.

[henrygandorf 29,218]

has everyone confirmed?

@Fawesome

[Capn81 396]

20th-22nd work for me as draft dates. Anytime after 7pm Central.

@Fawesome

haven't seen a post or email from @BigOrange1 or @beer regarding the restart roto plan.

[NOMAAA 1,699]

If they are out that might be good. I would like us to expand rosters for the short season. If guys get the covid and are out a few weeks that could kill your team. 

[NOMAAA 1,699]

Offensive categories only though.

So we doing this Tuesday?

[beer 3,268]

I'll stay out if thats OK.  If it fucks everything up I'll be there.  I am not feeling this and I am seriously busy all goddamn day anyway for the last few weeks.

Thats fine. Roto doesn't need an even number of owners. We will get you back next year. 

[Fawesome 111]

11 confirmed. Full roto. Draft is Tuesday the 21st at 8pm. Sound good?

[henrygandorf 29,218]

yessir.

Here is a good FAQ for the ESPN changes:

What are we doing with the draft order since beer is out?

Just moved everyone up a slot

The only right thing to do. Reverse the order with no snake.
