Dynasty Leagues

[MarkL444]

Who here is in a dynasty league? I'm referring to ones where you keep nearly your entire roster every year, and the drafts are essentially all rookies. How much do you like it compared to regular leagues? What do you run it through?

Mark

[bugstud]

have one on yahoo and love it. ten teamer. entire roster kept.

[uw_madtown]

I'm in a league that's been running for about 15-20 years (all run by hand). I came in about 7 years ago. It's a blast if you get into it. You really grow an odd attachment to players you drafted, and you end up having to know a lot more about the guys on the bench than regular redraft FFers do because the waiver wire is so thin. I have my dynasty draft tomorrow actually.

Give it a try, it's a blast.

[The Armchair]

Dynasty leagues are 100x better than standard leagues and 1x10^10x better than standard keeper leagues.

My article on Football Outsiders described mine.

[MarkL444]

do you guys personally know them people in your leagues?

Yes, but some I met through the league. However, everyone personally knew at least one other person before they entered the league.

I'd be up for this if you decide to get it going.

[bugstud]

so it's on me to run it? yeeeeeeeeeesh

[TeeJayORTj]

Im in a dynasty baseball league and love it. Would love to do a 2+2 football one.

[The Armchair]

I'd be in.

[Redmen62]

I would enthusiastically be in. I just can't seem to find enough fans here in the great white north that are nutso enough to go for a dynasty league.

[bugstud]

ok, entre fee or no? how many teams?

drafting next sat the 3rd at 8pm EST ok?

[UncleRemus]

I'd love to be in this if you need any more heads.

I'd prefer to do it for pride than cash.

I also think it is better if we do the draft ourselves, say, on the forum, and transfer it to Yahoo or whatnot.

[/ QUOTE ]

true, but those in my experience are substantially harder to run, keep everyone for 5 hours and whatnot

I am up for that given that everyone probably will not be taking retarded amounts of time, but would prefer to do the initial live on yahoo then next years rookie drafts offline

put your no money where your mouth is!

4 years running on mine, I dunno on others...all pay leagues I've tried break because of disinterest...maybe it's just a format thing

It's a bit late in the season for a serious league. Maybe I'll get Clarkmeister to come along in a big dynasty league next year. But, I think he's in a few already.

The first year, the league will operate as a one-shot deal, because there's no reason to invest $100 not knowing if the league will exist for the year after.

So, pride > $.

[bugstud]

plan is for a $100 entry league, if that doesn't work $50 should be fine. payouts would be $600/300/200 with 100 going to the guy with most regular season points.

plan would be 18 man rosters, I'm not 100% certain on whether the standard yahoo positions or swiitching some out for flex would be best.

for me, the money isnt really there for me to win it, its there to make the league more serious and competitive, and thus more fun.

[brettbrettr]

I'm in, but I think even a nominal fee would be good.

[doughhater]

If this happens, I would be interested.

[ftball0000]

I'd be in too

I would like to be in this league, and it looks like there is room for 1 more. however, I can't do the draft over the Labor Day weekend. I could, however, do anytime this week.

I'm going to PM everyone to confirm that they are in for the $100 fee. Should the money be due before the draft? That seems right to me. Also I'm thinking maybe if people prefer it we do the first year for $50, just so everyone can get used to it and get to know the other league members, then up it to $100 next year.

Mark
ps- I can draft anytime

I like the $50 then $100 idea

it's scheduled for the third at 8 EST. please tell us if that time will not work.

[MarkL444]

2 people have dropped out. if you want in this league hurry up

[doughhater]

please god tell me that's 8 pm EST

[MarkL444]

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

or maybe we just do 10 ppl if nobody wants in. looks like its 50 first year 100 following years

[TeeJayORTj]

Any night but the 3rd at 8 works for me. And the 50 then 100 idea sounds good.

[MarkL444]

its lookin like we're switching to 10 ppl with 20 man rosters. (was gonna be 12 ppl with 18 man rosters before)

once i get a confirm from a couple more people that i PMd we will be in business and will plan a draft date.

looking forward to a great league

ps- if anybody still wants in feel free to say so.

[Redmen62]

Haven't been back to this thread for a while- the third isn't great for me- long weekend up in Canada, planned to go to the lake. Early next week would be better for me, but if it's the third I'll roll with the punches.

[kenberman]

hi,
just wanted to reiterate that I can't draft this weekend.
I could do tonight, tomorrow, monday, tuesday, or wednesday

[MarkL444]

bugstud is planning the draft, im sure he will see this, but pm him if you want.

[brettbrettr]

Ugh, I'm sorry but Thursday does not work for me. Sigh. I can bow out of I'm the only one who can't make it. I saw someone else was interested.

I'd rather play, but if I'm the only one who can't draft Thurs....

[z32fanatic]

I'm in for this (or any other) if there is still room. PM me please. Thanks.

[Redmen62]

Thursday I work until 11PM ET, I'd certainly be willing to draft after that if none of y'all are early risers.

[TeeJayORTj]

I can do thursday. Ideally around 8 still leaving plenty of time to go out drinking. But really anytime is fine.

[doughhater]

I can draft whenever, as long as I have some notice.

[UncleRemus]

Agreed, I can do tonight or another night as long as there is notice. I'm on a hell of a screwed up schedule, but I'll fix it to work with the draft.

There's nothing wrong with planning your life around fantasy football, is there?

[MarkL444]

bugstud!!!!

[bugstud]

yahoo sucks

I am going to keep checking today for more times but monday won't let me later than 9am and tuesday 3pm right now

You guys should try ESPN. I think they let you draft whenever you want.

[bugstud]

if I can't get any be tonight I may be forced to keep the draft time and have the guys that can't make it get a friend or maybe even someone on here draft for them, by phone if needed, Joe Tall style /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Is the draft time you're "keeping" the Saturday one? That one's a lot better for me than tonight (I wouldn't be available until 11ET)

[kenberman]

I think we need an executive decision re: the draft. if it's going to be tonight, I need to start studying asap... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[doughhater]

I think that everyone needs to just fly out to vegas and we'll all do a live draft.

[/ QUOTE ]

we're going to go with an offline draft on monday or tuesday I think, I want everyone to like their team and enjoy it and whatnot. So one option is an aim chat room. Or we can just do a draft here on the forums .

I'll reserve the right to switch make to yahoo live if a good time on those days happens.

[bugstud]

Alright, the current time will be tuesday at 11pm EST. It will be held in an aim chatroom so please be prepared to pick and do so in a timely fashion. I've had them last forever because people were unprepared and lollygaggers. If it runs long the rest will be done on the forums immediately after the draft up until thursday at noon or so. I believe a couple of people have mentioned that this is when they become availible in the evenings. I am intending this as the last draft time change/type change if at all possible.

If anyone that is in the league is not in yet please pm me or mark for the info, gl etc etc.
