New Fantasy Football League - 2018

[CanDB]

Hey folks....this is just a concept right now, but we are considering a new Fantasy Football League from members of Broncos Country. But time is of the essence, so if you want to enter your name, please do so as soon as you can. Depending on the response, we will make a fairly quick decision as to whether we commit to a league or not.

Just a word...no Broncos prizes, given this is not a Broncos Country sanctioned league.

This is a competitive league. We are looking for folks who have some experience. We anticipate that some folks will already be in at least one other league. We also are looking for folks who will finish the season, even if out of contention. That's the goal, although exceptional circumstances are understandable. I think you all can appreciate that a FF league suffers when players do not try to commit to this aspect. When I have played and been out of contention, I actually put extra effort in to become a spoiler. Hey, the waiver process can really help out teams that have had a tough start!

So here's the deal.....consider the basic qualifiers (albeit they are not very rigid), and respond to this thread. The hope is to form at least a 10 player league, preferably 12. Then stay tuned for further developments.

I'm in and I can be the commissioner if you'd like.

Excellent! there is a big problem however.....I hear you win a lot!!!

As for Commish….yes, you got it. In fact, we can talk on the side about things, and how to go forward.

Otherwise....GAME ON!!!

OK, twist my arm.....Although you should know that I am very hard to beat so I don't want to hear any whimpering when I lay the smack down

As we fill the league, some things to consider:

1. Name of the league? I was thinking of something like BCMB FF Smackdown, but I'm open to suggestions.

2. Draft date. If the owners want to have the draft on a Sunday, we can do it on August 26, before the 4th preseason game, or September 2, four days before the start of the regular season.

3. Rules: I prefer to play with the standard rules, considering how hard it is to get a customization that satisfies 10-12 owners. However, I once played in a league with a reduced bench. Reducing the bench by 1 or 2 spots makes roster management a bit harder and makes the use of the waiver wire more impactful, but that's up to you.

1) I like the name you have chosen.
2) I strongly prefer the September 2nd date, because I feel like there is less chance for preseason injuries to mess with our lineups. With that said, if that date does not work, I would suggest alternate dates close to the season start.
3) I like standard rules by and large. I am open to what the group prefers.

Thx Rod!

Effective immediately I am now a player/league cheerleader, and as such, Rod takes over all aspects of being a Commish.

I am really looking forward to this league. Who knows where it will take us!!

I concur with the Sept 2nd date. I run a league with a group of friends and I am drafting on the 26th

Rod...can you keep up with the flow???

Not exactly the equivalent to ticket requests for Bruce Springsteen, but a pretty fast pace on the first day!!!

Thx folks!:thumb:
