DIV IV - Where the pros play

Thanks Sophia for managing this! I’m available anytime from 8pm MT on, if you’ve been rolling with 1 point PPR, then I’m fine with that. Thanks!

Is rather draft Wednesday as I have a draft already going on Tuesday. I'd also rather stick with 1 ppr.

Draft is tentatively set Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 10PM EDT. I have a request that really prefers 1030PM EDT. I know several have said anytime is good, or have said either option works Tuesday works - just going to PM those who I don't see on the thread much, and will go with whatever the majority response is I receive by Thursday. Have had some requests to post the draft order early, so will do that once we finalize draft date and time.

My thoughts with going later on Tuesday - we are very close to kickoff at that point if there is an issue with draft, it either moves to even later that day usually by an hour or moving to Wednesday, the last day to draft. It's been about 50/50 for how many times draft hasn't worked on NFL site over the last few years. Maybe it will work great this year... just trying to take that into consideration from the past.

Second request is that we change PPR from 1 pt to .5 pt. I prefer 1 pt myself and that is what we currently have . If majority response I get is to lower it to .5 - I'll change, otherwise we will leave as is.

leave it at 1 ppr IMO

As mentioned, I'd prefer another time (for the same reason), and Wednesday would be good.

I asked for 1/2 point PPR because I don't love the fact that players get positive points (in 1 point PPR) for simply catching a ball, even if they lose 9 yards on the play. For me, it is not an indicator of real value. Heck, a back could catch 10 balls in a game, on simple little passes, and lose 100 yards, and break even for the day in fantasy. That's my pitch.

Alright seeing some like Wednesday better - getting feedback as well that Tuesday is pretty late for those who wake up early like me, but are on the east coast....

So If Wednesday the 9th works better for people, please let me know the timeframe including your time zone that we are looking to get within. Maybe instead we could do 8 or 8 30 PM Wednesday?

However....if we stay 1 point PPR, it's up to us to select the right type of players. It's all good.

Anytime Wednesday night works for me.

makes sense man. my view is, if you're going to be a ppr league then be 1 ppr league. otherwise just be non ppr, not a fan of the half point personally.

[Sophia23]

Thanks guys for the responses here - think we'll try to move to Wednesday if that ends up working better for all!

[BroncosFanInPA]

any day is fine with me, just not as late as 10 pm eastern time...i'm in the eastern time zone so that is a bit too late

[Danzler88]

Love the new draft time. I'll be there. Any way we could get a draft order sooner so we could practice from our spot before the real thing?

I get ya. All or nothing. So yeah, PPR leagues are thriving, but I am just not a big fan of the reward per catch. BUT as mentioned, you play in a PPR league, you draft like you're in a PPR league!:thumb:

[Sophia23]

Looks like we are going with Wednesday at 830PM EDT, since I've heard back from the majority already. We are staying with 1 pt PPR.

Sure thing, Danzler88!
