If we're making it 12 people now we should change it to three 4 person divisions instead of two 6 person divisions. And I just wish it was an auction/snake draft. Offline is too hit or miss.

The divisions will be updated and the league size could still increase.

The draft will be snake I just we haven't gotten around to change all the settings. Nothing is in stone yet

Please also continue to use this thread for suggestions. I want to make the league as competitive and friendly as possible. Anything from waiver rules, draft pick trading, or anything else people would like to see added.

Also shoot some ideas on a fun way to decide draft order.

The only other thing I could suggest is adjusting scoring for Defense/Special teams. As it currently is the best defense scored a measly 39.8 points last season. And the worst at -88.8 points. I would say reduce the points allowed from -0.4 to either -0.1 or -0.2. If you choose to leave it that way of course. Because I know you can adjust it for given amounts of points scored. (0-6), (7-13), etc.

Definitely changing that. It worked last season, must have missed a setting or two

I had some crazy defense game when Tampa was sick, and they only got me like 40 points. I think they held the other team to something like 75 yards. I was pissed and had the same argument that D should just be eliminated since it can possibly score as much as other positions.

I'm a complete noob at all of this, so I'm probably gonna be asking many questions as this gets started.

What is a snake draft?

It's an online draft. Basically we all get a randomized spot, currently 1-12 as we have 12 people. The person with the first pick picks a player, then 2nd and so on. When it hits the 12th person with the 12th pick it then goes back down the opposite way. So the person who was 12th gets the 12th and 13th pick. And the person who was first gets the 1st and 24th pick. We continue this process until all our teams are full.

As is currently sits we are at 12 players with 11 currently in the league. I would be ok with pushing the league to 14 members with bullets being the 13th player and a 14th player needing to be added.

I will be capping the league off at 14. Here is our current player situation:

  1. Kobe
  2. Brick
  3. Duce
  4. Monster
  5. Jazzy
  6. Muffin
  7. Jester
  8. Sknnie
  9. Jimmyjam
  10. Mauro
  11. Cinco

Invited but needs to join:

  1. JankyTaco

Waiting for league to increase in size:

  1. Bullets
  2. 14th player
