Are we putting a league together again?

I am the de facto commissioner, so I just got the email to reactivate the league.

I'll see if I can sort out the participants list from last year, but I would like to extend invites to those 16 first, and we can create a wait list for other interested parties.

We will need a treasurer. EchoCanyon was our treasurer/bursar last year.

    I'm trying to figure out how to reactivate it. I somehow clicked "hide" on the renew button - and now I can't figure out how to reactivate.

    Worst case scenario - we just copy and paste the settings in a new league.

    I'M WORKING ON IT.

    I'd say I will be on the waiting list......OR if there are enough on the waiting list let's start a second league.

    Do we have any ideas for a draft date and time? I usually work really early in the morning and will want to make arrangements so I can partake in the live draft.
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,719 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think Sunday night works best for most.

    I'll set it for Sunday night. I'll aim for the last weekend in March.

    I'll work on figuring out who's in and who's out, and adding from the waitlist.

    This sounds good. Keep in my mind the last Sunday in March is Easter which my cause trouble for some.

    Last Sunday in March is Easter. Maybe shoot for the 20th?

    If we can find at least 6 more I will run a second league. I think minimum 10 to make it fair.

    I'm sorry I've missed this thread and didn't see the email or pm here to join. It's fine though I see youve already gone onto the wait list. Good luck to all this year, last year was fun.

    Invite sent to flatfoot816!

    That should fill the league.

    Let's talk about money:

    We need a treasurer/end of season money distributor. Feel free to volunteer.

    What's a reasonable buy-in amount? $40?

    We also need to determine payout. My proposal - 50% of the pot to the winner, 35% to second place, 15% to third place OR the best regular season record (assuming that guy doesn't finish first or second).

  • nonpareilnonpareil Posts: 198
    Agree with the distribution. Specifically I like the best regular season record the final 15% (which rewards season success and provides a safety net in case of an upset/bad week late in the year). If the best regular season record finishes in first or second the final 15% goes to the third place finisher (like you said).

    Do you have people pay per transaction during the season or is the buy-in the only source of revenue? $40-$50 would work for me as a buy-in.

  • SidePocketSidePocket Posts: 2,901 ✭✭✭
    It's a lot of teams and a long season. To me paying 4 places makes the most sense, especially with playoffs. You take first or second place and lose two playoff games and you get zero - that's tough when late season injuries blow up a great team that you invested 6 months into.



    I'd be happy to be treasurer if you'd like, just let me know.

    At $40-$50, we should have enough for at least 3, if not 4 prizes, with the 4th being for best regular season record.

    As the new guy in the league, I am for whatever the majority is for. Just let me know where to send the PayPal payment. image

  • orioles93orioles93 Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I would do the 50% to the playoff champion, 35% to the runner up (second place or championship loser) and 15% to the best regular season record. I would pay the 15% to whoever has the best regular season record regardless of if that person finishes 1st or 2nd. If the person who has the best record also wins the championship then kudos to them and they should get both the prizes.

    What would be your proposed distribution with paying four spots?

    And you just scored yourself a treasurer position, friend.

    I like Tim's idea.



    Maybe break it down like this:



    1st - 50%

    2nd - 30%

    3rd - 10%

    Best Record - 10%

    Love the most recent breakdown! You have my vote! $50 buy in? Any fees for transactions?

  • mdkuommdkuom Posts: 969 ✭✭✭
    Assuming a $50 entry fee, I think something like this is pretty fair.

    Playoff champ $350
    Runner up $150
    Third place $50
    Regular season champ $150
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,719 ✭✭✭✭✭
    $50 for season is sufficient I think, especially since it was just $25 last season. I would not want to add additional fees for transactions.

    I agree with all of this, especially with weekly transactions limited to six per week.

    Sounds good to me! I'm just excited to play.

    What about:

    $350
    $150
    $100
    $100

    I'm assuming (in most cases) that the $100 for best record will end up being a bonus to one of the 1-3 finishers.

    I'm a fan of paying as many people as possible - with hopes of keeping people engaged longer.

    This seems to be an equitable distribution and it gives the opportunity for a large amount of people playing for as long as possible into the season.

    Sounds good!



    We need everyone to at least set their lineups weekly~want to avoid any "ghost ship" teams over the second half of theseason.
