Wanted - Fantasy Football Commissioner

[Zool]

If you get more than 12 teams per league, the talent pools is too far dilluted. At 16 teams, someone would have Alex Smith as their backup QB and thats not good.

I say limit it to 48(4x12) with a playoff week and a championship week. Keep in mind that we should skip week 17 altogether as there are always 4-5 teams that rest their starters.

12 weeks of regular season
2 weeks of divisional playoffs
1 week of division winners playoffs
1 RATBOWL...and maybe a consolation game for 3rd place

I will take one of the divisions. We should have 4 total division commissioners. Packrulz, Rastak and 4-12 to 12-4 have also volunteered.

Setup Yahoo like this:
Packrats1
Packrats2
Packrats3
Packrats4

I will look and see if Yahoo can do cross league playoffs in the free side.

Then we'll have to have the option of 8 eight-team divisions. The commissioner must find a way to accomodate up to 64 people. I don't think there will be that many, I bet there will be around 48, but come up with a scalable plan just in case.

8 divisions would add another week of playoffs to the equation. That would make it very tough. IMO we should pick a team limit and stick to it. We could have a vote if it came to that.

The stipulation is you need to make it work for 64 teams. We have no idea how many people are going to end up signing up. We already have 400+ posters here, we want to include as many as we can. As I said, I don't think you'll get more than 48, but it is using my best judgement that I say we set up the league in a manner in which it can support up to 64.

How about if we end up with 64 teams we just take the top team from each of the 8 divisions and setup a playoff for them on paper. That would mean weeks 15-17 are hand done playoffs. We could then use weeks 13 and 14 for the top 4 teams in each division to have a playoffs.

What we should do is startup a new signup sheet. Set a hard date for signups and decide from there. We should have each draft completed by Aug 31 as well.

Any opinions on the scoring system I have setup?

I like that idea Zool. Do you want to run the show? To sweeten the deal, i'll throw in a custom rat title!

If no one else has a burning desire to do it, then I could.

We'll start with a signup sheet. Do you want it in the Romper or in here?

August 24th will be the signup cutoff. Each division will need to have an even number of teams for scheduling. We dont neccessarily need 48 teams. If we have 46 then one division will have 10 teams instead of 12. Each division will need its own commisioner because the commish has to have a team in the division and I dont really want 4 teams. Scoring rules will obviously have to be the same across the board.

August 31st will be the draft date cutoff. With yahoo live drafts, the people that dont show up for the draft will be auto drafted. They can pick up in the middle of the draft if they are late.

Playoffs will be decided on the number of teams. After the draft we will discuss all of those options as well.

Beautiful! We have a commissioner!! Closing this thread since we've got it taken care of. I'll set-up a new announcement in both RR and here to sign up.
