we have 10!
arty
the yahoo default is 10 teams, but i changed it to 14: there are some people that expressed interest but haven't committed yet, also figured there might be a couple that haven't seen then thread yet. didn't want to add too many teams because then the talent pool gets diluted, but 14 should be o.k..
i also changed some of the default scoring so there are more points for good defense, more points available to qbs and negative scoring for missing easy field goals and extra points. also, there are bonus points for big yardage games at qb, rb and wr. didn't change anything too radically, just tinkered a little. i always thought the yahoo scoring overvalued running backs and undervalued defense and qbs. anyway, i can change all of this up until the season starts, if you guys want to stick to the default or add more points, more scoring categories, fractional points, etc.
also, once we're full we should agree on a draft day and time. it sucks when people don't show up for the draft. also, i thought we should hold it close to the start of the season to minimize the impact of preseason injuries and guys losing their starting jobs in training camp.
i was just looking at the settings. we can have the playoffs during weeks (15, 16 & 17) with either 6 or 8 teams: 6= top 2 teams get a bye week one of the playoffs, 8= no byes. giving the top 2 a bye week seems a little fairer (reward for having a good season). but anyway, we can change anything up until the draft and some things up until the season starts.
this is shaping up pretty good, fans of lots of different teams (and even zee germans
) have signed up :cool
