We either need to drop the points/TD or change points/completion to 1 point rather than two. Also, shouldn't interceptions be worse than -1? Maybe -2 to match fumbles. If we don't make these changes I'm definately drafting QBs early and often.

I assume you're joking cause I have no idea how to set up divisions.

I'll fix the QB scoring too.

13 teams! This league is the biggest one I've ever been in. I hope we can get 7 more people to join that will be interesting.

Re: Redszone FF league?

I noticed you changed the completion points to one. That won't work; every QB will have negative points in that ratio. A guy that goes 20 for 25 will have -5 points.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if that part of scoring for QB's was taken out.

No, a QB who goes 20 for 25 will have 15 points (20 completions - 5 incompletions). It does matter to me what we do but a QB who completes more than 50% of his passes will earn points and vice versa.

Re: Redszone FF league?

Josh is right. It's 1 point per completion, and -1 for incompletions. So your example would net the QB 15 points.

If everyone wants to drop the completions, receptions and other similar qualifiers, let me know, I'm fine with it.

Re: Redszone FF league?

So what's our next step in this thing?

Oh, I see the live draft is set for Monday the 3rd at 3:00 P.M. I've never done these things before. How will that work? What if we aren't able to be around then?

If you don't think you can make it, be sure to set your pre-ranks on your "My Team" page.

Re: Redszone FF league?

Got 14 teams now. If we get many more [which is ok] I'll probably only have one starting QB per week so as to balance things better.

Re: Redszone FF league?

Two starting QB's is too many. We need one person for 16 teams. That is thinning it out pretty good. I'd like to see: Qb, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, WR/TE, K, Def.

Re: Redszone FF league?

Please, no defensive players. It just makes things too complicated. Picking one starting defense is enough.

Also, how firm is the 3:00 draft time? Earlier in the day would be preferable for me but I can make arrangements if no one else feels the same.

Agreed, individual defensive players makes my chest start to hurt. Except for the one in my avatar. Clay is a bad bad man.

I can draft anytime that day. Start classes the next,though. I say shut it off if we snag a sixteenth. Anybody have a sixteenth?
