Boards Dynasty League

UCD AFC

Everybody has joined, thanks for quick responses.

BigBadRob83

Was just having a quick look at the league settings, and was wondering about a couple of things:

-Don't see the defensive flex player on the starter list
-Doesn't look there is any points for tackles or sacks for defensive players. Presume this is a mistake?
-Free agent system still set as waivers
-Draft order currently 'Manually Set by League Manager' so will we know this in advance of the draft or will this be changed to randomise just before draft?

Looking forward to the draft and kicking off this dynasty league!

UCD AFC

I haven't looked at scoring yet all just default - was gonna look around to see what is the common scoring for these leagues. As for the draft all I have done with that was make sure it didn't start without us :P yeah it'll be random.


I'll put the D Flex on now & change the waivers.

edit: Just so everyone is aware the D Flex is called Defensive Player Utility (DP)

And, another question, are people happy with bids of 0 in the waivers which means if you bid 0 and nobody else bids the players is yours?

BigBadRob83

Thanks UCD

Found an ESPN article that mentions standard scoring in an IDP league, though as these leagues are so few at the moment there is no real 'standard' yet
http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?page=nfldk2k12idpstrategy

Solo tackle (1)
Assisted tackle (0.5)
Sack (3)
Interception (3)
Forced Fumble (3)
Fumble Recovery (3)
Touchdown (6)
Safety (2)
Pass Defensed (1)
Blocked Kick (3)

Happy with that

I like the scoring list for the IDP that BigBadRob has posted with one exception. I dont think a sack should be same value as a turnover so maybe 2pts for a sack would be more appropriate.

Happy with the waiver system

I would like to see rosters incresed to 35, gives us more flexibility. You can keep the keeper number at 30 which allows the remaining 5 to be filled by a 5 round rookie draft each year.

Yeah that makes good sense

Don't know if there's a need to make rosters that big, 15 starters and 15 bench is fine for me.

Good point on the keepers, can't have a full roster before the draft so will have to have a certain amount of open roster spots before the draft

UCD AFC

Would like to hear more feedback on the roster size, will change the scoring to the above in the morning

BigBadRob83

Has the scoring been updated UCD?

Also, probably a good idea for everyone to put post their team name so we all know who is who for trade talk, banter etc.

My team: New Ireland Patriots

JaMarcus Hustle

Dunluce Demons (as always)

Spongey1975

Bear Down is me

Any idea on when we draft? 30 rounds by 12 should only take 2 hours or so but i reckon it would be important for majority to be online given its dynasty

Can do up a doodle poll for the next month or so?
To see if there's an evening that the majority of us could make.

Earlier we organise it the more likely people will be to save the day and can get maximum participation in the draft

adrian522

4thandforever is my team name...

UnitedIrishman

Marshall Mavericks for me.

UCD AFC

I'm UCD Franchise, should be easy to remember

Yeah just did it there, and if you're cool with doing the doodle poll, fire away that would be much appreciated. Still haven't got a definitive roster size though, would like to hear more feedback on this

BigBadRob83

Three options for each day between now and Opening Day:
-Yes
-(Yes)? - if needed
-No

Fill out the poll with your boards username and availability, then we will pick the day that has the most possible people available.

Filled it out there, basic synopsis: Midweek = Good, Weekend = Bad. I'd be available most evenings.

From memory of previous drafts the most common times were midweek nights around 9 o'clock.

I'd be the same as this, weekday evenings are best for me but as long as i have decent notice i can do pretty much any day

UCD AFC

Thanks Rob, filled out my days (I'm same as others I could probably do a weekend day with some notice) also put in the sack scoring you mentioned.

Masked Man

Bedrock Boulders. Just filled in the pole.

UnitedIrishman

Finished the poll there, basically any time after 9.45pm Mon-Fri is definitely fine but most days after 7pm is fine. Saturday is probably a no go. and Sunday after 6pm is grand any time.

BigBadRob83

9 people filled in poll so far.
Still waiting on: mayordenis, barbarians, eagle eye

Still haven't seen team names from: mayordenis, barbarians, eagle eye, CoachTO

CoachTO = Lomira Lions Slinger Owls
eagle eye = Foxboro Legends

Don't know what teams mayordenis or barbarians are.

BigBadRob83

Draft order is up on ESPN.

1. UCD Franchise - UCD AFC.
2. Dunluce Demons - JaMarcus Hustle
3. Lomira Lions / Slinger Owls - CoachTO
4. Foxboro Legends - eagle eye
5. Bedrock Boulders - Masked_man
6. Marshall Mavericks - UnitedIrishman
7. Oh Look An Eagle - Mr. Guappa
8. Bear Down - Spongey1975
9. Baa Baas - barbarians
10. Footballox Footballox - mayordenis
11. team 4thandforever -adrian522
12. New Ireland Patriots - BigBadRob83

Hate picking at the end of a round. The double picks are a pain with 22 picks until next one will end up with a few reaches I'd say.

I hope thats not the Draft order even though im in 3rd spot:

Draft Settings
Draft Type:SnakeDraft DateNot Set
Seconds Per Pick: 90
Draft Order: Manually Set by League Manager
Allow Draft Pick Trading: Yes

It should be Randomised by the CPU.

UCD AFC

It will be random, that is just order people joined - don't worry.

UCD AFC

Just looking at the poll there, all 9 of us done it so far are good for Monday the 27th, hopefully the other 3 lads are cool with that date

BigBadRob83

PM'd the guys who haven't filled in the poll so hopefully will know soon enough.
Would be great if we could get all 12 guys together for it, especially as it's Dynasty and so deep (those pre-draft rankings can only go so far).

BigBadRob83

Results of the poll are in, all 12 of us have completed

Draft Day: Monday 27th August

Only day that all 12 are available

CoachTO

What time is the draft going to be? I wont be around until after 8 that night.

I doubt there'd be much hassle leaving it until 9/9:30pm. I'm fine with it anyway.

Im fine with 9pm too

BigBadRob83

Yeah 9pm good for me too

UCD AFC

I'd be fine with 9, but how long will this draft go on for? I'd assume it will be much longer than a regular draft

Twice as long so i reckon about 2 hours

UnitedIrishman

I'm good with that time.

Quick question - is it a standard bench size or how many will there be?

UCD AFC

JaMarcus Hustle wrote: »

Right now it is 15 starters and 15 bench, however some people suggested extra 5 men on the bench, and then keep 30 players. This would mean you drop 5 end of every year to make room for the rookie draft (i say rookie draft, it will also have anyone who wasn't kept by their teams or selected initially)

Mentioned this when it was brought up before, I'm pretty happy with 30 as the roster size.
Would be fine with 25 keepers and having to throwback 5 guys into the rookie/available draft.
Even at that lower number you're still keeping all 15 starters and 10 backups, seems plenty to me.
If rosters go up to 35 then I could see there being little or no turnover on the roster, and personally I prefer having to make decisions on those marginal guys like that one or the other rather than just sitting on them, adds a little more activity to the league.

UCD AFC

Yeah I would agree with that. It will be nice to have some waiver activity.

Set the draft date and order will be randomized one hour before draft (16:00 ET is correct right?)

JaMarcus Hustle

Oh that's fine so, I dont mind - I was thinking for a minute there was only around 5 bench spots, don't mind me!

Guffy

Hi guys really wana get into a dynasty league so gona start one altogether. Only problem is I don't really have time to research the rules I should put in.

Should scrape home for most of the college one will have a family member boot up the laptop so its on when i get in the door I originally hoped to be home by 9 and no dice. Going to see if the ESPN app is any better than the NFL one at doing drafts. If it is I might get in on the draft.
