    Is that from last season do we know or has it already updated to take account of the extra game week? I can't remember if our Superbowl week was week 17 normally or week 16.

    Hi fellow Div6ers

    Totally clueless how this works.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of how to pick team (draft) and what website is it based from please?

    Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    It is on NFL.com, once we know how many players we have for division 6 I'll need someone to act as GM to create the league, send out invites and organise a draft date and time.

    The screenshots in the charter are out of date. A flex (RB/WR/TE) was added after user rule change discussion and vote for the 2018 season. - https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2057867781/please-vote-on-rule-changes-for-2018/p4

    There are also points for offence player recovering a fumble for a TD. All the boards leagues use the same rules if you just want to copy the rules from my previous post.

    Thanks, can you create the league with the settings posted above and send an invite to everyone in the league?

    You will also need to agree a draft date. I use doodle poll to have people vote on it.

    Hi John,

    Works for me, but I'll send out a poll to make it easier for everyone, just waiting for everyone to accept the invite. There is a boards division 6 league thread, to post in so we don't clog this thread up, should be near the top as I posted in it yesterday.

    There's a waiver period of a few days, 2 or 3 I think, you put a claim in for who you want, whoever has the highest claim in the order gets the player.

    After the waiver period there is a few days usually where you can just pick up players without making a claim.

    One players play in a game they go back through waivers.

    Another option would be to try and trade players so offer one of your QB's to another team that didn't get a QB and try and get one of their players in return,

    Any chance of changing the "Waiver Type" settings for next season?

    In my opinion, "Resets to Inverse Standings Order" is much more fair than "Move to Last after Claim, Never Reset". It is very difficult to improve your team with a low waiver priority than never changes from week-to-week.

    Division 3 was (accidentally I presume) set to NFL.com default of Inverse and is a huge improvement over last year. I started poorly in both years but have actually managed to put together a reasonable team this year compared to being stuck all last year til a couple of players came back from injury. Inverse order or FAAB should be the default going forward but these suggestions were ignored during last rules review for some reason.

    Ignored? Please elaborate, all rule changes need to go to a vote and secure a majority before being implemented.

    The last time rule changes were voted on (August 2020) there was no suggestion for changing the waiver order from what I remember. We voted on 4 rule changes:

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/114246518/#Comment_114246518

    We last voted on this in 2018, when the results were as follows:

    Move to Free agent Budget - 12.68%

    Move to bottom of the list after you pick - 59.15%

    Order should reset every week - 28.17%

    Feel free to create a thread in the off season with suggested changes and we can vote again if there is enough support.

    There are multiple posts suggesting the waiver change in the August 2020 thread (#16 followed by several other posts including my own #26) but these were not included in the final poll, perhaps due to the recency of the 2018 poll you reference.
