Draft too early and the team has issues. Wait to draft and you won't get the volume. It's a new contest, why not a new concept ? FAAB but only 3 times during the season ? After week 1, midseason, and before last game ? Make all players dropped ineligible to be bid on. Its' a way to straddle the line between another DC-type concept and another workmanlike faab league.
Okay, I think Steve has helped push us all in the right way as far as managing FAAB in these leagues. I'm working on the rules now to present anew, but help is still needed on FAAB deadlines.
If we do only 3 FAAB periods per season in this format, should we set them before:
a) Week 2 (no NFFC leagues have FAAB before Week 1), Week 7 and Week 12?
b) Or Week 2, Week 6, Week 10?
c) Week 2, Week 6, Week 11?
d) Other Choices?
Do we really need to make all dropped players ineligible? With 4 or 5 weeks inbetween cuts, I don't see the need for this part (sorry Steve). Or am I wrong? Is that important? I understand the reasoning, but I'm not sure it helps the contest. It seems like all owners would have plenty of time to see the new free agent pool and to sort in many ways to find help for their teams. Feedback here is welcome.
I think one price at $125 per team is the way we're going with a $250 top league prize.
Am I missing anything else that needs fine-tuning? Thanks for all the help guys. If we're almost there, then we'll get IT to tweak these rules changes. We feel like we're close here.
