Response to E-mail about future of this league
Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 6:52 am
Since the e-mail that went out this morning discussing the viability of this league asked for feedback I thought it would be a good idea to dedicate a thread for that discussion.
These were the options presented to us:
We have three options:
1. Make this work with our current lineups on Fanball.com 2. Say we screwed up and bag all five leagues 3. Somehow get everyone together and redraft and still use past stats
Additionally these options were presented:
A) We can adjust your required weekly starting lineup to something like 3-F, 3-G, 1-C, 5 Flex.
B) Or we can adjust your required weekly starting lineup to something like 4-F, 4-G, 1-C, 3-Flex
C) Or I'm open to any other set of starting lineup requirement that gives you more position flexibility and possibly allows you to play your best lineup each week.
My preference is for option 1 but with that option amended. I believe the easiest thing to do with this league is to simply award dual eligibility for most players. I understand some people, myself included, passed on players I would have preferred to fill a certain position. So awarding dual eligibility is not 100% fair but I think it's the easiest thing to do and in terms of real NBA play probably the most accurate. For instance Tim Duncan really does play C and F so I don't have an issue with him being both.
I'd rather do this than go with options A-C above. I thought Option B was the best but reducing it down to one required Center takes a lot of the strategy out of this game. I'd simply prefer we kept the lineup requirements intact and awarded dual eligibility.
This may not be ideal but I have to think it's better than not having the league or redrafting. In terms of redrafting I'm not so sure I'd be on board with that.
This is just my opinion but I would encourage everyone to share their opinion quickly as I would think we need to resolve this sooner rather than later.
