Teralis Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Have never got into it, mainly due to time and not understanding how to play. Dont know anyone who plays to explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'll play as long as none of you bastards are trying to take my money! It's mine! It's pretty simple, T. Even I can play it with my basic understanding. Someone forms a group. Players for each position get drafted out. You can have several players from different teams. Before the weekend starts, you choose which players to play at each position. Usually you get a 3 string depth, I think. You also choose a team for offense, defense, and maybe special teams. Been a while since I participated in this. After the weekend, your players, offense, and defense are awarded points based on the performance of the actual players and offenses/defenses as they performed in actual games. These points determine who is leading in the Fantasy League. Did I get that right, Grim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_Reefer Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Very easy to play. Valek's explanation is pretty good. (this is all done over yahoo, if you don't know who to draft, look at a 2011 fantasy cheat sheet online) Here is a grim guide to fantasy football: We pretend that everyone is a football franchise owner. Valek owns the Rev's, I own the Dopesmokers, You own the Teralis Terrorists. The postions on each team are QB, WR, RB, TE, K, and DEF. (Quarterback, wide reciever, running back, tight end, kicker, and defense) We draw numbers from a hat (or random.com) to get a draft order, and then we proceed to draft our teams. There are 15 slots to draft. With that many slots, that means there will be players on your bench and your starters. Most leagues run 1 qb, 2 rbs, 3 wr, 1 te, a kicker, and a defense. Draft whomever you like to complete your team. Yay! You have your team! Each week someones team goes up against someone elses team. Your team scores points based on how well your individual players do in a real life game. For wide recievers, every 20 yards = 1 point, every touchdown = 6 points. For quarterbacks, every 20 yards they throw = 1 point, every touchdown they throw = 6 points. For Running backs, every 10 yards they gain = 1 point, every touchdown = 6 points. For Tight ends see reciever. For Kickers, every field goal = 3 points, every extra point = 1 point. Defense works on a sliding scale usually starting at 20 and goes down for points that they allow. All points and rules are set by the commissioner, but I'm looking to run a simple scoring system. Your team has a schedule. Like week 1 I play Valek, week 2 I play Teralis, week 3 I play Anume (even though she probably knows dick about american football), week 4 etc... This happens until week 14 when the playoffs start, the 8 best teams play down to 4, week 15 those 4 teams play down to 2, week 16 is the fantasy super bowl and to the victors go the spoils. (which is money in most leagues, but this one will be just for fun). The drafting takes place online over yahoo at a predetermined time that has been agreed upon by all fantasy owners.

Imoutgoodbye Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Oh, and I'm in for it, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 That's a god awful scoring system... you don't have anything for QB rushing or any penalty for negative plays (be that negative yardage, fumbles, ints). Almost EVERY league worth even being aware of has a flex position, as well as including special teams plays for the defensive unit. RBs need credit for receiving yards. FG points for kickers are actually based on the distance of the FG, 30 and under being 3 points, 31-40 being 4, 40+ being 5. Get the scoring tightened up, pick a draft method (be that auction, straight rotation or front to back rotation), decide on the number of bench slots, trades a week, when the trade deadline is, playoffs and I MIGHT be interested... but it would be roughly the 8th team in my priority list.

Grim_Reefer Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was giving an example of what the concept of the game is, KRins, calm down. Of course there is negative **** for negative plays, qb rush, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I take it seriously... I'm in 4 keeper leagues and 3 regular leagues for a grand total of $350. Sorry if I came across as uber bitter, I am just used to discussing it with a gang of tryhards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Pffft...this is an FL fantasy football league. We're not letting Mindflayer join. He's become too womanly for such things. Plus, his team would find a way to PK everyone elses. OP bull****.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_Reefer Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I got a bit more than that wrapped up, KRins, so don't jump on my thread with your chest puffed out like you own the place. Lets get this FL league up and running so I can show you a thing or two about picking winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
