so, just to be clear...am I "Patrick" in that list or is it the other Patrick?

I had replied to your leauge-wide email through my yahoo mail saying I was interested if that helps, I had assumed I was involved, but I know there is another Patrick.

No---that's you on the list. I didn't know what your screen name was----fixed.

time is good, any day is good

Monday night isn't great for me... other than that, I should be good to go.

OK. Tues, Wed, and Thurs are good for 5 of us thus far.

We need the remaining 7 of you to respond. Let's get this nailed down.

Any of those nights are fine for me.

I'm annoyed that I missed out on this. Because, I really need to give away more CDs.

Any of those nights work for me.

I'm usually in these things.. sorry I missed it, grumble grumble

If you're interested, you and mutty should be prepared to draft a team as alternates, as I wouldn't be surprised if at least 1 or 2 of these folks don't show for the draft.

We haven't even heard back from 6 of them on what days they're available.

I would be willing to give up my spot for one of you guys.

Same for me.

Wednesday or Thursday.

OK. We'll draft on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. EST in Chatzy.

Here, again, is the scoring:

Reception Touchdowns 6
2-Point Conversions 2

Kickers

Defense/Special Teams
Sack 1

Fumble Recovery 2

Safety 2
Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns 6

Points Allowed 14-20 points 1
Points Allowed 21-27 points 0
Points Allowed 28-34 points -1
Points Allowed 35+ points -4

For those that played in the Obner league this year please notice a few slight changes:

Passing TDs are 3 (not 4) points
Passing yds are 1 pt per 20 (not 25) yards
Receptions 1 (not 0.5) pt
No points (+ or -) for interceptions, fumbles lost, missed FG/PATs or blocked kicks

The passing point changes should just about even out making QBs the same relative value as our regular season league. Obviously, WR's are slightly more valued with a full 1pt per reception--I did this because I'm not doing decimals for this league. On that note, remember that yardage points will be rounded off in this fashion: 70-79 yards rushing/receiving = 7pt, 80-89 yards = 8 pts., etc. 200 yd passing = 10pt, 201-239 yds passing = 11 pt, 240-259 yd passing = 12 pt., etc.

I made these changes for two reasons--a) I'm hand scoring this so I wanted to make it easier for myself. b) I'm running 2 of these playoff leagues and I wanted to make the scoring systems the same so I don't have to add the scores up twice.

After the draft there are no roster moves, no trades, no waiver transactions. You start your drafted lineup throughout the playoffs through the Super Bowl. There are no head-to-head matchups, just a running point total---most total points wins, with the 11 losers owing a CD to the winner. As teams are knocked out of the playoffs, you lose those players from your roster. In case of a tie, the team with the single highest scoring player is the winner, if that is also tied, the 2nd highest scoring player, etc.

I will generate a draft order soon and post it in this thread. It will be a typical serpentine style draft.

We will each draft: 1 QB (team QB), 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST. Since there are no waiver pickups, a team QB allows you to generate points from whoever plays QB for that team throughout the playoffs if the starter is injured/out. With regard to the required 2 RBs, I figure there are enough teams that play 2 (even 3) RBs over the course of the game that we should be able to fill that requirement.

I think that covers it. I probably forgot something so please let me know what I left out.

I think having defenses is a bad idea.

Why?

We had a starting defense all season.

Playoff defenses is not as easy to do. Especially since people like to swap defenses based on the matchup. I'd rather keep this simple and offense only. But that's just my two cents.
