pre draft survivor league
yes each league has its own champ
ya i dont remember the details after week 13 but teams keep getting the boot based on lowest score that week
thats the jist of it
A funny competition and all....preparing and drafting before bye weeks are announced in a survivor format.Take, for example, the FBG's contest, where you lock in your lineup and do so relative to season start. A big part of that is balancing the points siting idle each week. In fact, if you don't choose your team according to the bye week bias, you are doomed to medicrocracy there.
Same considerations here.....but it's random bye week as you draft your team. If a ton of guys sit the pine in any given week, you are toast.
Any use discussing alternative formats....that keep everybodies interest untill you cut back at week #14 and begin the finals?
The way it's being done is a contest of Luck....not one of Skill.
Hasn't anybody ever questioned the random nature of the competition?
I mean, how may years have you guys been doing this?
It would be relatively easy to change it up slightly and have a skill based deal....and isn't that the goal of doing this?
1) "im all ears on your suggestions but this is 2)
free and a fun way to kill time during the offseason
3) also enourages player discussion im not even going to get into the fact that
4) luck plays a huge part in fantasy no matter how much skill you have. granted theres
5) more luck involved in this format"
1) I'd be happy to supply an alternate for consideration if there's an honest consideration of change. Most times, the proposal get's lost....as in it has to go to the right person/party to be considered. Who is that party?.
3) ....true, it does foster discussions based on what the state of the art is. To have a draft that ends weeks before the Rookie Draft starts also means that not only are the bye weeks unknown but the Rookies team affiliations are unknown.....again, an exercise in unknown situation and basically more of the same.....
4) & 5) luck.
There is a mention that the purpose of these exercises is to get a handle on ADP. If that's the purpose, allow the Rookie Draft to end and install TE's at one point per reception.
If the purpose is free and for fun then don't worry about the results and who drafts where because this competition is not a competition and is not skill based. If you want to have a (more) skilled competition, you can do so with minor alterations.
You can remove the bye week bias by changing the format. You can never remove the Rookie consideration....unless you wait to draft until after the Rookie Draft ends.
Funny, I always thought that some guys were better at this than others and that, if there was a way to figure results based on that premise....that it was worth doing.
Translation: it would be nice to have fun, and a competition, rather than just a result-less waste of time. I mean you guys are a barrell of laughs and all but if you're better at this after playing for five years there must be a reason.....other than just plain good old luck.
P.S.: What does PDSL stand for?
