Alright guys, here is a new thread for the CP $100 Fantasy Football League. The settings are listed below.
Buy-In will be $100 and will be due 1 week before the draft. Please get your payments in earlier than that though, so we can have the draft order generated. I will not have draft order generated before everyone has paid. We will be using Paypal for payments. I have sent payment instructions out to everyone, so please start getting this paid. If you need the instructions again, please let me know.
As soon as everyone has paid, we will have a draft order generated by using a random order generator online (we used one of these last year, and it worked great). Everyone's emails are entered into the system, and everyone receives the email with the draft order direct from the website, so it is fair to everyone.
I will allow the trading of draft picks as well, and ESPN is set up for such.
Now, please send me some entry fees, and let's get this going.

And, this isn't a standard ESPN setting, this is how I set it up because I prefer 2 week playoffs.
I think I'm the only one "mentioning" it. Other's are basically saying the same thing.
ESPN introduced it. That's why I brought up ESPN. It may not be default but for the last 3 years I've been in an ESPN league like that and playoffs aren't exciting at all when the format is like that. There's nothing like winning and advancing. Not, win and see if you can keep the lead against the same team next week. [Reply]

I'm not sure where you see that others are basically saying the same thing, but we can have a vote when the league fills if you would like that will address playoff structure and also payouts.
I can see from your responses, that you must not have lost a matchup in the playoffs when you clearly had the better team and had one guy on the other team come out of nowhere and beat you in the playoffs. [Reply]
Put me down for a 4 team 2 week single elimination playoff. The winners advance and the losers play for 3rd place. I also still vote for only paying out 1-3, no highest scoring team over the yeaer crap. Going with 4 places spreads the winners dough to thin. Besides the 4th team lost it's last 2 games and has nothing to complain about. [Reply]

Actually, I was the guy that squeaked in the playoffs last year and totally kicked ass to take the $ (LAST SEED). But if I lost I'd be ok with that too.
I'm the studier at the end of the season that does due diligence and get the most out of the Pierre Garcon's that'll play for Reggie Wayne, etc. I felt like I was highly rewarded. So it wasn't really a fluke I kicked ass since my competitive detective skills took over at the end of the season. [Reply]

I'll definitely agree to not paying 4th. I would argue that we should look at payouts something like this:

We'll have to agree to disagree.
Nowhere in there did I see 6 week playoffs. So I'm to assume that it means get rid of the 2 week playoff thing which doesn't make sense to begin with. Only reason we're having this discussion is because of ESPN's format.
I don't want to be the THAT GUY either so lets just vote on the playoff system and payout when the time comes. It's cool. [Reply]

I don't want to confuse anyone, but the bolded part isn't true. ESPN's standard league has 1 week playoffs. We can do that if people want. I changed it to 2 weeks/matchup in the playoffs because I think it is a more fair way to do it. [Reply]

Only place I've seen that is through ESPN's ffl format. I may be ignorant to the fact but it's widely done that way through ESPN. Don't know if you have the option on other sites free leagues. You may have changed it but I don't know if any other place(s) even have the option to do so. [Reply]

It is an option in Yahoo, CBS, etc. It is a manually changed setting, just like in ESPN. The default setting in ESPN is 1 week playoff matchups.
As I said earlier, I'm OK with either way, I just think 2 weeks gives you a better idea of who the better team really is. It does take some of the "excitement" out though, I'll give you that. [Reply]
