In post 49, PokerFace wrote:The only problem I have with fractional kicker is I think that kicks should always be worth at least 3. Like can we have the fractional stuff only effect kicks more than 30 yards?
Looking at the settings, I don’t think I could do this. The only options are the 10 yard ranges and the fractional scoring thing…I suppose I could combine them and, say, add 1.1 to 10-19 yard FGs so that you get at least 2.9 for a short kick, but then you’d have a discontinuity somewhere (since a 19 yarder would score more than a 20 yarder, or if you added a bonus for 20-29 then a 29 would be more than a 30).

Did some googling. I believe 17 yards is shortest field goal possible should you have nerve to kick it from inch line. With that in mind I think my earlier point is unlikely to effect the outcome of many games. So perhaps I worried too much earlier.

We still have spaces, please think more about joining if you were on the fence! 18 is a really awkward number, would love to get to 20 at least if we can.

Closing signups a week from today, probably around 5pm EDT. Get in there if you haven’t already!

If anyone in L2 (currently the bottom nine names on the list of signups) is interested in being L2 commish this year please let me know. As it stands we’ll need one person in L1 to double up so that we have an even number in L2, so let me know if anyone wants to do that as well.

You’re not gonna call me a “shit excuse for a human being” again like you did on the rules poll, right?

I was a bit miffed that I thought you were trying to exclude me but I guess you were just trolling.

FWIW we closed signups in July last year I think, so if anything I may have fucked up in holding off this long

But yeah good to have you back I guess. Any idea what SweetCrystal’s deal was?

Alright, figures. Should have draft Whenisgood and rules poll results out in about an hour.

Spoiler: Rules Poll Results
Reduce number of bench slots?
NO
wins 11 to 6

Should we institute full PPR, remain with half PPR, or return to standard scoring?
Half PPR
wins 7-4-4 (everybody that voted for another option had half PPR as their second choice, so not concerned about ranked choice shenanigans)

What is your preferred number of teams to make the playoffs in a 12-team league?
SIX
wins 13-1-1

Should we reseed the playoffs after each round?
NO
wins 8-7

Should the consolation bracket be used in determining final standings for purposes of promotion/relegation next season?
YES
wins 11-4
  • Sorry for not including this in the rules poll - my plan is to set the number of IR slots per team to
    THREE
    , but if anyone has any opinions on this between now and either league's draft let me know.
  • League rosters are listed in the second post. I will be sending out the Whenisgoods for L1 and L2 by PM in a few minutes. L2 is still looking for a commish, let me know if you're interested.
  • Kilga had L1 commish powers when the league got auto-renewed, so once we talk through what we're going to do, the league invite will be sent to new teams in L1. Same thing with L2 once I figure out what the deal is there, not sure what's happening with that league.
  • My plan is to randomize draft orders just by doing a bunch of forum dice rolls some time this weekend, will give a bit of advance notice if anyone wants to spectate.

Should have joined in time…had 6pm in the OP for almost a month…

And I know you were paying attention given that both you and sweetcrystal made it clear you were paying attention…

Lmao. I didn't see a time, I saw a day and I made it clear in PM my /in depended on whether Nero could play. But if you're that set on keeping me out of this over being 50 min past your time so be it

I feel like a tentative /in that was said before the deadline should count. Even if it doesn’t for whatever reason I feel like there should be a small grace period. It’s not like he was more than a day late.
