NFL fantasy football 2012-2013.

[Moss]

What was my rank? Cardiac Cats. I thought I went to the playoffs in that one, but I deleted my team since I wasn't playing again this year. Can't figure out a way to view it anymore.

Could be way wrong. Had a hell of a time keeping up with 234978294723 leagues.

You were the #1 seed but lost in the first round.

christ was I really third in BGP last year? that team was so bad

[desertigloo]

BGE:

League Champion
Kurp
2nd
Easy Breesy
3rd
Akiyama's Cakes
4th
desertigloo

So like, would I be promoted to BGP and only play in that league this year and be relegated back to BGW next year if I don't place high enough?

We have a lot of ppl still playing in both leagues, which is fucking it up. And I thought that was how it was supposed to work.

True, if it were to be designed after Premier League that's how it'd work. However, I think we all generally like having the same group of people in BGE / BGW / 20-man / IDP / 2QB each year. So perhaps the model we should strive for is the Champions League - Top 2/3 each year make it, as well as the top 2/3 from the previous year's Champions League. As such, maybe BG Champions is the more appropriate name.

Thus, if we have 5 feeder leagues, I'd propose the following make up for the Champions League:

Top 4 from prior Champions League
Top 3 from BGE
Top 3 from BGW
Top 2 from 20-man
Top 2 from 2-QB
Top 2 from IDP

For a total of 16 teams.

Any time there is overlap between the selections, such as if someone finished top 4 in Champions League and top 3/2 in one of the other leagues, the next team down in that league gets invited.

Since that's a lot of teams, I think a QB/WR1/WR2/RB/TE/Flex/K/DEF model might work best (rather than require three WR or 2 RB).

Comments on any part of this very rough initial proposal? Don't hold back.

[octopus]

Well, you may not have 16 teams because you have overlap in the leagues.

For example, if I'm #1 in BGE and 2-QB, does BGE's #4 get in or 2-QB's #3 gets in? Or do you just reduce the total amount of teams?

[Moss]

Just as a note, my league with HS friends is always 14-16 people and the default lineup sizes have never created any issues

[Chrius]

How about top 2 from every league, and BCS the overlaps.

half serious

[Boyiee]

BGE/BGW have been around the longest and should get priority to spots over the others ;p

Good question. Maybe flip a coin between the two leagues, the winning league gets the extra spot?

Default being 2 WR/ 2 RB? Thanks for the input, by the way - that's good to know as I was afraid 16 was too large.

[Moss]

Yeah, 2 WR, 2 RB, and a flex. Flex historically has been only WR/RB but I think WR/RB/TE is the new default, which works out even better for a deeper league.

Probably, but the losing side will probably bitch about it lol

[BarthelloSylph]

Probably, but the losing side will probably bitch about it lol

It wouldn't be fantasy football if there wasn't some bitching, lol. If there were commonalities across the leagues, then we could use a tiebreaker like total fantasy points. But that won't work with the 20-man / 2QB / IDP leagues involved. I'm open to any ideas but coin flip sounds 'fair'.

OK, I'm going to get the BG Champions League ready in a few hours, so if anyone has last second ideas, speak now.

[Cail]

need more invites besides 20man! go!

[noblemountain]

If there are any open spots in E/W or 2QB I'd like a second league. Only going to do whatever leagues I do on here this year as I did way too many last year and hated it by the end. One or two leagues would be perfect and I'm hoping to get in 20 man as it looks like quite a few aren't playing again.

[Boyiee]

Bart I think you should totally let the top 4 from BGW in BECAUSE OF HOW FUCKING GAY IT WAS THAT I ENDED UP 4th.

That's my suggestion.

[Zounder]

I talked to Rum Ham from 20 man and he is back in.

I was Birds of War in 2 QB in which I was third (With Tavaris Jackson and Mark Sanchez as my QBs, somehow), so it looks like I just miss the cutoff for premiere. If you had used that setup last year, however, I would have gotten in by winning the 20 man two years ago! Oh well.

2 QB hasn't been renewed yet, I forget who ran that league though.

I second this sentiment, lol. Was really pissed when my team broke down on week 16 and 17 :[

Definitely pulled a patriots, best record, second best offense, then ghost town come playoffs :D
