With the scoring changes last year things spread out more (i.e. it wasn't as close, but it's going to be hard for anything to be as close as the first year was), but it still ended up with the matter of a whole bunch of teams that were good for most of the season going completely to shit at the end because any lost player was pretty much entirely irreplaceable.

Only things I could come up were slight increases to return yards and possibly receiving yards since the only thing that's ever close to "deep" in that league is return guys and 4th 5th 6th WR's.

Not trying to be facetitious here, but isn't that going to be a symptom of just about any league which involves 20 players?

**Plow** · 2011-06-29 10:15

Oddly enough it wasn't as much of an issue the first year with 20 players as the second with 18.

The second was more TD focused though, so picking up guys that might get 40-50 yards or have a couple hundred return yards became less useful.

I'm probably always going to be a tiny bit jaded with this league cuz of the first season where like 15 out of 20 teams were within 1 game of .500 and the playoffs were intense.

**Valisk** · 2011-06-29 11:29

I'm down to play in any and every league available.

**Zeb** · 2011-06-29 11:37

18 man had a shitty division last year. Akiyama's Cakes = Seahawks. If it goes back to 20 man, we need to drop that extra WR/RB/TE position also.

**Tyche** · 2011-06-29 11:44

renewed the BG money league, OP updated with password. If existing owners have trouble getting in, contact me. If anyone else needs me to update the OP with any information, let me know.

Demosthenes11 · 2011-06-29 11:52

any room in money mr tyche?

**Tyche** · 2011-06-29 12:01

Not until I confirm a previous owner will not be joining. Last year's crew get dibs.

Also, I think I'm going to try to post the scoring settings for all the BG leagues in a spoiler tag under that leagues heading. So if anyone has reg'd a league, you can PM me the settings and shit, and I'll try to keep everything nicely formatted.

I was Beginner's Luck (first time doing BG fantasy '-')

And yes, I'll be game again this year.

I cant believe I almost won that division lol. I figured that last part would make it way better/less frustrating as far as depth goes. Idk. Pros & cons to getting rid of that flex spot.

Hey, fuck you. I couldn't help the division I was in and how awful my team was yet I won the division. It was the power of cake that pushed me through.

Will do BGP and BGW again!

Funny, the Seahawks won their playoff game on the strength of Marshawn Lynch eating cake, too.

Random side college football note, since this appears to be the only active football thread: Methinks the Oregon Ducks are in deep shit. I'm surprisingly unexcited about this news; as much pleasure as I get when they lose a game, I don't root for any team to get sanctioned, and apparently this extends to the Ducks as well.

Demosthenes11 · 2011-07-01 16:25

fuck the ducks. fuck them hard. I hope they are removed from the NCAA forever.

fuck chip kelly and his madden play calling too

Schedule LSU for opener, get raped by NCAA

**AzazaelFenrir** · 2011-07-29 09:23

I will renew BGWest later today and reinvite every one who was in it last year. After 1 week I will see what is open for slots. I will also get Tyche the info so he can do the invites for BGP and spoiler the settings and shit.

**octopus** · 2011-07-29 09:30

Nice! Thanks man

**AzazaelFenrir** · 2011-07-29 10:01

Standings - I don't have my list as to who the managers were, so I am going to ask people as they sign up to tell me.

**recuperi** · 2011-07-29 10:14

Oh, I'd given the standings to Tyr a while ago in PM, but if Tyche's gonna be the one doing invites that doesn't do much good lol.
