Full Version: Looking to start a Local Redraft Fantasy League...

I live in New Jersey and was looking to see if there's some local guys willing to start a simple redraft league and one that we could possibly do a LIVE draft at a central location. Guys from NY and Philly also welcome.

Here's some of the league info...

** Dates- These are the dates that we'll most likely have to work with, (all in Aug) and on Sat. night or Sun.- 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 or 31. If we had to we could do the 9th or 10th but I'd rather wait til later.

**Location for the Live Draft- My first thought is possibly Hoboken, NJ as it would sort of be a happy medium for PA and NY owners. If need be we could move it.

Just to be a bit more specific in terms of rules, scoring, etc. Again this is a redraft league.

**Standard scoring with PPR- 1pt- 10 yards rush/rec, 20 yards pass, 6 pts- rush/rec tds, 4 pts- pass tds, 1PPR, kicking pts standard as are 2 pt. conversions. Team defense would be pretty standard as well- something like 2pts-int, 1pt-sacks/fumble rec, 6pts-tds. Not sure if I'd do a point system for how few points defenses give up.

**Rosters- 16-18 rounds (we'll decide) starting 1QB, 2-3RBs, 2-3WRs, 1TE, 1K and 1 D.

**A blind bidding system will be used as I believe it's the fairest system. All owners would start with a certain amount (ex. $100) that would be used on only players that are bid on during the BB period. Once that money is gone, owners can only pick up players during FCFS. Blind bids would start on Sunday at 1PM and the bidding period would end on Wed. night at 9PM and players would be assigned to the highest bidders. FCFS would then begin at 9PM on Wed and last until Sunday at 1PM.

**All transactions will be free unless a majority of owners felt differently. All trades would be processed unless collusion could be proven.

** Schedule- 14 Regular season weeks. Playoffs begin in Week 15- Seeds 1 and 4 play and 2 plays 3. Week 16 is the Championship game (for the winners) and game for third place (for the losers). Three places will be paid out.

** Entry Fee- Some of you have mentioned going with a slightly higher Entry Fee which would be fine by me. I mentioned $25 in the first post but would be fine if we bumped it up to say $40-50.

Everything I mentioned here and more is open for discussion and league vote if the majority feels strongly enough that change or modification is needed.

Thoughts...

what's another league. banghead.gif
it all depends on the draft date and type of league.
it might have to be a weeknight since my weekends are booked (and what's not booked, it might mean a divorce if I book something that day).

I'm in central jersey. right where 287 meets 78. (and routes 22, 202, 206, 28)

Draft date and location would have to be set once we got all the owners in. I'm in central Jersey as well-Middlesex County Exit 12 on the Turnpike. I work in Edison and live in Port Reading.

icon_lol.gif It can be a rough place! But in the meantime, I need to form fantasy leagues to keep my mind off the situation.
