Hey guy's, I really appreciate you all joining up & look forward to a competitive & fun fantasy football season!

Lets get things going with discussing our individual entry prize's, if you have a scan or can create a scan of your designated item that holds a $45-$50 SV (Sell Value) and place it in this thread so we can decide as a group to accept or maybe suggest finding something else, than we'll be able to get those sent in! For the most part, if the item sells on Ebay for $45-$50 then your item is accepted, we're not looking for item's that everyone must like; we're just doing it this way to make sure that what is sent in is of equal SV as everyone else's (as we need to somewhat come to a group agreement on each person's item so it is a fair entry). I'll repeat myself so we're all on the same page: we're not going to judge other's item's here, we're strictly going through this process to make sure everyone's prize is of equal value...(if something doesn't have a current SV on Ebay, we're a pretty informed group of collector's & can figure out what it's worth).

Here are some other things that we need to look at & discuss (or if need be, take a vote on) to get ironed out before the draft:

1. Scoring Format- I currently have the league scoring format set up to award bonuses for certain achievement's (you can see these in our Yahoo league under "Scoring & Settings").

Here is the Passing Yards setup: 25 yards per point; 2 points at 300 yards; 3 points at 350 yards; 4 points at 400 yards.

Ex. So if a QB throws 325 yds, he will have the initial 25 yds per point=14pts + the 2pt bonus for reaching 300 yds; so thier total=16pts before TD's,INT's, & Fumbles.

The bonus ONLY comes into play if the QB reaches 300 yards, as this rewards your player's for reaching stat's that aren't an every-week occurrence & the higher the achievement the more the bonus points...These bonus points are used to reward a player who might not score alot of TD's but puts up extraordinary yardage (but the bonus's are not a crazy amount that will single-handedly determine your weekly matchup)

Question:Do you guy's want to keep the achievement bonuses or do you want me to take them out?

2. Draft date & Time: We need to come up with an agreeable date & time for our live draft to be held as the time/date that I have set for our league was made to get the league registered & is not the actual draft time (it will definitely be changed).

So please give me suggestion's here in this thread as to when would be a good date/time to draft (we will have to most likely compromise people, as I don't expect all of our schedules to match...but you never know, we may come up with the perfect date/time that we can all agree on? :lol: ).



Well I've typed ALOT for now, just post your response's suggestion's & we'll see everything through in a prompt fashion to get this draft scheduled & completed! Also please post your scan's of your entry item's & as long as you meet the requirement everything will be fine & dandy! I'm not against anyone of you offerring up more, as I will definitely be doing so! (I'll be posting mine tommorrow-Tuesday 25th) :D

Thanks again everyone & I apologize for the long read but this stuff has to be taken care of & completed BEFORE the draft (just imagine having to write all of this junk)! :lol:
Later all, Dave. :D

so is this a league that is all ready full? Or are you trying to kid people into signing up for this thing?

my item will be a Ryan Zimmerman Bowman draft chrome rc auto.



I think the idea of having bonuses for achievements is not a good one. You're already getting extra points for reaching a certain plateau -- why would it be worth even more on top of that? Plus, since there are IDPs in the league, would there be 10-tackle bonuses, etc?

It would make sense, except that the sign up thread was started on the baseball boards, and it was decided over there that baseball prizes would be accepted.

I won't make the live draft. My prerankings have been set based on the roster positions, and scoring. If for any reason you change the settings, please PM me, or I will get my ******* in a bunch. I'll go out and say it, the scoring is not typical, and my draft will likely follow an atypical pattern based on my preranked list.

If a few settings were changed, my entire strategy would change, so please PM me if anything changes.

Hey bud, I initially created the league expecting for it to be FB card's only "until" I couldn't find enough member's with football cards who wanted to join the league. So I figured that sell value is sell value regardless of sport (if anyone who wins doesn't collect baseball then they can just as easily sell/trade the baseball item's & use the $$ to buy the FB cards that they prefer...or whatever they prefer to spend the $$ on as it will be thier's to do with as they choose if they go this route). :D This is why I am requiring that our prize's be "sell value" & not Beckett value, as many times (if not EVERY time :? ) the Beckett value is far from what you can get if you sell the item...& we need everyone's entry prize to be as close as possible to equal, that way no one feels shafted or that they've put in too much or that another member is putting in too little, etc. (it basically needs to be an even playing field across the board...unless a member feels that they want to add more to the pot to create even bigger stakes, which would lead to a more competitive & fun league; or to make it to where more member's will get some sort of prize- which is why I'm adding quite a bit more than is asked from the entry prize price level! ;) :D ).

Thanks & please EVERYONE who's currently in the league, please post here & let us know your opinion's on the decision's that need to be made, as well as your opinion on the draft time (is the new draft date/time of next Sat going to be good for you?).

We also need EVERYONE to get a scan of your entry prize posted here in this thread so that we can determine if it is going to be up to par (the correct SV) or if maybe you should pick something else for your entry prize.

For those of you who do not realize, the FIRST DAY OF REGULAR SEASON IS THURSDAY, SEPT. 10TH so we need to get all of the league prize's sent in & I must receive them before we can move on to our live draft. This means that our time is slim & we have next to zero room for error or delay! Due to this, I am going to have to remove any member's that do not respond with thier entry prize (& a scan) here within the next 2-3 day's; in which I already have a list of alternate member's from FCB that contacted me requesting to be included in this league (since the the league was already full I informed them they would be alternate's for this exact reason). Though I would HATE to have to remove anyone of you (as you are all GREAT member's of the FCB community), I may have to do so to ensure that this league will be able to progress as planned. PLEASE respond so that we can get this league rolling & functional, & so that we can move forward with the original group of member's intact! I look forward to this season and the hardcore competition that you all will provide for our fantasy football league!!!!
Thanks everyone & have a GREAT Sunday evening/night!
Your commish, Dave. :D

Is anyone up for changing the draft day to Monday the 7th?

That sat. the 5th is the wife's bday and we'll be in Las Vegas. I wont be returning till sunday late night... so that draft day (sat.) isnt gonna work for me.
If you have to replace me, I'll understand.. Just let me know.

Also, I'll have a list of cards (all baseball though.. really dont have any FB cards I can give up) for you guys to choose from if we can come to an agreement on a draft day.

Monday night would be freaking awesome for me, as I am working the DBC all weekend, but I'd say we need a majority decision.
