Do we know how many owners and how many of them have previous fantasy experience?

What if... and I know Milk would love this... you let every person in the league create 1 rule that everyone has to agree on?

I like the Team Win/Loss stat - think it was @femurov that has that in one of his leagues.

Team DST gets pts or loses pts whether or not they actually won the game in real life
I've seen "Head Coach" as a position where they get or lose points for winning or losing. Some even get more specific where it depends on how much you win or lose by.

10 owners. 9 have regular experience, 1 has very limited experience.

Who is your hosting site? If its a pay league, or fantrax, the possibilities for fun interesting twists on the scoring system are virtually limitless. And they can really make the difference between this being just another league, and the one your owners love the most.

If were talking money league, we do a thing with the lowest scoring team each week has to add 5 bucks to a separate pot and at the end, the team with the highest scoring single week collects the pot. In addition, we also have the team who left the most points on the bench every week toss in five bucks into a third pot, with the team scoring the most points throughout the season collecting that one

or use the Milkian Randomizer... that was actually fun... for those who remember it...


if you are using FAAB, bid for the pick order you want...

It would be more work for the commish...

But let's say you have 8 starters... draw a number from 1 to 8.
The number that comes up gets double fantasy points for the week.
Of course, the commish would have to manually adjust the scores.

I can hear the complaints by the owners already...
Why did I put ODB in the 4th spot when I could have put Diggs.

Best ball also seems to be gaining popularity.
You could do that.

Basically the entire roster is active.
But only the players with the best scores (for the required starting positions) are what counts.

Ah, that does sound interesting. Thanks! Do many of the websites have settings for this or is it mostly a manual-thing for the commissioner?

In my league we had 4 guys make a bet.......

They took the numbers 1 thru 5,(which stood for the 1st round thru the 5th).two of them went first and each drew a number,say one guy drew a one and the other drew a 5,they had to trade their 1st rd pick for the other guys 5th round pick......It was actually kind of fun and hilarious...........just a little food for thought.

That would suck having to trade Zeke for a 5th rounder...........:heh:

I'm on ESPN and Fantrax and to my knowledge neither supports a best ball format.
At least not to date.
Or not without the league manager's manual input.

myfantasyleague.com hosts free best ball league - set up was a little meticulous, but that seems to be the way all leagues/sites are going, if you want a lot of control over all the settings

I reached out to Fantrax last year and they left me under the impression that it was a feature that they'd have eventually, but just not available last summer.
