Who knows what may change before the season starts or especially before it ends but I plan to act as if everything is normal. I reactivated my The Lettuce Patch Part Deux this morning. All that were in it last year should be able to go to espn.com and reenter the league. I have all emails if I hafta send invites. If you are not interested in returning please let me know, I know there was Drebin and another cpl that was interested if spots opened.up.

Id like to keep money in the same ballpark as last year. My proposals for the scenarios where the regular season isn’t finished is $25 to highest score per week as long as there are games. If the league plays 10 games before a season is stopped then regular season money is paid out as if a full season was played. Less then 10 games and all money left is refunded. If we are still playing in the playoffs (wk 13-15) and a season is called and playoff money will be divided by those still alive in the playoffs. These are just my suggestions, anything is on the table.

The only changes I made to scoring was I went to the decimal scoring. (If player x had 24 yards in old scoring you got 2 points. With decimal scoring you would get 2.4 points). It’s much more fair and it eliminates 99% of ties.

Made a few small adjustments to rosters but these are negotiable as well. I added 1 WR spot dropped 2 bench spots while adding an IR spot. So that’s QB,WR,WR,WR,RB,RB,FLEX,FLEX,D/ST,K
and B,B,B,B,B,IR. That will make the waiver wire much more competitive come through BYE weeks.

if there are teams that haven’t been reactivated in the next CPL weeks then I will try emailing before replacing a team.

Everyone was on the ball last year and were paid up before the draft. I’ll wait til there is a definite starting date and we’ll set the draft date a week or so before that. We can try to be paid up 3-4 days prior to the draft that way a replacement can still be found before we draft.

With three leagues to draft for some of us (and two for others), the drafts are always hard to cram in there right before the season begins, but of course ideally it's as close to kickoff as possible. With how the news is going in a Covid world I would definitely want the draft no sooner than a week before kickoff, but understand the scheduling difficulties.

As far as the IR goes, does it allow us to put players out due to COVID on it? Or will those players just be "OUT?" If the former I'm cool with it, but if it's the latter I would prefer to drop the IR spot and just keep an extra bench spot. If someone loses two or three players one week to COVID quarantine they could have to drop a starter just to get someone in the lineup, especially on a bye week.

Also dropping two bench spots is rough on those like me who usually keep two QBs and sometimes two DEF/ST, but I'm willing to adjust. I just hope we have a football season.

Yes, if I read the article correctly covid will be eligible for a shorter IR period, that’s the only reason I added it as an option. If I read it wrongly then I will swap out the IR for another Bench spot. And again most things are negotiable. I liked the idea of adding an extra WR slot to more reflect an actual offense. I just thought cutting the roster size by one would make people watch and use the waiver wire a little more carefully. There just wasn’t a lot of help on the FA list there toward the end of the season and for teams in BYE week hell or swamped by injuries for a week won’t hafta just mail it in. I’m flexible, the only thing I’m a hard no on is starting 2 QBs in a 12 team league.

But speaking of fitting the 3 drafts in a short period, I think last year all 3 were between Sunday night and the following Wednesday prior to the Thursday kickoff. Surely we can work them on 3 different nights or at least give an hour or so between 2 of the drafts.

Once ppl get around to joining y’all are free to make suggestions on the league message boards

I'm good with all that, especially the 3 WR format. Going to make things much more interesting on draft night.
