Ready for RAH Memorial Poly FF League 2023?

[SlowwHand]

Let me take this time to say, you don't need to text me. I'm obsessive enough that I'll be watching every single minute.

[-Jrabbit]

List of last year's teams and status for 2023:

1. -Jrabbit (commish) - in
2. ColdWizard - in
3. SlowwHand - in
4. Demonbinder - in
5. Ming - in
6. Flatlander Fox - in
7. Berzerker - in
8. EPW - in

So everyone's confirmed.

I'd like to expand it back to 10 teams if we can. Draft usually starts right around Aug. 15, so start making your lists.
And yup, it will be our standard slow draft.

[Ming]

I'm glad it will be a slow draft. I won't do an online draft. The last time I did, more than half the teams were on auto draft. That isn't any fun at all.

[Berzerker]

battle between satellite and network so I couldn't watch British Open on local TV, planned on watching delay repeat on the golf channel and right before they go to the Open the announcer told the audience who won

fire him

[Berzerker]

rainy day in merry old England... these guys all have golfing umbrellas with the interior metal arms serving as hangers for multiple pairs of gloves and towels

[SlowwHand]

My brother will be joining, Site and League.

[-Jrabbit]

Awesome! I'm going to check with Mark Guth to see if he's up for a return this year.

League name = 2023 RAH Memorial Poly FF
League ID# = 164225
League Homepage = https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/?lid=164225

Invitation link = https://football.fantasysports.yahoo...6a3c5ee7e6cc12

That should do it.

A couple minor questions re settings:

1. Due to Covid, Yahoo started an IR function. This league allows 2 qualifying players to be place on Injured Reserve. But since we're well past the point of constant Covid restrictions, I'm proposing that we drop that to just one IR slot.

2. QBs used to get charged -0.5 pts for getting sacked, but that went away at some point. I'd like to bring it back - especially since they don't get charged for the yardage lost.

Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Now's the time.

[SlowwHand]

1) I'd keep at two, but either way.
2) Not particularly the QB's fault, but, again, either way.

[SlowwHand]

But IL occupation must be truly on IL, not just stashed.

[-Jrabbit]

Yahoo Injured Reserve eligibility rules have not changed:

• Eligible designations - IR (Injured Reserve), NFI-R (Non-Football Injury (Reserve)), NFI-A (Non-Football Injury (Active)), O (Out) and Physically Unable to Perform (PUP).
• Ineligible designations - D (Doubtful), NA (Not Active), P (Probable), Q (Questionable), and SUSP (Suspended).

​IIRC, when a player already on your IR is no longer eligible, Yahoo forces you to either activate or cut him. If activating him puts you over the roster limit, you have to cut someone loose.

[SlowwHand]

As it should be.

[Berzerker]

I'm ok with 2 il and a sack penalty (even more than .5) but prefer yds lost to a generic penalty, doesn't look like yahoo offers it

we over value QBs anyway

[-Jrabbit]

Yeah, yards lost on a sack would make it easy, but it's just not an available stat.
Overvalued QBs is the reason I suggested it. I'm kind of on the fence between -0.5 and -1...

[ColdWizard]

I wouldn't mind going back to 0, really, but I think that's more necessary for a larger league size. So I'd prefer one, especially if we can get to 10 teams.
Yeah, negative points for sacks seems good.

[SlowwHand]

I would like to propose that we dock epw a fifth round pick just because.
