Isn't it about time for the annual announcement of the latest random change to the points system?

Maybe 12 points for a blocked long snap in punting situations??

No random changes. This whole "seasonal changes" thing is a huge myth. Scoring specifics have remained consistent for like 5+ years. I've only added positions or taken them away.

In saying all that tho.....this year I MIGHT look into the scoring of missed FGs and PATs. Given they took PATs back to the 15 yard line.

 

[SnakeMan86]

I jump back in

 

[balmainforever]

I'm bored. Lets start drafting now.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Yeah I'm in

 

[Chism]

In.

And coming for everyone is Chevys Chasers as my main man is pulling the moves this year!

 

[FootyPunk]

Bit late?? But I'm in for 2017

 

[Exe Gesis]

Not late. Have to organize this soon

 

[Helfarch]

I don't understand what this is so if possible I am in.

A no-bench IDP league with similar scoring to Omega.

It's called "Cutthroat" because you need to be that way when dropping people to avoid copping doughnuts because there's no bench or IR

Well, its a GG creation, possibly the worst fantasy comp ever, drafting well means sweet fa.

Out.

Waaaah! Drafting well means starting well. Using the waiver wire well means negotiating the bye weeks plus building for the playoffs.
I love CT, very different to everything else.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I dont mean to be harsh on CT cause it is run superbly by GG, a credit to him. But the format itself is hideous. Miss one week of waiver wire pick ups (or get in late on a certain week such as bye weeks) and you might as well write your season off.

Dynasty leagues any day of the week. Nothing beats building a long term winner yourself IMO.

Hence "cutthroat"
But no, the division standings are always tight so a season is never a write off after a loss or two.

I think its a great comp for new people to fantasy football or the casual player. It is indeed cutthroat. Gives everyone a chance but the waiver wire stuff is honestly chook lotto. By the end of the year your team resembles nothing like the team you drafted.

I just happen to enjoy dynasty formats much more, each to their own though.

It's okay I'll still love you tomorrow morning. It is good for new people. But even for regulars it's good because it's so different. Especially as a lot of us are in tons of dynasty and keeper leagues. So it still interests to play. Also imo it helps sharpen ones dynasty drafting/tactics because it teaches you to really go for value and not fritter picks on longshots.

(Disclaimer: this may or may not work on gg.exe tho)

Im sorry that my initial post came across as harsh as it did, didnt mean to have a dig at you because you do run this comp very very well.

Oh, another thing i hate, the ESPN fantasy website, worst fantasy football platform going around IMO.

What did I start last year? 1-4? 1-5?

What did I finish? Division champs + league champs?

I dunno, it's been erased from my memory banks.

How many memory banks do you have?

That information has also been erased.
