  I can concede to a snake draft. It's easier and most everyone is familiar with it. I say we keep the rules as close to the Yahoo defaults as possible for a head-to-head league (makes it a lot easier for me to create the league :P).

  Championship on Week 16 is good for me (I think that's a default).

  @necrix Id prefer snake draft as well, it's quick, fair and consistent. The highest point total of the year award is kinda silly imo, since it's just sheer luck. How about the highest point total of all weeks combined wins award. I understand wanting to keep it competitive late season but honestly a team comish that gave up can still win the highest point total with an idle team.

  I see your point regarding the highest point total of year, but you hit the nail on the head with your last sentence. The whole reason for that reward is its attainable for anyone so it should motivate people even if they feel like giving up after a few bad weeks.

  Here's something to consider as an alternative...

  @adam generously committed 50,000 LTBc to the pool if we can find a creative way to use it. We could use that to reward the highest score each week. One of the big advantages using Counterparty assets to represent teams is that we can easily payout dividends each week to the top scoring team.

  We could compromise between @necrix and @therealtwig by adding 20,000 LTBc to what Adam committed and use that 70,000 LTBc to payout the highest point total each week. The remaining 50,000 LTBc can go to the highest combined total for the season.

  This puts the total pool at 260,000 LTBc (15,000 X 14 + 50,000 from Adam).

  • 125,000 payout to the League Championship winner
  • 15,000 payout to the League Championship runner-up
  • 50,000 payout to the highest combined point total for season
  • 5,385 per week (70,000 total) for the highest score each week during the regular season (13 weeks)

  awesome, sounds good to me. Yahoo! defaults are what I find the best anyway. I guess the only troublesome part would be coordinating the draft.

  Oh cool I missed this part... thanks Adam!

  Btw I think the points breakdown is perfect. substantial reward for 1st and small for 2nd, then a decent rewarad for highest points, because sometimes you get unlucky each week and have one of the best teams, but your record doesn't show it. I would maybe split those two evenly though (32,500 each) since right now it is rewarding someone 3X as much as the person who makes it to the championship game (although i guess they could be the same team). Any which way is fine with me though

  This all sounds great @loon3! Great compromise all around and this instantly becomes my favorite fantasy league! I love it especially when everyone is active and enthusiastic...makes for a much more enjoyable experience (and more smack talking during the year as well ;) )

  Thank you so much again @adam for your generous donation to the league!

  In terms of draft time coordination, I've used a service like doodle or timebridge in the past with pretty great success. Usually pretty painless to get everyone on the same page.

  Looking forward to the season!

  I have never participated in an auction draft but it sounds intriguing so I'd be up for it. But really, either way if fine for me.

  Anyone have strong feelings for or against PPR (point per reception) scoring?

  Well...looks like things were moving really fast here this morning. By the time I finished my little response, a lot has transpired. Too funny.

  So I just read the last nine posts and it all sounds great. Snake draft is fine. Payout schedule looks great. I wouldn't have minded sharing a little bit more of my winning take, but that's fine. lol

  Cheers gentlemen.

  Edit: How could I forgot to throw a huge thanks to Adam. Most generous my friend. Thank you.

  on the subject of my generosity, is a voice server helpful? We have a 20 man voice chat server that can do high quality recordings in case you want to do any meetings, wrap ups or drafts with personal element.

  Also, is there going to be a fixed exchange rate between the coin @loon3 is creating for this against LTBc? I'd love a 1:1 peg with a vending machine so non-players can participate.

  Like it. This has my vote.

  I think it would be awesome to draft with a voice server available! One of the leagues I am in does a live draft and it is great being able to chat/talk smack during the process! What do others think?

  Very interesting idea @adam re: 1:1 peg with LTBc, and I would totally be in favor if that is possible @loon3. When I saw your idea though about "non-players" participating, an idea hit me immediately I would be curious to hear from others about. Non-players could get involved on a weekly basis by backing the team token they believe is going to score the most points that week based upon their lineup. If they are correct, they split an 80% share (20% goes to the high scoring team owner) of all the token backings from the league (including those towards non-winning teams) that week and could exchange back to LTBc if desired. If not, they could use their tokens to continue to back that team next week or trade them to back any other team in the league they desired.

  I suppose another way non-players could participate would be with future markets (betting on the winning squad), but I didn't have as formulated of a thought there.

  Is this idea on point with non-players participating, or am I way off base here?
