i'm joined up and ready to go, posted this on the league board, figured i'd put it here, too, in case people aren't checking both:
 
 just joined so obvs i haven't been following all the decisions ... is it really 25 yards per point receiving but 10 yards per point rushing? just need to make some quick adjustments to my draft board if that's the case...

I didn't notice that?  That's stupid.....
 
 And why is a fumble -2 and a fumble lost -2?  A fumble shoould be 0 and a fumble lost should be -2.

yeah, everything seemed standard except for the issue i brought up and the one smackie just brought up. the receiving yards thing should definitely be changed, IMO, the fumble thing i don't feel as strongly about.

If you drop the ball and pick it back up and run, why should you lose 2 points?
 
 If you drop the ball and the other team recovers, you should lose 2 points.

yeah, sure, you're right. i just joined and thought i'd be drafting in 30 mins so i was more focused on WRs than some fumble stuff.

draft currently slated to tomorrow 12:30 pm, open to suggestions for other times.  sorry for this situation folks, i'm not happy about it either.

reception yards have been changed to 10 yards = 1 point.  fumbles have also been changed per above discussion.   league scoring settings can be reviewed here.

Hey Dungeon Master,
 
 Who does the league handle players bye weeks?

how? that's what your bench is for!  start your bench players in the bye week and make sure your bench players don't have the same bye week for your starters at that position.

[sweetcell]

right, but few people are going to have two defenses and two kickers occupying valuable space on their bench... so you trade, or swap, or check out undrafted players, etc.

anyone else getting a looooong "connecting to server" message when they try to test the system for the draft?
