I can play this year.  I decided to limit myself to two leagues this season, then the two leagues I decided to enter decided to merge.

Proper Attyre For Footballe

League ID: 573108
PW: smuckles

Draft is set for 8/28/09 at 3:30 pm EDT.

Take a look at the settings.  I've added more players and more scoring categories which should lead to a more wide-open game.  More of an AFL experience, if you will.  Take a look and if you hate it, let me know and I'll change it.

Good luck, you rock and roll faggots.

The lab rats ride again.

Some personal thoughts:

I'm not sure I like the Q/W/R/T combination, since that's going to end up being another QB spot (even with 4 points/passing TD).  The W/R one is one of my favorites, though.  I'm definitely not a fan of having a single defensive player spot, but on the other hand I haven't actually played in a league with one.  I don't think 8 bench slots is enough to cover the number of player slots that are open -- cutting two roster positions or adding another bench slot would be good.

I personally would have made 0-19 misses -2 and 20-29 misses -1, but the way it is now isn't that objectionable.

I like that return yards are counted.  It's a big part of the game and it's nice to see it in FF.  I like counting safeties as more than 2 points since they're so rare, but 2's standard so no real argument there.

Sorry if I'm overthinking this, but I am a game designer. :)

Your input is very welcome.  I tried to think about it a little, but I didn't mull it over much.  While not a game designer, I do think about writing rules a lot which is sort of related.

I had the same concern about the Q/W/R/T combo.  You'll probably never see a T in there.  On the other hand, if we get enough folks playing it'll be at best a second tier Q.  What if I dropped the Q/W/R/T combo, added another Q slot and another W/R slot? Too much?

I'll think about your scoring suggestions.

I'll definitely add another bench slot.

Just signed up.  We should keep it small we are having 3 qbs per team, which is what we will need.  That is like every QB in the league if we have ten people.

Or just take away one qb?
