OK guys - if you haven't noticed already I have cleared all rosters and this will no longer be a keeper league. Next item on the docket is the draft. Looking back, we did it on August 30th last year. That may be tough because I think a lot of people go away that last weekend of August. As a result, I propose Sunday August 22nd at 8PM CST (9 EST) - I think that is the same time as last year. The draft is currently set this way, and can be changed for any objections/problems if needed.
I would also like to SUGGEST a few scoring lineup changes:
Change Bench spots to 5 (current is 6)
Change WR spots to 2 (current is 3)
Change bonuses from 2 pts (i.e. 300+ yards passing, 100+ rush, etc) to 5 points
Change passing TDs from 6 points to 4
Eliminte bonuses for receiving, rushing and passing for long TDs (currently adds 1 point)
Kicking changes - not posting current, but here are what I suggest as new:
Field Goals 0-19 Yards 3
Field Goals 20-29 Yards 3
Field Goals 30-39 Yards 3
Field Goals 40-49 Yards 4
Field Goals 50+ Yards 5
Field Goals Missed 0-19 Yards -1
Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards -1
Field Goals Missed 30-39 Yards -1
Field Goals Missed 40-49 Yards -1
Field Goals Missed 50+ Yards -1
Point After Attempt Made 1
Point After Attempt Missed -1
Defensive changes, not posting current, but suggested new :
Sack 1
Interception 2
Fumble Recovery 2
Touchdown 6
Safety 2
Block Kick 2
Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns 6
Points Allowed 0 points 20
Points Allowed 1-6 points 15
Points Allowed 7-13 points 10
Points Allowed 14-20 points 5
Points Allowed 21-27 points 0
Points Allowed 28-34 points -5
Points Allowed 35+ points -10
Majority rules on these scoring changes - since we have 12 members I'd like to get at least 5 votes (so one vote would swing). My vote is for, so that's 1-0. I will give this time to digest and make changes before the draft. Thanks all, let us know your comments in either the forum or the message board here.
