I'll have to see. I have a lot going on (work, refereeing, son's basketball season). I don't want to say yes unless I can invest the time.

Will it all be online (lineup changes, drops, pickups)?

Yeah, I plan on doing the draft offline, and getting a free room at Dave & Busters or Big Al's to meet up and draft at with some good food and beer.

If you couldn't make it to the draft in person, you could draft online. I'll have a live draft thread that I update after every pick going in the OT Section for a couple people that don't live locally.

Other than the draft, everything will be done online. It's an ESPN league, and if you haven't played ESPN fantasy before, they have a great Fantasy App that makes everything quick and easy.

We should have 2 weeks of preseason under the belt, and right now Friday looks like the best day, and I know you (Bobo) can't draft Fridays in late August (I can't draft the weekend of Friday the 25th-28th).

So it's looking like Friday the 18th will be the day we draft, unless people could do Sunday the 20th.

I prefer Sunday the 20th if choosing.
 
If we only have 10 it'll be a 5 team playoff with top 3 getting BYES.
 
@BoBoBREWSKI @trailblazer18 @HAAK72 @RipCityDSCPL @Sedatedfork Let me know what you guys think of this idea.

If we have 11 teams: What if we went with an 11 week regular season, with everyone playing each other once and having a BYE once. Week 12 would count as the last week of the regular season but would essentially be a play-in game between 4th and 5th place. I would create the matchup after week 11 for #4 and #5. Whoever wins would get put into the 4 team playoffs starting Week 13. I could put 5 teams in the playoffs but I cant make the #4 vs. #5 matchup one week and the other rounds two weeks.

I was thinking of this because it would essentially set up a playoffs like this:
Play-in (1 Week Matchup, Week 12):
#4 vs. #5 (1 Week)
Semi-Final (2 Week Matchup, Weeks 13 & 14)
#1 vs. #4/#5
#2 vs. #3
Final (2 Week Matchup, Weeks 15 & 16)

11 Weeks is a balanced schedule for 11 teams, and it sets up beautifully for this type of playoff system (I don't like running games Week 17 because good players tend to sit).
Also, with weekly and seasonal bonuses, it'll make every week intriguing for every team, even those on a BYE.

What do you guys think?
 
Sorry y'all I can't join. With my new job etc. I just won't be able to.

Works for me.
 
Right now we might not even have 10. For so many people that post on here this has been a struggle.

I just can't fully commit to the research time. My laptop AND desktop took a shit (fucking Gateway...) Plus I'm waiting to add PS Vue so I won't have access to NFL network...

Sidenote: PS Vue has NFL Redzone now which is great for tracking fantasy. Excited for that.

Why couldn't you participate with your phone? You can do everything on the app that you can do online. I don't think you need to spend too much time researching. It's mostly luck lol.

None. I tried playing fantasy a bunch of times years ago and realized I don't have the patience for the process. I love the draft and then I end up abandoning my team soon after.

Did you ever have money on the line? I always found that to be a motivating factor and makes the league more competitive and fun.

That's why I view a buy-in as a win-win. Either you win money, or you pay for a more fun, competitive, and attentive league.

I think I just don't like the micro-managing aspect. And, as dviss says, I'd have to spend time on research. When money is on the line, it doesn't feel right to just fuck around--there's a motivation to take it seriously and put a lot of effort in and I only have a certain number of things I want to put effort into.
