Good Morning All!
The yahoo league has been renewed and all confirmed members have been added to the league.If your circumstances have changed and you want to opt out, please let me or an advisory member know. Currently, we have 1 member on Standby to fill open spots. The cost to play will remain the same as it was last year. I'll be reaching out individually with details on how to get your entry in. Because of the pandemic situation. If the NFL Season is suspended or cancelled, there will be 100% refunds on the league. There will be no regular payouts.Carrying over from last year will be the .15 scoring per QB Completion. Our advisory board for the season will be myself, Sarcasman and PennState1. We will handle any issues or disagreements that arise. I'd like to propose two dates for the draft - September 3rd (Thursday) - 8:30 est/ 5:30 pst, this is the night of the week 4 preseason games
- September 8th (Tuesday) - 8:30 est/ 5:30 pst, the day after labor day
Pros/Cons:
The 3rd would be drafting prior to all of the games completing, and also before any potential last minute trades/roster cuts have happened. However, if we draft on the 3rd, I believe we would have a shot at free agency and possibly any trades before week 1. Now should you be tweaking your roster so early...probably not, but you never know.
The 8th would be after the final week of preseason. All rosters would be finalized for week 1 and no movement could occur.
We've got a little bit of time, so please have your vote for the draft date by the end of June.
It's important we finalize that date, because this year we want to do Draft Trades. I've run into a snag with this feature, and will communicate with the advisory board on how to move forward.
Please let me know if you have any questions and that's all for now!
Thanks for participating in the league!

Prefer the 8th, but the 3rd is ok.

I'm in and I'm fine with whatever date you choose.
I request one new rule however.
If I draft David Johnson in any round, the remaining players have the obligation to arrange to have me shot.
Other than that.....it's all good.

The uncertainty in our upcoming season, and other world issues have taken my attention away from getting this league off the ground this year.
With that said we have a few actions items.
If you are in for this next year, please send your registration fee to crushgroove@gmail.com, or contact me for zelle or other payment methods.
On our two proposals, the leadership board has agreed that we are tentatively agreeing to expand our league to 14 teams. This would include accepting the 1 person on standby and recruiting one additional player. Because of the effect this will have on the talent pool, we want to ensure that team managers are also on board with this change.
If we get more than 6 hard no's at expansion, then we will keep the team count at 12. With that said, please indicate your feelings for 14 teams here.
We are not going to be trading draft picks. The reason why is that yahoo only supports the feature for Keeper leagues (which we are not). We could manually process trades, but it would be tricky and I'm worried there would be a mistake or fallout of some kind.
Lastly, does anyone want to participate in a Keeper league, in addition to our standard league? If we have enough players, we could put that together. I think it would take at least committed players to make that league.

3days, yes you are the standby member I've messaged all of our current team owners, to find out if we are still all in and to collect some payments. It doesn't appear we have enough yes votes to expand to 14 teams this year. So we'll stick to 12 for now. Stay safe out there |

Ok, I've noted that TCHOF, Morehead and TrueBlueatnyc are out for this upcoming year.
That leaves 2 unpaid teams, which I've reached out to.
If/when those teams pay that puts us at 10 teams for the year. If for some reason they opt out that drops us to 8, do we want to play a season with 8 teams?
I'm game for an 8 team season given the strange year we might have, but let me know your thoughts.

Me too.
No doubt it won't be a normal season but we might as well play through it if we can.

Not cool! We really need to fix that like putting the teams who picked bottom half last year in a hat for first 5 spots the next year. It’s a snake draft right? |
