Week Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The Superb Owl is over and it's time to think about diamonds! I'd like to try out something a bit different this year ... a friend of mine talked about a H2H format where you either win or lose the week and the top half of the leagues weekly scores gets a win (approximately -- need to reach out to find out what it was exactly). Basically, something to change up to keep interest in the season throughout as well as to avoid the poison pill of a couple bad April outings that ruin the season. Thoughts? Are people in? Any interest in a keeper league? Last year's standings: 1. Driftwood Stanes 98 2. Ghost Hill Revenant 87 3. Summerhall Slags 74 4. Valyrian Freeholders 73 5. Riverrun Toreadors 66.5 6. Horn Hill Ser Piggys 64.5 7. Sunspear Shariffs 62.5 8. Castle Black Crows 48.5 9. Storm's End Stags 47.5 10. Harlaw Krakens 38.5 @Whiskeyjack - @Bronn Stone @grozeng - @fuentez1138 - @Jaime L - @Arch-MaesterPhilip - @Mexal - @PyroclasticFlow - @Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am always up for two or three leagues with any remotely reasonable format. Count me as a yes for any/all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grozeng Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm in. Any interest in restarting Dynasty again this year or some form of a keeper league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghjhero Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I’m interested depending on what format is used. Have you done Roto before? What site did you use last year? ESPN is the best imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the categories listed, those seem pretty standard. Dont let me tell you how to run your league, but for position players would people be interested in having: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF and OF? I just like things to have a realistic feel to it, pitching doesn’t matter so much to me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime L Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Guess I'm in for another go. I'd rather stick with roto though, as punishing as it is. Never been a big fan of H2H for fantasy baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grozeng Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 OK if we do keeper or dynasty do we want to do it as a roto league? I hate our pitching roster spots but no one ever wants to change them. I think there are too many in our roto league that we did last year.

Whiskeyjack Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm probably up for running the same roto league as last year. Don't really have interest in anything else. But hope you guys can get it going if thats what you want to play. Are there 9 other people who want to play roto with those same settings?

I would say -- let's do the same as last year and then gauge interest in a second league of either a different scoring type or keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yahoo sent me a notice to renew this morning, so I'm going to go ahead and do that, and put Week, Bronn, groz, Jaime, Phil, Mexal, and Fuentez back in the league, since they've all posted here. For the last 2 spots, Pyro and JJ get first shot, since they were in the league last year. Would just put them straight in, but they haven't posted, so not sure if they're interested. If either of them drop out, then will open it up to other people. @PyroclasticFlow@JJ Lannister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
