As I post to Wade... awesome FirstGladiator. You like the format as well?

I do and I like redraft as well.

I'm not familiar with redraft, but would be interested in learning more about it.

Redraft really just means no keepers

I'd be interested in playing. Huge fan of both td and ff

Sounds good Melissa. Are you good with meeting at gen con? Also are you caught up with the posts this far? Any questions or concerns?

I'm good with meeting at gencon, and am up to date. I've not tried the auction format before but will read up before the con. I am good with either standard or Points per touch league.

So, just asking as I'm trying to recruit others.

How exactly were you planning to do the prize payout? Does every position get something, or just top 3 (like most leagues I've seen)?

Head to head every week?

I'd be interested in joining the TD league. I've done auction drafts before - they can be lots of fun with a good group of people.

I should be able to meet Thurs or Fri a.m. - though I haven't really looked to closely at which events are on deck yet. (other than TD runs obviously)

The format I am thinking of using is this (assuming 10 teams)

5 teams per division
13 regular season games
top 6 are super bowl playoff teams
bottom 4 are toilet bowl teams

super bowl playoffs 3 weeks with division winners getting a first round bye, single elimination.
toilet bowl is round robin.

Winnings, this is if we go 100 dollars per team and 10 teams in, also assuming no golden ticket and condensed pack.

Tooth of Cavadar=1pt
URs=1pt each
Both Modules combined=1pt

Winnings taken in order...
Super bowl winner gets 3 points to spend as above
Division winners get 1 point to spend (the number 1 seed picks first, then the number 2 seed)
Points title (most points scored in regular season) 1 one point
Toilet Bowl winner 1 point

Then ever week of the regular season, whichever fantasy team scores the most points that week will get a package of tokens from the other tokens we have. I would say a package like this

9 random rares
18 random uncommons
and 3 random draws from the combined healing potions, trade items and Gold Pieces.

I could either have my kids draw them out of a hat and send these when I get them from TD or bring these to the next gen con for each coach to pull themselves at the next league meeting.

IF we happen to pull a golden ticket the super bowl winner gets it, but forgoes all other tokens won. If that is the case the distribution would be

Super Bowl GOLDEN TICKET
Division winners get 2 pts to spend, again #1 seed gets first choice
Points title gets 2 pts to spend
Toilet Bowl winner gets 1 point

Under this scenario, if the Super Bowl winner was ALSO a division winner and/or the points title winner we will put the left over URs back into the rare bag to be drawn randomly for the weekly winners.

Also if we happen to get the extra UR (20% chance) it goes into the rares bag to be picked randomly.

This is my idea for doing it and is as fair as I can think to do it, if there are any obvious holes that I have missed let me know. If you want your tokens at gen con they would be free to pickup at the league meeting for the next season, if you would like them right away I would be able to ship them, but would need the receiver to pick up the shipping cost.

excellent Melissa, also if I made a mistake earlier it was not points per touch but points per reception PPR. I have you on the list.

Excellent I will add you to the list Kelly.

I am interested but I am not sure I can be on-site before 9:00 a.m. When you decide a meet time for sure, let me know.

I'm OK to do the meeting in the am, though I would prefer Friday rather than Thursday, as I like to get a picture of the craziness outside the dealer hall on Thursday am.
