That date and time work for me

This works for me.

4PM TD time? If so, I'll be good for that.

I'm good with the draft time.

I am signed up to run a 10k on the 3rd so if we could push this back a few hours it would help me - the race is a trail run up in the mountains and not sure how long it will take me to get back.

Jeff wrote: League type PPR Auction
What is PPR? Points per reception
What is an Auction draft? You bid on players with a 200 dollar salary cap against the players in your league. If you bid the highest for a player, you get them. Also you cannot bid more than the money you currently have. So if you only have 5 dollars left and 3 spots on your roster to fill, your highest bid will be 3 dollars because you need to leave at least 1 dollar to bid on your other two spots.
Cost of entry: 12 team 105 per team. This will be used to buy a condensed $1000 dollar pack and a 250 pack. Payment for the league is due before the draft, preferably one week prior.
Prizes
The format I am thinking of using is this (assuming 12 teams)

4 teams per division
13 regular season games
top 1 from each division + 3 wildcard with best record are super bowl playoff teams
bottom 6 are toilet bowl teams

2 division winners have a bye on week 15, 4 teams on week 16, superbowl on week 17. Toilet bowl will be based on total points scored during those 3 weeks.

Winnings, this is if we go 105 dollars per team and 12 teams in, also assuming no golden ticket and condensed pack.

Whatever this year's special is=1pt
URs=1pt each

Winnings taken in order...
Super bowl winner gets 2 points to spend as above
Superbowl runner up gets 1 point
Points title (most points scored in regular season) 1 one point
Division winners get 1 point to spend (the number 1 seed picks first, then the number 2 seed, then 3)
Toilet Bowl winner 1 point
Then best record who hasn't gotten a special yet (In case we get lucky like last year)

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.

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
Superbowl Runner up gets 2 pts
Points title gets 2 pts to spend
Division winners 1 pt to spend, again #1 seed gets first choice
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 give bonus points to the winners above. Since we don't know how many points that would end up being I can't be sure how it will be redistributed, but it will happen by league vote and if no consensus can be reached I will break the tie.

I have updated putting the points leader for the season above the division winners since this was suggested last season.

Here are the basic league terms from last year. I'm getting in touch with Tony to get access to the league manager part of yahoo. Based on the response for drafting how does 4PM on Sunday 9/3 sound for Draft?

King Thor stay tuned based on Endgame's response.

King Thor can have my spot.

That wiorks for me

Jeff (Scrael Bait)
Melissa (Cleveland Browncoats)
Fred (Mahomeless Colts)
Wade (Bogwood Beasts)
Cary (Dark Forest Druids)
Greg
Al
Orion (Football Totems)
Mike (Dresden's Wizards)
Cliff - provided Tony or another player from last year bows out.
Endgame -
Jacob -

This makes 12 spots . Updated Roster as of 8/2/23. Still need confirmation from Tony for in or out.

Looks like we have sorted out this year's 12. Endgame is out so King Thor can have his spot. Cliff is taking over Tony's spot, everyone else came back from last year. Here is the 2023 Owners list:

Jeff (Scrael Bait)
Melissa (Cleveland Browncoats)
Fred (Mahomeless Colts)
Wade (Bogwood Beasts)
Cary (Dark Forest Druids)
Greg
Al
Orion (Football Totems)
Mike (Dresden's Wizards)
Cliff
King Thor
Jacob

Cliff and King Thor I'll need email addresses so I can send you an invite to the league. Tony has swapped over commish access for myself and Mike Coon.

So far it looks like everyone is good for Sun 9/3, with Orion needing a later start time. Can people do 6pm EST instead of 4 to give Orion a little more leeway to get back from the race?
