Public Poll on 2015 Huddle FFL ideas  

8 members have voted

  1. 1. How would you like to see Fantasy Football on the Huddle in 2015?

    • Prefer to keep leagues managed by Huddlers pinned to top of forum, keeping different formats and groups together
    • Would support a free Huddle "Mega League" (see post for details) to crown ONE Huddle Champ
    • Would support a $20 Huddle Mega League (see post for details)
    • Would support both a Mega League and other Huddle Leagues
    • I got to this forum because of word "lingerie"

Many years ago I ran a 48 team league on the Huddle with fair to middling success.  I am contemplating offering this option again this summer but curious to see how many others would be interested.

 

In a "Mega League" you basically have four different "conferences" of 12 teams each that draft like separate leagues.  But each conference follows the same rules and same schedules.  The key is that these teams play an abbreviated schedule and only the top 2-4 teams move on to the "Playoffs"

 

The Playoff contenders then enter into a new bracket and are seeded.  There is a very good possibility that some teams in the playoffs would possibly have the same players at one or more positions.  This can be awkward, weird or a real strategy play.  In our case several years ago only three NFL players matched up against each other and in one case the owner benched the star player and the backup outscored him.  The point is, you can view it as a roadblock or a challenge.

 

The benefit of a "Mega League" is that you get one owner out of 48 Huddlers that can truly claim the Huddle Championship and receive a special banner/trophy.

 

The pain of a Mega League is finding 48 owners that commit to playing all season and pay their dues in advance.  I would be willing to run it and guarantee the payouts but only if interest is shown.  I realize there are leagues some Huddlers have played on that would want to keep operating and of course they would be pinned here also.  

 

Please vote and/or add in your two cents.  It is a Public Poll (non-binding, just collecting list of potential owners) and there is option to vote for more than one.

Does the 160 mean you paid yourself to put the league on? Just curious

 

 

yes.  I fronted the money but it came out of the prize money at the end.

 

at the time this was the only platform I could find that would support multiple leagues sourcing a late season playoff league.  I suspect there are more and cheaper options now than 8 years ago.

 

I know it's early but just gauging interest for early summer organizing.

I just decided I'm not going to do a "mega" league.  Don't think we have 48 committed players.

 

I will be renewing the two from last year though, I'm sure there will be new openings.

 

did you run the one that I won last year? I'd be back in on that if it's going again.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
