Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I would start with--as an interim solution--just posting in the sheet. We can always re-evaluate in about a week.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Am fine with rolling with this. Lets do it!

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I haven't read any screaming, so we're going to roll with it. Sheet will be updated shortly with the current trades I'm aware of, and that will be followed by Shenzhen.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Well, THAT won't work...

Untitled, TBC, you guys have some rework to do.

For everybody else, Untitled has the #1 slot at Shenzhen, and has reached trade agreements with both QD(#6) & TBC (#2) for that slot. QD is in first, by about 8 hours.

Because QD is in first, that trade will go through unless somebody puts a panicked PM in before I post Shenzhen, and the TBC trade will be vetoed on grounds of incorrect slots.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

And Shenzhen is now up. Welcome back from the "off-day"!

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Now that we've cleared a few things up that affected the rules...

I just put up the updated rules, including today's updates. (I did try to stay pretty close to the wording used in my earlier post, but going a little more general.) https://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2574

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Speaking of the rules, I was under the impression that we would use district seeding points for seeds, instead of the 20-12-12-6-6-6-6-6[...] system that was in the old document. (see Section 7.4.1 of the Admin manual here for the equation).

Which will we be using for FF scoring?

...

I'll have to look that up after the drafts tonight. I want to say we discussed that in the "stuff to change" thread.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Thank you! I'd be interested in playing next year. Is there any chance of a stand-alone FF league just for Champs? I'd be interested in doing that this year.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I know there's one for IRI, and there's a standalone FIM draft this year(the rules are a little different for both), but I don't know of anyone doing a standalone Worlds draft, atleast not through this forum.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

If someone steps up, there can be. I know in the past some folks have done a free-for-all draft (pick any 3 teams as long as someone else doesn't have the same 3); there's nothing saying that there can only be one FF league/draft.

I have no plans to run a stand-alone Champs league, however. (It's going to be fun enough getting 6 divisions at each 1/2Champs drafted.)

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Erci uses the term "fun" very loosely here :o

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Ok, thanks! If someone else sees this and becomes consumed with the idea of creating a stand-alone Champs league, I'll probably try and participate. But I'd say it's a bad idea to try and start a league myself without ever having played. Maybe next year.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Can someone explain to me why we use CD time? Everyone seems to get confused/not care about it, and, from my perspective, it's just easier to check that little box in the corner than remember that CD time is behind actual time.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Because sometimes people computers are not perfectly synced. The only option would be to go by the draft runners time, which may/may not be synced properly either.
