NADL - League Discussion Thread

SealTeamRick has been removed as an owner.

I have contacted the top 3 names on the waiting list to get this opening filled quickly.

 

Damn, Im up by 9 points in the Playoffs headed into MNF. My opponent has Ertz (and a defensive player) going, my goose may be cooked as I have no gas left in the tank thanks to TE Fells of the Texans who laid an egg.

Down to the wire.

 

You need to pitch a shutout tonight.

 

In short I’m struggling with my last cut to get down to 30. Interested in any of the following players, make an offer. In descending order of their estimated cost:

Damien Williams
Raheem Mostert
Teddy Bridgewater
Curtis Samuel
Julian Edelman
Eric Ebron
Golden Tate
Sterling Shepard
Myles Jack

 

What are the dates for 2020 @Tim ?

Same as L4SN league? (Aug 31 @8)

 

Yep.

It's always going to be on the Monday and Wednesday the week prior to Labor day, until or unless the NFL changes their start date from the Thursday after.

 

Allow me to be the first to welcome the newest owner into this league -

@Kpipher1 has taken over the Newbies.

Welcome to the league, and good luck this season.

 

Thank you for the opportunity! I can promise you that I am very active in fantasy football.
Looking to trade players and acquire some picks. Anyone who wishes to throw me any offers for players , go right ahead. Anyone available for the right price.

 

Welcome !!!

 

Willing to move T.Y. Hilton and 4.10 to grab a 3rd rounder.

Be the first to ask and he’s yours.

 

Looking to trade up into the first round.
Anyone want to trade back?

 

I’m off to a slow start. Might be thinking future.

I have the #1 LB in the league (Bobby Wagner) available via trade.

Also Teddy Bridgewater, Matt Ryan, C.J. Mosley

Just trying to make sure I understand:
So Dynamos makes the finals if the tie holds due to conference record?

@Tim

If so, congratulations to Tim! Went from damn near worst to first in both NADL and L4SN. Think he was 2nd last in NADL. Still a remarkable turnaround.

 

I believe Tim gets it due to highest starter points (Murray). They tied on TDs. It's the Fleaflicker rules.

What you were looking at was the playoff seeding tiebreakers. Still time for corrections though.

 

Congrats to @beachbum for making a run from the 5th seed to play in the league championship.


And congrats to @Sam Mansfield for taking home the most points title in 2021.


Now for some league business...

LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER

After some consideration on the best way to handle a recurring issue within starting rosters, there will be some changes made to both the inactivity rule and the overall roster. Every team must field an entire slate of eligible starters at every position, every week, no exceptions. Previously, if an owner wished to have a starting roster that had a player listed during their bye due to not wanting to drop a player at another position to fill that void, they would need to contact a commissioner in advance to notify them of the illegal line up.

This grace for owners will no longer be extended.

All starting roster spots must be filled with a player that is eligible to be listed as a starter. No bye week or injured players* are allowed in a starting line up. If a player does not have an injury designation 24 hours prior to the kickoff of their game the manager of that roster will not receive a warning if that status changed during that 24 hour window with no line up adjustment. This is a large enough window to protect owners and keep from creating a situation where someone can be penalized for a late change in designation. If you have an obligation or personal situation that interferes with that timeline then you have the responsibility to contact a commissioner to let them know.

After reviewing the rosters for last year there is no justifiable reason to expand rosters beyond their current capacity for owners to remain in compliance with the inactivity rule. However, in keeping with the idea that any time I make a change in rules that potentially impacts other aspects of how managers prefer to build their rosters, we will be making a slight change to the practice squad. We will continue with 2 designated practice squad spots but with no set number for offense or defense. The open close windows will remain the same. This gives managers the ability to hold onto 2 players for either side of the ball or to split them evenly. Additionally, we will be adding one more IR spot that will continue with the same designations as the previous 3.

As for owners looking to tank games at the end of the season - It is not the responsibility of the commissioners to set starting line ups and therefore there is no justification for penalizing owners that field a team of starters that are substandard for any match up. However, there will be some guidelines set for 'tanking'.

1. Under no circumstances may an owner start a back up quarterback that is not slated to start that week. In other words, you have to field a passer that will be starting on game day. No exceptions.
2. You cannot start a player that is listed with a team but is on their practice squad. You must field starters that are actually on the game day roster. No exceptions.
3. Under no circumstances may an owner start a back up kicker that is not slated to start that week. In other words, you have to field a kicker that will be starting on game day. No exceptions.
4. Any and all back ups at RB, WR, TE, DL/EDGE, LB or DB may be utilized as starters.

There will also be a new penalty structure within this rule set. Starting with the first infraction:

1. Official Warning
2. Loss of Second Round Pick
3. Loss of First Round Pick
4. Removal From League

Individual circumstances will be taken into consideration.

The overall issue is that draft slotting and playoff seeding is affected by holes in rosters. Honest mistakes happen, and I am not looking to penalize owners for those mistakes. Basically, this structure is a tool that will help to make sure that owners that do make mistakes are not penalized while creating a rules set that clearly defines what practices are acceptable to end out the season.

Warnings will no longer carry over from the previous season under the new rule, however any official warning that was issued under the previous rule will carry over into 2022.

Additionally, for any player that is inserted into/left in the starting line up that does not meet the outlined criteria there will be an additional 12 points added to your total to end out the season. Points totaled is a tie breaker for draft slotting. These points do not count towards winning the points title at the end of the regular season.

*In the case of injuries to a majority of a roster, there will be exceptions made if it is deemed detrimental to a franchise to field starters on game day. This determination will be made by the league commission (commissioner and co-commissioners).
