Well folks,
Here it is! The first official IDP league (I should point out that KilleKingSting's leauge is also an IDP league, but it was not started here on the Gridiron), and brand new Gridiron League! The Giants of the Gridiron League will begin it's inaugural season this year.
The league will consist of 10 teams (12 if there is enough interest). Rosters will consist of 26 players. Each week, lineups will include:
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 K
1 Flex (RB/WR/TE)
2 DL (Any defensive line position)
2 LB (Any linebacking position)
2 DB (Any seconday position)
Scoring is as follows:
1 pt per every: 10 yards rushing or receiving, 20 yards passing, PAT kicked, assist (on a tackle)
2 pts per every: PAT thrown, rushed, received, 1/2 sack, tackle
3 pts per every: field goal kicked, fumble recovery
4 pts per every: TD thrown, sack, interception, safety
6 pts per every: TD rushed/received, any defensive touchdown by any defensive player or special team TD
-1 pt for every: fumble, interception
Each team will be able to make 2 transactions per week in reverse order of standings (worst to first each round)
The draft will be a snake draft. Draft order and date TBA.
4 Keepers.
There will be more info posted later. If interested, please sign up on this thread!!

I'm always down for an IDP league. We have to stand up and represent for the Best Coast.

Just so there are no misunderstandings, this would be a "Gridiron League", not an "affiliated 'FFLA'" league. So, this would not be indicated among your "league" titles.
...
In any case, it looks like this is going great. I am loving seeing the interest.  Good luck and enjoy, fellas! 
When this league is "officially" established, there will be a board waiting for yous down in the "Gridiron Leagues" section!

I also would think that a half sack would be worth half of what a whole sack is worth(4), however the scoring chart currently lists a half sack as three. So a solution would be to increase the value of a whole sack to say 5 or decrease the value of a half sack to two. Just food for thought not criticism.

I did a little research on safeties... the Buffalo Bills recorded 3 of them in 2003. Most teams had 0 or 1. A handful of teams had 2... for the season.
So, as Tony said, food for thought, not criticism... either make them worth more points (even defensive TDs are more common than safeties) or don't bother counting them at all.

Okay,
I tweaked the scoring a bit.
But, to answer your question Jeff,
say you have a DB who returns punts. He'll get points for a TD scored on a punt/kick return. Got it?

Also, a special teams TD would have to be scored by a player (a WR or DB for example) who also returns kicks/punts? Right? There is no separate special teams position since we aren't using a team defense.
Finally, a FG is a FG and is worth 3 points regardless of distance, right?
(Please pardon my ignorance - if it is ignorance... I haven't played IDP in a long time.) |

Just a chime : if you guys did decide on an auction draft then, I have come across a lil keeper system that might be of interest along those lines of attaining players.
Auction draft - everyone gets a set amount of fake FF money - bid on players & fulfill your rosters; keep anyone you'd like at the end of the season BUT, in order to bid on other players (rookies, players not on rosters, players dropped from other's rosters etc etc) you must drop current players ffom your roster to free up money; the money you free up is the only amount you have to bid on new players; no player can be kept longer than 3-5 years (you pick the time frame on that though, with this type of system, 3 years works best).
