Quick update for Circus, I tweaked the scoring a bit but need everyone to finish setting up their teams before I can finalize the draft. @cciciora13@Lacassem@cwojtowicz@TBT@ChiefMikeOfficer@ChasenLogan please head over to Fantrax and take care of that.
If you're new to Circus, here's the Cliff Notes:
- Offensive positions get big points for doing bad things but still being involved. ie, pass attempts, targets, and rushes are good but gaining yards, making catches, and scoring touchdowns are bad. Fumbles and Interceptions are worth as much as TDs in normal scoring.
- Flip side, Defense gets big points for getting blown out, giving up a lot of yards, and taking the L but loses points for sacks, int, fumble, etc...
- Punters and Kickers are your bread and butter. They get points for doing good things. Kickers get more points for longer FGs, points for touchbacks, and big points for making tackles. Punters do well for punts inside the 20, 10 and are graded based on NET punt yardarge.
- IMPORTANT: Rosters are severely limited. You only get 2 bench spots so use them wisely. Additionally, your players are on a pitch count. The max # of periods you can start someone is 8 for the whole season so you better look for trades before running out and being forced to drop.
- Free Agents are first come first served at all times. Trades are auto approved. 10 teams make the playoffs and the championship will be week 18. This is circus after all.
New stuff:
- I changed the positions to just be any three RWT and added a second defense. Rosters consist of 1 QB, 3 RWT, 2 K, 2 P, 2 DEF....10 starters and 2 bench.
- Due to the league size, we'll go ahead and do 2 copies of each player. 2 match ups per week as well.
- The draft will take place September 9th at 7pm EST. Yes, 1 hour and 20 minutes before the season kicks off. This will give you all the time you need to dig deep and build a comprehensive draft board over hours of research.
Good Luck all....errr...Bad Luck?

2 questions:
1 - are the bonus points added to the end of the week?
2 - are the bonus a 1 time point adder or is it for each week?
TY
1) They are added to your cumulative playoff total
2) Just onceThat spreadsheet I shared a few posts back should hopefully lay it out for ya. I’ll update it after each round.

Nah, Circus can intermingle here and really confuse folks when we’re talking strategy on which punter is going to dominate this week.
For those in Circus, I’ll try to make some headway on the setup this week.

This argument that @StrokerAce can complain that our scoring system is whack without providing any justification behind that statement or suggestion for improvement is a weird hill to die on.
We’re very open to change and go through a period every pre season where suggestions can be taken and voted upon. Either speak up when you have the chance or shut your trap. Respectfully.

Anyone know if there is precedence for such a decision? Last I heard, he had to win the Wyndham to make the FedEx Cup playoffs... what changed and why the special consideration/status?
There isn’t precedence…which is why it’s unlikely. But every special rule has a unique circumstance that spawned it so that’s why there’s a pretty public out cry to get him into the playoffs. Even Webb Simpson said he wanted to do a player vote to get him in.

The only question for fantasy is that my assumption is that most teams will drop him to pick up someone playing to have an 8 man roster. What will the commissioners do if they make the announcement after tonight’s waivers?
Yeah this one is pretty simple. If you drop him, don’t expect to get him back if the tour grants an exemption. I say this even being a Z owner myself. He’s been a wild card all year and continues to be all the way until the final hour.
That said, gotta imagine that if the tour is going to grant it, they do it today. Would be a tough scene to tell him on Tuesday to show up on Thursday. Gonna be watching golf news closely for sure.

I assume that was an exciting finish to the Wyndham....can't be sure because it wasn't on TV. Now that the season has concluded, I'd like to congratulate our 35 playoff teams:
I also wanted to say thanks for playing to the folks whose seasons just ended.

Right now I'm getting a notice that the page isn't working, I don't know if it's something on my end of the site.
I think it's most likely you. I tried mobile and desktop and both look OK.

I updated it to request a $10 fee at the top of the home page. This pays the Fantrax charge plus creates a prize pool we'll establish once we get the playoff bracket laying flat.

Ok, we're locked. Thanks to all that responded already and I'm sad to see everyone go that's not returning. Anybody that falls in buckets 3 or 4 from Berg's buckets should be seeing invites very soon. Let's get everyone logged in ASAP so we can move to the next step of league setup.
Haven't seen any rules proposals yet. Reminder, now is your time to do so....otherwise no complaining for the setup. Us commisheses will introduce a few unilateral moves and offer others up for league vote depending on a) what we come up with and b) what you suggest.

What were the changes to matchups?
Matchups auto populated against the median for the three playoff events for all teams. Just wiped them clean so non playoff teams will auto lock once the season concludes. Teams that make the playoffs will have matchups against the median show up but we’ll still score it in a separate sheet I’ll share later.

Don't have a PM from you but I don't see my name here...gtg?
Yup. I checked off everyone in the "Played in 2020, Count me in" poll response.

I'm in this year wouldn't mind paid league. Have y'all checked out sleeper I've heard they do multiple team leagues and I like that platform. Can't figure out how to vote on the poll.
Last year I looked into Sleeper, and like the feel, but they can't accommodate a league this size. #sad

Did a little work collecting emails and logging folks for this season. Some of you may have PMs in your inbox for action. We'll activate the league and start sending invites out soon but need to get the head count straight first.
The following people still need to send me their emails by 1200 on Friday (13 Aug) or we'll count you out:
@Abrooks269609@Ben_Howell34@BK_Strozier@cdewispelare@den748@Duffer-52@eschultz406@fdlptruckie@G-Man@ghost_32@Gino5778@Hailstorm13@JakeTaylorJacobs@JC from SA@JFish350@Kevin Russell@MED@Mike2020@oldbalddude@PBH3@Pensfan23@Raj LP@scooterhd2@Shawn90gt@Smiley1994@TElmore@Theoemg@Weekend_Warrior@Zman56
If you scroll up, you'll see that we're going to be operating on Fantrax so go ahead and download their app and create an account. You'll also notice that this is going to be a $10 league...that'll be managed through the site.

I’m a little disappointed he didn’t try to tackle the playoff scenarios. Throw some probability calculations and you’re probably looking at similar difficulty to the chalkboard math problem from Good Will Hunting.

@STUDque You locked my team and it is still locked. Can you fix this so I can drop/add player to play in the last week?
Thanks!!
Done. Please don’t clean house again.
-
Yes I think so. The pitch count was one of the things that really made the league sing. There’s a lot more interest than I expected so we’ll have to see what can be done within the free (or comped) realm.

I'm in. No problem with paying $10 for a prize pool. I think it would be cool to use the money for more fun or divisional prizes -- the Golden Ticket itself is pretty valuable (even with a $10 buy-in).
I haven’t done math on it, but ideally would like to have everyone that makes playoffs get their money back (at least)

In case anyone is interested, we're taking a head count for the fantasy football league. Head over to the thread:
-
It's that time of year again to start over analyzing every little bit about every move every team makes during preseason. The MGS Fantasy Football League is now open for interest. There's a lot of little decisions and tweaks that will be made to the league but for now we need to get a basic head count.
Here's some of the basic bits of information to wet your whistle:
- Scoring will be head to head with multiple match ups per week. Roster makeup and exact scoring TBD.
- Multiple copies of each player exist in the league to help with depth.
- Draft will be serpentine with random pick order. We'll take another poll at a later date to determine scheduling.
- Waivers are conducted using blind bidding (FAAB).
- Season will run weeks 1-14. Playoffs weeks 15-17.
- Prize to the champion will be the famous MGS Golden Ticket (+$ if we turn it into a paid league)
I've attached a poll to this thread to tackle the first decisions we need to make:
- Interested?
- Paid or Free?
- Platform: Fantrax or MFL?
- Interested in the side Circus League?**
At this time, we'll also hear out any rule changes you guys would like to propose for league vote. Just drop a reply in the thread for your ideas.
**Circus league is a free side league we made in the past. It's basically opposite world where traditional position players get points for doing bad things (turnovers, minimal yards, giving up big games) but includes 2 punters and 2 kickers who get points for doing good things.
-
I’m honestly shocked that this is even an issue. I have 2 quick points to make on this:
1) It’s fantasy 101 that you don’t drop your team right before playoffs. You just don’t do it and it’s a Bush League move. Any commissioner awake at the wheel would automatically undo any such moves.
2) For this, and literally every other waiver claim all season, you’ve gotta have a backup plan in place. It’s wild to think we should have a do over because an obvious BS move was reversed. What if someone else bid higher anyway?
Come on guys, let’s use some common sense.
-
Quick announcement.
After speaking with the owners involved, we’ve decided to veto the trade between Revkev and 00sportsman. For their sake, I will not be providing any more details at this time.

Wow, what a shakeup. Some were saved by the bonus but many lost despite it. On to the BMW, the matchups are already set so you guys can start making waiver claims. Top 20 are advancing.
