Patience my friend. Polls don’t close until tonight.

For those of you who can't wait... maybe a little drip from the fountain of knowledge to whet your appetite.

This is going to be the largest fantasy league we've ever done here on MGS, and because of that... we've needed to go bigger ourselves. Also, as a second secret tip, what you may want to try and do is be a bit better than average.

Speculate away

Re-tease, it's not anything groundshaking to be honest, just trying to get the anticipation going. Also the second tip is official wrong per conversation between myself and @STUDque and my overactive imagination.

Truthfully I have had such a long day with a 5am walk with the dogs, 3 hours of driving and 8 hours of coaching and such then another walk with the dogs that you could have said it flat out and it still would have taken me 20 minutes to figure it out. However! It is very nice to be busy for the first time in a few months! As you can see they are pretty excited to see whats about to come as well!

OK everybody we're locked. Welcome to the 2021 MGS Fantasy Football League. This is a lengthy message to kick off the season but it's very important so please read it in its entirety.

Here's a brief summary of the big changes for 2021:

• We'll have 64 teams this year. Largest yet.
• Winning poll format is "Best Ball." For those new to the league, the schedule is set as "All Play" so your score for each week will be treated like a de-facto leaderboard. Score the highest point total for the week and receive 63 wins.
• Confirmed that the MGS Golden Ticket is indeed still our prize. Good Luck!

Here's some unilateral updates we commissheses made:

• Increased player pool to 5 copies of each player to align with larger league and give more responsibility on the owners throughout the season rather than the draft.
• Instead of straight-up doubling majors points this year, we're just awarding extra bonuses to the position finishes. This will place a higher emphasis on where your players finish in the majors thus giving you the opportunity to swing your week with a hot golfer.
• Playoffs will be during the 3 PGA Playoff events.
  • 35 make the first round, 20 make the 2nd, and 10 will play in the Tour Championship
  • Cumulative points for those 3 weeks will determine the league winner
  • You'll receive points bonuses to begin the playoffs depending on how high you finish during the regular season.

Here's some info about the draft:

• We're also pushing back the draft a week to avoid rushing it this week. Here's your new schedule leading up to season start
  • 1/13 league locks
  • 1/13-22 time to trade picks, set rules and take on stragglers if necessary
  • 1/22 draft at 8PM (still using Friday as the winning vote)
  • 1/26 First waivers run to fill rosters
    • Although your roster size will be 8 total, our draft will only be for 6 rounds to save time. After the draft, we'll hit up waivers (FAAB) to fill our rosters.
  • 1/28 Farmers starts our first event
• The Random draft order has already been set. Head over to the Draft Room to see where you pick. CLICK HERE
  • As stated above, pick trading is enabled. Feel free to wheel and deal your draft picks. You don't need to keep 6 draft picks so you can trade the farm for a top pick if desired.
• If you won't make it, Rank your players so you don't get boned by auto draft CLICK HERE

 

Lastly, we set up a Slack chat workspace for the Fantasy Football league and will continue using it for the Fantasy Golf league. This is a good space for quick questions, trade talks, etc. The more people that join it, the more useful it can be. I've sent an invite to everyone in the league via a Fantrax commissioner email. 

Any questions? Just ask. Good Luck everybody.

First, thank you to you and your fellow commissioners.

Second, apologies for what's probably a newb question, but having 5 copies available of each player...what does that look like on draft night?  I'm assuming we'll see the same player listed 5, 4, 3 etc., separate times so we'll know he's still available?

If only there was a way to do some mock drafts!

Each player will be listed once.  There’s a column called “#” that shows you how many copies remain. You can’t own more than one copy of a given player so they’ll disappear from the list once you add them.

For newbies and returnees, expect the always popular Draft tips and tricks post sometime this weekend

Set a calendar reminder for the draft.

[Berg Ryman]

And for all you conspiracy theorists/frozen envelope people, the odds of a commissioner having the #1 pick in back to back years is 1/320. Small chance but possible. If one of the four of us get it next year, call fix.

[Tarheelvolvo]

Excellent, almost in the exact same draft position as last year!

 

Thanks for setting this up @STUDque!

[JudgeSmails]

is the format still taking your best 4 golfers that week?

You can give me the #1 pick and we do not call it fixed...

[Mtbryant01]

Thanks for setting this up guys. Looking forward to it!

Well boys let's start this off right. I'm looking to move up in the first round and will to swap my first and add any or all combinations of 4-6 rounds to do so. The higher the pick the better offer you get. If you don't want to wait for waivers to fill your team let's talk!

Yes, the format is the same as last season.

I made you an offer earlier to swap and still willing to do that. I am not that far up the list,  but higher than you.

Okay - why can’t I figure out my position. I only see the top 15. :(

I never received anything from you.  I have only gotten one from another member but I’d like to move up more than what was offered. I have been trying to entice @STUDque to give up the #1 pick but he is playing hardball.

I almost accepted it!  But then I thought if I gave you my 1st for your 6th they might think we are in cahoots!

I am trying to set it up so we trade 1st and 6th rounds, but can't figure out how to do that.
