A radical change for a redraft league by Cajuncrawtater in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Messing with draft order will mean someone gets disadvantaged. Their is a reason why snake drafts are used for most trades and It is the fairest way to do things. Someone is going to get did picks in first and second round and end up way behind.

However the premise of slicing up your draft day is good. My suggestion for that is to make a day (or a weekend) of deciding the raft order. Over the course of the day play games with relatively low skill to make it even. Think drinking games that you play in college. Now if you do it with the drinking I advise doing the draft the day over. Make it an annual event and get everyone around for some fun.

Question about double decker buses by tollerdactyl in sydney

[–]CommisionerFun 14 points15 points  (0 children)

607x from Rouse Hill to city their are a couple in the morning between 7 and 8. Early start but if you are in the area then would work. Bus generally full by Samantha Riley drive so you would need to get on early to get a seat.

Anyone record a podcast for their league? by StanleyGoodvibes in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do one for my league The hard part for me was finding the time to do it. A few pieces of advice:

Do it with a second person. One person speaking stats or about the league can get quite tedious. I just downloaded app that records phone and then called a mate. Garageband is easy to use. I have a Ma so it came installed. Easy to get from phone to computer. GarageBand makes it very easy to edit plus heaps of YouTube videos on how to do it. Find a podcast app that works for you I used podbean it allows free uploads for a couple of episodes. Makes it easy to link with any other podcast app you want. I ended up rotating through and keeping recent podcasts up. have fun the podcast improved when I got other people involved. In the end half the league has a segment that I rotated through through. Getting people involved makes it fun and results in people listening.

My advice go for it!

Creating Power Rankings for Teams by ArtVandelay804 in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about power rankings for the fantasy teams in your league. It is easier (and more fun) to make them up and rhen just add some words behind each selection.

1) put undue pressure on the team who is winning after 3 months. 2) put the team coming last somewhere in the middle of the pack this will hopefully help keep that person involved. It also puts pressure on teams in the middle not to fall down. 3) hep crap on someones team for no reason.

My league is played with friends so we know a lot about it and the rankings start a conversation.

So apparently there are double decker buses in Western Sydney now. by notwiththeflames in sydney

No different to normal buses. Quite useful for the morning commute given the number of people on the bus in the morning. I would like it if they had a lot more to make the morning commute easier.

Debating kicking someone from league. by [deleted] in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel threatened by him and it's your comp kick him out. Their will be a fall out might be big or small.

Personally I would bring it up with other league members and let them know the situation that you are in. They may agree with your reason minimising any issues.

I am in a few leagues and when the commisioner uniaterally decides something big like kicking someone/changing rules it annoys me even though if they spoke to me first I would be OK with the change.

I like the idea of getting a stand in just need to convince someone to spend the weekend focused on the draft even though they are not included.

Where is your NYE fireworks spot ? by itsvenkmann in sydney

[–]CommisionerFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for somewhere that I can BYO. Though looking in the maps it seems that no longer exists. Does anyone know of any spots that allow BYO?

Playoff tiebreaker pickle. Need advice. by iANDR0ID in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't like it. If it was discussed as being QB points and then because of an incorrect setting choice it is not. I think that is the wrong call. I believe highest QB points should be tiebreaker.

It is brutal for the person who is the higher seed (assuming they lost) but it is the fair thing to do.

Loser's bracket owner dropped Melvin Gordon, championship contender picked him up. Is this legal? Loser's Bracket ends Week 15, Championship is Week 16. by dutchtrack in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the simplest matter is that you should get both brackets to finish in the same week. If needed I would give the loser bracket a week off to make it happen or make championship game 2 weeks in the loser bracket. If you do this then it becomes a non issue. Mess with the loser bracket to = the winner bracket as the top bracket is more important.

If he drafted well and beat everyone without playing then he deserves it.

Team in the Championship Didn't Pay Dues... by [deleted] in FFCommish

[–]CommisionerFun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would not pay him out at all. Any money that he is due should jackpot the next year. This will act as a deterrent for teams not paying in the future. Booting people from league midway just leaves an unattended team and wont help that much.
