I’m in a league where we play for trophies. I think this league would be perfect to use that idea to pay out a progressive pot. We can come up with 7 title belts and choose a random week to count as the title match week. Whichever team wins that matchup gets the belt and maybe some waiver bucks. Then the following year the 7 losers get to choose which team (from the 7 winners) they want to challenge for their belt. Once u win a belt it can’t be taken away from you but when one team wins all 7 belts they get the progressive pot. There are also small caviets like a pot is paid out if u win 3 title matches in a row. I can go into greater detail if you guys are interested.

I'm down for some raidin'. I also think it would be cool for the division winners to have a snake draft for the new divisions the following year. Sucks when divisions are unbalanced. So what we can do is at the end of each season the division winners have a snake draft to determine the divisions for the upcoming year. The worse teams likely will be drafted first, and the best teams last. This helps keep the divisions as balanced as possible. I like this idea if we have divisions, but if we do one division like this league obviously it wouldn't be applicable. |

I would like more details regarding the logistics. Seems to me it would take a long time to acquire all 7 belts if you can only choose one team, as your post suggests, to challenge for a belt each year. Also what if your not one of the 7 "losers", a perennial playoff team for instance, how do obtain more belts? Can you explain a little more how your other league handles this. I have some ideas of my own as well to make it work, but I'm curious how a league that has already implemented this works. |

The Dragon Steamboat brothers are interested in this new, hypothetical league, but would need to see the details before committing.
As for the ideas discussed above and to throw out a few other ideas, I (Justin of the Dragon Steamboat juggernaut) am: (1) interested in the raid idea (kind of like the Rule 5 draft in baseball) but would like to know how the raid order is determined; (2) interested in the team captain idea Hulk proposed above; (3) NOT interested in the postgame switcheroo idea Hulk proposed, but I would be interested in an in-game sub out option, if the MFL platform allows it, as this would provide a way to switch out injured or underperforming players; (4) NOT interested in the 24-hour post-trade idea; (5) interested in the lottery draft idea; and (6) interested in a league that includes a draft of offensive line units (not individual players, but an entire unit) and point sharing. In other words, if a rusher scores a rushing TD, the o-line gets three points and the RB gets three points. If the team scores a passing TD, the QB gets two points, the receiver gets two points, and the o-line gets two points. This recognizes the efforts of all the players in the scoring sequence.

I have some ideas of my own as well to make it work, but I'm curious how a league that has already implemented this works. To answer your questions 1. “won’t it take a long time”. Yes, at least 7 years but the pot increases by $100 each year so by the time someone actually wins it the pot would be substantial or u can choose a smaller number of belts. Plus there are intermittent pots u can win on ur way to the 7. A) if u win 3 trophy matches in a row and you get that progressive pot ($50 per year). It doesn’t matter if a trophy is up for grabs. So hulk wins the “money in the bank trophy” year 1. He is challenged by a team that lost in year one. He has a strong team and beats them. Then in year 3 he could be challenged by a team that already has a trophy (and if he wins he adds another to his collection ) or a team with no trophy but if he wins he gets the 3 wins in a row pot. B) win 5 trophy matches, even if a trophy wasn’t up for grabs, and get a progressive pot ($100 per year) 2. “How will a perineal playoffs team earn another belt? ” any team can lose at any time. For example my team is weak in that league but I was able to win my trophy match. Plus if the team challenging u has a trophy u could win a new one that way. |

I'm not sure if MFL even has this scoring capability, but even if they did this doesn't interest me. I'm not interested in drafting offensive lines. |

I think we could potentially implement something like this, but it would be a little different then your other league. I need some time to think about it after the holidays. |

I may be interested in the new league, would depend on several things like structure, fees, etc. Also, I generally like to have a mixture of old owners I'm in several leagues with, and some new blood.

I would be interested depending on the particulars. I like the raiding idea and if we include 2 devy spots they should be included in the raid. This would ensure relevance to the draft.

This probably isn't the right time to discuss things that may not happen, but I'd like to say that relevance to the draft comes from reverse order of standings and/or accumulation of traded draft picks. The raid, if it happens, should not include devy players at all, as it shouldn't be looked at as an opportunity for teams to acquire rookies in lieu of trading away all their draft picks. As an aside to the raid...can the same player be raided in consecutive seasons? Can rookies be raided after their 1st year or is there some safety for 2-3 years for drafted rookies as a means of improving without risk of losing? |

In the league I'm currently in, there is no additional protections, but that is something that could potentially be implemented. I think it depends on how many default protected players we have. If it's just 1 per position then maybe we add additional protection for 1 year players, but if it's 2 per position, maybe we don't. I am not sure yet what I want to do with devy. I've liked the idea of it for years, but I hate the idea of watering down the rookie draft, something most of us really look forward to in the offseason. We'll see what happens with it, but it wouldn't be a part of the raid. |

Be on the lookout for the rule/event highlights of the new 2018 league! I think I've got some pretty good ideas for this one that will make it stand out in a good way from this league, gangland and thrones while still keeping a lot of good stuff that we love from those leagues! I'm just trying to decide how much is too much!? How far should I push it!? Also I've created a list of those that have expressed interest. If you have not expressed interest yet on this message board or to me privately please do so that I may add you to the list! I have 10 owners on the list so far and I'm looking to bring at least 3 brand new owners into the fold and if I do that, then that leaves only 11 spots if its a 14 team league. Likely $150 annual entry, however, first year total required will be over $200, for graphics and other purposes. I don't have an exact amount yet. Also I'm looking for new league theme suggestions!!! Dump your crappy leagues and get into this one!  |

I'm not sure if this is you saying you are interested or if you are reminding me that the Ultimate Warrior is interested. |

I hate all those rules, but I will say that I doubt ATG would have done that deal. First of all, he could have offered Baldwin to any other team for their 2019 1st and likely gotten a deal from at least 1 of them. Shoot, I would have accepted that deal even after I traded to you. Still will. I'm gonna offer him your 2019 1st for Baldwin over the off-season. I give him a 0.0001% chance of accepting. We'll see what happens. It would take a first and ? |
