[Lathum]

[Chief Rum]

That's right, that's the one. Yeah I would like back in please.

[JAG]

Back. Will try and sort out things tonight.

[PackerFanatic]

I am going to bow out this year. Good luck everyone!

[saldana]

[Lathum]

so far 5 in, on out ( we'll miss you PF) and Clap wants in. I'll give it a couple days then PM anyone we haven't heard from.

[Lathum]

Requested a team-
Clap
Ragone
Vince



I am going to PM The three. I would say if we haven't heard back by Monday 7/28 we start soliciting replacements.

[Danny]

That's what I meant , I don't have the availability to do a non live draft

[Lathum]

ok. PMs sent to all 3 who have not replied yet.

NTN and CMG were on FOFC as recently as yesterday.

Spleen hasn't been on in 7 months so that could be a bit problematic. I sent him a PM anyway.

[Lathum]

dola- I am not opposed to a live draft if we could somehow coordinate that, I just think it would be difficult.

[Ragone]

I'm interested as well..

[Vince, Pt. II]

I'll throw my name in the ring if you need another body as well.

added

[ntndeacon]

I'll be back!

[cmgdodgers]

I'm back in as well!

[Lathum]

OK, so we are just waiting on Spleen nd Danny

[Lathum]

I sent Danny a PM to clarify his intentions, since his post in here was a little vague. I think it is safe to say Spleen won't be back. Once I hear from Danny we can assign new owners and get things kicked off.

[Danny]

I'm going to give up my spot.

[Lathum]

OK- 3 out and 3 new requests should button things up.

Between me and JAG we'll get rosters and rules posted. Selection of new teams will be in order of requested. So Clap- Ragone- Vince

I have posted a schedule in the first post of the thread

FOFC Keeper League Rules

Playoffs:

1. Each season six teams make the playoffs. The two division winners each receive a bye week in week 14. The remaining four playoff spots are determined in order of which teams have the best record and seeded accordingly.

2. Week 15, the first and second seeded teams play the wildcard winners. The winners move on to the Championship round. The losers play the following week in the Third Place game.

3. Week 16, the final two teams play for the Championship and the losers from the week before play in the Third Place game. The team that wins the Championship receives the 12th pick in the first round of the following year's draft and the team that loses receives the 11th pick. The team that wins the Third Place receives the 9th pick in the first round, the loser of that game receives the 10th pick in the first round.

Loser's bracket:

1. Starting week 14, the teams that do not qualify for the playoffs are in a bracket of their own with the team that wins gaining the first overall pick in the following year's draft. Week 14, the 7th and 8th place teams receive a bye with the 9th through 12th teams playing each other. The winners advance. The two teams that lose the wildcard games receive the 5th and 6th picks in the first round of the following year's draft (and all subsequent snake draft picks). The order of these two teams is determined by coin flip (random).

2. Week 15, the 7th and 8th place teams play the 9th-12th place teams that won the week before. The winners advance to the Loser Bowl (ironically), the losers advance to the 3rd Overall Pick bowl.

3. Week 16 are the remaining two games. The team that wins the Loser Bowl receives the first overall pick in next year's draft with the loser receiving the second overall pick. The winner of the 3rd Overall Pick bowl gains the third overall pick and the loser receives the 4th overall pick.


Trading Rules

All trades

All trades are subject to 24 hour review. If five owners veto a trade during that time period, the trade is nullified.

In-Season Trades

Players and/or draft picks for the following season's draft may be traded between teams up until the trade deadline. The trade deadline was previously specified by the rules as the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but is currently listed as Week 10 (11/6-11/12) and it is unlikely we have used the 'Saturday after Thanksgiving' rule in a number of seasons.

Offseason trades

1. All players and/or draft picks for the upcoming draft may be traded between teams as soon as the Championship game has been completed and until keepers are announced for the next season. The keeper announcement signifies the start of a new season.. Any players received in a trade become keepers for the acquiring team.

2. If a player is unkeepable (they have been on a team for three seasons as outlined in the Keeper section of the Rules), that player may not be traded in the offseason.

Keeper Rules:

1. You may keep up to 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR/TE, and 1 rookie. If you do not keep a player at one or more of these positions, you will be awarded an extra draft pick at the end of the draft to allow you to fill out your roster. Note that a rookie keeper year counts the same as a regular keeper year towards the three season limit outlined in point 2. below.

2. No player may be on your team for more than 3 consecutive seasons without being exposed to the draft. Being exposed to the draft resets this eligibility (e.g. if a player is drafted two years in a row, they could potentially be on the same team four total consecutive years). The following situations outlines the various keeper situations:

a. A player is acquired via the draft: You use the player that season and can keep them up to two additional times for a total of three seasons.
b. A player is acquired by trade after keepers are declared (in-season): You use the player that season and can keep them up to two additional times for a total of 2.5-3 seasons.
c. A player is acquired by trade before keepers are declared (off-season): You can keep the player three total times to use them for a total of three seasons.
d. A player is picked up off waivers / free agency: You can use the player for that season and keep them two addition seasons for a total of 2-3 seasons.

3. At the end of the third season on a player's team, a keeper is a free agent and the player does not have off-season rights to trade them or keep them again.

4. If a new owner takes over a team, they receive one final season of eligibility for any otherwise expiring keepers.

So if they have a 4 next to their name that means we get them for this season then can't keep them. Correct?

If looking at your full current roster and there's a player with a (4) next to their name, you no longer have the rights to that player and they are a free agent. If they have a (3) next to their name, you can keep them for the 2014 season and then they are a free agent after the season.

At the bottom of the roster post, I made a list of players that would have the (4) designation after the 2014 season is over if they remain on their current team. I did this as a way for people to plan for life after those players, either by trading them before you lose their rights or to draft their replacement or make an in-season trade with them or however you want to deal with it.

[samifan24]

Heh my team is gonna be a disaster. Thanks, Josh Gordon.

[Julio Riddols]

Anyone interested in Jeffery, Decker or Floyd?

Looking for RB help.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Confirming interest. It looks as though I get whatever's left, so I'll sit patiently by

[claphamsa]

im in, ill take the meat tornados

PM me your email.

[Ragone]

I'm still in.. Looking at teams now to choose

[Ragone]

I'll take the TD mafia

[JAG]

I've assigned the open teams. For the benefit of new owners, you can choose to keep 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR/TE, and 1 rookie each season. A player cannot be on your team more than three years in a row without being exposed to the draft (partial seasons count as a full year, for in-season trades or free agent pick ups) and you lose that player's rights if they go the full 3 years. There is no benefit to not keeping a player at those positions.

That's all in the rules, but figured I've highlight that. Keepers are not due until 8/11 so there's no reason to declare them at this time.

[JAG]

For teams without rookie keepers, I have a number of them I'd be willing to move for the right price (Cordarrelle Patterson, Christine Michael, Justin Hunter) and others I'd be willing to trade with them (Vincent Jackson and others). Looking for draft picks mostly, maybe a stud QB.

[Vince, Pt. II]

So I've registered on the site. Do we need to go through anything to make the team ours? I'd like to get familiar with the interface, etc.

Edit: Found the league, just need to see about getting the team into my hands

Good luck with them, clap!

[claphamsa]

Do you have access to Fleaflicker either at work or on your phone?

That could become problematic when we draft. You may need to send in a list.

[Lathum]

OK, opening up the floor for new rules proposals.

[JAG]

Lathum, can you please make a couple updates to the rules based on what we passed last season?

Under Playoffs, please change 1. to:

1. Each season six teams make the playoffs. The two division winners each receive a bye week in week 14. The remaining four playoff spots are determined in order of which teams have the best record and seeded accordingly.

Starting lineup requirements should have a TE required position added to it.

Bench spots should be 7 instead of 6.

Thanks.

[Lathum]
