8 is actually the max for a league.

[zoraster]

It's more about player pool than it is anything else. There are only 20 teams in the two LCS's for a total of 100 players. With 8 teams in a fantasy league your league will use 48 of those players (5 positions plus a flex), so about half.

That's in line with Fantasy baseball and football. In football you actually play the smallest percent of potential teams' players (as football leagues tend to be 8-12 teams), but that's largely about uncertainty in play time issues.

Fantasy baseball leagues tend to be in the 10-16 area. MLB has roughly 255 batters on any given day. Leagues vary a lot, but Yahoo's default is 10 batters per team, which would mean a 12 team league has 47% of all potential players that day. It's pretty common to find bigger leagues that play 12ish batters but even that's only 56% of available batters on a given day with 12 teams.

[zoraster]

It is now closed. Thread locked while I post the upcoming leagues.

[zoraster]

bump

[zoraster]

Who wants to be the commissioner for Division 2?

[zoraster]

The following are your leagues!

Division 1

1. Prize: Mystery Skin Worth at least 975 or any skin that is 1350 RP or lower (NA Server only)
   
2. Animorpherv1
   
   
3. BROseidon
   
   
4. quadz08
   
   
5. Zoraster
   
   
6. xreckonerx
   
   
7. singersigner
   
   
8. Bella
   
   
9. pickemgenius

Division 2

1. Prize: Mystery Skin
   
2. Shanba
   
   
3. Glork
   
   
4. MTD
   
   
5. theelkspeaks
   
   
6. Sleepy Krew
   
   
7. randomidget
   
   
8. Axxle
   
   
9. hitogoroshi

Promotion/Relegation works as follows:
Division 1 #1 through #5
Division 2 #1 and #2
Division 1 vs. Division 2 #3 vs. #6 (Higher points for total goes up first)
Division 3 (If any) #1
Division 1 #7
Division 2 #4
Division 1 #8
Division 3 (If any) #2
Division 2 #5-8
Division 3 (If any) #3-8


Teams may still sign up for Division 3 if they wish. They'll be able to play if we get at least 4 teams.

[zoraster]

yeah that's what i need. I'm going to send out scheduling survey today. I think you also have to be around to start the draft at the correct time, so you can't be absentee.

You'll need to either provide me the invitation link or send it out to everyone in your league yourself.

[zoraster]

not really. Mafiascum Division 2 works

[zoraster]

hito, here's the survey results for your league: http://whenisgood.net/8r3zx4i/results/4xqc47w . Monday is looking good right now.

[zoraster]

It makes sense. Take the first 8 slots above and that's Division 1 for Spring 2017. Take the next 8 slots and that's Division 2. If there's someone who's missing you move everyone below up one slot.

[zoraster]

Division 1 Draft Time

Is Wednesday at 8pm EDT.

Division 2 Draft Time

Is Monday at 5pm EDT.

[zoraster]

just as a note, I am on vacation the next week so have limited access to respond to queries.

[zoraster]

singer sniped gilius

[zoraster]

meh. you can have steve

[zoraster]

your fnatic heavy lineup sure crushed me today.

[zoraster]

yes, but while their weak opponent may explain their high score, it does not give me, as your fantasy opponent this week, much solace.

[zoraster]

I'm sorry zor! I didn't mean to go so crazy week 1.

FYI: I have 591 points.

I'd still be losing to most teams right now

[zoraster]

you have to miss out on a mid player to get it though and the difference between mediocre to bad ADC and decent mid is probably pretty small. Now if you get a support, top or jungle player who goes ADC...

[zoraster]

i'm just grateful reck started piglet.

[zoraster]

how many points does your third place person have?

[zoraster]

I think quadz is going to get his second win to push me out of relegations.

[zoraster]

yeah. i think as it turns out if izzy loses today then I'll probably still escape even if you lose just because I'll have more points.

[zoraster]

Can I get final results from League 2?

@PEG: Which prize do you want? Mystery Skin Worth at least 975 or any skin that is 1350 RP or lower (NA Server only)

[zoraster]

PS. Ani got screwed.

[zoraster]

We'll see if your points are enough to keep you up though.

[zoraster]

That was a close one!

Also, the battle of #3 L2 vs. #6 L1 was super duper close.

The promotion/relegation order is as follows:

Definitely In League 1 if they return

1. Pickemgenius
   
2. singersigner
   
3. Broseidon
   
4. Zorasterful
   
5. SilentSonata13
   
6. theelkspeaks
   
7. Glork
   
8. SleepyKrew(beating out animorpherv1 by a mere 6.5 points)

Promotion Order In the Event Someone in League 1 Doesn't Return

1. animoverpherv1
   
2. quadz08
   
3. Shanba
   
4. xreckonerx
   
5. Axxle
   
6. MTD
   
7. randommidget
   
8. flaminghito

[zoraster]

Theelkspeaks has been given his Mystery Skin. I won't ruin the suspense, but it's an 1850 RP skin!

[zoraster]

excuse me 1820. Wouldn't want to pretend I was giving away a whole 30 RP less.

[zoraster]

Pickemgenius' has been sent as well, one of those At least 975 RP skins. It was a 1350 RP skin.

[zoraster]

also dodged piglet

[zoraster]

To be fair, the pickem we did in 2014 was a bit easier as we were just picking first and second place whereas the one this time is ranking all of them.

2014 was fairly straightforward, helped in large part by two samsung teams that were clearly leaps and bounds above everyone else (the only reason it wasn't SSB v. SSW was they faced each other in the semis).

2015 was a lot harder I think. Not many called an Origen semis run, for example. Or that China would completely flame out.

[zoraster]

Is it available now? It wasn't when i checked last time.
