RBF League 2023 - Gary Barnidge Classic!

[Randolphkeys]

I've already received one list of keepers that included a first and second round pick as keeper. Shame on you and a pox on your house.

Here is a reminder of how keepers work:

This is a keeper league with the ability to retain two players from the previous season at the same round value. If you select the same player two years in a row, the player goes up one round in value. The max is three years as a keeper. Because we started keepers three years ago, plenty of quality players will be available for the first time in a long time. If you retain your first round pick from last season, that is your only keeper.

OOps.

Once I hear from everyone I'll let other RCF members know if we have a new spot or if we are returning to a 12 team league to make it all a little easier. We definitely have enough responses so far to keep this league going.

Title edited to honor bad ongoing title changes.

I'm in.

Any day of the week after 7pm EST tends to work for me.

I'm in again.

Thanks Keys for running this again....you do it well, and I hate doing this stuff. See you in the Championship bracket. Speaking of which - is it possible to set it up so that we avoid byes? Maybe add 2 more teams to the playoffs or something?

This is a good idea and I'll look into it. You are right, if we stay at 14 teams we should have two more playoff teams.

EDIT - Just so we are clear: If your keeper is now worth a first round pick because he was a second round keeper last year, you can still keep him but he has a first round value now... therefore he is the only one you can keep. I hope that makes sense. Two teams have asked me about that same scenario.

I'm out August 12-15 for a work conference in Vegas (humble brag) and Aug 24 for another fantasy league's live draft. Otherwise good whenever.

 

[Randolphkeys]

I'm probably leaving it at 8/26 at 9pm EST. I think we have done the Monday before the regular season starts for a while now.

All I'm waiting for is the returning chump, @Tornicade. Everyone else has confirmed.

Can we get a brainstorm going for some in-season challenges?

Last place has to turn vegetarian for a year. Now this would be a man honor code, as we have no way of holding that better accountable, but it would be a pretty damn tough year for sucking in fantasy.

Last place must go to the 2020 Twinsburg Twins Festival with someone that looks absolutely nothing like them. Or bring something random like a cat and has to document the whole thing.

Last place has to buy a ticket to a K-Pop concert and wear Slipknot style clothing and document.

I like contests that don't cost money. I'm not bidding against half the city of San Francisco to score a K-POP ticket. I'm also not flying to Twinsburg.

I like the vegetarian idea, but it's tough to prove.

How about whoever has the most autodraft picks by the end of draft night lets the rest of us come up with his team name?

When does the draft order get determined?

We always do a manual lottery right after the keepers date passes. I haven't heard from Tornicade, and he hasn't been active on RCF for months. I'm reaching out one more time before we start talking about adding a new member of the league.

Teams who have not submitted keepers include @Jack Brickman @The Wizard of Moz @FiveThous . You guys have until August 20th. No rush but don't miss the window.
