League settings:(firm but open for discussion)
12 team, 13 week regular season, 4 divisions - play division rivals twice and all others once (no double-header weeks)
PPR, start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 rb/wr/te - no d/st or k
6 team playoff lasting 3 weeks
15 bench spots with 2 IR
Can trade draft picks 1 year in advance.
Snake draft for start-up after 2013 NFL draft.
Following years - trim roster to 18 guys by August 1st. 7 round rookie/FA draft mid-August, trim rosters to 23 (+IR) by Sept. 1st.
Probably use flea flicker or ESPN (open to other sites, but not a fan of MFL). Payment via PayPal or LeagueSafe (open to other options).
Payouts
My fantasy football experience has been pretty similar to my poker-playing experience; it's more competitive and taken seriously when you play for money!
$40 buy-in
Weekly winners: (13 weeks, $130 in payouts)
$5 for most points scored
$3 for 2nd most points scored
$2 for 3rd most points scored
Regular season winners: ($110 in payouts)
$15 - division winners
$10 - most points in a loss (single game)*
$10 - narrowest margin of defeat (single game)*
$10 - most points against (all season)
$10 - most points for (all season)
$10 - largest margin of victory (single game)*
*both teams' starting line-ups must be full - i.e. can't start somebody on bye (game time decisions don't count). Basically, no tanking to try and win this side pot! Commish/league discretion
Also, the team who finishes in last place in the standings forfeits the right to pick their team name and logo the following season.
Playoff winners: ($240 in payouts)
1st - 120
2nd - 80
3rd - 40
4th - consolation prize - you get to pick the team name and logo for the regular season last-place finisher the following season
As you can see, there are a lot of chances to win. I've used similar payouts in other leagues, and it has helped keep things interesting down to the wire.
