I looked all over the place before this season started to find 12 team owners, but finally contented myself with 10. Sure enough, when the season starts and people see exactly what I meant by a dynasty league they come running and want in next season. What's the best way (or some good ways) to add teams to an existing dynasty league?
Here's our leagues details:
-Roster size 30; able to keep as many as you want but no obligation to keep.
-I'm not sure the keeper format, it's fleaflicker default so I'm guessing if you keep you lose a draft pick??
-IDP (though there will be a vote to decide if we go to team defense next year. I imagine it'll stay IDP, but if it's Team Defense the roster will drop to 24)
-currently 10 teams, set up in two divisions (on a side note, I have the regular season and playoff formats set up in a real cool way. The regular season goes all 17 games and determines which division you're in next year based on final standings. Top 5 teams get promoted to "West Division", bottom 5 get relegated to "East Division". The double elimination tournament starts week 12 and runs concurrently to the rest of the regular season.)
The teams in the West Division have a slightly easier schedule before the seeds are drawn for the playoffs. Since seeds are determined after week 11 they end up playing 4 strong West Division teams and 7 weaker East division teams before seeding. The East plays 7 strong West Division teams and 4 weaker East division teams. Plus #1 and 2 seeds always go to first and second place teams in the West.
The schedule evens out a bit for the "regular season" which goes all 17 games and determines the next years promotions/relegations. 8 games played against in-division rivals versus 9 games against out division teams. This makes it more fair in determining the divisions, but gives one division an advantage for playoffs. :)
