#SFB11 Settings Drop, well, at least a couple. Plus future show info!
Hey all!
First off, sorry this is a day late! Paid subscribers got this info early, but now you get it (assuming you didn’t already listen to the pod)! Here are a couple settings coming to SFB this year. Remember to signup at scottfishbowl.com!
Also, we have so many emails piling up (BUT KEEP THEM COMING, WE LOVE IT!!!), that we plan on doing some bonus episodes on top of our biweekly schedule. Here is a tease of just some of the interesting league ideas… not the stories, questions, etc… these are just some of the league ideas we’ll be covering!!
Dynasty Politics League
Dynasty All-Stars League
Tamogotchi League
64 team best ball league
survivor based league
wrestling based league
A league where starting lineup changes in different weeks
a dfs/redraft style league, but not the type you are thinking of
a league dependent on dice roles
and many more
3RR
That’s right… SFB will have 3rd round reversal for the first time. 3RR has existed for a good 15 years or so, but SFB has never used it. As you probably know, the top of the draft order has an ever so slightly high win rate. 3RR was made to mitigate that. I had done research about a decade ago that showed it to be highly year dependent. Some years it did what it was meant to, some it completely overcompensated and made the back end of the order too strong. Given the routinely very balanced settings of SFB, it’ll be interesting to see how people tackle it, and also good to show the world there is a style that can help combat that top of the draft advantage. It’s my belief 5RR would probably do a better job of evening out the playing field… but 3RR is a common setting and is probably a tad more fun.
Kicker Flexing
Oh no. I know what you are thinking… “he didn’t just type that!” There is a battle brewing out there. A battle between the pro-kicker and anti-kicker factions. Let’s put this to the test in SFB. You won’t be required to start a kicker. I wouldn’t do that to people. I will, however, let those kicker loving types start them to their heart’s content. I will have to work on the scoring to make sure that they score in a fair relation to flex positions in SFB. One thing this may do… is increase the non-kicker player pool a tad for those who avoid kickers like the plague. That might be an interesting situation to watch.
