Draft H2H Divisionals

Post by bspittles »

I hope to run a new game, using head to head FPL Draft.

Leagues of six managers will be played over a ten GW season, playing each other twice. At the end of the season, new leagues will be created based on the finishing league positions.

To start, everyone will join a league of six based on first-come, first-served basis. Those leagues will run from GW 4 to GW 13 (9th Sept to 26th Nov). Then, all those who wish to continue will be placed in leagues based on their league position in Season 1.

A small addition to the tie-breaker rules:

Tie breaks will be:
1. Position
2. Points as a %age of the top-of-the-table
3. Head to head results
4. FPL points for the duration of the league
5. Coin toss

Those leagues will run from GW 16 to GW 25 (9th Dec to 31st Jan). The next set of leagues will be created with promotion and relegation (two-up, two-down). Anyone new who wishes to join will start in the bottom division where space allows. If anyone drops out between seasons, a team will be reprieved from relegation.

The final season will take place from GW 28 to GW 37 (24th Feb to 6th/7th May). Positions in those leagues will form the basis for season 4, hopefully in 2018/19 :-)

First drafts will take place on Monday 4th or Tuesday 5th September (please indicate which you prefer below). Subsequent drafts will take place on the Tuesday before the first GW. All drafts will take place at 9pm UK time. Draft pick time will be 90 seconds unless agreed by all partipants beforehand.

You MUST have three spaces left in your draft league list!

Team names MUST include your FISO name, and be the same from one season to another.

Hopefully, the short seasons will keep everyone interested.

If you'd like to take part, put your name below together with whether you prefer a Monday or a Tuesday draft to start with.

All questions and suggestions welcome :-)

Edited to include information about team names
Edited to clarify tie break rules

9pm UK I assume
10pm CET, no prob with me
I'm rather interested, it's a great idea
I need to know first, I will NOT take part in anly league where the draft pick time is set at 30sec (also considering just 6 managers)
I have no problems in dedicating even 1 hour rather than 30min to the key moment of such game, if others like to play blitz-draft just let me know beforehand

Good point. Draft pick time will be 90 seconds unless agreed by all partipants beforehand. (I wouldn't expect anyone to take 90 seconds, but it's there in case of connection problems.)

I'd be fine with 60" as well :)

MoSe (possibly Monday)

on Tuesday I'll be watching http://www.uefa.com/worldcup/season=201 ... index.html
ending 22:30 CET, 21:30 UK - it's not a top match, and it could be decided before 60'.
but I always follow NT and it would be a pity should the match last 30' overlap with the Draft
(I could do both at the same time, but out of direct experience I'd not then pay the required attention to any of the two...)

BTW, would the game start with minimum.... 12 teams?
or would you start Divisionals with just one Division? ;)

Of course I wish for more, but see how Taca struggled to gather 18 (and I don't think the 32£ were the problem)

I'd be interested and keep my team updated weekly. No preference for a specific date or time for the draft as it's too far away for me to plan around anyway.

I'm going to sit this one out for now - I don't know if I can cope with having so many teams! - but I will follow with interest.

It might be worth a plug in the main fpl sidegames forum to try and pick up some members that aren't already playing draft games and don't check this forum very often.

maybe 1, 2, 3 ?

IIRC in the Hub you can switch teams by Team NAMES, not Leagues?
and as you can't delete the ones from Season 1 (and 2) they'll stick in your teams menu, we must be able to tell one from another
(go figure we manage a team in a "dead" league instead of the current one, lol)

Oh, wait.
I didn't know you can EDIT a team name while the league is underway.
So we just need to "mark" the old ones to avoid continuing to play them by mistake

it could be useful to group leagues by Draft Day preferences, where possible
