Someone is gonna get that game going with a signup thread?

Yeah I think I'll get something up soon. We had a draft and a playoff in progress, both of which should finish today.

Whatever it is, the next game probably needs to be relatively straightforward. There's a lull in participation right now, and the more unusual twists have a harder time than usual drawing good numbers. Even if I enjoy the idea (like this one), it's just a lot more fun with 15 or 16 drafters, and the hybrid system is less satisfying to me than full playoffs.

what a 2019 game be too simple? maybe with an and one? I would also like to try dr. P suggestion of a 6 round draft with a free p
ick 15 SGA limit in one round for the bench you could choose that in any round I think it would add to the strategy and possibly even increase the importance of the bench

I agree something simple would probably be best. 16 man games are the most fun, and the complex games generally draw limited interest. We could even start recycling things like the single division games or easier concepts like that. Many of those games were played several years ago, so a couple of new seasons will spice up the pools a bit.

If you're looking at infrequent players, my guess is they'd be most comfortable with 2019. But I'm up for whatever.

I'm totally cool with a 2019 only game, I was just speaking in general for the future to keep interest high.

I wanted to do 1 MVP with no other restrictions. But I actually like a cap of around 12 players for that. I guess even with a full group the 16-20th best MVPs are still good

Another Steal draft would be interesting. The one where you can steal one player once from someone else.

Do you mean players who played in 2019 but you can use any season for them?

The weaker MVPs should end up with the stronger non-MVPs and third bananas, so I don't think a cap is necessary.

2019 season. Don't think there's a clear cut best player - in earlier years whoever got LeBron had a big advantage.

What I was going for is a pool with more elite MVPs than players, so it becomes viable to not use yours until later in the draft, and people would decide how much getting their guy is important. But even with 16 the floor is players like Walton and Giannis

How about the 2019 season be the general pool, excluding MVP's. You can then pick one MVP from any year.

We did a 2019 season draft already.

[goober]

We could do an 80s to now draft

[Dr Positivity]

Actually now that I look at it, the 16th best MVP is more like Dr J or Kobe, I think that's fine

I don't mind it, but I'm happy with the simplicity of the only rule being 1 MVP

Same here. Using the 2019 season makes it too similar to the And 1 game.
