Warrior General Games

So since this forum sucks and all the activity has died out, I had an idea to bring a bit of attention back to the game. Since it is fantasy football season, what would everyone think about GLB2 Fantasy Football?

The idea is that we have a 16 participant pool for players, and you can "draft" a standard roster (QB/2RB/2WR/TE/2DST + 5 non-DST bench players) from the pool of active vet teams. Will run for each ladder game (not league games) and you can set your starting lineup by the night before (12am PST cut off time) and if you don't update your roster before then, you will use the roster you had set last time. Also, to avoid any confusion, there will be no add/drop for FA's, but you can trade players as the season progresses (all required to be approved by commish, etc)

For the points, I am thinking it is a PPR league (pt per rec) and we use standard FF scoring (TD = 6pt, 10yd rush/rec = 1pt, 25yd passing = 1pt, 40+ yd run/rec = bonus 2pt, FG = 3pt, XP = 1pt, etc etc) Someone who's not me will then add up all the points and keep track and we will just do random matchmaking on some bracket website for scorekeeping and win/loss record.

If there's enough interest I will setup the brackets and figure out a program or easy way for us to do the draft, then we will just need one official scorekeeper who is gonna go back double check everyone's scores (I am assuming the only way to do this is to have everyone add up their own scores) Whats everyone think? If you're interested post here and once we hit like 12 or 16 I will get it all started

Roster:
ff
osiris
stobie
irish
dredgar
mutley
xars
jhiggseiu
sov
yentoman

I'm done but won't do scorekeeping

EDIT: Given the time of season I presume that the draft will be in the offseason and it will be for S14?

Keep in mind I keep stats for players, I might be able to leverage the player stats page, to produce a fantasy score, but you will have to give me the values for what. I will have to add a filter to the page for days rather than a full season, but can be done. Shoot me a PM if this is a go/no go so that I can help leverage what we already have

Pretty cool of you to do that.

Why not the framework is there, just have to apply the formulas. Someone still has to do the legwork to calculate the teams, but maybe.... just maybe I can build a fantasy system, one day....

sounds really cool im i if we do it

I'd be in

Very cool idea.

I'm in.

I got tied up on how those cheerleaders effect the fantasy aspect of what I create....

ill be down....

The problem with fantasy leagues in GLB's history has always been the scoring. Given some of the weird stat differences, you really need to develop a custom scoring. Applying standard NFL fantasy football scoring is going to give you some whack imbalances.

I'd recommend using historical data to see what some point totals would be for given players. You can then work on tweaking the scoring system and reapplying those values to the historical data.

hint hint hint, someone give me some formula and you can see what they are via GLB2Scout tool

This was the original scoring from the old fantasy scoring script that pabst wrote for GLB1. Might be a good place to start and should be reasonably in-line with the OP's desire.

function Passing() {
this.completion = 0;
this.attempt = 0;
this.yards = 1;
this.yardMin = 25;
this.touchdown = 6;
this.interception = -2;
this.hurry = 0;
this.sack = 0;
this.sackYards = 0;
this.sackMin = 0;
}

function Rushing() {
this.attempt = 0;
this.yards = 1;
this.yardMin = 10;
this.touchdown = 6;
this.fumble = -1;
this.fumbleLost = -1;
this.brtk = 0;
this.tfl = 0;
}

function Receiving() {
this.reception = 0;
this.yards = 1;
this.yardMin = 10;
this.yac = 0;
this.yacMin = 0;
this.touchdown = 6;
this.fumble = -1;
this.fumbleLost = -1;
this.drop = 0;
}

function Kicking() {
this.fgm = 0;
this.fga = 0;
this.fg19 = 3;
this.fg29 = 3;
this.fg39 = 3;
this.fg49 = 4;
this.fg50 = 5;
this.xpm = 1;
this.xpa = 0;
}

function Punting() {
this.punt = 0;
this.yards = 1;
this.yardMin = 40;
}

function Returning() {
this.kr = 0;
this.kyards = 1;
this.kyardMin = 30;
this.ktouchdown = 6;
this.pr = 0;
this.pyards = 1;
this.pyardMin = 15;
this.ptouchdown = 6;
}



function STDefense() {
this.STtk = 0;
this.STmtk = 0;
this.STFF = 1;
this.STFR = 1;
this.STFRTD = 6;
this.STfum = -1;
this.STfuml = -1;
}


function OffensiveLine() {
this.pancakes = 1;
this.pancakeMin = 3;
}

function Defense() {
this.pcake = 0;
this.tk = 0;
this.mstk = 0;
this.sack = 2;
this.syards = 0;
this.syardMin = 0;
this.hry = 1;
this.tfl = 0;
this.ffum = 1;
this.fumr = 1;
this.pd = 0;
this.inter = 2;
this.iyards = 0;
this.iyardMin = 0;
this.td = 6;
}

hey stobie, appreciate that alot, will make scorekeeping a lot more reasonable. the formula looks pretty good also, if stobie is able to use that one we should be set.

as far as the draft, i am not sure when exactly to have it take place as players are going to be shuffling around a bit and teams will be resetting. maybe last day of offseason? im going to look into some ways to get the draft automated as well, might not be possible but we will see.

going to update the OP with the interested people now to keep track, i guess first 16 to sign up get first crack at it, we will keep the names of the next 4 or so people as "reserves" incase anyone falls off from now and draft time
