Faceoff wins seems a bit odd.

Wanted something to give the centres an edge.

Shall we replace Faceoff Wins with PIM?

I still say I don't like PIM

or if its a points league, make PIM a negative point, and not a positive.

Should consider Faceoff Losses too then - Wins alone boosts crappy centers too.

I'm fine with or without PIM, but I don't like the idea of negative PIM.

I, too, find faceoffs won kind of odd. It just strikes me as a useless stat (in terms of a pool, that is). I can do without PIM either, though I like it better that FW. If you need another stat for skaters, I'd be inclined to bring in SH stuff - goals, assists or just total points.

i say the idea of negative PIM cuz realistically, a team gets hurt for having players not in the box, they don't win from it.

One advantage of PIM is that it creates interesting trade possibilities, at least in rotisserie, not sure how it works in H2H.

But in rotisserie, it creates the strategic decision of whether to pick up a power forward who will get you points and PIM, or go for a sniper who will give you goals and assists, but low pim, or go for the goon who won't give you goals and assists, but will give you pim.

For game winning goals, look at the stats and decide:

Is it luck, or a sign of skill?

Are shorthanded points really that bad? Doesn't seem too much like luck to me.

What about the draft date?

How about noon EST, Oct 2. Season starts Oct 5.

I'd personally be in favor of shorthanded stats and game-winners, certainly over faceoff wins or percentage and absolutely over PIM.

I'm okay with anything, so long as there's balance. FW with FL, for instance. SH points are more luck than GW points, imo. PIM are, unfortunately, still a part of the game.

I dunno, I think shorthanded goals and game winning goals are more a function of luck.

I'd say GW goals are far more a function of luck. It's a goal that you happen to be on the ice for. A short handed goal requires some measure of skill to intercept a pass (assuming it's not a giveaway) and beat everyone on the other team when you're down at least a man.

That, unfortunately, is true. Which still leaves us wanting for another good stat.

Same with GWG... what, the leaders have 10? Our stats should be something that does occur regularly, though I guess if it doesn't, then it's an extra point.

SOG would definitely have to be reduced if included - .25 per or something.

Rotisserie: 1
Head-to-Head: 4
Points: 3

^^^^ poll results so far.

Noon EST, October 2nd is the current draft deadline, to finish the draft. It's an offline draft, so I guess the best way to do it is for everyone to hammer it out in a thread in draft order. I would say the draft order should be finalized and draft should begin on Sunday, Sept 25th at noon EST. That gives us enough time since people have varying schedules. Is that okay with everyone?

Current league settings:

code:
League ID#: 4355 League Name: Apolyton Password: samurai Draft Type: Offline Draft Max Teams: 20 Scoring Type: Head-to-Head Max Moves: No maximum Max Trades: No maximum Trade Reject Time: 2 Trade End Date: March 9, 2006 Waiver Time: 2 days Can't Cut List Provider: None Trade Review: League Votes Post Draft Players: Follow Waiver Rules Weekly Deadline: Daily - Tomorrow Start Scoring on: Week 1 Roster Positions: C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, D, G, G, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR Stat Categories: G, A, +/-, PPP, GAA, SV%, SHO


Lets get some proposals on stats to remove or add. If you want to remove or add one, make an oldschool in-thread poll. For instance, if I wanted to add GWG, I'd type something like: "Proposition 1: Add GWG". People would then vote yes/no. The next person's suggestion would be Proposition 2, etc.

We could start the draft earlier in September... when does the FA period end? Does it go all the way to a week before the season?

Though that's ok for me. We may have to have a shorter draft time (ie, 12 hours per pick or something).

Draft should definitely start earlier, and we still have a relative overweighting of goalie stats (3 of 7).
