Our draft is coming up soon but I wanted to let everyone know about a few last minute changes to the 3FL as we start our third decade.
We
voted to keep a 13 game regular season, but it turns out that the NFL
has pushed bye weeks all the way into week 14 of their schedule. This
would put our playoff semifinal teams at risk of having to rely on bye
week fill-ins in the first week of the postseason. That seems like a bit
of an unfair draw. So we're going to expand our regular season to 14
games.
With this change also comes the
contraction of divisions from four to three. It makes sense to still
play your divisional foes twice and everyone else once, and three
divisions will allow us to keep that schedule structure. We're using the
same draft order from our annual meeting so we'll have the following
divisions for 2021:
EAST
Renegades, Baltimorons, Phys. Ed. Phenoms, Marauders
WEST
Stiletto Stompers, Dumbbums, Misfits, Inc., Predacons
NORTH
Yuengling Brewers, Lightning, the HAW, Spiked Vipers
Since
we're changing things at the core of the league it makes sense to also
implement any other changes at the same time. The threshold for rules
modifications has historically been 60% of the votes, but we're going to
enact the two questionnaire items from this season that reached a
simple majority.
So we're replacing a WR spot with a FLEX position
(WR/RB/TE), and kicker points will now be tiered based on distance (3,
3, 3, 4, 5). A missed kick from more than 50 yards is now worth -1.
It should be an interesting start to our third decade of fantasy football. Good luck this season!
