Welcome to AWFL 2017! Last year I tried to duck being the commish after organizing, this year I’m just going to do it. We’ll be mostly the same in terms of owners, scoring, roster construction, fees ($50), schedule, play-offs, and prizes. But I will tweak some things based on last year, this survey, and most importantly the final number of owners. We had 12 teams last year and can support a few more or less this year. In large part that depends on draft availability. Despite the conference line and chat rooms, it remains much more efficient to draft together in a war room--or the training room if we can get it. Plus the camaraderie of an in-person draft really gets a season off to a great start. Therefore in doing league construction I will give preference to in-person owners and then those who will have a sub to those who would be remote or asking another owner to draft for them. There will be no auto-drafters. And we’re off! |
