Hey, being caught up with school, work, and fantasy football, I missed the start of the fantasy hockey. Recently I started up a league with a few friends. Being late, its been tough to get people. I made the league public but its been tough to get people, likely due to its unconventional scoring system and low number of players. I have 3 members currently with a few friends that have yet to sign up. I'm hoping to get 8-12. I'm sure people will snowball in as more people join. No one wants to join a 3 person league. But we'll have at least 6 or so guaranteed. With just a few more unexpected players we could have a nice league with a system I find innovative and more realistic. Sure, you'll see the goalies get extremely fluctuating numbers of points positive and negative, but with a full three lines, just as in real life you'll have the opportunity to make up for bad goaltending by upping the scoring. If you're missing either element, you're pretty screwed, just as in real life. Check it out. I could use some smart people who won't quit midway through. The more competitive the individuals, the more competetive and fun the league will get.
Here's the set-up:
C: 3
LW: 2
RW: 2
F: 2
D: 6
G: 1
IR: 1
Bench: 6
Goals: 4 points
Assists: 3
+/-: 2
GWG: 2
F-O W: .5
F-O L: -.5
Hits: .5
Blocks: .5
GOALIES, where it varies from most leagues, putting a lot of pressure on the (usually) most important man on the ice. Despite the extreme points given and taken from goalies, with three full lines of players, you have plenty of guys to pick up the slack.
Wins: 1
Losses: -1
GA: -10
Saves: 1
I encourage anyone who knows their stuff or is looking for a fresh challenge to check it out.
