It's a very interesting concept. I think it will be challenging with the low stakes. I think a real high stakes league setup this way with a significant prize pool would do well. I'm talking $10,000+ to the winners. I'd be interested to track the leagues progress though.

I set up the MFL page for this potential new league and I've sent PMs asking for email addresses for those that want to be actual franchise owners, not just coaches/coordinators.

If you would like to actually own a franchise and I haven't messaged you then list your email address and I'll send you an invite.

I thought JGD is setting up the league?

Seems like there's multiple chefs stirring the pot on this one. It's January folks. Focus on getting a GREAT set of Bylaws done. Focus on getting an EXPERIENCED commissioner to agree to take this thing on.

Don't worry about sign-ups or league site. That's putting the cart before horse. Or, for the current generation, the LIKE before the picture or tweet.

JGD and I are doing it together. He's got the rules/bylaws stuff and I'm just adding everything into the league site.

The reason I set up the league site up now is to see who is actually serious about doing this and gauging how many owners we are gonna have. By getting the initial franchise owners in place early in the process it will also allow us to possibly vote on the league settings and everything that comes with it.

It's not like we are aiming to do the startup next week...


PS, it doesn't take 4 months to put together bylaws when you can pick and choose from stuff you find on here.


Edit: I'm sure going with a neutral common would be ideal, I personally just haven't heard of anybody interested as of yet.

Want to throw my hat into the ring to be an owner. I've got a small group of guys that are ready to become my coaches if you add me to your list. I've been playing fantasy football since 1990 and started a Dynasty League in 1994 that is still going strong.

If you have any further questions for me, or would like any additional info, just hit me up.

Thanks,

This is a very interesting idea, but i think the buyin needs to be larger, as many have said before. At 100 buyin with 16 owners, the prize pool is 1600. Most of my leagues the winner only gets like 25-40% of the prize pool, so lets just say the champion gets 50% or 800. If you divide that by 3 (Owner/OC/DC) into a split of 400/200/200, the owner can only really make money if they come first, and even then it's not that much. If second gets 25% or 400 then the split would be 200/100/100? hardly seems worth it to be an owner if coming second you only get 100 extra, but that's just me. The risk vs reward seems small as an owner, and the amount of work you have to put in as a OC/DC doesn't seem worth it either.

I am by no means trying to knock on the league, it is a really cool idea, I was just wondering if someone had thought of this yet? I know many posters have said that the buyin should be larger, just haven't seen many responses to it so far.

I'll agree with this. The idea is certainly fun, but the whole "owner" aspect is being ignored. Having owners who are already ingrained in dynasty seems to eliminate positions. I think the GM/HC/OC/DC's would come from the dynasty world, but I think you could pitch this as an idea to high-rollers as a chance to run something of an organization.

I don't really get the angle of "if there's less money people don't care". Everyone involved here is the sort of person that reads dynasty forums in January. We're all pretty obsessive. I know I don't put in less effort to cheaper leagues. I want to do well everywhere.

Pretty much.

I'm certainly not in a place financially to drop 1k on a league, and as this is my baby...

So, I have registered with MFL and have entered the league as the owner of Franchise 4, now known as the Minnesota Snowmen!

I'm curious about how owners will be able to link up with potential GMs, coaches, etc. as I have many FF friends I could bring into the fold but no one I know has much experience with IDP or salary cap so I will be in the market for at least one person with such knowledge to help steer the ship.

Howdy all!

Coogan and I had some silly miscommunications and he jumped the gun a bit.

No owners have been decided yet, and no owners will be decided until the bylaws are fully intact (we're awhile away from that) and until the site is fully operational. I have been keeping a running list of people with interest and when I'm confident I've set the league up, I will send out emails/PMs asking for a brief résumé for owners. With so many moving parts in the league, I want to do my due diligence in ensuring that everyone in the league will be involved and dedicated.

Thanks for your patience, interest, and input as this ball has begun rolling; I look forward to making this happen.

All the best,
JGD

My PMs don't work so I'm not sure what was sent to me.

Anyway, this sounds awesome. Love the creativity and the broad lineup requirements. Count me in.

I'm gonna tweak a few things and get one of these going myself. This idea is awesome and there's no reason we can't get a few leagues like this going, if anything we can run it as a 1-year trial and see how the structure works with having so many people including in running each team.


If you are a veteran on here and want to take on ownership of a franchise then send me a PM with your email or list it below.


*I also need a few owners to participate in running the league, my idea is to have 2 others help me and run this collectively- as a democracy so to speak.
