Ok, I've switched the league to a $100 league, so all payments will go through the Ottoneu site and be due every Jan 31, just like the former $20 fee. We'll sunset the LeagueSafe buy-in. Thanks for everyone's input. Also, don't forget the arb is due in 3 days. I'll work on getting some arb proxies for our 3 empty slots.

If we are going to maintain the status quo on top 3 payouts, then I think we move toward standardizing the league and move the payouts to Ottoneu. I've heard from most of the league, and the majority are either for the switch or indifferent to it.

Sorry to let this convo lag for a while. WAR, I know you've proposed some alternate payout structures several times, but I haven't seen much traction on it from the rest of the league. I don't remember all of your proposal, but I do remember the monthly payouts and I'm not a fan of that. If you want to propose something, happy to let the league discuss. If there's some consensus on changing to an alternate payout structure, then it makes sense to keep LeagueSafe.

I am good either way. There are some positives and negatives to both cases.

Not bragging here, just saying: I've Commish'd leagues for 25+ years, & if you want to run it like a democracy you'll only ever spin your wheels-- at some point someone has to make a decision for what they want to see from the league/which direction they want the league to go. As far as I'm concerned, going back to Ottoneu payouts is a step backwards.

You'll never find anything that "the whole league likes"- I expressed to PTBNL at the start of the year that (if we stick with LS/Top 3 Payouts) I won't be buying-in at all, ever, b/c that's how much I hate the "Top 3" payouts; so now I'll be "forced" to buy-in again to such payouts w/ Ottoneu. I will *never* be in favor of that.

If the issue is "1st/2nd win less", I say that's the wrong approach- unless the only reason why u r here is for the $$ (then I refer to the 'gaming' issue). But even if that's why u r here, is it better for two people to win more $$ or for 3-4+ of the league's most active/competitive owners to win something instead of nothing? Do you decrease or increase the chance of teams lower in the standings returning if they're compensated just for being active all year?

If you instead incentivize the standings so even someone in last place has a carrott to keep playing and try to get a few more bucks back in his account by working his way up a couple spots, then the people who join the league are more likely to remain competitive all season and stick with the league year after year.

RE: "Gaming" - joining the same league under different ID's/usernames/e-mails as a way to corner the market.
If the issue is to make everyone buy-in, then the only people you care about joining are the ones who'll pay-up instead of the ones who'll play all year. Inevitably the majority of those who pay and are elbowed out of competition in the first-third of the season will probably leave the league in a year or two.Wins Above Reality on October 16, 2024 2:57 PM

Leaguesafe has fees too, though. There are fees to buy-in and to get paid out. If we moved to a different payout structure, then I'd say we keep it. You are welcome to propose alternative league payouts, but I haven't seen a lot of league-wide interest in doing that yet. In general, I think if we get away from the standard payout it's going to be hard to find a payout structure that the whole league likes. Everyone is going to be interested in rewarding different things.
