Close Calls

Miller · 04-27-2006, 07:00 PM

Attention Outlaws, the well know forum staple in the Fantasy Football community to moving to SportsOutlaw this year! Miller_Time's original "Close Call" series will start here at SportsOutlaw on Monday, May 8th. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this series, here is how it will work:

Twice a week I will start a new "Close Call" thread. Each thread will ask a simple question, if you had to choose on draft day between these two players, who would you pick. Simple as that.
The players chosen for each match-up will be players of the same position that has a similar ADP and value is seen as similar by many. The value in these threads comes in the discussion. Give the reason why, debate it, back it up with facts, throw those stats around. If everyone does this, we will have a series of great player debates that will be a great tool that will help you evaluate players come draft day for your league.
The player with the most votes will be the winner of that close call. Threads and results for the series will be tracked in a master thread through the summer by Mike.
For each selection use the following scoring format to base your selection on.
- 6 pts all TD's
- 1 pt 25 pass yds
- 1 pt 10 ru/rec yds
- -2 pt INT/Fumble lost
- .5 pt per rec
Each Pick should be based on a re-draft set-up
So, Starting May 8th, be sure to check for this exciting new feature in the Fantasy Football Forum.

Been talking to you about this for a while and I can't wait to get started with it. Looks like something we should all enjoy and learn from.

As a past prticipant in these threads all I can say is.

Mike · 04-28-2006, 03:12 PM

Awesome, we got a "close calls" veteran here, that should help get things kick started.

superdave · 04-28-2006, 03:13 PM

I can't wait. Seems like a great idea to build a foundation of knowledge while having some fun.

Mike · 04-28-2006, 03:22 PM

Yes, I have a spot reserved on the home page to list these as we go, so hopefully we will get some influence from a few guys and gals we are unfamiliar with.

This can be a very helpful tool for all of us in our upcoming drafts. The more participation, the better.

freyguy · 04-28-2006, 09:11 PM

Very nice.

Mike · 04-28-2006, 11:20 PM

It will be great.

Mike · 05-02-2006, 02:37 PM

Dont forget everybody, we are starting this on Monday...

He Miller, will it be Monday Morning or Evening? I'm gonna be stuck typing with one hand by then so I may need all day to do my responses.

Miller · 05-02-2006, 03:44 PM

Hopefully Monday morning, it may very well be Sunday night as well. I have more time most evenings so I may post it the evening before.

Miller · 05-02-2006, 03:45 PM

Also, any requests anyone has, list them here or PM them to me. I will do my best to include them if i think they will make a good match up.

Spread the word on these. The more participation we get, the more valuable the series will be.

Close calls will deal with current football players and their impact fantasy wise in the upcoming year. players that had similar stats last year will be matched up and posters will debate/argue over which on will do better this year and why.
