[chadschwarze2]

How would you set up a dynasty league with 8 teams. Ive never done one before and we were thinking of starting one now. Any new ideas and telling me how you dynast league is run would be helpful. Thanks.

I have played in a dynasty league with 8 teams for the past 3 years. Here is the website: http://www.treasurechest.tk

It is a little outdated, but we have all the rules and stuff posted.
We have changed a few of the rules, and it will be fun as long as you have dedicated owners who understand all the rules and scoring. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions.

Witness a dynasty league in that is forming now...

Not all of the decisions we are making right now will apply to you (you may not want to fool with IDPs or utility players, etc.), but I think it would probably be helpful for you to see what types of decisions we are making as a league.

I've been in a dynasty league for 3 years now. I like that we have 12 teams and deep rosters since it makes you really have to pay attention to the future more. For example: I've had Chester Taylor sitting on my bench for 2 years now, just hoping that he gets a starting gig somewhere.

Dynasty leagues can get as complicated as you want them (salary caps, contracts, transaction fees, etc...). I prefer the simpler versions that just keep the rosters from year to year but many people will say that salary caps are the way to go. You just need to hash out all of the possibilities with your league members and try what works best for all of you.

The best thing you can do is keep your rules fluid. Let the league adjust as you guys learn what you like and don't like. That doesn't mean changing rules in mid-season, of course.
