Personally I would not join, there are a number of things that bug me about the set-up:
- 16 player roster for a dynasty league is very small, too small
- 20yd TD 2 pts, I guess it would be interesting to try, but I don't think I would like it
- Add/drops must be approved by the commissioner - WHY?
- yardage/performance bonuses not being fractions is horrible

and the number 1 reason I would never join the league....
- Playoffs start in Week 15 and last for 3 Weeks - so you play your Championship in week 17

I agree, Its like someone decided that they wanted the oddest possible scoring rules. Hell, if your starting WR goes for 4 catches and 45 yards (something even the best ones do occasionally) you get 0 points.

I don't mind long play bonuses (especially for ST/Def or for Kickers) but that league really rewards randomness (40 yard td worth double a 10 yard?) and seems impossible to really plan.

And yeah, the bench is too short for my liking, especially for dynasty, since there is no room for speculative picks. Hell, my league is 20 with a 4 man taxi and I think its too shallow.

- Add/drops must be approved by the commissioner - WHY?

Because there is a player add fee.

I personally would not join either, but that is simply by preference. There have been many unique leagues that I have played in before and loved it after thinking that I would hate it.

I.

just bc there is an add fee doesnt mean he should have the power to approve adds. it just means he has to be able to know how many each guy did at teh end of teh season and multiple it by $3. im assuming it doesnt really mean approve adds, it just needs to be rewritten. but if it does mean approve adds then wow....talk about a power trip. 'nope sorry dude, you already have a good team, you cant make it better. but good idea, i think ill add that guy....thanks'
