I know I don't play, but here's a rule tweak for 2011, from what I've been told from people playing about their rosters:
Only allow one player per IFL team per weekly roster. Make 'em work a bit...

I agree. And, the way things are going so far we need a rule that Chris Dixon can't be picked. It isn't very interesting when just about everyone picks the same QB.

I was thinking the same thing for Dixon. I like exit's rule tweak as well. How about we institute that starting in Week 5 to give people time to adjust? Let's also put it up to vote so that we have the majority in agreement.
PROPOSED RULE CHANGE #1: Chris Dixon is no longer part of the contest and is exempt from being picked. He's far and away beating all others at his position and is likely to do so for the whole season. No fun in that.
PROPOSED RULE CHANGE #2: You can only pick one player per IFL team.
For those playing, Micah and I are for it so far. How about Hillthom71, muttin247, kratos, generalpatten72, beefstrip19, kaligurls, and CF4L?
I'll PM those 7 from Admin as well in case they don't read this.

Just throwing it out there... if we only did the "one player per team" rule... it may help with the "Dixon" rule on its own... since people would have to choose which SF player more carefully rather than just filling up their roster with Storm players.

No, I don't like the "can't use Dixon" rule. I'd rather see that changed to a "you can use any player a maximum of 5 times" or something to that effect. Dixon *is* an IFL player, so it's not really appropriate to totally exclude just him since he's better than everyone else.
But what do I care, I don't play.

I would think that limiting to one per team would eliminate Dixon on some of them - James Terry's getting a slew of points as a receiver, too.

It looks like the Dixon rule will be voted in unless the last two people vote against it.

Looks like that rule has been voted down, surprisingly to me. It seems no one wants to be limited on who they can choose, but most agree Dixon at QB for everyone is kind of lame. Oh well.

If we did this one, it make take care of the "issue".

We had one person change their mind on Rule Change #2 (I heard money changed hands under the table...lol).
We have two people left to cast their vote.
Current vote results:
PROPOSED RULE CHANGE #1 (can't used Dixon): YES - NO - Abstain 4 - 2 - 1
PROPOSED RULE CHANGE #2 (can only pick one player per IFL team): YES - NO - Abstain 3 - 3 - 1

Voting Results
Everyone has voted and the following was decided on each proposal:
Rule Change #2 was shot down with a 3-5-1 (yes-no-abstain) majority.
Rule Change #1 was adopted with a 6-2-1 (yes-no-abstain) majority. Starting in Week 5 (25 March)...not this week, no one can select Chris Dixon as their QB. In what will forever be known as the DIXON RULE, Chris and his team have shown he will be too dominant for our fantasy challenge and that we're wasting a position if everyone is picking the same person.

As an aside though, next year the fantasy challenge will feature the rule of only picking one player per IFL team each week. It really is a great rule and will make the contest more fun if you think about it.
