Guillotine league?

[AmbassadorOfKwan 0]

Im sure there are plenty of people here that have already participated in one of these but this is my first year in one and it is interesting to say the least.  Started with a 17 person 16 round draft which was very different from any other draft Ive been in.  Ours is set up where every week the lowest cumulative score is booted out and all of his/her players become free agents.  Start the year off with $100 bid dollars to use in free agency bid plus the possibility of landing some with a zero bid.  Its been very interesting and of course with only 5 weeks left all 5 teams are pretty much loaded to say the least.  Anyone have any interesting rules in a guillotine league you may be in?  Always looking to tweak things to make it more interesting....that includes your mom if necessary.

it sounds interesting but I think its lame to do a league and be out after the first week

Agreed...that is a tweak already being discussed for next year and make it double elimination.  It is definitely interesting especially once you get to the point where folks are low on or out of bid money and the zero bids come into play

I would say something like 5 weeks play in, then elimination starts week 6, this sets up a 12 team league to finish week 16

Be better to not allow any pickups from teams that have been knocked out...

Thats a possibilty and that would change things drastically of course.  My lineup was ok at best until free agency really kicked in.  Funny now that my team is loaded I dont score alot more than I did before.  The joys of fantasy football.

Never heard of this format.  Given the crapshoot nature of FF not sure it's a format I'd want to participate in.  For a format where you can be bounced any given week I'll do a suicide pool.
