Question for those of you who've switched to median scoring:

My league just voted to try it this season. I'm the commissioner, and while I wasn't really in favor of the change, enough people wanted to vote on it, so we did. The majority won.

My feeling has always been that median scoring doesn't really eliminate randomness, it just shifts where the randomness shows up. Instead of bad luck coming from your weekly matchup, it comes from whether you finish above or below the league median so it's fundamentally no different.

We're only using it during the regular season. Once the playoffs start, it'll go back to standard head-to-head matchups.

We're committed to giving it one full season before deciding whether to keep it. For those of you who've actually made the switch, did you end up liking it, or did you regret the change?

Was it worth it in the end?

How many of you play in IDP leagues?

I've been in the same IDP league for 19 years, and honestly it's my favorite fantasy league by a mile. We start 2 LBs, 2 DLs, and 2 DBs, and it keeps everyone engaged with every game all week instead of only paying attention when their offense is on the field.

After playing IDP for this long, standard fantasy almost feels incomplete to me. There's just something fun about knowing a game-changing sack, interception, or tackle can matter as much as a touchdown.

For those of you who have tried IDP, did you stick with it? And for those who haven't, what's kept your league from making the switch?

18 years of paper draft boards and stickers and I'm done. Half the player tags never go on cleanly, stickers fall off mid-draft, team names end up sharpied over half the column. Its a pain in the XXX

My league is somewhat old school. Come with pen and paper cheatsheets. No drafting software to help with picks allowed.

This year I want to switch to some sort of an online draft board so we can stream to a TV. Something bigger and cleaner. The whole league watching one screen instead of squinting at a poster board.

What does your league use? Open to anything that works for live in-person drafts.
