i feel like there isn't really a point to the freshman rule. yes, i do understand the rule of having to PLAY a freshman on the active roster for at least four weeks of competition. but, why do we have to have a freshman on our roster at all times? am i only saying this because i have a freshman that's dead weight on my roster? maybe. but also maybe not. the talent pool for freshman who put up great numbers is very limited IMO. is that the point of the rule? to reap the benefits of taking the chance to draft a freshman that puts up the necessary numbers? I love my freshman :-) but you'd have to ask ay2013 for the reasoning |

The freshman rules have always been somewhat controversial. Some love it, some hate it. I'm in the camp that enjoys some of the chaos (used positively) that the rule provides. IMO, so long as a rule isn't inherently unfair and applied equally, it's just what is - part of the game. I've been playing Fantasy for years and I can't recall NOT having some freshman requirement. That being said, any rule can be changed. I thought the easiest thing to get the challengers league off the ground was to arbitrarily set the rules. In the champions league we have PM pages full of rules discussions that require majority votes by the entire league, but I think given how many new people were playing fantasy this year in challengers, opening up all the rules to discussion and voting would be more hassle than it was worth, especially when many of you wouldn't know from the onset the implications of those rules. But if the challengers league wants to self admin next year, you can play by any rules you want, but my question to you specifically would be IF you had a freshman that was producing night in and night out, would you have posted this? |
