Me and armx (Edmonton GM) would like to present an idea to the league and see what the response would be.
We've been considering doing something like this for a while and maybe we can actually get it off the ground.
We want to do a Fantasy Draft EHM league that would go alongside PTPHL, under the same banner, expanding our community alongside PTPHL and the PTPHL Player League. We wouldn't be ending PTPHL, it would run concurrently and we'd stagger the season so that PTPHL's offseason would be the regular season for the fantasy draft league and vice versa. I would be very much involved in the set up and running the draft and making sure everything works smoothly but he would be doing the simming and Commish work.
Here's what we were thinking:
-Fantasy draft 15-20 rounds for each team then auto the rest (maybe take lists or preferences).
-Maybe make some rules such as a team needs to have x amount of veterans (players over 30) or make specific rounds for drafting unranked prospects for balancing purposes.
-Allow teams to relocate WHEREVER THEY WANT. If you want to put a team in Quebec or Seattle, go for it. If you want to play out of some random ass town, feel free, or you can keep the franchise where it is already. You'd have a clean slate to do whatever.
-This league would likely operate within our Discord. We'd have a section for each team to post lines, functions, etc, a section for chatting, trade blocks, announcements and important links to things you need like rosters and calendar.
Obviously, this would take quite a bit of work between getting a file ready and edited and of course setting upthe draft so we'd prepare to launch it in S9, so after next season.
What we need right now is a list of people from PTPHL who would be interested in taking part in this side project. Again, this wouldn't mean our current league ends, this would take part concurrently under the PTPHL banner, through our Discord server, and I would be involved but the main commish work and simming would be done by armx, who does have experience with simming and running leagues in the past.
