The downside is that if you blacklist too many players then most of the elite teams in the league will look very similar. I think 24 blacklisted players is enough to eliminate most of the OL "cookies" while still allowing enough variety for elite teams.

No offense, Amerk - you're also the dude who did a 6mil league and blacklisted Moses instead of Rice.

If the league is vote is split, how about the guys who want to blackball two can go ahead and do it. Everyone else can blackball one.

Meet in the middle w/36 heads blacklisted...

i like the idea stober started this league when nothing else new was making waves in this forum. i'll stand by his original theme. also have 9.95 to spend to join another league blacklisting more if someone starts it.

So after much thinking, here's what I've decided to do. The first twelve owners (by time of first post) to join will blacklist two players, and the last twelve owners to join will blacklist one player, giving us a total of 36 blacklisted players. I realize many of you joined with the impression that only 24 players would be blacklisted, and I am sorry that I changed my mind in the middle of this.

Alright, Let's do this. (Thanks to sappy, topkat, and amerk1180 for joining. )

Yes I did, but I UNblacklisted him. In my league, we only had 4 blacklisted players, 3 of whom were Ray Allen, Steve Nash and Peja. To add a 4th "shooter" seemed like excess instead of a "big man/rebounder" like Moses to add to Rodman. Plus, in previous incarnations of the same league, MANY more owners used Moses than used Rice. I don't think that was as foolish a choice as you make it sound. That also is saying nothing about Rice's 20 defense rating.

cdstober, so according to the rules I get 2 blacklisted players now, is that correct? I'm not sure who all is already listed but I will add Del Curry to my first selection of Shawn Marion since I know he's the first guy we would both go after in a league like this
