Starting with the NCAA tournaments in March gives you roughly this schedule NCAAM and W Baseball Premier League Football Hockey Basketball NCAAF throw in random pick ems throughout Which ends with the NBA season roughly in April, so you're on a 13 month cycle This gives a good starting point with a bracket that is easy to fill out, and then having baseball for the summer with various UFC events gives you a nice slow start that starts ramping up August-October draft wise, and lets you end with NBA and NHL so that two big sports helps determine the winner Alternatively, start with the baseball draft at the end of March and save the NCAA brackets for the back end, so you have a frantic finish that could drastically change the winner My two cents would be that you start small and add more in as required. Like Premier League, NFL, Hockey and Basketball all run at the same time. Can people even juggle 4 leagues at the same time? At least NFL is only like 1-2 times a week tinkering. Premier League is similar. Basketball though? I've only done daily fantasy with Basketball, I assume a full fantasy schedule with basketball requires a lot more attention. Actually maybe that's a compromise. Instead of doing full fantasy drafts for the full season. Maybe you have a set slate of daily fantasy matches instead with points awarded for position each week (10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > etc). That would mean you could add in or reduce number of games as required if people felt there was too many or too few. There would also be the added bonus of people not being completely fucked by a bad draft or injury. If people missed a week it wouldn't be too devastating either and you could kinda replace people mid season if you had to. Like maybe week 1 you go we are doing: Sat games - Premier League Sunday games - NFL Wednesday game - Basketball Or maybe you don't do each sport each week. Maybe you say this week it's Soccer + Football. Next week it's Basketball + Hockey. Third week its Football + Basketball. Etc. <cite>ShatteredElysium posted [p:926369570] in Gauging in...
