Questions
Target Draft Date —> August 15 - September 7
Q: Does everyone agree on this?
We will need to poll individuals for draft availability.
Thoughts on whether to poll now and creating the leagues OR wait
to poll until late July (let’s say) and then publish the leagues
and draft dates in early August?
Q: TRADITIONS!!! Fun!!!
~ Trophy for winner? (mini helmet type trophy??)
~ Lesser prizes for division winners and total point winners?
~ Toilet Trophy? Punishments??
Q: championships ~ yes
“Chumpionships” or consolation finals?
IMEO — Although this lengthens the season for everyone, not just
those in playoffs, my experience has been that most participants
who don’t make playoffs are ready to be done and don’t put forth
enough effort to make it worth while.
I just love the word Chumpionhips though!!
Q: Playoff Schedule
Choices I suggested - any others?
1 ~ Standard/Shortest Regular Season - 4 teams & 4 weeks
[championship games each last 2 weeks: IVE NEVER PLAYED THIS
WAY]
2 ~ Most Teams Advancing - 7 teams over 3 weeks. [over 50% make
the playoffs, different but neat]
Three divisions, winner of each division
Two wild card, from any division just the next two best
teams in terms of W/L ratio
Two top scoring teams in total points (those not already
in playoffs).
Top seed team gets a bye week. Only one team gets a bye
week.
3 ~ Longest Regular Season - 4 Teams & 2 Weeks
****3a: Division Winners and Wild Card
OR
****3b: 2 Division Winners & 2 Top Scoring Teams
The answers to these final questions should outline the basic
makeup of the Leagues.
Q: Thoughts on a “SuperBowl-like” event — the four winners go
against each other week 17 (adding in their points from week 16)
for an ultimate champion?
Finally my two cents ~ if they are worth even that!! lol
I think we need to make sure we are not getting ahead of
ourselves.
Individuals have expressed interest. This is very different than
having a solid 48 people signed up, paid, & begging us to draft
immediately.
I think we can make a plan that will handle up to 48, without
creating a situation where we HAVE to have 48. We don’t want to
make promises or obligations.

First of all, fantastic work Melissa, thankyou...
For me..
Q6 - I like those dates..... I would like to run the poll now
and just get a feel for it and see what the trend says... we
would still have the final say on the dates/times, the poll is
just a guide
Q7 - Mini Helmet (Custom EFL) I love.... Lesser Prizes for
Conference winners I like... Loser prize and punishment I
like.... Personally i'd like to go with the following:
* Super Bowl Champs .. A choice of Either 1
x Jersey (valued at $150), or, 1 x Foorball, + A custom EFL mini
Helmet ($40) - Total Cost $190
* Conferences Winners .. A choice of either
a conference winner custom mini helmet, or, another prize (TBD)
of same value (approx $40 x 2 winners) - Total Cost $80
* Loser Award.... Item TBD... (Approx $20 x
2 winners - 1 per conf) Total Cost $40
Total Costs $310... (Buys in at $30 = $360
Revenue)... Last $50 of Shipping/other Prizes
* Eaglefin Bowl.... Unique EFL Custom mini
($40) using $10 from each of the 4 leagues to cover the coast..
(leaving $40 per league for other prizes/shipping)
Q8 - I like Champions as above... Consolation playoffs but with
no prizes
Q9 - See picture below... i think this is great... half the
teams make playoffs... top seeds get a week off, 3 weeks of
games.... i would fight for this most out of any of the
questions so far. The only thing i dont know is .. Can that
system take the top 3 form 1 Conference and the top 3 from
another conference or if there has to be no conferences to run
this playoff system
Q10 - I like the idea of an overall champion with the 4 league
winners competing.... The :EAGLEFIN BOWL"
I dont think we are ahead of ourselves... we dont post it, it
will never be anything more than "expressions of Interest". I've
been quite clear on the FB page and my latest video that we are
aiming for 4 leagues but that is on a supply & demand
provision... We cannot answer that question until we post spots
for sale...

My responses:
Q1 - poll later. Too early. Too many only causes confusion. Poll
later.
Q2 - Trophy for winner, box of cards for division winners and
total score winner, maybe hanger type box of cards for wild card
and second top scorer. Toilet Trophy at least for the loser -
personally a funny video would be fun!!
Q3 - no consolation rounds. Only playoffs
Q4 - playoffs - I’m good with either #2 or #3b. I think 7 out of
12 teams is a lot, but for beginners it may be neat. Although
there are people that start to wane near the end.
Q5 - EagleFin SuperBowl would be cool. Each league would pitch
in like $30 or so for prizes, something like $50, $25, $15 Break
credit with Gary.
I think Four helmets only. One for each league winner. That’s
it. It needs to be special unique, like the Trophy. Only one per
league.
I think when we are ready for signups, early August, we can
announce the prizes.
I think when we poll the end of July, we announce that the
expressed interest would create four separate leagues, with four
separate draft dates.
That picture is incorrect, as I discussed 7 teams, so only one
would have a bye week. With 7 teams in the playoffs, that would
allow 3 divisions.
One winner of each division, two wild cards with the best W/L
ratio from any of the three, and the top two total points winner
from any division.

Q 6, the later the better because we do not know what is going
to happen right now.
Q7. we should have it chosen what the prizes are.
I like the jersey idea better myself for a SB champ. plus a mini
helmet trophy.
I also like the Idea of a pack of cards from a nice box of cards
like a $30 pack.
Toilet bowl trophy would be nice also.
Q8. We could do a consolation Champions prize, maybe get a
blaster box with 8 packs and give the winners 2 packs each. cost
should be about $20 for box plus $3 shipping each so $32 total.
just throwing that out there.
Q9 playoffs, 6 teams would be better to get more people involved
and keep people into it. 2 divisions winners if we go that route
and the next 4 best records. Highest scoring team should be in
the top half of the league if not the are the unluckiest person
ever.
Q10 I like the idea of an overall Eaglfin superbowl champion
with all 4 league winners going for an overall champion. But if
we do that i think it should be on week 16. So playoffs for
leagues would be week 13,14,15. To many good players get sat on
week 17. We would probably have to do hand scoring that week.
One of us could do it and have someone proof read the results
and double check the scoring before posting.
I also feel we should be ready for less than 48 people but do
not go over that even if we have another 12,24,48 people who
want in. 4 Leagues max but be ready if we only have 2 or 3.

ok so an updated summary from the 3 replies so far ( i think we
are now all close to being on the same page)
..
Q6 DRAFT Times/Dates/Polls
Unless Gary/Jared are any different, looks like we are waiting
on posting the "draft time polls".
If the suggested draft dates are to be held between Aug 15 - Sep
20, can I suggest Polls are posted on Sat Aug 1st and open for 3
days. On the Aug 4th we collate the data, with the plan of
releasing the times ready for sale by Aug 5th?
[u]Q7 - PRIZES (12 spots @$30 gives up $360 to spend)[/u]
* League winner = Custom EFL Mini Helmet ($40) +
Jersey ($150) - Total $190
* Div Winners (x3) = $30 worth of card packets each
(product to be determined) - Total $90
* Last in league = Toilet trophy - $20
* Eaglefin Bowl - $30 donation from each league -
Total $30
* Postage $30
Total League cost $360
Q8- Playoff Structure
Having re-read, I too am happy with option #2. Again unless
Gary/Jared are totally against that model I think we can lock
that in too.
OTHER
I am much more confident that every else in filling 4 leagues,
however when we do roll out sales perhaps we advertise two
leagues first, if they sell out then roll out leagues 3 & 4 one
at a time dependant on demand?
Also see attached a draft of a "customer facing" rule sheet
without all of our internal notes included.
