Interested in joining the best of the best? Private L75 is an invitation only league that sports some of the most active and accomplished users in MFN.
If you're...
Tired of inactive owners shuffling in and out...
Tired of breezing your way with a yawn into the post-season...
Tired of being the only one posting elaborate team updates and draft analyses...
And you're...
Ready to grossly overpay for every rubbish free agent that manages to slip his way into the pool...
Ready to watch as every hidden gem in the draft gets snatched right before your pick...
Ready to fight tooth and nail for every win...
Then you may be right for the ‘seven-five’!
If someone is in L75, there's a good chance you'll recognize them from having won the league championship in one of your other leagues. On top of that, our awesome group of users bring the league to life with annual league player awards, draft previews and reviews, frequent team updates, endless banter, and of course eyeballll's famous Funday Night Football posts previewing one of each spin’s upcoming matches.
What we’re looking for:
COMPETITION! This is most important by far. If you’re not a frequent playoff contender in your standard leagues, you’ll likely be in for a miserable time in 75. If you’re not there yet, don’t worry! Keep learning, growing, and once you start wiping the floor with those chumps in the standard leagues, give us a go!
ACTIVITY! While in no way required, a lot of us really love to add a dose of flair with creative and unique forum participation, and we love to see new blood with the same passion for the game as us.
In an effort to ensure that we continue to cycle in only the most hungry and battle ready users, we have recently instituted a new relegation system:
Teams will be assigned or detracted points each season based off their performance. At -10 a team will be ‘relegated’, that is, asked to withdraw from the league and allow a new user to take over their team. While this is naturally a very difficult thing to ask someone to do, it is necessary for L75 to remain the most competitive and elite league there is. By joining the league, you agree to these terms, and agree to surrender your team in good faith if you hit the relegation mark. If you feel that doing so would be too challenging (I know we all can get very emotionally attached to our digital teams and players) then please reconsider submitting to join L75.
The scoring system is as follows:
Finish Over .500: +1
Wildcard: +1
Division Title: +2
Bye/Playoff Victory: +2
Voting In All League Polls (ie MVP): +1
Writing At Least One Team News Segment: +1
Contributing At Least One Major Forum Segment (awards, draft pre/review, FNF, power rankings, etc): +1
Finish Under .500: -1
Finish At Or Under 5 Wins: -1
Finish At Or Under 3 Wins: -1
Finish At Or Under 1 Wins: -2
Finish At Bottom of Division: -1
Three Consecutive Non-Winning Seasons: -1
Four Consecutive Seasons Without Playoff Appearance: -1
Five Consecutive Non-Winning Seasons: -1
Six Consecutive Seasons Without Playoff Appearance: -1
All scoring is cumulative (e.g., if you earn a wildcard AND finish over .500, that would equal +2 total; if you finished at or under 1 win, you would trigger all the preceding negatives for -5, plus an additional -1 if you were also last in your division), and will carry over season to season.
Teams can earn up to a +5 buffer. Please note that you may also earn up to +3 additional points per season through non-competitive means. This can be a helpful way to maintain your point standing even during those painful rebuilding seasons.
As a new player taking over an existing team, you will be granted a one season ‘grace’ period in which you will be immune to any negative point triggers. Any positive points earned will however be added as normal up to the +5 buffer mark.
If after all that, you’re still interested in being part of this league,
please send a PM to both Ares and Mr.Krazy. As this is an exclusive league with all active owners, turnover can be infrequent at times. If you can’t get in right away, don’t worry. Just keep kicking **** and making awesome forum posts and we’ll find room for you eventually. And of course if you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to ask!
