Read the Week 1 Recap

We didn't see until after the weekend that Grantland.com updated (and clarified) many of their rules. Those are now up-to-date on this blog. Unfortunately, we have to create a head-to-head format... which I wasn't counting on. Since there is a 15 week season... each team will play the others twice... and we need to randomize week 1. I did so in Excel, using the random number formula (multiplied by 100) and then just paired everyone in order of their numbers.

Random... and not in the Litman / Smithkey way.

If you read the rule addendum, you'll see that the top 4 teams who make the playoffs will hold a re-draft. I'm not sure exactly how that will go down, but Grantland will tell us later in the season.

---------------------------------------------------------
Rules
DPT is trying out a newly invented "Bad Quarterback League," founded by Grantland.com. The idea is to draft shitty quarterbacks, and you earn points from them fucking up on and off the field. We randomly picked a draft order and used the standard snake-draft to select 4 teams each. When you select a team, you get all of their quarterbacks.

Each person starts two teams every week. You can not start a team more than 11 times, and you must start each team at least 4 times.

Points are earned (and lost) based on the weekly performance of each starting team's quarterbacks on the field. Also, points are earned for ANY quarterback's miscues off the field, regardless of starting status. As Grantland put it: "...every QB on your roster is eligible for 24/7 points. That means even if you didn't start the Seahawks on Sunday, you still get the 150 points when Tarvaris Jackson's penis appears on a blog on Tuesday."

All scoring and decisions are determined by Grantland.com. We're just simply checking their blog each week and update our own stats as they apply. Everyone in the league is putting in $10. Winner take all.

New Rules and Clarifications
(as added by Grantland on 9/9/2011)

Regular Season Scheduling: This league has a 15-week regular season of head-to-head match ups. So if you have started your own, you have to set a schedule for your league. At the end of the 15 weeks, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs. 

Playoff Scheduling: Before Week 16 of the regular season, there is a redraft in which the top four teams draft from the teams that did not survive the cut after week 15. Keep in mind, these last two weeks of the regular season anything can happen, especially with teams that have secured a playoff spot and/or home-field advantage. More details will be provided as we get closer to this, you know, actually happening. 

Apology Press Conferences: If an apology comes during a regularly scheduled press conference (for example: after a game, during a weekly chat with reporters on a non-gameday), you get no points in the BQBL. Holding a special press conference for the purpose of apologizing does. If a quarterback generically says he’s sorry while he stands half-naked in a locker room after a loss, his mea culpa does not qualify. If he says he is sorry while he wears a pinstriped suit in front of a courthouse after a preliminary hearing, it does. We will make the final call in this matter, and it will be clear in the scorecard. 

The Terrelle Pryor Rule: Larry Bird had his own exception, Tom Brady has a case, and now Terrelle Pryor has his own rule: No quarterback’s suspensions that were handed out before the draft will count toward that teams score. 

“Benched” Scoring: If your team’s quarterback led his squad to a 30-point lead and does not take the field for the final drive because the coach does not want to risk him being injured, your team scores no points. Your quarterback needs to be benched because of their poor play. If this is confusing to you, then you really don’t understand the core values of the BAD Quarterback League. 

Starts Per Team: You can start a team no more than 11 times a season and no less than four. You can not start a team during their bye-week.


Concussion Points: As of 9/13/11... there will no longer be points for concussions.

New Rules and Clarifications Starting Week 4

QB sacked for safety - 20 points: Safety sacks are the quarterback’s fault. If you are playing QB and you are standing on painted grass, you should either throw the ball immediately or spike it and celebrate a touchdown. These points will not be counted retroactively. Sorry, Jaguars and Panthers owners.
QB fumble returned for TD - 10 points: This was another oversight. The only thing better than watching a 350-pound lineman jiggle his way into the end zone is watching him celebrate it. The only thing better than that is celebrating it yourself, because you just scored 10 BQBL points.

If you have 3 teams on a bye week at the same time, you start only one team that week: I know this is rare, but each league is its own unique snowflake, and we have gotten this question a few times. Most teams score positive BQBL points each week, so this will likely hurt a score rather than help it. To be clear: That still does not mean you can start your team during a bye week.
