Weird rules in your fantasy league

[4T2]

Inspired by the video posted below, do you have any weird rules and/or prizes in your fantasy leagues?

This guy had to recreate a music video for finishing last in his fantasy football league. The video was chosen by the winner.

Not my league, but this one is pretty brutal...

Wow, I expected weird keeper rules or cap requirements. That was... eye opening.

I was going to add that my dynasty league has a rule that just states "No exploitation of rules loopholes." Which in itself is vague enough that sometimes we have to debate what constitutes a loophole. But after that video... Dang. I guess we need to get weirder.

The loser in our NFL draft has to wear a hoola skirt and coconut bra and is responsible for serving drinks at the draft the following year.

Haven't really seen too much in NHL but to this day.....Errors in a MLB league......every frigging year I give the commish $hit for this and he doesn't budge.

In my dynasty league we have to honor NHL contracts and players cannot be dropped without buyout penalty. This includes LTIR guys like Pronger who is still occupying an IR spot to this day. Silly rule.

My brother put together an MLB points league a couple years back. He didnmt really think it through, and counted defensive assists as 1 point (for reference a HR was 1.5 and a K was 0.5). He thought it was a good idea to give guys like Bautista a little boost for their great arm in the outfield, but didn't think about the infield assists. So I won by a mile with a stacked team of SS that had OF eligibility. It was a money league too. I haven't really been part of any crazy bits like tootoos or tattoos though.

Hahaha that is friggin awesome! I like the idea of punishments for the last place GM. Definitely a good incentive to not tank.

Yeah, fantasy hockey doesn't seem to lend itself to odd rules the way NFL and MLB do.

That's a tough one to swallow. Is that the UHL?

Yeah, exploiting rules like that almost makes it too easy sometimes doesn't it haha.

Interesting timing... The Chive just had a good feature on some fantasy football punishments for losing.

I’m in a baseball league that has a ton of categories:
Runs (R), Hits (H), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Walks (BB), Batting Average (AVG), On-base + Slugging Percentage (OPS), Extra Base Hits (XBH), Double Plays Turned (DPT)

Wins (W), Saves (SV), Hits (H), Total Batters Faced (TBF), Earned Runs (ER), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP), Strikeouts per Walk Ratio (K/BB), Strikeouts per Nine Innings (K/9), Pitch Count (PC), Quality Starts (QS)

Other than that we do a “Keep 4, or keep 5 and forfeit your first round pick. If you’ve traded your first round pick the season before, you auto can only keep 4”. Adds a bit to pre-thinking your keepers vs who you’ll draft.
