Fantasy Football time!

[Whee]

It's that time of year again.

Will the Smokin' Hotties repeat?

I have sent an email to all the participants of the league last year.

You guys get first crack to rejoin. On August 7th, I will open the league to anyone who wants to join to fill the empty spots.

I changed some of the points and positions, so make sure you returning managers look it over.

This is the link to last year's. Same buy in rule applies, but ignore the Yahoo settings.

Post up when you register and for those of you who want on a waiting list, post that up so we can go first come first served if needed.

Oh yeah, The Commish received a bribe after last season, so beware!!

Thanks Smokin H, er I mean, annonymous league member:r

Ok, seriously Sean, I have to regrettably back out of this year's league. This fall is shaping up to be a torrent of work & home-related activities that are going to restrict my participation. Besides, I gotta give myself a break from the stress of Fantasy Football!

Last season was great fun, and I have to say to all the guys/gals that might participate: Sean does an excellent job as Commissioner. The point system is a blast--and Defensive scoring was very new to me--so every week was a challenge, but one of those "oh, cool!" challenges. :tu Get in on this league if you can; if you love FF, you'll have a good time. Unless you f*k up your draft, like Bao did. :r

Please use the following list to post your CA name and your team name. I believe I have one more opening, just want to make sure. I am looking at setting the draft to on in the middle of next week. Keep checking the league page for updates.

Last year was my first using IDPs, and it made me a believer in the format especially the way Sean has the scoring set. Adds a whole 'nuther level to FF.

[Whee]

Somebody made the suggestion to go to a 5 stick buy in. I am ok with that unless there objections.

Hang on to the sticks, we will do like last year and send them to the winner at the end of the season. Worked out fine last year.

BTW, I believe we have our 10 teams!

Thanks to those on the waiting list for your patience.

[Starscream]

Any date on a draft yet, Sean? No rush, just curious.

Looking at next Thursday. Still have one team confirmed but not yet signed up, hoping they get in by tomorrow.

I would not worry about it being before Thursday, and I am looking at doing it late night.


Remember gang, I lock everyone out before the draft so there are no draft squatters. I am hoping we can unlock on Sunday or Monday. stay tuned for further details.

Edit: Check the league board. LOL, I forgot I posted that info late last night.:r:r

If you make it after 10pm, would you consider moving to Friday rather than Thursday? I missed last year's draft and was hoping to be involved in this one. I'm just one of ten though. What works for the majority is fine with me.

You don't have to anything but pre rank your players. Yahoo will take care of the rest.

Question?
I just looked at the roster. Why are there so many idp's that we start?

[Whee]

Question?
I just looked at the roster. Why are there so many idp's that we start?

Commish's preference.:D

I have always liked having individual defensive players, while others thinks that it takes away from the game. Yahoo over the last two years have started to add more and more positions to the game, and I have followed along to try to keep it like an actual team.

More individual players also makes it more challenging to manage.

[Starscream]

Question?

We played that way last year. I liked it.

[SaltyMcGee]

We played that way last year. I liked it.

I get using a few, but there are 10 defensive starters vs. 7 offensive. It just seems a little unbalanced. :2


EDIT: there are 8 offensive starters, forgot about the kicker.

Either way I'm excited about playing!

[Starscream]

I tweaked the settings. I added a WR/RB/TE multi position and eliminated 1 each from the CB and S positions. Took the two eliminated positions and made them bench spots, so you now can have 8 guys on the bench.

Alright! We have our full complement of 10 teams, so I will be locking out everyone at 11pm EST on Thursday and set the draft to on.

Once it runs, I will post here and at the league, the unlock time. I imagine it will be Sunday or Monday.

Good luck!!

That's what happens when too much alcohol is consumed. We learn new words.:D

[Whee]

Just a little reminder the league will be locked out around 11pm tonight.

When I say locked out, all that means is you can not trade, drop or pick up players. You can still rank your players right up til Yahoo snags the league for the auto draft.

The plan will be to unlock the league on Sunday afternoon. Keep looking for post with more details.

[Whee]

Draft is set to "ready". The draft could complete any time in the next 48 hours, so keep checking in.


Good Luck!

[Whee]

Only took 90 minutes. Draft is done. All you can do is,ad mire your teams. I will post up the unlock time tomorrow.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Whee]

Ok, so I will unlock the league at 2:30pm EST on Sunday 9/5. This means at that time you will be able to drop players, pick up players, trade, whatever you want.

Except for Sidney Rice being out for the first 6 games, my team looks pretty good this year!

Looks like we will have only 1 undefeated team after tonight.

[Starscream]

My picks suck this year...

D-Will and J-Stew for Carolina have been utterly worthless this year w/o Gamble.
Dez Bryant has been decent, but horrible for my fantasy team... To many bye weeks have hurt me too early on.


I guess it's finally time to drop Sidney Rice too...

[Whee]

Just a friendly reminder the Thursday games start this week.:D

[WyGuy]

Wow, Vick is putting up some serious points...too bad it's against my team!

[Starscream]

I was ahead this week until two bastrads from the Philly defense took me out...:sad

[Whee]

Well, here we are, four weeks left and a four way tie at the top of the league.

Thought it would be a good time to post the rules regarding ties...I use Yahoo's method, which is the team with the higher point total wins. If that ends in a tie, (please God, no:r) then we'll look at head to head.

Good luck!

[tenbaseg]

I fought hard this season but couldn't put it together. Good luck to the top 4.

[Starscream]

Not that it does me any good at this point, but I won two weeks in a row? Wow. Just wow.

[jquirit]

Lesse... you got a whole bunch of 11 win teams and a bunch of 10 win teams. Some of the 10 win teams are playing 11 win teams. Win out, and force it to go to points! :)

Good luck this week!

Ok fellas, will announce the winner as soon as it has been decided. Still missing a few of you on this list above, if you could, add your team name and CA name so we can PM you with shipping details.


Same as last year, winner will be announced. winner will then PM all other team owners with shipping info. Team owners will then ship 5 sticks to winner.

Winner will post periodic updates here, so we can keep track who has and has not paid up.

Communication is the key. If something gets in the way, or you are unable to keep your obligation, let me and the winner know.

Thanks for playing. Next year we will make changes to some things, and I am sure Yahoo will also have some changes for us as well.
