ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FANTASY FOOTBALL?

This league WILL be an autopick draft, no if's and's or but's about it. If you are new to fantasy football, this will generally insure that you get at least a few decent players. 14 spots are open, more can be created, or I can create a second league with less per league, or finally, I can drop the number of teams down if there isn't enough interest.

League is at Yahoo:

Fractional points will be used. That means (for instance) if your QB passes for 22 yards, he will get 1.1 points. 1 for 20 yards, and .05 per yard (there's the "fractional" bit) over that 20. Got it? Good. If you don't you'll understand after the first week for certain!

Okay, so I messed up. I'm half in the bag, didn't notice my wife was signed into yahoo, and signed up under her account. That wouldn't matter, but I don't have her password. So I signed up again under my own. The 'real' team is mine, if you can, delete the other.

My bad. I am going to get another beer and a shot of jagr.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #4 on:** July 22, 2005, 09:30:56 pm »

LMAO! I was gonna ask if that was your wife playing or what....and then I'd have rigged it so she woulda kicked your arse on a regular basis week in and week out

Sure, it wouldn't be fair and whatnot, but it'd be funny as all get out.....for tommy, at the VERY least!

Hey tommy, were you able to get the password entered correctly?

ChadTower · « **Reply #5 on:** July 22, 2005, 09:36:38 pm »

My wife probably would win. She talks to NFL players on a fairly regular basis. She has insider info. It's always great to come home and hear from your wife about how she spent time talking to an NFL player today and he's totally hot and then hear he's a kicker.

But when it's Adam Vinatieri you consider it a small price to pay.

Dude, he's a kicker. Just push him down. Even better, take a poke at him and pick up a football. He'll be scared to make contact with ya! Just watch your ankles, that's the area they like to throw themselves at the ground

ChadTower · « **Reply #7 on:** July 22, 2005, 10:07:20 pm »

He's about the same size I am. A couple inches taller, ten pounds lighter.

Anyway, small price to pay for three super bowls.

I'm in. I'm used to running my own league so this autodraft is a bit new to me. I assume I'll get my --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- wooped like I was a barrel under Mario's hammer.

tommy · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2005, 07:49:40 am »

Maybe we can have everyone atleast make one first pick and then a random thing?

ChadTower · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2005, 08:59:35 am »

My wife says she wants to keep the team... she'll probably beat us all.

Tell her to sign back up. I already deleted it, but if she wants to join, I'm good with it...we've got 14 spots, fer cryin' out loud....and I can make more or split out another league

Boah, we gon' beat yew lahk a rented myoool

For you and for anyone else:

The autodraft is and will be mandatory due to members here possibly being on different continents and time zones. If after filling up the league, we want to do a live draft, the option will be put to a vote, and it MUST pass with 75% If it DOES pass, we'll set up a draft date, and anyone dropping out will be invited to join another (smaller) autodraft league, and the 14-team league will simply become a 12-team league

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE RANKINGS YAHOO WILL USE FOR THE AUTODRAFT, SIGN INTO THE LEAGUE AND SELECT "MY TEAM". YOU SHOULD THEN SEE AN OPTION TO CHANGE THE PRE-DRAFT RANKINGS. I HAVE N-O I-D-E-A HOW YAHOO DECIDES TO PICK FOR YOU, SO I'LL BE JUST AS HOSED AS EVERYONE ELSE!

Yahoo has no option for it. It's either live draft or autodraft, no exceptions. The third option you may see from them STILL requires a live draft, it'd only be held offline and I'd input everyone's picks. THAT is not gonna happen for a free league. Since we all have computer access, we'd simply do the live draft option and save me that headache.

ChadTower · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2005, 05:07:11 pm »

Autodraft it should be.

GadgetGeek · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2005, 06:07:59 pm »

I don't have a problem with autodraft, I just have to think differently about how to pre-rank my players. I guess I'll have to do a little research into their autodraft rules. Depending on how the draft goes, I may have to change my team name to either The Busdrivers (cause I'll be taking you all to school) or the Catfish (because I'll be a bottom dweller).

Other team names I briefly considered...
Eaton Snatch, but I'm not from Eaton
Boise Gladiators, but I'm not from Boise
and
Fourth and Schlong
but in the end, I decided on the boring Unfeeling Cretins

Half full thus far. If you know of someone else here who might like to play, shoot them a PM and point 'em here.

tommy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2005, 12:56:05 am »

Whats determining the first matchups, so far every new team has been matched up against me, when someone else has signed up the original matchup gets bumped for the new guy.

Did you set some kind of matchups for fairness to start?

I haven't got a clue how they match up the first game other than they take all the people and make sure they play someone. Fairness to start? Everyone will play everyone, so it won't make any difference who you play, and seeing as how the draft hasn't even taken place, there's TRULY no way to determine "fairness".

I guess I don't understand the question Mr Trebek.

I guess this guy doesn't know the rules. You can hit a kicker as hard as you want, so long as someone has touched the ball first.

walls83 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 01, 2005, 12:53:19 pm »

come on we got 4 spots left....

If we get one more person, I'm gonna make it a 12 team league and run the draft.

Well, after thinking my judgement on this issue was sound, if tommy agrees with me, there's GOT to be a flaw in my reasoning somewhere

Bacon, Boobs, Toast, String Cheese. I think I've covered all the bases. Oh, and not necessarily in that order.

tommy · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2005, 06:48:00 pm »

The only thing you need to worry about is our matchup on the second week.

Draft away.

If i need to explain that to you.... you have no business even being in the league.

ChadTower · « **Reply #32 on:** August 01, 2005, 08:10:05 pm »

Okay, let's put it another way. Over the course of the next month, rosters are going to change, players are going to be injured, basically any team your Giant brain drafts is going to be pointless in three weeks.

tommy · « **Reply #33 on:** August 01, 2005, 08:14:09 pm »

None of that matters, it's an auto pick draft. You're going to have who you have.

I would like to know what i have to work with.

ChadTower · « **Reply #34 on:** August 01, 2005, 08:16:27 pm »

So you can get someone like Vick and then watch him break a leg in a preseason game? I'd rather wait until the season is about to start and then leave the injured players out.

It's not like Yahoo fantasy football gives you much to work with. You have about 1 decision to make a week.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #35 on:** August 01, 2005, 09:32:06 pm »

Your notice is served.

The draft will go down Friday night. I believe Yahoo runs all their auto-drafts at one time during the night, as my other team was drafted around midnight-ish after we were set to go. I WILL set it for Friday night, but take this as your "SHUT UP BUTTMUNCH".....I DO NOT KNOW when Yahoo will specifically run it. I DO know that they will send you an e-mail to the address you signed up with telling you the draft is completed.

If we don't have two more teams sign up before then, it'll drop to a 12-team league. If only one team signs up, I've got a friend who'll take the spot so we can round out our league.

Now I get to make calls to set up da money leagues! (tommy, kind of a shakeup at work recently, so I was told to wait a week or so and get back to him. I'll keep you posted on that other one.
