The Official "Complain about being beat by Seattle Defense" Thread

[WaterBomb]

Greetings all! It's getting to be that time of year again, when we all get together to compete against each other in the sports nerd's favorite pasttime: Fantasy Football! With the regular season beginning in September and most fantasy drafts happening in mid-to-late August, now is the time to get organized, determine how many leagues we will need, who wants to be commissioner, and how we're dividing between them.

For those of you that are newer, in previous years we tended to run 2 or 3 leagues with 10 or 12 teams in each. League A was more exclusive, and tended to be invite-only with a perennial group. Leagues B and C were more varied from year to year, with participants and commissioners changing each time.

Depending on the number that register, I will adjust the number of leagues accordingly. For now, just post in here to indicate that you are interested in playing this season, and I will add you to the list. Please include your username and email address in your post so that I may contact you for reminders when the season gets closer. If you're uncomfortable having your email address public, you may send it to me in a PM. Signups will not be counted until an email address is included. Don't worry, I'm not going to spam you.

NOTE: DO NOT SIGN UP UNLESS YOU SERIOUSLY INTEND TO PLAY AND COMPLETE THE SEASON. INACTIVITY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND WILL RESULT IN A BAN FROM FUTURE YEARS OF FANTASY FOOTBALL.

There, that should cover it. I'll post some general rules at a later time, I just wanted to get the thread up so we could make sure we're organized well ahead of time.

Removed from league:
goofball


Information I need from confirmed members in our league:
1) Do you want an auction or snake draft?
2) Do you want any scoring changes? If so, make suggestions.
3) When do you want the draft to be?
3b) When do you NOT want the draft to be?

 

[biggie]

I'm in for any and all drafts. Snake, auction, whatever. I do multiple leagues for baseball, football and basketball.

Agalahz@yahoo.com

1) Do you want an auction or snake draft? Doesn't matter
2) Do you want any scoring changes? If so, make suggestions. Doesn't matter
3) When do you want the draft to be? Not too early. 2 weeks before reg. season starts?
3b) When do you NOT want the draft to be? Monday nights are generally bad for me. To a lesser extent, also M-F 9-5 EST.

 

[Killah]

Hoping to repeat my performance from last year! ...minus the injuries, of course.

Apparently yahoo sports doesn't allow you to connect with gmail accounts anymore, so I can't go back and check who the afk'ers were last year... but I know there were several in league C. Please, everyone, if you enter, make sure to take the one hour it takes to do the first few rounds of the draft plus the 5 minutes each week it takes to set your lineup!


New email address is KillahSmash@att.net

 

[Mercy]

In.

mgs_fan88@yahoo.ca

 

[Stallion]

In as usual. My yahoo email is luca.deangizzle@yahoo.com. This is the year to get over the hump and not just keep being the 1st seed but never winning the league!

 

[Shinryu]

I still want to try, but I still have zero clue how to play :(

 

[Lakers]

resuming to league B hopefully Lakers keeps running it.
giantsuperstar34@yahoo.com

worst case, if anything if the people from league B wanna run that league again we can always do one with everyone here and just renew that one as well

 

[theamericandream38]

Response to Justin's questions:

1. Don't care
2. No
3. Any day (in the evening) between August 15 and 28
4. Any time I have school or work

 

[Steeler]

in to get second with tim tebow again

elsteeler36@yahoo.com

 

[Flamestrike]

I'm definitely up for renewing League B as well if anyone else wants to do it, but I'm also interested in participating in new leagues.

 

[pookar]

hello me? i am the king?

[Dubby]

So this is going to go down on Yahoo sports or ESPN? I presume Yahoo sports.

I feel like if we do auction I will be significantly less competitive due to lack of knowledge. Also I don't have a very good history with auctions.

 

[Huy]

1) Don't care
2)Everything all good
3) Anytime is good except like 5-6PM PST weekdays

 

[makiri]

I just confirmed

1) Don't care
2) No changes
3) Evening
3b) Morning

 

[Aldaron]

2.) NO CHANGES
3.) PLEASE ON SUNDAY NIGHT
3b.) ANYTIME ELSE

I know this is extremely restrictive but I have (along with others in our league) have a full time job and thinking about a draft on a weekday would be too annoying for me.

I'm also help organize a community event for my alma mater on saturdays so I dunno about my availability on that day either.

Sunday plz =)
