I know I as a first timer last year in the league and part of the 'rookie' league... but it was a lot of fun... so I'm hoping we're doing it again?

I know Chad gave out prizes (which I thought was really cool) but I'd be willing to play with no prizes just because it was fun and competitive (people here know their stuff). Chad was good enough to organize it all (I know it was a huge pain too with technical difficulties and getting draft times organized, etc)... if people are interested in playing again I'd be happy to help out organizing it.
ETA. So if we get 12eople interested I'd get a league organized.... So far we have 6 people... 4 or 6 more and were in business

[dagame]

In. What do you mean Chad won't pay us out of pocket?

[Rock Hard]

IN

:championship:

[Aargyle]

I missed out last year, but if it goes on and if there is a spot open I'll be in.

[chad@ffLiveWire]

I won't be able to organize it like I did in the past. I just have too many time constraints on my hands right now. If you all want to keep it going on your own, I'd love to see that happen.

Will you still be able to play?

I need two guaranteed wins 

:-P

I don't know that I can organize all 3 leagues... but for sure I'd do the one that I was playing in if we get enough people who are interested to fill it up. Were there people who helped you out last year w/coordinating the 3 leagues? I could contact them and see fi they'd help out with the other two (assuming we do the same leagues as last year?
)

[vardaski]

I'd play.

[ft_ball_fan]

Bum pity bump.... Scooter, MTskibum... All you other regulars that I'm not typing out on this silly iPad keyboard... Please post if you're interested in joining... Same scoring as last year.. Not that I did well with that system....

[P Park Pimps]

I've played the last 2 years and would be interested in playing again.

[dojdave]

I can play if we can do a continous draft. I just can't commit a few hours to a specific draft time.

[chad@ffLiveWire]

I'll be a final roster spot if we need one...

[yoman]

I'll play

I agree with this as I'll be unable to on regularly between 8/26 and 8/31. After 8/31 I am ok if draft is set for a particular date and time.

Dojdave--what do you mean a continuous draft--one we do via message boards where people pick whenver they're available?

dagame I'm not sure what your post means... can you do a normal online draft after 8/31 but conitinuous prior to that?

[ft_ball_fan]

p.s. we have 9 people... I'll PM some people who played last year... feel free to list them here (or contact them yourself)

[Rock Hard]

In the IBL we use myfantasyleague site for our draft - it has a "slow draft" option (12 hours pwe pick). That feature is free to use - check it out.

Also... Chad had planned to elevate owners from lower leagues

But, if you are taking on the commish responsibility from Chad, I think that will be your call how to line up folks.

MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION:
- Is Chad still gonna cover the prize moola this year?
(If so, he is a wise person who knows the value of site promotion. If not, then he's a cheap bastard (like the rest of us)

I am available after 8/31 for online draft. Prior to that, I can do a slow draft. I was in Chad's league 2 year's ago but for unknown reason wasn't picked last year.

[yoman]

Let's do a continuous draft until every single eligible player is taken

the 31st to the 3rd are pretty crazy for me although I could probably do the draft at night on the 3rd.

Yes exactly......just need to be able to come in and pick when available...and I always have access to the internet, so I won't be one of the ones who will take a long time to make a pick

A slow draft will take about 2 weeks to finish... I'll set up the MFL site and we'll get a final count...

Here's the league. Please sign in to a franchise. http://www18.myfanta...12/home/71531#0

• To Sign in, pick a franchise that is not already taken (will be named Franchise 1 or Franchise 2 ) etc. Sign in to that franchise using the password that corresponds to your team franchise1, franchise2, franchise3 etc.
  
• So to further clarify, password for "Franchise 1" is franchise1 | "Franchise 2" is franchise2 - all lower case, no spaces.
  
• Once you've signed in - change your Team name (PLEASE MAKE THIS YOUR FFLW ALIAS SO WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE).
  
• Change your password

THIS IS NOT THE DRAFT ORDER - we'll randomly select the order after everyone is signed in.


The draft will start on Monday, August 27. The timer is set to 12 hours per pick but the timer stops from Midnight to 10am (EST). PLEASE PREDRAFT.

[ft_ball_fan]

Thanks for setting up the league Chad!

Sorry.. just copied a whole list of regulars to PM to invite to play and deleted the wrong person and sent to you (despite the fact you were already in). Sorry for any confusion.

Too much going on is perfect for a slow draft

I will be gone over labor day weekend camping is my only issue but I'll pre-draft if I have to.

5/6 franchises left.

I just had the IBL draft and it was a pain in the ass to have to check in every 8 hours or so for over 2 weeks.
I have a draft this Sunday and in a few hours I'm done. Much easier on a busy schedule.....for me.

I agree with Cinciman.... consensus is the slow draft so I'm game... but my preference woulda been to do a 2 hr draft and be done.. 2 weeks of checking the site constantly will be a pain. GL this year Cinciman!

IBL has some bad drafters.

We will all be very good here, and pre-draft as often as possible.

(In part because a two week draft would make us miss week one of the season)

[chad@ffLiveWire]

Franchise 10 and Franchise 12 still available...


We can pick a night next week that works for everyone and get a good chunk of this draft finished. Let's try for Wednesday at 7(est).

[dagame]

Can you post the roster limitations, scoring and starting requirements?

I was going to post the same... scoring is not posted.. I'm assuming same as last year but a reminder would help.. last year was a whole year ago

[chad@ffLiveWire]

I'll post the draft order, scoring and starting lineup requirements in a new thread after the last team signs up.


WAITING ON 1 MORE TO SIGN UP!!!!!

[chad@ffLiveWire]

DAGORHIR is the last team by my calculations. He's from Europe or some silly place like that, so he'll probably check in over night.

[ft_ball_fan]

YES!! Thanks again Chad for setting up the league!

[Dagorhir]

goin 2 sign up now, thx chad and ftballfn.

[Dagorhir]

um, is the draft order correct?

i pick at 1.04 and 2.03...???


thx chad.

[chad@ffLiveWire]

I'm going to random pick the draft order on MFL at 10pm tonight (EST). If anybody wants to verify that I selected the order randomly - simply login to MFL at that time....

The order will change once and the results are final.
