if you need someone to fill a spot, I'm down.

Aimee · 09-01-2011, 04:58 PM

Alright, looks like a league won't get off the ground this time around. Maybe next year when we have more TWSS'ers

I'm in. How many more do we need?

Aimee · 09-01-2011, 07:49 PM

Actually with you and GG we only need 1 more!

buddytheelf · 09-02-2011, 11:59 AM

bump to try and fill one more spot. i like drafting!

Pokerella · 09-02-2011, 05:44 PM

Don't know how I totally missed this thread, but I'm in!

.... although I've never done FFL in my life before

Lol literally have no experience whatsoever (just love watching NFL), but I'd be down for whatever stakes (pref smaller cuz I'm def -EV in this, lol) and any style, though I was very slightly leaning towards traditional? I wouldn't mind suicide or week-to-week either if ppl have strong preference.

Hooray! Draft time will be Sept 7 at 6:45 pm EST - pretty much the best time we could get given the season starts on the 8th. If you are unable to make the draft time, however, Yahoo will let you set your draft preferences beforehand and the computer will choose for you.

If anyone else would like to play, we can accept more players as long as the final number is even and payment is received prior to the draft. PM me if interested. Let's just stick to $10 since we have a lot of newer players, although I'd be willing to bump it up if everyone in the league agrees. League invites will be sent once payment is received, and a PM will be sent shortly to all interested parties with details on making payment. I also can accept transfers on Lock Poker and make sure the funds are transferred to SGT RJ if you would prefer that to PayPal/Amazon. Standard payout structure is 50/30/20 so I think we should stick with that. Happy to answer any questions for the newer players, I promise it's not as intimidating as it might first seem

Thanks!

PMs have been sent, so please let me know if you did not receive one. Also, in case it wasn't clear, everyone seemed to lean toward a standard FFL structure, so the details in my OP will stand. Registration will stay open until the draft so PM if anyone else is interested.

Gallopin Gael · 09-02-2011, 10:05 PM

payment sent on Amazon.

Pretty sure I will be somewhere along I-20 heading east into Louisiana for wsop circuit event that starts the following day, during this time. Not to mention, I have no idea what you are talking about how Yahoo is involved?

My draft for my other league (the one I've been in for about 8 years) is the same day time . . .

I'm gonna have to sit this one out. Sorry.

I'll go on record right now as saying that I have no life, so if you move the draft (as long as you don't move it to Wednesday at 10 in the morning for some reason), I'll be fine with it.

Any day, any time after 6pm is fine by me. Or labor day

I can move it to Tuesday night if that works better for everyone, but I was concerned with the holiday weekend we wouldn't be able to get everyone signed up in time. I can change the draft up until Monday night so if everyone agrees and signs up on time we can certainly do that. Obviously if you can make the draft it's more fun, but as I mentioned before it's not necessary as Yahoo will draft for you.

We talk about Yahoo because that's where the league is being managed. Here's basically how a draft works - everyone is assigned a draft order to determine who picks first, second, etc. Yahoo has each player pre-ranked by their projected points for the season, although you are allowed to go in and edit the list to put players you like higher on the list if you wish, or to remove players entirely from the list if you know you don't want them. If you don't set your own rankings, however, the default Yahoo rankings will be used instead.

Either way, when it's your turn, the computer will pick the highest ranked player still available that matches up with the positions you have left on your team. Each team will be made up of a QB, 2 RB's, 2 WRs, one WR/RB position, one TE, one K, and one D, plus 6 bench spots. Again, I'm happy to help anyone set one up if necessary. If you have a few minutes, go to Yahoo fantasy sports, click on Drafts, and try out a mock draft - it'll be really clear how they work once you've seen it
