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

The best fantasy football advice you'll ever get came from Adam Vinatieri, "All kickers."

Sent invite but still waiting on payments from most of you. Please register asap so we can have everyone registered by draft time. I won't be able to move the draft to Tuesday unless we can get everyone in by tonight, so we're probably going to have to stick with Wednesday.

I sent payment on paypal on 9/2.
I'm still pretty clueless about this draft. lol
Def will need to input my picks ahead of time, since I will be super busy getting out of Dallas on Wednesday.

Sorry. Lots of stuff going on with irl friends in town the last 5 days. Tried to make Amazon Marketplace work from my phone while playing poker, but it was a bit beyond me. Will try again tomorrow from comp when everyone is gone.

lol, "invite sent" just means you haven't created your team yet you should have an email with instructions.
***Official TWSS Fantasy Football Thread*** Quote
09-05-2011 , 07:34 PM
Um....no, not so much. No email.

Did you send a PM or an actual email? I'm almost never on my hotmail account and unknown items get sent to the junk folder automatically.

If you could resend the invite email - everything the same except @gmail.com instead of @hotmail.com.

Sorry for the mix-up.

So just to confirm, we're sticking with Wed @ 6:45pm for draft time? Were people more available Tues night, maybe?

I'm free either time.

Yes... unfortunately drafts cannot be scheduled on the same day that you set it, so everyone needed to be registered by today for me to move it up.

Ok...that took me way longer than it should have, but I have transferred $10 to RJ on Amazon Marketplace

Confirmed. Also those who sent PMs late last night/earlier today are also confirmed.

All teams are registered now except for AAmaz0n, who was sent the invite this afternoon. Since it doesn't look like we'll get any more entrants, I will set the draft order once she registers so everyone can start getting their draft strategies in order

OK, figured out how to register, so I'm in.

this is the game played with the oblate spheroid, right?
