Why did we use yahoo last year? Personally, I was in the espn camp after everyone poo-poo'd my CBSsports suggestion. Seemed like most people were yahoo-or-riot last year. Welp, after a year of suffering I'm glad you have come to your senses.
We shall be using ESPN this year.
We shall be capped to 12 players.
We shall have three random divisions of 4 again. That was fun.
We shall make the waiver wire methodology:
***Move to Last After Claim, Never Reset Order:With this setting the waiver order doesn't reset on a weekly basis; instead after a team makes a waiver selection they are shifted to the last waiver position.***
We shall be using standard scoring.
We shall relentlessly shame people who suck and don't set lineups with the fury and anger of 1000 suns. SA will write a letter and send it to your home address telling you how angry he is.
I guess I could have you all vote on this but a benevolent dictator is the most efficient form of government.
Draft date will be incoming later. It will probably be the last week prior to kickoff.
Usual suspects:
me
mfing Schlitz mmmmm
SA
Kristy
GW
GS
luke
FWWM
Pelican
That's 9. I don't want to strain myself thinking who the other 3 were last year. They get priority if they express interest in the next week. I suppose we should let LonelyBox play since he responsible for 43% of the posting in 4L these days. I don't think it'll be a problem filling 12 slooots.
This is all I can think of at the moment. More will be incoming after I skim last years thread and get PTSD flashbacks from the shenanigans that were had.
Setting up the league now. I'm leaving playoff seeding as default this year. Head to head is first tiebreaker, points for is 2nd tiebreaker. Here is the convoluted ESPN example:
"SEEDING TIEBREAKER EXAMPLE
Below is an example of how tie breakers work. The main things to remember are:
Teams must have played the same number of head to head games amongst each other
Tiebreaker process starts over from beginning after each tie is broken for each bracket seed
All five teams in this example have a season record of 7-5
Team A: 3rd in division 1 with 825 points. They beat teams B and E, and lost to teams C and D
Team B: 2nd in division 1 with 918 points. They beat team C, lost to teams A and E, and did not play team D
Team C: 1st in division 2 with 725 points. They beat team A, and lost to teams B, D, and E
Team D: 2nd in division 2 with 720 points. They beat teams A, C, and E, and did not play team B
Team E: 1st in Division 1 with 920 points. They beat teams B and C and lost to teams A and D
First we take the division winners. Teams E and C won their divisions. Since team E beat team C in their head to head matchup, E gets the #1 seed and C gets the #2 seed.
Now we have to figure out the #3 seed. Since teams A, B, and D all have 7-5 records, we first look at their head to head records.
Team A beat team B and lost to team D, so they are 1-1 head to head
Team B lost to team A, and did not play team D, so they are 0-1 head to head
Team D beat team A, and did not play team B, so they are 1-0 head to head
Since the three teams did not play the same amount of head to head games we have to go the next tie-breaker - "Points For". This Awards the #3 seed to team B as they had 918 points.
Last we have to figure out the #4 seed. Again, since teams A and D have identical 7-5 records we look at their head to head matchup. Since team D beat team A, D would get the 4th and final playoff seed. "
This link should work. I made it open to public so I could avoid sending individual email invites to everyone. I can kick any randoms that sign up, but try and get in quickly so that can be minimized.
i'm the only one that's figured out wombat's cryptic instructions hidden throughout bbv4l. i'm obviously the smart one. if we were a prison gang, you would call me "brains" and i would wear a distinctive cap and glasses.
Golfing_Studette is a weeping vagoo and is co-owning with Pelican. I still need email addresses from Pelican and Quag. We also need a 12th since GS is a little girl. Tell yo friends, tell yo wives.
I would save a bookmark once you get the invite, which you should have now. Barring that, you could search "ATC Memorial League" and it would prob turn up.
