Fantasy football anyone?

I think we need to either put a limit on teams at 12 OR play with only 2 WR's. Any more than 12 teams and you really have to reach for a 3rd WR.

We're at 11 right now. Are we waiting on anyone else? 12 sounds like a good number, in general I would rather have teams of pretty good players rather than be reaching too far.

Reading the rules we need an even number. If we don't get 12 someone gets axed

I'm in... Everyone say hello to my team...

The Scrotum Puppies!


You might as well give up.

(Scrotum Puppies comes from the first time I saw a "Pound Puppy" and said to my girlfriend, "looks more like a scrotum puppy to me.")

Ok Im in . Town Drunks

Shut her down, Dude! Shut her down!!!!!!!!

 

[the_bird]

OK, couple of dumb questions:

1. When do we know what the draft order is going to be?

2. How many rounds?

3. Here's a real dumb question; do we get credit for our running backs' receiving yards (and receviers' running yards), or do running backs only earn points for rushing yards/TDs?

4. The W/R position - does that mean we have the choice of starting either a third running back or a fourth wide receiver?

Sorry, I'm a n00b...

 

[user 574]

All good questions Bird, I'm a noob too but I know some of those answers.

1. Randomly determined 30 min prior.
2. I'd guess(?) 8 to fill up: 'QB,WR,WR,WR,RB,RB,TE,W/R' Or maybe that's how many you play each week and you have more? Must be because of injury. I think I need to know this answer as well. I've been confused on how many to put in my ranking list and how many in each position we get?
3. dunno
4. sound right but dunno.

Is there a place that gives an overview? I know football, just not ffb!

 

[user 574]

Really need 1 more player! Skull Splitters is already in a bye.

 

[todd_k]

Yes, you get credit for all receiving/rushing/passing yards regardless of position. So if Antwain Randle El throws as TD pass, you get credit for a TD.
I think the W/R is a wide receiver/return man, not positive since I've never played with that position before.
It should be around 12 rounds to fill out your starting roster and your bench.

 

[user 574]

W/R appears to be wide receiver/running back. If you show top 25 of this type that's the group of guys you get.

Stupid thing doesn't understand the AZ time zone either (since we don't change). it says for me 5:15p MDT which isn't mountain, that central. I just see it counting down which would make it 3:15p Pacific or 6:15 Eastern, right?!?

7:15 EDT, so 1:30 from now

 

[user 574]

I'm on the site right now and it says 25 minutes to draft time. WTF?

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

Well mine says 1:15 till draft. We still need one more person to be able to do the draft though. It says we won't be allowed to do a draft with an odd number of teams

 

[user 574]

Sh!t, I didn't read that one. It doesn't seem like we're having much luck bringing someone else in either .

I just noticed that my PC was on MN ( Central ) time since I got back yesterday. Switched it back to local AZ time and now it's saying 2:06 minutes remaining. Nice programming Yahoo :cross:. Well, I know when it's starting, if it does. Wonder where dude is? I'd recommend limiting it to 12 teams, get one more in and then change draft day/time.

 

[Walker]

if we get to within 30 min of the draft and don't have an even number, I'll create a junk team, pick sucky players with it, and then delete the team after the draft.

[todd_k]

i don't think teams can be deleted after the draft. whoever played your team would get an easy win.

 

[Walker]

the main page has a bullet that says:

• If you wish to leave this league, you can delete this team.

it makes no mention that this must be done before the draft.

 

[Walker]

i can't do this easily. i can create a second team and everything, but it's trying to use the same draft rankings that I have set up for my 'real' team.

I think we're going to miss our draft.

WHAT THE F*CK?

I'm testing my systems for compatibility, they are all failing. I've installed the flash player. I'm at work because my internet at the house went out this morning. F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK!

 

[Walker]

you don't need flash, you need java... and maybe a reboot.

 

[the_bird]

Dammit. Looks like it's a firewall issue, and since I can't frickin' connect at the house, I'm hosed. F*ck. And, I haven't pre-ranked any of my players.

****.







****.

 

[Walker]

i wouldn't sweat it. i don't think we'll be having a draft b/c of the odd number thing anyway.

 

[the_bird]

gonna try a re-boot...

 

[the_bird]

how do I check if I have java enabled?

 

[the_bird]

And does Dude even have power back yet?

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

I was wondering where Dude was. Also it says an odd number of managers not teams so I think you would need to create a new account too
