Gauging Interest: NJFBOA Fantasy Football

[cdacda13]

Who's willing join? It will be a Yahoo league, free of course (a possible $20 buy in is possible IF everyone agrees to it). Hoping to get at least 10. Once the spots fill up, we'll try to figure out a time that works for people and I'll create the league. The draft will be live, online style.

Last year's league was fun and competitive. If you do choose to join the league, I ask that you be a owner that participates somewhat.

Last year's champion was... that's right it was me. :lol: [/bragging]

Interested:
1. Me
2. LS1Hawk brother in law
3. cbrrmike
4. LS1hawk
5. Nastellesswon
6. Jims69camaro
7. Procamaroz28
8. RiggsLW81
9. enRo
10. Dilley

[Bcozzi71]

I would be interested

[BurninrubberGT]

i would but im already in 3 paid leagues lol

[Mike]

I'm in.

[LS1Hawk]

Last year's league was fun, so count me in. And I would say keep it to 10 teams.

[NastyEllEssWon]

count me in.

[jims69camaro]

yeah, keep the number of teams down. i'm in.

[procamaroz28]

yea absolutely

[cdacda13]

Wow, we're filling up fast.
As far as teams go, I would like to keep to to around 12 maximum. If though, 20 guys want to play, I'll gladly start another league.
Now, the draft. What date is time is good for everyone? They usually take an hour or so

[RiggsLW81]

why do we throw in $20 a piece and make it interesting? i missed fantast football last season so looking tog et invloved this one..

who wants to out some action on the season? i vote YES. when theres some loot on the line, people really try to 'out play' each other...

having played in leagues with money up for grabs, and non money leagues...it always seems the leagues without cahs on the line fall to crap, people stop playing, or just lose motivation cuz there is nothing to lose. thats my reasoning.

winner take all $20 a head..and CDACDA13- you organized the league, you can be banker too.. im cool with that.

pretty much anything is good as long as its before 1pm, or if it has to be an evening i am only available on tuesday and weds.

i would be down

[cdacda13]

List Updated.
As far as $20 buy in, if everyone agrees to it then we'll do it.

[enRo]

Im down

[LS1Hawk]

If the draft is during the week, anytime after 7pm is good for me. Weekends are hit or miss because I'm usually all over the place.

[LS1Hawk]

I don't mind putting down $20, but as far as money keeping people interested doesn't guarantee anything. I'm in a baseball leauge on CBS Sports that is $100 a head, and there are teams that after week 10 stopped doing anything. I think you keep it to 10 teams and let only owners who are serious in you should have a good competition.

[fire95bird]

Damn i would do it but i leave in nov :(

[procamaroz28]

is the draft gonna be on a weekend?

[LS1Hawk]

I think last year we did the draft on a tues or thurs evening.

[procamaroz28]

that will work...

[NastyEllEssWon]

im in...but not down for the wager...ive never played fantasy before

[jims69camaro]

im in...but not down for the wager...ive never played fantasy before

it's really easy. the draft, obviously, is the most important part as that is where you build your team.

i got away with murder last year with trades. even still, i ended in the bottom ten. obviously if there is money on the line i would not even think about having two teams, much less trying to pull off some of the crap i did last year. that said, i would not be adverse to a $20 buy-in.

[procamaroz28]

how about $10 to buy in???

[NastyEllEssWon]

whatever i dont care. 20 bucks...let me know when the draft is. i have an open schedule. those with actual things to do can decide the time.

[Mike]

last year was a tuesday evening

[Bcozzi71]

im free whenever ...id rather do $10 then $20.

[RiggsLW81]

my vote goes to a $20 buy in. if we get 10 teams, thats a nice $200 jackpot for the champion, and some reallllly nice incentive to stay on top of your team.

[LS1Hawk]

It should only be one team per person.

[cdacda13]

It should only be one team per person.

I believe we had an extra spot last year, and someone had to fill it.

Possible draft date (let me know if this works for you): Wednesday, August 19th, 6 pm. If this is fine, I'm going to set up the league within the next few days.
As far as the $20 buy in, should I set up a paypal account, or do you guys just want to mail it to me?

that date works for me.

i would set up paypal, then just leave it in there, and paypal it back to the winner, other than pp taking their cut, it seems like the simplest way to do things

[NastyEllEssWon]

paypal works for me

[enRo]

Works good for me.

Paypal is a better idea.

Think we can do 6:30pm? That would work a little better because I'm usually getting home from work between 6 & 6:15. I'd like to be there to make my picks rather than let the system pick for me.

Paypal is a good idea.

[cdacda13]

Ok. Everything is set up. We still need one more team though.

PMs sent to everyone on the list in the first post.

[Crayface]

Im down to do this.

[cdacda13]

[enRo]

Sent awayyyyy

[procamaroz28]

why is point system so low?

and why team defense? can we just draft 3 DL and 3 DB???

can 10yrds rushing = 1 point

20 passing = 1 point

it just makes the math easier and gives ur more points

[RiggsLW81]

if you guys want, you can just give me the championship $$ and saves urselves from 16 weeks of defeat...hehe

[cdacda13]

Paid list updated. Points system changed.

Draft in 7 days, 5 hours and 6 minutes.

[NastyEllEssWon]

whats the changes

[cdacda13]

Rushing- 10 yards per point.
Passing- 20 yards per point.

[procamaroz28]

nice!!

[Bcozzi71]

blah gonna have to pull out of this

sorry

[cdacda13]

Its alright Bcozzi.

Anyone else up for some fantasy? One open spot.

[NastyEllEssWon]

bump for open player!

[LS1Hawk]

Last year I got my brother-in-law to join when we had an empty spot. Want me to see if he wants to do it again? Last year he finished 4th i think. He's very into football and does a lot of leagues, so he'll take it seriously.

[Dilley]

im in we doing keepers from last year?

[cdacda13]

im in we doing keepers from last year?

Nope, fresh start.
Let me just figure a few things out real quick and I'll send you the information on the buy in and everything else.

[LS1Hawk]

Quick question: Is this going to be winner take all or are we doing prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

[cdacda13]

Winner takes all. 2nd place is just the first loser, and deserves no reward for that.

[NastyEllEssWon]

Are you ready for some football!!!!

[LS1Hawk]

Winner takes all. 2nd place is just the first loser, and deserves no reward for that.

I'm cool with that. Just wanted to check. Looks like we got ourselves a league now, so may the best man win!

[cdacda13]

Everyone is in.

Draft is tonight everyone.

[jims69camaro]

sweet. i ran a few mock drafts, and everything looks good. good luck.

[NastyEllEssWon]

good luck to all! heres hoping for the number 1 overall :nod:

[cdacda13]

Standard style snake order draft. Draft order will be randomly determined 30 minutes prior to the draft.

Up for grabs to the winner, $196.48.

[NastyEllEssWon]

why isnt it 200??? i dont think paypal takes fees out for it just sitting in there

[cdacda13]

why isnt it 200??? i dont think paypal takes fees out for it just sitting in there

Some of the sent payments had the paypal fee taken out, (ended up with $19.12) and others came with the full $20. A total of 4 people had fees taken out of the money they sent. It has something to do with what the money is for.

[procamaroz28]

ur supposed to have made it a personal transfer on paypal or else paypal deducts 3%

paypal personal transfer are always free and never charges 3%

[NastyEllEssWon]

wooot draft time awaits

[cdacda13]

ur supposed to have made it a personal transfer on paypal or else paypal deducts 3%

paypal personal transfer are always free and never charges 3%

Well now, 4 people didn't do that.


2 hours and 21 minutes till draft.

[Mike]

was i one of the 4 screwups?

[cdacda13]

was i one of the 4 screwups?

Yes you were.

1 hour and 39 minutes left.

[NastyEllEssWon]

yeah i think i screwed up too!

[NastyEllEssWon]

who bounced out the league?

[LS1Hawk]

Yahoo is showing only 9 teams have entered and says:

"Your Head-to-Head league will not be able to start the season if it contains an odd number of teams."

When I log on I'm not seeing a link for the live draft. So can we not have the draft until the 9th team registers?

[NastyEllEssWon]

yeah draft order shouldve been announced by now....whats going on

[LS1Hawk]

Yeah, can not get into the draft. And my brother-in-law is having a problem where it says he's not registered, yet his team name Eliminators shows up on the list.

[Mike]

just make a dummy team so we have an even number

[cdacda13]

Someone has yet to sign up. Until that point, the draft cannot be held.

When's the next time people can be available? The last person to sign up has yet to join the league so it has to be pushed back.

[LS1Hawk]

How do we get into draft?!?

[NastyEllEssWon]

are we on. we got 10 now

[LS1Hawk]

I see 10 teams now, but still no way to get into draft.

[NastyEllEssWon]

mike said it should pop up. all you people should get in the njfboa chat. make things easier. lol

[Mike]

or just post on the yahoo page......

[LS1Hawk]

I keep refreshing but nothing is popping up.

[cdacda13]

**** **** **** *****!

Since the league wasn't full, the draft canceled. Now that we're full, another date has to be chosen. And it won't let me choose today.

****!

[procamaroz28]

what is going on?!?!?!

[Mike]

argh

[RiggsLW81]

what the hell is going on im sitting here waiting why isnt the draft starting
?

[LS1Hawk]

This sucks.

[procamaroz28]

tomorrow morning??? or night??

[RiggsLW81]

seriously man?? what the ****, i mean if you knew it wasnt full and it didnt process it when did u plan on telling everyone whos waiting around with thier dicks in thier hands??

[NastyEllEssWon]

deff not morning

[cdacda13]

Temporary draft date set until I can figure this **** out.

[Mike]

i work friday night.

[procamaroz28]

tomorrow night?

[enRo]

Friday at 3:15... yea, hellooooooooooooooo

[cdacda13]

seriously man?? what the ****, i mean if you knew it wasnt full and it didnt process it when did u plan on telling everyone whos waiting around with thier dicks in thier hands??

Everyone had the info for the league. Everyone paid. I can't force someone to get the sign up right away.

[LS1Hawk]

Since this one won't let you do it today now, is there a way to create a new league name now and invite us all and schedule the draft for 7pm or later tonight, and just delete this league?

[RiggsLW81]

i read the posts but i had no idea it affected the draft. if you knew that was the issue, you should send a memo out to the league..cuz theres 10 people waiting for something that isnt happening and thats annoying to reschedule when u set aside time. just saying -- send out a email to the league when **** happens - u are the commisoner and that is ur responsibilty

[cdacda13]

The draft date is TEMPORARY! Let me know what works for you.

I'm sorry about this situation. But I checked the league earlier today and everything was fine. The last person to sign up was given the league info a day or so ago.

[Mike]

if its not on a tuesday or wednesday, im out

[jims69camaro]

i was definitely one of the screw-ups. soz, didn't know.

[cdacda13]

From Yahoo's fantsay football FAQ:
All managers need to register at least 1 hour prior to the draft. If an odd number of teams exists at that time, the draft will be changed to an auto-pick draft set to "not ready."

[RiggsLW81]

im fine with doing it tomorrow evening same time. 630. does that work for people?

[LS1Hawk]

im fine with doing it tomorrow evening same time. 630. does that work for people?

That works for me, or any other weeknight at that time. Would have to see if my brother-in-law can do it. I know he had to leave work early to make tonight.

[Mike]

my work week is thursday-monday 3pm-11pm

[enRo]

From Yahoo's fantsay football FAQ:

So, if thats the case, set it for like 9PM tonight

[NastyEllEssWon]

as long as its not a morning im good to go

[cdacda13]

That works for me, or any other weeknight at that time. Would have to see if my brother-in-law can do it. I know he had to leave work early to make tonight.

Tell your brother in law I'm sorry making him take off work for this.

I'm contacting Yahoo fantasy football to see if it can be changed to sometime later tonight. Awaiting response right now.

So, if thats the case, set it for like 9PM tonight

That's the issue, it won't let me choose today as the draft date.

[NastyEllEssWon]

make a new league and set it for later tonight???

[cdacda13]

Next Wednesday, August 26th, at 7 pm. Does that work with everyone. It gives everyone another week to prepare, watch preseason games, and with the amazing turnout we had today for this (non) draft, I hope it repeat its self next week.

Good for everyone?

[LS1Hawk]

Tell your brother in law I'm sorry making him take off work for this.

He's not pissed. Just was curious if we can do it tonight still. Know it's not your fault.

[Mike]

works for me

[cdacda13]

He's not pissed. Just was curious if we can do it tonight still. Know it's not your fault.

Yahoo has yet to get back to me. Hopefully its possible, but it is not looking likely.

[LS1Hawk]

The 26th at 7pm works for me. Did the last manager ever register? Or did we create a dummy team?

[NastyEllEssWon]

i guess next wednesday it is

[jims69camaro]

i think so. it's better for most (mike) and since we all (or most) showed up today, then a repeat next week shouldn't be a problem.

i don't want an auto draft. i did that last year and ended up with one good player out of 13.

[Mike]

yeah but then you fixed that by trading between your 2 teams :rofl:

[cdacda13]

Draft date is set for next Wednesday.


Again, to everyone in this league, I'm sorry for this situation.

[jims69camaro]

yeah, i won't be doing that again.

[LS1Hawk]

Draft date is set for next Wednesday.


Again, to everyone in this league, I'm sorry for this situation.

No problem. Gives us time to find out if Farve becomes a Viking :lol:

[LS1Hawk]

Checked with my brother in-law. He's good for next Wed. at 7pm.

[jims69camaro]

No problem. Gives us time to find out if Farve becomes a Viking :lol:

he will. he just wants to avoid training camp.

[Mike]

next weds works for me

[cdacda13]

DRAFT TONIGHT: 7pm. Everything is in place and will work this time.

[NastyEllEssWon]

Wooooooooooooooooooot

[cdacda13]

5 minutes. Draft order is set.

[cdacda13]

Everyone happy with their team?

[NastyEllEssWon]

yup perfectly

[LS1Hawk]

For the most part I'm happy. Not crazy about my WRs. But with the NFL, things change every week...anyone can get injured and anyone can come out of nowhere.

[enRo]

anyone can come out of nowhere.

:nod:

Overall pretty happy with it. There are 1 or 2 I regret picking so early, but eh, thats what makes it exciting. Hopefully Brady has a good season this year cuz he raked me in some $$$ 2 years ago :lol:

[jims69camaro]

i can work with this. i was very worried when i found out i wasn't going to be here for the draft, but i came through with more of my picks than i would have thought. good luck.

[RiggsLW81]

im pretty content with my team...kurt warner at the helm, minnesota defense...deangelo williams in the backfield... terrel owens and calvin johnson on wr's...and other pics i dig..

as Ozzy says before each concert...LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

[LS1Hawk]

Other than the WRs, I gotta say I'm pretty solid. P. Manning at QB, AP and Slaton in the backfield, Gonzalez and Fasano for TEs. Just hope my defense does its job. I actually just made a waiver move this morning. Had drafted two kickers, so I droped one and picked up Steve Smith...figure someone has to catch the ball for the G-Men with Plax and Toomer gone :lol:

lets hope rivers does as he did last year :lol:






edit: looks like the eagles just put a big hit on david garrard.....hope someone has him :)
