Me too

OK..do you want to have an actual draft or let each owner enter rankings (or just use the Yahoo rankings) to draft the teams.

An online draft will take about 5 hours which is fine with me but it may be tough to schedule....what do you think?

Posted by: Pepper

OK, I made an executive decision...we will go with this:

Quote:

We will draft teams for your league based on either our default rankings or manager's pre-ranking of players. Once you set your league's draft status to Ready, your draft will happen within 72 hours.

I will PM those who say they are in with how to join.

I'd like to do it too. I'm dying for football season.

As for the live draft, you can set it up for a live draft and if anyone doesn't want to do it live their rankings will be used by the computer. Plus you can participate for the first couple of rounds and then let the computer finish up the later rounds.

You can count me in as well Pepper.

you know Im in buddy boy

Posted by: ALBOB

This will be the first time I've done an on-line draft so please proceed with baby steps. I won't be able to participate live. My only real on-line time is at work and there's no way I can dedicate five hours. (Although you probably think differently if you watch how much I screw off around here.

)

Posted by: Pepper

OK, I think I have PM'd everyone who said they wanted to play. Still have a few spots open. Post here or PM me if you want in.

(if you said you were in and have not been PM'd, let me know)

Posted by: IainDaniel

No PM yet Pepper

Pm says 0...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!
Before you guys start, we should do it on a certain site that me and my boys always use....Smallworld.com
its the best fantasy site there is. everyone starts with a certain $ amount (say $30 million) to buy your team of 2 qb's, 2 rb's, 2 wr's, and a defense. players' price is based on their performance last yr and expected performance this year. then, their price fluctuates throughout the season like the stock market based on how they're doing (if well, then people use trades we get to buy them, if bad, their price drops b/c people sell them). so not only are you trying to score the most points, but you also want your team to gain in price so you can afford even bigger players.

Anyhow, its SO easy to start a league. for instance, i could it in 2 minutes if you guys want. alls i would need to do is name the league (ie. Ironmagazine), and set a password so all IM'ers can get on, but not any ordinary schmoe.

I'm not sure if you aleardy startted, but if not, its a great site to do it with. as a matter of fact, we should start a fantasy baseball one also (the 2nd half just started, so everyone starts from scratch).

***Pm me pepper. IM sent me an email that says my box was full, so i didnt get your other pm.

Posted by: gr81

sounds sweet Flex, hook it up dude, we haven't started yet

Posted by: Flex

alrighty, well, it would take me 2 secs to set up the league. you guys just let me know if you wanna join.

if you guys need help signing up, just email me or post it here.

league name: muscle
league password: iron

then just make up a team name, and start pickin your players.

*use your IM name as your team name, so everyone knows who's team is who. i'll set up the league today......

Posted by: Pepper

So now we have two leagues.

Posted by: Pepper

Not sure WTF Flex is doing ...so...we need at least one more owner to get to 12 in the orginal league. Also, anyone dropping out now, please let me know so you can be replaced.

Does everything have to be complicated?

Posted by: bludevil

I'd like to join one of the 2 leagues.

Well, i read the whole thread, and wouldnt you know it, there's no instructions whatsoever of how to join.

No, its not complicated. i simply suggested we all join a league that is fun, competitive and easy-as-hell to join. I posted ALL the instructions, one-by-one on how to register, join our league, build your own team, and play the game. whats so complicated about that?

Posted by: Flex

well, i wrote "i didnt get your pm, and if you could please pm me again" in my previous post, and i never got a response. so teh next idea that came to my head was why not start a league thats easy for everyone to join as well as fun.

if its not too late i'd still like to join your league. and even if we do yoru league, the other one is so simple its not a big deal to be in both....

either way, its not a big deal. if you guys wanna join the smallworld league, you still have have plenty of time (2mo.) to do it.

Posted by: Pepper

jeez, you gave me like a half an hour...alright, no biggie...have fun with the small world league, if you (or anyone else) wants in THIS league, let me know and I will PM you.

EDIT: I just saw your request and PM'd you. Let me know if there is a problem.

Posted by: Flex

i got your pm, thanks pepper.

only prob is when i was trying to register it said yahoo cannot do this at this time.

so i guess i'll try tommorow. i hope its not too late.

just let me know.......cuz i def wanna be in. thanks bro

Posted by: Pepper

OK. I set the league up as a 12 team league and we are full. We have one guy who wants in but will need to find ONE more to keep it an even number.

Posted by: Flex

hey pepper,

i registered w/yahoo, and selected a team name etc.

now, for some reason, i can't freakin sign into yahoo. its says "cookies rejected" for some reason. i tried changing my password multiple times and nothing worked. this is pretty freakin frustrating.

Posted by: Belfort11

is thier any room left in the leagues?

Posted by: ALBOB

Toward the bottom of the main IM Fantasy Football page is a space where you can post messages to the rest of the league. I already posted one WHICH REQUIRES AN ANSWER. You'll need to hit "view all" because it's been sitting there, lonely and ignored for so long.

Posted by: IainDaniel

Yeah I saw it ALBOOB. Something about you being a women. And if you win getting to spend a night with the man of your choice?

OK...be sure to have your list's entered in Yahoo by midnight. I will set the league to READY saturday morning.

It may take a day or so for the draft to process and I believe you can edit your list during this time, but I wouldn't count on it.

Posted by: Flex

Pepper,

i had a few q's about the draft that maybe you can answer.

1st, in the automated draft, does it just choose the next available highest ranked player for your pick, despite their position?

in other words, if i have 2rb's already, and the highest avail. is a rb, will it pick him? or will it pick a position you need with the next highest guy?

Also, are all the points similar? in other words, if my qb has an awesome game, and my rb has an awesome game, will they both have similar fantasy points for their games? cuz my buddy told me yahoo favors rb's.

either way, this little stuff would be nice to know cuz i dont know whether to preset my rankings or just leave them...........

thanks pep,

FLEX

Posted by: Pepper

I think, and I mean THINK, that it does the draft by position. So, your list is used position-by-position and the draft order is re-done to make sure all teams are treated equally. I have not done it before, so I don't know. I am glad this is not a money league b/c I don't know too much about it.

Unfortunately, I don't know much more.

Posted by: ALBOB

What happened? I thought the draft was gonna be this past Friday? Did I miss something?

k, thanks pepper.

only thing is it would be nice if we knew either way, ya know?

in other words, do i leave the default settings and get like Jamal Lewis (9th ranked RB) or would i rather have Payton Manning (#1 qb), but i'd get Lewis cuz he's higher on the list....

could we possibly have a live draft??

Posted by: Doublebase

I think we should do this.

Defintely, I'm in.
