Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our league! I decided to go ahead and set it up and this way we get a decent draft time and lots of time to modify things. Hopefully we can get a whole bunch of people in this, or maybe you guys want to limit it, another thing we can change. Anyhoo, if you want to sign up now or in a month, feel free.



You can see the league settings on the side bar right at this registration page. These are the same settings I used for my league last year and it seemed to work out well.

League Name: TPF Fantasy Football
PW: tpftpftpf

I hate the scoring system , and as it stands, there's no way I coul make that draft time, since that's when my REAL FFL draft is.

Apparently it all sucks, but try to break the problem areas down a bit so I can try and modify, Mr. Constructive. And what day is best for everyone? The times go quick in the next couple of weeks so let me know. I want to point out though, that at least this system doesn't contribute to Peyton's team winning, like last years. I think this one is pretty balanced.

It's way too high for defense, for starters. I hate when defensive scoring (more of a crapshoot than anything else) decides fantasy football games.

I would recommend scheduling it for a Wedensday night, around 9:30 - those are our best turnouts for tourneys, so it stands to reason they would be for this as well. During the day on weekend is a bad idea. How about the Wednesday after you have it now? 9/6? That's right before the season starts, so any last minute injuries will be known too.

As I agree with, and now remember, that defensive scoring is fickle at times I went ahead and lowered their point values a good bit. However, I do not think it is so fickle as to delete individual defensive players all together. And the draft time has been changed to September 6th, 9:30 EST .

I hate defense in FF.

Good draft time though - we are getting there!

Geoff, since you were posting the point totals, I figured you may have an opinion on my system. I essentially doubled the points to allow for a little more tweaking room. Let me know if you guys have suggestions!!

TP, you'll have the $10 on Stars prior to the draft tomorrow night.

Here's a thought: why don't we have a private sitngo on Stars whilst we draft? I'm down for a $10 + 1.

Ok, we are 22 hours until draft time. Here is the list of who has paid up, or at least confirmed they want to play:

Bulldawgs - gtdawg (confirmed, but not paying)
Coolieo's Crushers -
Da Bears - jillaj
Dirty Birdz - thrash
Donquitas58 - Aeq
Funging Dominate - lightfungus
Gordogg's Chiefs - Gordogg
HolyMackerel - nflchad
LA Preds - omahilo (semi-confirmed)
Mr. Monday Night - GeoffM (semi-confirmed)
PokieOkie - drewjax (semi-confirmed)
Rogue - TP
RedskinsKMB - kmb
RushNAttack -BlibbityBlabbity

That's 8 teams that have paid, plus 3 more who have promised to pay. I have no problem waiting a few days for the funds from those guys. That leaves the following three teams:

Bulldawgs - gtdawg
Wants to play, but doesn't want to pay. I think we should let him play and just not be eligible for prize money in the end. Friendly like.

Coolieo's Crushers -
No response, hasn't logged in for a while, etc. I say we remove him from the league and replace him with juiCe[3x] who wants to play. Can you go ahead and do that, fungus?

Gordogg's Chiefs - Gordogg
Don't know why he hasn't responded/paid yet, but I'm sure he will. I just PM'd him.

I think that about wraps it up. If for some reason we don't hear from Gordogg by tomorrow afternoon, we could boot his team and not replace Coolieo's, so we'll still have an even number of teams. If that happens and juice has already paid, I'll either send the money back to him or we can let his paying self play and boot gtdawg.

Hopefully Gordogg will come through and we'll be all set for tomorrow night. See you girls at the draft.
