im in, registered as the italian stallions

 

[Lenny Briscoe]

I assume days are completely off the agenda due to work/school?

And I'll guess Saturday day, and Sunday day is off because people will be going to the footy, which leaves nights...

Best nights for me are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Thursday night if that's best for everyone else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed when I was creating a league for my friends and I that the times for the Live draft were pretty limited, which might put a spanner in the Live Draft works.

E.G. Can only start drafts between 11pm and 1pm, meaning no draft start time between 1-10pm, which I'm guessing would put quite a few people out.

If that is the case, then my next preferred option would be Auto-pick.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last thing, I promise...

Is it possible to cut one of/or both W/R or W/T, cos there's definitely not enough decent TEs to go around to even think of starting two, barely enough RBs to allow anyone to start 3, meaning most people will be trying to start 5 WRs, which would kill the depth at the position.

Basically, if a player gets a season ending injury, they're going to be replaced on the roster by guys who barely play a down.


What does everyone else think?

 

[Lenny Briscoe]

i cut the w/t and reduced the wr to 2 and left in the w/r

 

[Lenny Briscoe]

i have temporarily booked n a live draft on wed 3rd august at 10 am. who cannot draft at that time, cause as fuey said, times re restrctive as the earliest at night is 11 pm

pre draft rankings are where you place all the players in an order as to how you think they should be ranked, so when it is your turn to pick you get whoever is the highest player left on your draft board. you do this if you can't attend a live draft

No I'm not a fan of Joey Silvera infact don't exactly know who he is?

My team name is the title of a Rage Against The Machine album, I believe it's about corporations...

Fair enough...

Joey Silvera is a Director for a production company called "Evil Empire"...

[Lenny Briscoe]

Not concerned here. Like some people say they want to put the draft off till last minute because offseason injuries occur but as far as im concerned thats just part of the game... and the luck...

I've got a draft 10am sunday morning... but im pretty flexible. I c you had a wednesday draft there... if push came to shove I could take a sickie... *cough* *cough*

Yeah, agree there.

My Hawks aren't going anywhere fast at the minute, so I'm looking to get the NFL season started ASAP

As long as it's not the week before the season starts so there can be some trading done id someone doesn't like their team.

 

[Lenny Briscoe]

draft is set for friday july 1st at 10 am. if you can't make the draft, make sure you have your players pre-ranked before then. i know this won't suit everyone, but in reality, no one really knows what is going to happen in regard to form or injuries, so drafting has minimal impact in my opinion. just a hint, yahoo defauklt player rankins for defensive players are terrible so make sure you put good defensive players in your pre-rank list otherwise you will be stuck with no-names

[crazy_big_al]

can i get in. I have been busyt with uni exams

if i can please PM me

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

Draft time suits me ok - should be able to steal our net pc at work for a few minutes that day.
Lenny, are the settings now finished and are they going to be kept as are?

 

[Lenny Briscoe]

the settings are still somewhat open to discussion, but they are pretty much ok at the moment i think

we have more interest for people joining the league, so i had to expand it to 14 teams, so now there is one spot open

 

[fuey]

I think the settings are pretty good as is...

If we get any more than 14 people, I think we should open a second league, cos we're really pushing the quality player limit at 14 teams.

If it gets's to 16 teams, we'll split it into two leagues of 8 teams, that way there can be more scoring positions also...

 

[Pembleton]

I have joined to make it 14. Team name is The Wanderers.

 

[Lenny Briscoe]

you're right fuey. 14 is absolutley max. what i did was moved one of the fixed rb positions to a flex w/r so that during bye weeks the rb's aren't as stretched.

i regard to the draft time. does saturday morning suit better than friday
