No, that's cool. I think one league I was in had like, -4 for both as the guy didn't understand the difference. That works pretty well. Oh, and shouldn't incompletes be -1?

*snickers* Yeah, yeah, let's reward QBs for sucking! Kidding, kidding, -1 for incompletes works well.
I am curious about the 75 return yards per point - who ever amasses that much in a game, let alone on one return? I know the passing yards per point is normally around 30 or so, but I think I like it being a bit lower, mostly because I'm sick of scoring 22 points in a game. More points + loss = still happy me.
I'm The Bombs. Again. Take it for what it's worth.

My bad about the incompletes. I meant -1, I'll change it immediately. That would be a weird league...

I'm in as Graywolfe Paradigm, obviously, last year I think was Monkey Death Car. Went 13-0 to start the year, then lost two in a row to end it, rather annoying to say the least. Anyway, still don't know when my local money league draft is, and I have a draft on sunday, the 5th that I can't miss. Also have three live drafts going on in antsports now, but they have a 12 hour timer for picks so that won't get in the way. More People Join, needs to be at least a 10 team league.

Eight would probably be the minimum and that's what we have. We probably need ten for a good league. Twelve or fourteen would be much better. Who was in the league last year that isn't this year?

Draft as soon as we hit a decent number and depends if it looks like anymore are going to join. Right now we can't draft with 9, gotta be an even number.
Maybe Shlomo will be the tenth and I'm going to reiterate for the umpteenth time that I'll turn it over to him if he does come back.

That's hard when there's only 9 and we need a minimum of 10.
When are people available for a live draft since that's what everyone wants if it can happen? Times and days and I'll if its possible. If its not does anyone want to do the offline Hatrack draft instead of auto?

Saturday morning would work good for me for the draft.
If there isn't a tenth player, why not just fill in a random team, with its draft choices taken in turn by each of the participants?

I would rather make it a team of backup kickers.
Preferably more general time wise. For example: "mon, wed, fri afternoon and night, tue and thr morning and night, saturday and sunday afternoon and night"
If there are exceptions, for example you're out of town on a certain day, include that.
I think we need to wait at least until after Frances before the draft because that could be a reason why Shlomo isn't here. After Frances, if we have an even number, I'll start it ASAP.

We have 11 now! Which means I have to either kick someone out or wait for a twelth. I'm definitely cutting the max to 12 in the meantime though and anyone after that can post that they want in. If two want in I'll increase it to 14, and keeping on doing the same thing until we're full or ready to start.

We have 12 now but apparently one is going to drop. So post or email me if you still want to join. There are spots open but it won't let you join unless I change the setting.

I haven't heard from Shlomo, but Ela posted regarding Frances and I do know that 2,000,000 Floridians are without power so I'm going to wait until after the storm and power is restored. Unfortunately, I'm another story as it isn't going to hit me until Monday or Tuesday.
Edited twice to increase 450,000 to 2,000,000 and Sunday to Tuesday.

and its 8:00 PM now. I actually made a mistake and it was 8:00, I thought Yahoo was smart and had done what it usually does and had adjusted to my settings, instead it was PST. All is well now or so I hope.

Draft is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 8:00 PM EST.
We can add one more team so someone can sign up at Yahoo! or get someone you know to sign up. The problem is that Xavier asked for his team to be deleted so that opened a spot.
I completely forgot about it this year. And was upset for a good ten minutes(!) Sunday that I was going to miss out on it. And then decided to randomly check the thread this morning and see how it was going.
That's what I call providence.
A couple questions:
Till when can I still make changes to my pre-rankings?
It's a live draft? Do I have to be there?
Shouldn't fumbles lost lose you more points than a regular fumble?

I think the draft is tonight. The two fumbles categories are cumulative, IE you lose 2 points for any fumble, and an add'l 2 for fumbles your team doesn't recover.

Well, my internet at home is on the fritz, so I won't be able to take part in the live draft. Hopefully my pre-selects will work for me.
Sopwith at work...
Dang it, gonna be stuck picking Steve Smith early... wish I'd have been able to modify it after last night's game. Posts: 472 | Registered: Aug 2004

Heh, my brother (in my own league) preselected early in the year. He's a Dolphins fan. Yeah, that's two picks for Ricky and Boston down the tubes. He happens to have McCardell the holdout commando, too. Poor guy. Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

So whose confident and whose not? I think I could go 13-1 again, and then get the shaft, hard, in the opening round of the playoffs, like last year. Posts: 752 | Registered: Jul 2002

Not confident at ALL. I'll feel better when some of my guys score their normal points (this means you, Trent).

Alright! Can't wait to see how this works out.
My favorite team has lost their two best players, but I got lucky enough to have drafted both of their backups.
