RMN Fantasy Football (THIRD UPDATE)

The Beef's Edit, 8/27...there are 7 spots taken...I would think we need at least 3 more.  The draft is tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.  Come on folks...hop on in and fight for some Rock M Braggin Rights!

The Boy's Edit, 8/25.  A couple of spots remain open, so if anybody's interested, jump in.

--

(EDIT: OK, in order to have more draft flexibility and thus increase the ability for people to participate, some major changes have been made. Everything is changed to be how it will be. I'm sorry, but it's the only way that everyone who wants to participate can do so.)

I certainly hope this isn't viewed as going over the site authors/administrators/overlords' heads, but I have created an Yahoo! Fantasy Football league with the intention of filling it with Rock M Nation patrons

Here's the really important stuff:

League ID #: 440551
URL: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/rmnffb
Password: motherrucker
Draft: Thursday, August 28 at 8:30pm ET (7:30pm CT)

Go and join. I assure you, a good time will be had by all.

All the ridiculous minutiae about the league after the jump.

Star-divide

10 teams, first come first served.

Here's the breakdown of the rosters:

1 QB
2 RBs
3 WRs
1 TE
1 Team DEF/ST
1 K
6 Bench

Here's the breakdown of the scoring:

Passing TD: 4
25 passing yards: 1
INT: -2
Rush TD: 6
10 rush yards: 1
Receiving TD: 6
10 receiving yards: 1
Any 2pt. conversion (pass/receive/rush): 2
Kickoff/punt/fumble/INT/blocked punt/blocked FG return for TD: 6
Fumble lost: -2
50+ FG: 5

40-49 FG: 4
40-39 FG: 3
FG miss: -1
PAT: 1
DEF 0pts allowed: 10
DEF 2-6pts allowed: 7
DEF 7-13pts allowed: 4
DEF 14-20pts allowed: 1
DEF 21-27pts allowed: -1
DEF 28-34pts allowed: -4
DEF 35+pts allowed: -7
DEF 46+pts allowed: -10
DEF INT: 2
DEF fumble recovery: 2
DEF blocked PAT/FG: 2
DEF safety: 2
DEF sack: 1

Here's the breakdown of the playoffs:

Top 4 teams by record after Week 14 advance to playoffs (tiebreaker is total points)
Two rounds, one weeks each

That's it. Again, the draft is August 28 at 8:30pm ET (that's 7:30pm CT...thanks a lot, Ben Franklin, with your newfangled "time zones").

If you have any questions, reply to this and I'd be happy to respond.

No, money down!

I’m in. League won in 30 minutes or less or your pizza is free.

Will...I...be...able...to...play...softball...tomorrow?
Oh, no, Mr. Scioscia. At this time tomorrow, you'll barely be able to breathe.

I'll join...though anyway we can get that draft time moved back?

Some of us are older than others around here :-)

Moved back as in earlier?

There’s now a referenda up there to move it up to 2pm CT. Needs six votes to pass. Rally the troops, Beef!

Oh good lord man...2pm? Really?

Personally, I COULD do 10:00 p.m., but only because I have the next day off. However, something like 8:00 p.m. or so might get a few more people interested or available :-)

Yeah, I know.

But the problem is that ESPN only allows it at certain times, presumably for bandwidth issues. Unfortunately, I can’t just say “alright, let’s do it at 8pm instead of 10pm.” It doesn’t work that way, sadly.

We could do it on Friday, Aug. 29 at either 6pm or 9pm. What works best for everyone?

How about using another league then?

Might be able to get something extremely similar through yahoo (which I have used and enjoyed before) with more flexibility on time of draft…am thinking the Friday before a 4-day weekend (and the MIzzou opener) ain’t gonna happen either :-)

Let me explore Yahoo!.

OK.

MAJOR changes have been made. Uribe, I’m really sorry to do this, but you need to sign up for the Yahoo! league. I know, I’m an ass, but we already knew that.

Again, I’m sorry, but hopefully this will make everyone a lot more available for the league.

I'm in...again

This time, instead of an esoteric Simpsons reference, I went with an esoteric Sunny reference.

I kind of feel constrained, though. As a Bears fan, should I be barred from having any good wide receivers?

Oh, no, Mr. Scioscia. At this time tomorrow, you'll barely be able to breathe.

Jesus..you people move fast...

No no no...

…I believe mcboomofdoom was joking that he would finish last, not that he was taking the last spot in the league. There are six more spots available. You’re good to join, Beef.

If it is only 7, we probably need to bail...

OK, here are the options:

-Roll with seven people.
-Open it up to put three strangers in to fill the league.
-Screw it.

…I’m in. That’ll make 8. I can’t mentally handle more than one fantasy team, but I’ll give it a shot this year.

By the way...

…I can’t draft because I’m at work and am behind a firewall. So…I’ll be looking to make some sweet, sweet trades soon.

is it me...

or is nothing happening? guess i’ve never done an on-line draft before. only in person

by Wooderson on Aug 28, 2008 7:44 PM CDT   0 recs

It looks like...

… the odd numbers forced the draft to delay. Apparently the draft got pushed back into an autodraft at a later date.

Grr. This sucks.

In other news, I am no longer afraid of the Baylor game. Sweet merciful Science, they are terrible.

…I dropped out, and that got rid of the odd number, right?
