Ice taking control of this first post so we can keep track of who is paid up and playing!!!

Paid players are:
icthys
Ice
Accadacca
Rockgremlin
Nelsonccc
Blue Dragons
Live2Ride
CarpeyBiggs
Dan From Monti




When does it start? Who is in charge? WTF? :lol8:

Enter Ice and Storm...

Hey, Rock.... I think openning this to the general population is a very poor idea until you check with last years players and see if we even have any open spots.

Last years players should be given first options to play again. Filling open spots has never been a problem.

But now you started this.... anyone talk to Itchys yet?

Live draft this year? We need to pick a date and draft HQ. We can use my house if you guys like. I'm centrally located and have a compter connection and computer for everyone who would want to attend.

Also work nice that way for you out of towners....

:cool2:

OK, here is last season's roster:

1. Savage Injuns (Rockgremlin)

2. Vegas Strippers (nelsonccc)

3. WHO'S YOUR DADDY? -- unsure of the uutah username, the manager is Shane R

4. WASATCH WASPS (Icthys)

5. Royd Landis -- unsure of the uutah username, the manager is Shane Roe

6. Ice (Iceaxe)

7. PURPULR_PEOPLE_EATER -- unsure of the uutah username, the manager is nhendr9 -- I believe also that he dropped out midseason.

8. Rusty Trombones (Live2Ride)

9. Big Balls (Accadacca)

10. P-DIDDY CREW unsure of the uutah username, the manager is Shane H




A few questions arise: Why are there so many Shanes in this league? And why does "Shane R" have two spots in our league?

Players from last season have an automatic berth in the 2007 UUtah league unless you dropped out midseason.

Hey, Rock.... whomever was the player who would not set his rooster last season needs to be dumped from our league.....

....also, if this is growing in popularity we can run two FF leagues. Maybe make one a little more high dollar then the other?

Maybe make the buy in $25 and $50 or something?

Just kicking around a few ideas. Maybe make the $25 league and auto draft so those just starting out don't get swamped? And the $50 for the pro's a live draft?

Hey.... I'm not making up the rules.... just tossing out ideas :lol8:

I'd say its cool to do both leagues if we need folks to fill both leagues.... but if we are turning folks away I'd say only one league per person. I really envision the $25 league as an entry level league for those who want to give it a try. And after all that chest thumping of yours above I figured you would certainly sign up for the big dog league :haha:

There is also going to be more options for payouts this year.

Could be due to the fleaflicker. A lot of people don't like it, it's supposed to be cumbersome. Why did we go away from Yahoo? Besides Yahoo isn't blocked at my office like FleaFlicker is.

Iceaxe
08-10-2007, 07:42 PM
Lets get this worked out and get the show on the road. So what's the deal folks..... to expensive? don't like fleaflicker?

I like the current buy in, I'd like a 10 team league, I'd like to see payout at seasons end to the top 3, one team per person, and I prefer Yahoo.... but I'll do whatever....

If cutting it back to $25 will fill this out fast that's no problem.

My complaint was not with flea flicker per say.... it was that I would have to learn a new system and I don't have time for that right now. I'm comfortable in Yahoo and know where everything is so I can manage my team in a minimum of time.

:roflol: I'm gonna roll you guys up again this year. Last year I never should have even been in the top three, but I managed to scrape my way to the top. My roster was mediocre to begin with because the draft dealt me a bunch of shitasses that were on the injured list right off the bat. IMHO I think Ice got raped -- he had the strongest roster, but the mid-season injuries killed him.

Why are we lowering the entry fee? I keep hearing that "if we lower the fee, then we'll get a flood of people signing up." I'm just concerned that we'll lower the fee, and still nobody will sign up.

Whatever? I really don't mind the fee and I am actually in a league with double our fee this year too. I think 10 team and above leagues are more fun. I just hope in our scrambling to find players that we don't get peeps that wont end up managing their team from week to week. Its also fun when they are active members of uutah. The trash talking on the forum is as fun as any of it. Could we grab the contact info (email) from all our players last year on Yahoo, give them a holla and see if they are interested??? :ne_nau:

Iceaxe
08-22-2007, 02:50 PM
Lets keep the entry fee at $50 and just do a little recruiting. :2thumbs:

I'm 99% positive I can get at least one more.... but I was hoping more uutah members would step up to the plate.

CarpeyBiggs
08-22-2007, 03:05 PM
I'd step up, but I have no idea how fantasy football even works. Is there like a noobie course I can see what the hell I'm getting myself into?

Also, I kinda like the idea of kicking Christian's ass, and taking his money.

CarpeyBiggs
08-22-2007, 03:06 PM
Also, I will play only under the condition that I can have two teams. I'll gladly pay $100. (wink wink Christian)

Iceaxe
08-22-2007, 03:19 PM
Oh damn.... this will be fun :nod: I was hoping you would join.

As for noobie..... once you get your team spend an hour playing with the controls... and then feel free to start asking questions. Its really pretty easy to play. The Yahoo FAQ answers most your question... we'll answer any others.

First thing you will want to do is visit draft central and set your draft line up. Yahoo will do this for you if you don't and I think Yahoo does a pretty nice job. If you miss the live draft Yahoo picks your players from the list by the order you have them. As a noob I would suggest you just take the Yahoo list and maybe do a few minor adjustments with it....

I'm almost thinking I will let Yahoo pick my entire team just to see how it compares to the so called experts :haha:

Once the season is under way you just have to set your starting line up each week. As a noob watch out for those offering trades the first few week. Also, learn about waviers.... thats the best place to find new/better players for your team.

A lot of this is luck, just like real football. You have to hope your team stays injury free to go deep in the playoffs.

:popcorn:

rockgremlin
08-22-2007, 03:30 PM
Fantasy Football is pathetically easy. After the first game of the season, you'll know almost everything you need to know to successfully run a team. Two years ago, I started playing FF with a healthy dislike for the NFL, and no previous knowledge of how to play, and I've busted into the FF championships every year.

I really hope you join up. We could use someone else with a talent for talking smack. :cool2:

So we need everything finalized no later then the 3rd of Sept.

You guys should all check out the Yahoo draft and make sure you can get on. They have a test button somewhere I found yesterday. Push the button and your computer checks to make sure you can draft on-line.

Hey.... I won't be around for the live draft since my little league football team has practice til 8pm so you guys are on your own on where to have it. I just plan to set my player line-up and live with the Yahoo picks.

We still need two more players. I'm pretty sure I can drag in one more but don't want to until we get a 9th so we have an even number of teams.... so get on it.

We need a 10th team within the next couple of hours.....

I do have one suggestion.... We give the team away for free, whomever manages the team can not win any money. If this free team makes the playoffs the cash would be split on a percentage bases between those who made the playoffs....

for example, if the free team finishes 2nd the cash is split between 1st an 3rd. If the free team wins the league the cash is split between 2nd and 3rd.....

We would need someone to actively manage the team, maybe one of the Mormon boys who don't believe in gambling but would like to play in a competitive league?

Also.... this free team guy might find he likes playing and join us next year.

Come One folks.... we need to get on it!!!! I'd be interested in all suggestions we only have a couple hours to get this fixed....

I admit, I've screwed this one up, I didn't get the league ready for draft time.

With all the confusion on getting enough players and the HUGE proposal I need to get out today it slipped my mind that I had to set us to live and ready.

The next available live draft time is Tuesday if that's how everyone wants to do it. Or, I can set it to auto since it sounded like most if not all were doing it auto anyway.

If you all feel I screwed up to bad I'll refund all your money. I'd like to still play. Let me know what you want to do.

I got a email from yahoo sports stating we didn't have enough players for the Live Draft which I did have set to READY, at drafting time. When this happens Yahoo Sports resets the draft to AUTO and to NOT READY.

That is a little nice to hear letting me know I did have things ready to draft, there just wasn't enough players.

I'm still setting to auto draft with a completely random order with hopes of making the first week.

If you feel like you get screwed because this gets changed to auto draft you can call 1-800-CRY-BABY, then take the team you've been drafted and kick some ass and take 1st place.

About 30 minutes before our first scheduled draft you could view the draft order that was picked randomly by the computer. It was only up for about 5 minutes. When Rock created the Cockblockers it disappeared and never reset.

Only thing I remember for sure was I was at #4 because I went and set my autodraft to pick who I thought would stiil be around through my first 2 picks.

Since I was the 2nd person to create a team I would have been #2 if it was just your sign up order.

I'm also not positive that the order listed will be the true draft order. I read somewhere in the info that draft order will be randomly shuffled 30 minutes before the draft. I'm positive this is what happened last year. So don't count 100% on the order shown being accurate.

:cool2:

Iceaxe
09-05-2007, 03:14 PM
Yeah.... I wouldn't trust the draft order currently posted too much... this is on Yahoo Help.....

How is the draft order determined?

Draft order for Public Leagues is determined randomly approximately 30 to 60 minutes prior to the beginning of the draft.

Commissioners of Custom Leagues can specify the order of the draft in their league by:

Clicking the "Commissioner Tools" link on the league home page.
OR

Choosing the "Edit Draft Order" tool.

With all the confusion on getting enough players and the HUGE proposal I need to get out today it slipped my mind that I had to set us to live and ready.

The next available live draft time is Tuesday if that's how everyone wants to do it. Or, I can set it to auto since it sounded like most if not all were doing it auto anyway.

If you all feel I screwed up to bad I'll refund all your money. I'd like to still play. Let me know what you want to do.

If anyone else wants to take over commish let me know and I'll hand it over.

I definately want to do a live draft. If we miss out on the first week of scoring so be it. Autodraft sucks ass especially in A $50 league. Also i just noticed that the scoring was changed to give RB's more points. It should be one point for every ten yards no matter the position. Now defenses get more points for return yards than WR's. WTF? I thought this was all agreed upon months ago. I don't want to be a bitch but we got to get this shit right.

I don't mind the auto draft. The winner isn't determined by who drafts the best players, but who makes the best decisions during regular season play.

I agree it should be 1 point per ten yards, regardless of position. So, 1 point = 10 yards for WRs, RBs, TEs, and punt/kickoff returns.

How is the draft order determined?

[i]Draft order for Public Leagues is determined randomly approximately 30 to 60 minutes prior to the beginning of the draft.

Donovan opened a can of whoopass. I had him on my bench till about 9:55. Then i changed my mind and put him in insted of Favre. Although Favre was only 6 points lower. Who's to hoping Brees throws a lot of pics and nothing to Colston.

The luck is actually vegas with 186 points one week. sjullkrakas 180 points one week. It's consistiency that wins and the fact that I am averaging 139 points a week, within 10 points a week of the top 3 right now.

You need to address your team this weekend because the BYE weeks begin.

I changed my starters around this week. Should be a little better. I haven't figured out how to do the waivers and stuff, is it worth worrying about?

The reason I missed the first couple of weeks is because the draft got screwed, and I went down to escalante for 10 days. Tough to manage a team from down there. Don't be hating on me for that... Truth be told, I was looking forward to a live draft, but when it didn't happen, I lost some interest, combined with going out of town.

Oh yeah, and I have Deuce McAllister, Marc Bulger, and Rex Grossman. Talk about dead friggin' weight. McA and Bulger are injured, and Rex is Rex.

Just replace Rex and Duce with the best guys you can find. Hit players at the top of the menu and it will tell you who is avaiable. Everyone gets hit with injuries during the year.... just part of the game.

As for waviers its really easy. If a player is dropped by anther team he shows up in avaiable players with a W after his name. If a player is on waviers everyone in the league can ask for him for two days. The guy listed as #1 in wavier order gets him. Since you are currently listed as #1 you get first shot at any guy on waviers.

If you think your star RB is hurt you hurry and pick up his back-up. It's called a "hand cuff" and you will usually not get hurt to bad at RB. Let the star sit on the bench and play the back up until the star is better..... But you also have Gore sitting on the bench so you can always play him.

Seriously slim pickins on the QBs. I would go with neither of your options. I would go after either Damon Huard or Chad Pennington, and I would favor Chad out of the two. He appears to be the most solid option among the remaining good (or somewhat good) QBs.

Baltimore's D is an enigma. I had their defense last year, and they were money -- consistently the best D every single week. Some weeks I would get 20+ points outta them. Baltimore's D is one reason why I went all the way last year. I'm tempted to say hold on to them for at least another week or two, and if they still suck, then dump em, but Detroit's D has doubled Baltimore's D in points so far this year, and at the number two spot (AND STILL AVAILABLE IN THE WAIVERS!!) I would have to recommend dumping Baltimore for Detroit. I never woulda thought Minnesota's D would be the best so far this year. They sucked last year.

Just a few thoughts -- hope this helps.
