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.

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.
Also, I will play only under the condition that I can have two teams. I'll gladly pay $100. (wink wink Christian)
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:
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:
Speaking of talented smack talkers..... where is DiscGo??? :ne_nau:
He should be signed up for this. :nod:
You're used to batting for both teams anyways. I'll pony up another $50 bucks for another team, just means I can take first and second. I've got a friend who will probably join since we're recuiting non UUtah people now.Quote:

I think ONE team per player is the fair way to go.... at least for now.
So... where do we stand?
Last I heard we had six who had ponyed up with some coin. Who else has ponyed up so I can add there name to the list.
Official list is on the first post in this thread.
:cool2:
I agree.Quote:

Comeon Dan.... send in your cash.... don't make me call ya a wussy!!!!

I'm a man of my word. Just wondering what the timeline is like, sucka.
Watch your paypal ichthys.
Live On-Line draft is set for Tue Sep 4 7:00pm MDT.
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.
So we don't actually do this in person, eh? I thought this was an excuse to get together and talk smack. On line doesn't seem as fun.
btw, the cash has been sent, suckas.
3 more spots left.
You still have time to give plasma to get the money for the entry fee.
We need all ten players before Sept 3.
Dan just ponied up the cash. He's officially in.
Send all pertinent info to his email account:
dansheeran@hotmail.com
thnx
Sweet... that puts us at 8. Lets all get to work. It would be nice to have a 10 team league.
:2thumbs:
Does he have the info to create his team?Quote:

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.Quote:

Draft time and be changed if we want to.Quote:

If you guys want to change it that's cool, if not I'll just live with my picks. I'm guessing the computer is at least smarter then Nelson :lol8:
So maybe set the draft for 8:30 Tuesday night and see if anyone bitches????
:popcorn:
Yahoo will only have a few select times to change it to. I tried to change our other leagues draft and the only times i could pick where before 11 in the morning. Check it out first before you commit to a time.Quote:

I'm really not to worried about letting yahoo draft for me. Only reason I like a live draft is I usually pick players from teams I like to watch on TV if they at near the top of my draft card.
:popcorn:
I'm cool with letting Yahoo pick according to my preset draft order. The main reason why I might be a little upset for missing a live draft is that I won't be able to meet any Red Bull girls. :mrgreen:
We now have an 8 team league and would like to make it 10. If we can get one more victim.... err.... I mean player I have someone to cover the 10th spot.
Come On folks.... even if you finish last you will get your money's worth in fun and enjoyment.
:nod:
Please make it at least a 10 team, also I am pro live draft via the internet, if you cant come yahoo will select it for ya which will be fine.
There is still one team that has not created their team, do it please.
Looks like this is going to be a 8 team league.

Well get off your lazy ass and find us anther player.... It's up to you to make the league what it is. I've already told you I have a 10th. I just told the guy he couldn't sign up unless we find one more because we didn't want an unbalnced league.Quote:

I don't have records of you sending payment.Quote:

Let's not do anything rash or stupid. We're too far now to just call it quits. Shane -- get your buddy to sign up, and let's scrounge up one more. Let's delay the draft for just one more day until we can get one more guy signed on.
Agree....
I'll have my victim signed up before 5 pm tonight...
:nod:
***DRAFT TIME HAS CHANGED TO WED SEPT 5 AT 1:00 PM***
Time choices were 7am-3pm, I figured around lunch time would work best for those participating in the live draft. If you cannot make that time set your draft to auto mode.
OK, I just signed up anther player.... so we are at 8 paid....
live2ride is status pending since no confirmed cash?
We need live2ride to get his cash in or striagthened out and one more player signed up.....
I'm also open to the idea of a player having two teams.... provided there is a rule of no trades between the two teams.
