trouser crabs ftw!

how about draft date of next weekend (13th or so)

These draft slots are available that weekend:

(All times are in PDT)

SAT, Aug 13
every hour from 6am to 8pm

SUN, Aug 14
every hour from 6am-12pm
8pm

Also, I can't change the draft order until I lock the draft which means everyone has to click that they're active. (we've got 6 teams now)

I think the sunday is good for me - means it's monday morning here

I'm in.

Lets do Sunday night I guess

not my favorite but if it works for 2i and his autodraft schedule.....

I'm in!!! Might have to figure that auto draft thingy out though...

Do you guys really want to do the draft this Sunday?  If so, it looks like most times on Sunday are now open.

We've still only got 7 teams.  I assume Spanky will be in, but I'm not sure about Fuzzy or stroh.

If we end up with an odd number, I should be able to find someone to join at the last minute.

well, when I proposed it, I did so because I didn't know if I was going to be available any other weekend this month.
my schedule is a bit more determined, but not completely so.

so I guess this is getting delayed?
heh

Yes.  We still have an odd number of teams.  I'm working on it.

No Doodius Maximus?

someone call that punk!

OK, it looks like Doodius and Fuzzy are out.  So it'll only be 8 teams this year.  Should be interesting to see how that changes things.

I'm about to lock the teams so I can set the draft order.

OK, according to this thread:
http://www.golfhos.com/topic-14391.15

The draft order based on last season's results is:
1. Darla
2. Spanksters
3. Penis Party
4. Failin Palins
5. Cream Dream Supreme
6. Leaders O'Cola
7. Waikato Trousercrabs
8. Dystopian Solutions

I remember talking about having the draft on a Sunday evening, so 2iron can make it.

So we've got 2 choices:

Sunday, August 28
Sunday, Sept 4


Any preferences between this Sunday or next?

I'm easy

Just send a message through Yahoo to let me know.....

Actually, I would prefer this Sunday, I already have a draft the following weekend.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

OK, I just set the draft for this Sunday.
Sun Aug 28 4:15pm PDT(6:15pm Central).
(I don't think we actually have anyone on Eastern time in the league)

If this time is bad, please let me know ASAP.  The next later available time is 7:30pm PDT.

I'll also send out this info through Yahoo.

Also would anyone prefer a 4 team playoff instead of 6 teams?  The settings just carried over from last year.

6 teams in the playoffs made sense with a 10 person league, but seems like a lot for an 8 person league and would make the regular season less important.

Let me know if you have a preference or any thoughts on the matter.

All good to go here.

Cheers

good for me.
I'd like some scoring changes more than playoffs changes

What scoring changes do you have in mind?

Defensive Yards Allowed 0-99    50    0
Defensive Yards Allowed 100-199    10    0

So what are the differences from the current rules?

I see one point for long plays, points for big yardage days, negative points for missed FG/PAT, three and outs forced and points for defensive yards allowed.

Anyone favor/oppose these changes?  We've only got one day till the draft, so let me know if you feel strongly either way.  I'm not crazy about making last minute changes which could screw up someone's draft strategy that they've been perfecting for the last week with mock drafts/simulations. (i.e. ranking Tebow over Favre under the previously understood scoring)

i [asted the yahoo defaults!
 [sm_devil]

also note the position differences ;)

Based on the lack of comments on either the playoff or scoring changes, I think we're going to have to discuss this in draft chatroom when everyone's together after the draft today.

That's cool with me

OK, I just made the changes we talked about in chat.

1) Playoffs changed from 'Week 15, 16 and 17 (6 teams)' to 'Week 16 and 17 (4 teams)'

I also made the scoring changes for:
2) Points for long plays
3) Minus points for missed hicks


Log:
40 Yd Rush points set to '1'
40 Yd Comp points set to '1'
40 Yd Rec points set to '1'
FGM 0-19 points set to '-5'
FGM 20-29 points set to '-3'
PAT Miss points set to '-5'

Oops.  [sm_anon]

Autodraft got a great team for you.  Ray Rice, Vick, Vincent Jackson... Also I don't see anyone with preseason injury or contract concerns on your team.

Steven Jackson in the 5th round(36th) was probably the Steal of the Draft.  Most projections had him going 19-22.

My biggest issue with autodraft is it tends to pick Kickers early.

I got home a little after 8pm, and it was already over. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't show up earlier.  ;D

In my money league, I traded away Peyton Manning last week when Indy activated him off the PUP list. Then I picked up Kerry Collins off the waiver wire today.  ;D

That really sux ass

I think maybe that I need to get rid of all of my good players and go for the WORST season on record!!!!! [sm_devil]

I could use a WR
have some TE to offer

haha! Do you really think that I would let you have the upper hand over anyone else.  ;D [sm_devil]

I may have to look in this when I am not watching the World Series. Let's go Rangers, let's go.

hook me up!
 ;D

Sorry Aske. After consulting about your offer, it would not benefit me to accept.

Arian Foster with a big day  [sm_shock]

wow I lucked into that close win
 [sm_shock]

So how am I going this year?

Tough season for Penis Party. #3 in points-for but going to miss the playoffs. 2 losses by less than 4 points and one by less than 1.  [sm_shock]

Congrats to Darla! I thought I had the win when Romo went down, but my guys forgot to score any points.

Looks like the gleek-aske game will go down to the wire.

lol, i dont deserve *feces*. my team sucks

OMG, How the hell did that happen!!!!!

Darla's making a late charge!  [sm_shock]

Damn it! Had my one player not been out I would have pulled off a second upset of the year! Congrats aske!

Congrats to Aske on the championship.  PM sent for prize details.

a shameful win
but i'll take it
