rue i think we all prefer yahoo. i'm not even sure i have an espn account. all my leagues are yahoo, cbs, and mfl. hopefully thats not too much of a pain in the neck.

not a pain in the neck. Ill get the invites out tomorrow (monday)

[LUconn]

I already PMed out B league info. I think Mallet may have already set up A league.

We still have room though, it's only 8 people.

A league commish, post your league settings so I can make ours identical.

And finally, what's everybody's preference on draft? Draft or should we get auction another try?

[BJWilliams]

Id go with the regular style draft personally.

[jbock13]

Auction draft sounds interesting, but it'd be my first time doing it in any sport. I'd be okay with either a snake or auction.

[jbock13]

scoring sounds good to me.

[Jkill617]

Im pumped for Football Season! Panthers are going to go 16-0...........

[rueful]

auction draft so much better. Even if you blow 99% of your money on DeSean Jackson

[RubberMallet]

i don't care how we draft. i say both leagues do it the same though, and i guess its majority.

[rueful]

more importantly before we get into style though, is the draft date ok with everyone? last year both leagues drafted at the same time, which was kind of nice, but I suppose not a necessity.

I like the auction because it makes it more of a challenge. The live draft is kind of just luck of the draw in the order, and with auction you can get who you want but you will have to pay for them. Its the same idea behind why I like having the option of a wr/rb player as opposed to 3 rbs and 2 wr set or vise versa, makes it more of a game then simply who has the best 3 rbi's each week.

[RubberMallet]

you still have to make the right picks. i'm not to concerned with a snake draft and i'll be honest, after last year (at least in our league) of having 3 teams absolutely annialate everyone else because of the auction draft, i'm not sure people will want to go back to it. or we'll have a ton of no shows to the draft.

[jbock13]

So the draft will be Tuesday at 1? After 2:30 I have to go to History class

I would think it would be better to either do it on a Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday Night.

edit: B league is set for a tuesday at 1. I'm not sure what A league's is.

[Schfourteenteen]

I'm good for the A-League time, although 8:30 PDT is probably late for some

I had Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and had the least amount of points scored in our league (or close to it at least) and I was league champion.

This is why I don't like yahoo. We can't do the draft whenever we choose, and I didn't realize it was pacific time. Monday August 29th, 6:15 Easter time was the only other option (unless everyone is able to do it during the day)

[vastrightwinger]

I won't be able to do it any weekday after 7:30am or before 5:30pm. ESPN and Yahoo fantasy are both blocked at work.

[jcmanson]

I'm the same.

you should be able to. set it in the morning. every morning they add draft spots and its first come first serve until the next day.

[RubberMallet]

anytime works for me this month.

[jcmanson]

There's only 6 people registered for the A League. Where's the others?

[rueful]

UTEP and Prairie wildfire haven't checked in and then two others that are bolded haven't sent me their emails, but I don't know which two that is. They, most likely, do .

[jbock13]

So B league is drafting in 2 weeks, Tuesday 1PM? Kind of a strange time.

[LUconn]

it was just what they gave us automatically. I was going to try and set it for the same night as A league. The draft style and date still seems very up in the air. Let's nail it down.

Okay. Thursday through Sunday would work best for me. Monday night too.

That's just my schedule. Like everyone else here, I can't do a draft during 7AM-7PM, every day except Saturday.

Let's just see what others playing in B league would like. My vote would be on a Sunday night.

Also, perhaps we should draft during the Labor Day Weekend? I'll be at the NC State game saturday night, but more of us would probably have time to draft. Also, we could more easily take in to consideration injuries during the preseason, hold-outs, etc.

I'd prefer a snake draft, but I'd be okay with an auction draft.
