Draft time is Monday, September 4th at 10:30pm EST. (Labor Day.)
A new feature to yahoo allows you to copy rules from a previous league, so I copied all the rules from last year’s league. Note that I changed turnover scoring to reflect the scoring from two years ago:
Interceptions: -3
Fumbles: -1
Fumbles lost: -2
No other rules changes were made. All rules are of course open to change if we want to, including the above noted change.
I can’t set the draft order until everyone joins the league. Also, if you’d like to change the draft time, mentioning it earlier rather than later would be good.
So, who’s going to unseat Mundi as the reigning two-time champ?
Will the Fanboys make the playoffs instead of the consolation bowl? Will Tiki justify his #2 overall draft position, or is he about to hit the wall?
Do CFL yards count for Ricky Williams? (BWAHAHAHAHA!)

Ah, that explains it. I was using the email listed in your SDMB account, which is bababooeyx@home.com. Note that both emails I sent to that address have bounced back after first “delaying.” Never having seen a “your email has been delayed” notification before, I was quite confused. Also, I never received the email you sent to me, and I checked my junkmail folder multiple times over the few days after you sent it to me. Just FYI.
Anyway, yes, I’ll send you an email to the yahoo address with the details right now.
I was wondering why I hadn’t heard from you. I sent it to the hotmail address listed; perhaps it got sidetracked into your junkmail folder?
Sending another email now…
Note that I sent two emails to the entire group; the first was asking about good draft times, and the second was a link to the league and this thread. I’m reluctant to spam people, and have a general aversion to sending anything to 13 people at a time, as that really feels like spam to me, so I limited myself to those two emails.
Anyone else who needs the info, just check in here and I’ll send it to you.
Kinda stupid, as this is “next year’s thread.” heh.
The deadline for declaring keepers is Tuesday, August 29th.
I’m not planning on being super-anal retentive or anything about this deadline. Basically, the idea is to declare keepers after the 3rd preseason game is over, when the injury risk has passed. But we do need a reasonable amount of time to fill our exclude lists in the draft pre-rankings, given the real possibility that someone would be going out of town labor day weekend.
Note that question #2 only applies to pre-draft trades, because the keeper limit only applies to declaring keepers for the draft. (After the draft, you can trade for as many keepers as you please.)
Hey there, I think I missed whatever email was sent out – could someone post the League ID# and password so I can get in?
Also,
Just so I’m sure I understand this correctly, you’re asking whether, when a player who is elegible to be kept is traded and later is in fact kept, which team’s 3-keeper limit is affected?
If that’s the question, then it’s the giver and don’t see how it could work any other way.
(1) He’s the one doing the keeping, so it counts against his limit.
(2) “You can only keep up to three players” seems like a perfectly simple and workable rule; why muck it up with needless exceptions?
(3) Isn’t this how we’ve been doing it so far? Or am I greatly mistaken and could have, last year, kept four players since I traded for McGahee, while my trade partner was only allowed to keep two?
