I have scheduled the draft for March 27th at 6:30 pm (that’s Pacific time). If that time is not convenient for you and you still want to participate, and enough people agree that it’s a problem, the time can be changed.
League stats:
It’s a rotisserie league set-up, but I’ve changed some of the settings from the defaults. It will be a league of twelve teams, 26 players per team (plus two DL spots). You get eleven pitchers, ten position players (I’ve added and extra “utility player”, and five bench spots). In addition, I’ve added a couple of scoring categories: in addition to the standard Runs, Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases, and Batting Average, I’ve added Errors (I really missed having a defensive stat last year) and OPS (on base + slugging percentage). For pitchers, the standard categories were Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA, and WHIP (walks & hits/inning pitched) to which I added Holds and Strikeouts per Walk Ratio. The player universe is all of baseball.
Unfortunately, I’m an idiot. I signed up twice. Could you delete the Austin Senators? I couldn’t figure out how to change my name, and accidentally registered twice. I accept all mocking that will be directed my way for my stupidity.
Hugh Jass, just in case you still haven’t figured it out, go to “My Team” using the toolbar across the top of the league page, then up on the upper right portion of the page there’s some sort of “edit team settings” button, and that’s how you change your name.
OK, the Austin Senators are deleted, that leaves us with ONE more spot, sign up now!
I changed the draft time to Tuesday, March 19 at 8:40 PM PT. This is the same day, but in the evening, 5:40 EST. I just spent the ENTIRE day on planes and in airports ( Couple of hour delay at DFW) coming back from Canada, and frankly I’m too bushed to cross reference between this thread, the temp boards, e-mail, etc to try and find out if this is good for everyone. IF IT IS NOT, post here, but please, folks, if you can possibly make it at that time, do so. I got enough on my plate as it is. My inclination is not to change it unless 3 or more of the managers can’t make it. Sorry, but I’m running this league, playing one game of Diplomacy and GMing another, plus I’m working like a dog to make the money needed to move the love of my life down here from Canada. Weirddave just pawn, in game of life.
Okay. So. If you can make Dave’s draft, sign up for Dave’s league. He’s only got a few spaces left. If you can’t make Dave’s league, or Dave’s league is full, check out mine above. As of this instant, I have three spaces left. I posted it on Fathom, also, and will probably post it to the UnaBoard tomorrow.
And not to bother you any further, but a note: 8:40 pm PT is actually 11:40 pm ET, not 5:40 pm. Hope that doesn’t present a problem for anyone. The new time is just peachy for me.
If anybody has a problem with the new time or has input about changing it, I’d be happy to collate everyone’s opinions to save Weirddave the trouble. Email me at amolochko@attbi.com and let me know how you feel and I’ll pass it on in an organized fashion to Dave.
After the draft time is hashed down to minutiae for days, like planning for a Chicago DopeFest, somebody let me know when it is, please.
P.S., If I miss yet another draft, I will be pulling an Iampunha on the league. Don’t mean to be a baby about it, but it happened in the Fantasy Hockey league, and it sucks the joy out of the entire season.
If I can make it, I’ll make it. If I can’t, I’ll tell you and you can drop my team and put somebody else in my place.
I really am sorry, everyone, to be the squeaky wheel. In my defense, I’ve been asking for the time change since before most everyone joined the league. If this doesn’t work out, if the previous time is still available, just move it back and I’ll cut class or something to make the draft. I just aced the midterm today like a real pro so I can afford to take a couple days off sometime soon.
Thanks for deleting my extra team. I swear I searched for a way just to change the name, but I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks for the directions on how I should have done it.
