I am up for the Yahoo league. We did Sandbox’s live draft for baseball this year and it was one of the funner things I have done in awhile. We all were drafting in the same room so shotuing matches and screams of triumph/tragedy were filling the air. Hehehehehe my outfield consists of Sosa, Vlad Guerrero and Bonds so you can guess wther my own particular screams were triumph or tragedy.
Okay, I dropped the other sandbox league I was in and moved over to SDMB. Whoever has the power should change it to draft on a certain day so everyone can get their rankings done though.
Mundi’s Mourning Quaterbacks reporting for slaughter.
I have some concern about the draft format, though. Will we be able to manage a live draft? I prefer that to the dumb ranking systems. the last minute hsifts in strategy to accomodate other’s picks are part of what I like best.
Count me in for the Yahoo league! I blew away the guys in my Yahoo league last year but I think I was playing against Idiots.
FYI, as soon as the Yahoo league is up I’m going to drop out of Sandbox and get in so save me a spot.
Mundi, the live draft worked great last year. The server got a little lagged at times but we found a concensus time that was good for everyone. I think this years a late afternoon weekday will be easiest.
So far, my unofficial count is:
Yahoo: Myself, Falcon, Omniscient, Spolvy, Grendel69
Sandbox: Mundi, Gazoo, John Corrado, Milossarian
It would probably be a good idea for people to state their preference now, so all the fine-tuning can be done via email or something.
I will go to whichever league has a live draft. If both offer a live draft I will go wherever I ma most comfortable with the scoring syste, I guess. Or else wherever the competition seems juciest.
Does the Yahoo site have scoring rules posted someplace?
There are six in the Sandbox league as of a minute ago.
Hey dont leave me out, this just might be my chance to gain some notoriety around here.
I think i would rather yahoo since i’ve played it before and know the system but Sandbox would be fine too, wherever fits.
I’d like to get in on this. I have more experience with the Yahoo one so that’d be preferable, if you got any room left.
The sandbox one is getting full, so if you’re in make sure you have your rankings done as it is set to draft when the laegue is filled.
I hate to buck the trend here, but I would just like to say that I would rather pound a nail into my head, pull it back out, move it over a half inch, and pound it back in again than play fantasy football.
Give me a good Oscar pool any day.
When I start up the league, I will start a new thread with the info. First come, first served. I shall also let myt family in on the fun if nobody objects (and we have enough slots).
Yer pal,
Satan
I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Three months, two weeks, four days, 12 hours, 47 minutes and 1 second.
4381 cigarettes not smoked, saving $547.66.
Life saved: 2 weeks, 1 day, 5 hours, 5 minutes.
Satan, sounds good, I’m dropping out of Sandbox so I’m gonna be counting on you.
Inviting your family is fine as longs as the Dopers get first crack at it. One minor bitch, if your family (or any Dopers for that matter) join please be committed to participating. Last year there were a couple of people who signed up and never commented or made any moves all year, in addition to never responding to trade requests. It more fun if everyone at least makes it known that they are still following the league.
Count me in, if I’m not to late.
Football, Football!!!
OH OH, I want in! I was in a yahoo league last year so I’m more familiar with that. I would prefer yahoo. I probably wont be able to do live draft, but I’ll set for auto picks.
Well the Sandbox league is officially filled up.
Poogas21, you could always make a second league at sandbox, commit yourself to the yahoo league as others have done, or propose another one.
I’m kinda confused why Milo limited the league to 10 teams in the first place.
Anyways, when Satan gets the Yahoo league up I’ll be in…hint hint.
The sandbox auto draft is over. The dust has settled. I have Jeff Blake as my starting QB.
It might be a long year.
On the other hand, I like my backs and I can live with my receivers. Could be worse.
