Well, this isn't quite the same, but you can still feel something stir when you get huge games from your kicker and your flex position to pull out a half a point win against the top team in the league. And, the good thing about it is that win stays on the books forever. That hot girl in high school? She's old and fat now. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Do we need to do anything for this or will someone ask for emails and where to send,etc.... One small request if I may. Since this isn't most people's primary fantasy league or leagues....can we choose a draft night that doesn't coincide the Sept 6-8th leading up to first game on 9th of Sept? Hopefully that doesn't come across in poor form but I have 3 other leagues that take priority because of competition and $ involved. Maybe we could do week leading up to Labor Day Weekend? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your first question, I expect we can do this without emails. We never share emails when we do the annual March Madness brackets. Yahoo may require one to set up your account with them, but you should be able to hide it from the league members. My Yahoo account is so old, I don't recall what they required. The commissioners can communicate to us about league structure, draft times, etc, through this thread. Also, we want people to use their HSN screen name as their Fantasy team name so that we know who we are competing against. And, on your final point, I agree with you. This league is for fun. And, while we want people to take it seriously enough that they don't field a team of 5 injured players each week (or Mitch Trubitsky), we do understand that many of the players will have other leagues they need to prioritize. Once we split up our 24 teams into the two leagues, which I am doing very soon, the commissioners can start working with their group of players to find the best draft time-frame, if not the exact date, at least weeks or days of the weeks to avoid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Thanks on all. I haven't checked my Yahoo email in about a decade but can fire it back up. I thought most would think similarly just wanted to throw it out there regarding draft. Thanks for the leg work gang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Quick Update. Although we are no longer going to promote the two remaining openings, as it stands now, IndyKev and I will be fielding teams in both leagues. If someone asks to join before the draft, we will try to accommodate (up to 2 spots). KDB and Kev are starting their discussions on league structure and should have something for us on that soon so that you can begin thinking about your draft strategy. Using a deck of cards (red/black), I split the group into leagues as follows League Indiana @KDB(commissioner) @5fouls @Steubenhoosier @btownqb @Hoosier51 @KoB2011 @tdhoosier @Seeking6 @B_A @BeerBQ @mrflynn03 @Indykev(second team) League Hoosiers @Indykev(commisioner) @rico @Billingsley99 @Parakeet Jones @PAHoosier @bluegrassIU @ledies22 @dgambill @Leathernecks @NotIThatLives @Sagamore @5fouls(second team) Edited July 1, 2021 by 5fouls 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 How about premiere league and champions league.

Yeah. We had been sitting on 22 teams for about 10 days to 2 weeks, so Kev and I decided we each would field a second team to fill things up, if necessary. But, if we end up getting others that want to join, our 2nd teams will be replaced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many teams using RB by committee I like the idea of a catch being .5 or 1 pt to add value to 3rd down backs and possession receivers who aren't just TD/deep threats. But it certainly makes a difference in draft value so I look forward to the LEAGUE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preference is full point, but I'll defer to what the commissioners decide. As you stated, ppr adds value to a greater number of players. With a 12 team league, you need guys like Nyheim Hines and Tarik Cohen to have some value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
