morphsci Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 If there is room I'm in. I should be no threat as I am a fan of "Da Bears".
emelius Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 alright...will need help understanding rules etc., but I'm in... Bears just signed Roy Williams & Vernon Gholston...
VPI Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Those of you that have posted here that played previously should be good to go. I need an e-mail from Emelius and Jim to send your invites. Also anyone that wants things changed in scoring, league set-up, divisions, etc. go ahead and start shouting them out here. I am not sure if a couple players from last year are even here anymore so I might trim if I do not hear from everyone within the next few weeks and get our numbers down a bit.
agile_one Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 I'm in, boys and girls. Yup, there's a new sheriff in town.
VPI Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Gene and Jim have been added. Still need an e-mail for Emelius and I am assuming the people that have not responded do not intend to field a team this year.
Aura Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Okay every year I say I'm going to do this, and damn it this year I mean it. Will pm you my email Jeff.
VPI Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Okay, at this point we have 13 confirmed teams for this year so we need at least one more team (there are three teams from last year that have not confirmed so maybe one of them). We also need to decide if we want to have one big league or two smaller leagues. The big league is a bit more difficult due to fewer players to pick up on waivers but we would all be playing together.
deepak Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Jeff I might have a friend who is interested (and would be active) if no one else on Head-case steps up (last resort option, as it makes more sense to keep it a forum member league).
Yikes Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 I'd be interested. Although I'd be a first timer.
raffy Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Personally, I'd prefer to have a 14 team league over 2 smaller leagues. However, I suggest we divide the league by divisions vs. having a lone one. If available players on the waiver wire is a concern, perhaps we can shorten the roster by a spot or two and/or eliminate the IR spot? Edited August 5, 2011 by raffy
VPI Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Well Ethan, 3/4 of the playoff teams last year were beginners so there is nothing wrong with being a first timer. I need an e-mail and this should put us at an even number.
VPI Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 I have us trimmed back to 5 bench spots from seven and no IR at the moment. This should make waivers a bit easier with 14 teams. There are two divisions but that doesn't help much in providing enough talent to spread around all the teams.
VPI Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) I think we are at a point where we will need two 8-10 team leagues to handle all the teams. I have set up HC Part Two league and I will be splitting the league up unless everyone wants to play with very limited benches/waiver wires. Also, we have 15 teams now so we can set up the two leagues and those hardcore team owners that want to can field teams in both leagues. So far I have this list. Post here and let me know if you want to field two teams, have one team in one of the leagues or just have one large league.

n_maher Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Agreed Jeff, a 14+ team league is not a recipe for fun. Too little talent with too many injuries.
VPI Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 To prepare I will have Colin draw names for each league so we can group everyone by chance unless people have a problem with that.
shellylh Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 That sounds good (to have two leagues and have Colin draw names). I would be happy to either be in both or just one league (whatever works best).
VPI Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Okay, we had our exciting drawing.

shellylh Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Looks good. Will there be a way for us to "watch" the other league? Probably not I guess
VPI Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) The leagues are public so we should be able to watch both leagues. http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=346038 http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=432830 Edited August 5, 2011 by VPI
