Phish Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hey guys, decided to get the ball rolling as yahoo has started sign-ups for leagues. This is a free league with a live draft Sunday Aug 19. League info below, only 12 teams, so sign up now. [url="http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/gobengals"]http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/gobengals[/url] League ID: 40544 Password: bengals I forgot to add this before, but i did take some liberties to adjust scoring and rosters a little higher and deeper than the yahoo defaults, so this should be a competitive and fun league this year. Please check it out when you sign up, there are a few little surprises in there that i did not know were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good friend that started a Yahoo league last year and I was pissed that you had to pay money to get up to date stats in a "free" league. NFL.com I believe gives you the same thing for...FREE! It would be well worth it to switch since it is still so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i started with yahoo. Anyone is more than welcome to create multiple leagues on different sites. I'm sure there are more than 12 people that want in a league on here and i know i would join another one on another site, so its really no big deal guys. I also adjusted the bench from 8 to 7 to make it a bit more competitive, i was torn between the two and with the suggestion made, i decided to take it down 1.

I'll probably start another league there too, but i like playing a few teams on different sites every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Shit, I was going to join, but, as always, i cannot do a live draft because I always seem to have to work when it's scheduled... I guess it's back to playing against people I don't know with an automated draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 So what happens if you sign on to a league with a live draft and you can't be present? Is there a time limit whereby the computer would simply select your pick for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope everyone can do their best to be at the draft, no shows do cause problems with that auto pick, unless you set your player rankings before hand, which works well if you cant be there.

I like doing it but I'm not that great with it...It seems like everytime I get into a league I can't make the draft so I pre-rank a bunch of players... I had a decent team last year... hope others start more leagues...I'll get in...I liked the Yahoo leagues...just for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, you get 12 people to sign up, nothing happens for the next month and a half and 2-3 will have forgotten / won't give a shit about it when the time comes. Then you end up with those teams basically being "byes" for the team that is playing them. You'll have all the interest you can stand if you wait until the buzz starts up. I'd like to get into one but only when all 12 teams are being worked and rosters updated, etc. Gets kind of stupid when 7-8 teams are trying and the others aren't.
