Jason Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Is my spot reserved with the invite, or if you fill up before I can get in am I out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 and we can always make it bigger if we want, though I know some people don't like to have TOO many teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I was wondering who that was, cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yeah, sorry... I probably should've been more explicit about who I was. But at least I uploaded a decent team logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 What time is our draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 it's currently set for Sunday, August 24th at 7:45pm. And as I type that I realize its during the Bengals/Falcons game (game starts at 8)...I was wondering why the 24 was sticking out in my head.

AmishBengalFan Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 ummm....Bengals-Falcons is 9/14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 sorry, Bengals/Cards. Come on, I got the colors and species of animal right. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 So does our draft still conflict with the game? A couple hours earlier that day would work just fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I was thinking pushing it up 30 minutes. That gives us 45 minutes to draft before the game, where most people will be online participating in game threads anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 So did you ever change the time of the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 moved it up to 715. Gives us 45 minutes before the game starts. Sunday 7:15pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Important note..... we have 9 teams. Your Head-to-Head league will not be able to start the season if it contains an odd number of teams. Yahoo Fantasy Football will not allow a league to begin with an odd number of teams. We either need to reduce by one, recruit an additional player in the next 4 hours. If we move forward with 9 teams, there are two possible ways to go: #1 - Create a fictional 10th team, force it to auto-draft, pre-rank a crapton of awful players for that team, and call it "Bye Week". But even if we do that, with a 14 game season and 9 "human" players, not everyone will play "Bye Week" the same # of times. It's a lot of work for a solution that will skew the season results for the 4 players who don't get two byes. #2 - Create a fictional 10th team, call it "League Average", and have the Commish manually edit that team's weekly points to equal the average of the 9 "human" teams. That team would, naturally, have to be ineligible for the playoffs, so the Commish may have to do some more meddling near the end of the season to force them out of the top 4. Neither solution is desirable, though of the two #2 is probably the fairest. But, unless a 10th owner steps up right away, I respectfully recommend that the most recent team to join (BigDawgBengal) be removed... unless of course someone else wants to volunteer to step down. Nothing personal, BDB, it's just math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have logged in with an alternate email and created a team called "LEAGUE AVERAGE" as a placeholder just to allow the draft to start. Boot that team out if you get a 10th owner, or if we don't and you don't want to use that solution. The pre-ranked draft order for that team is: 1 Brady Quinn QB-MIA 2 Kyle Juszczyk RB-BAL 3 Will Ta'ufo'ou RB-JAX 4 EZ Nwachukwu WR-HOU 5 Nu'Keese Richardson WR-IND 6 Kealoha Pilares WR-CAR 7 Quincy Enunwa WR-NYJ 8 Quron Pratt WR-PHI 9 Levine Toilolo TE-ATL 10 MarQueis Gray RB,TE-CLE 11 Bear Pascoe TE-ATL 12 Chandler Catanzaro K-ARI 13 Sergio Castillo K-ATL 14 Giorgio Tavecchio K-DET 15 Jacksonville DEF-JAX If any of these guys are actually on anyone's watch list, I can remove them.

AmishBengalFan Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 ^ Let's hold out for a 10th owner. I'll start a thread over in the main board to see if there's a volunteer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
