Apolyton Fantasy Football Draft Talk!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Um... actually YOU can .

Go to the top where it says "Edit Team Info" (right next to 'Sign Off' IIRC)... and do your business.

I think you are the 12th one. Sorry vlad... but you seemed to be too slow . Same with Ming.

[Tuberski]

Yes, I tried to edit it by going back to the setup and it said it was full.

ACK!

[Imran Siddiqui]

No, it should say 'Edit Team Info' ALLLL the way at the top (by your Yahoo name), where you can change your name.

[Tuberski]

Thanks Imran, didn't see that.

ACK!

[SuperSneak]

Whoa....no Vlad or Ming? We might need two leagues or something...12 is the maximum, eh?

[Imran Siddiqui]

No... but a league with 14? What, you want to kill us? That means 28 RBs STARTING every week! 24 is bad enough as it is!

And Ming has NO excuse. His invite was sent first out of everyone.

[Tuberski]

He's obviously afraid of the Boingers!!!!!!

ACK!

[SuperSneak]

Hmmm...true...you snooze, you lose...maybe he's on vacation or taking a much needed retreat at Betty Ford or something?
Well...good...without him and Vlad (that punkass*****) my chances just got a lot better!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Naw, Sneak... he's been posting .

As for vlad... tough luck... that's what you get for not being a Poly regular anymore .

[vlad]

Man oh man I become a Poly reader and not a Poly poster and I am docked, well as has been the case the last 3 years I will make the alternate Poly football league somewhere. I tried to get into Poly today and kept getting errors so I wasn't slacking just dealing with technical problems. I just can't believe a former Apolyton Fantasy champ doesn't even get a PM or E-mail anymore . Sniffle Sniffle
As for you Sneak, you best be getting in my alternate league so we can keep up our fine tradition of food and drink bets I just bought a house here in BC, so I may have to wager a home cooked meal, some BC bud, or McDonalds down the road
Imran I will take revenge on you in baseball

[Berzerker]

Where's a link to the site? I think I signed on under a different ID than my baseball leagues.

[Zopperoni]

O, and now that we're complete, can we start the draft on Sunday/Monday, or at least settle the draft order?

[Berzerker]

Those are all default rules, except I added 'Offensive Receptions' and 'Defensive Return TDs' as points generating stats.

As for playoffs there are 4 different options:

1) Week 15 & 16 (4 teams & 4 consolation)
2) Week 16 & 17 (4 teams & 4 consolation)
3) Week 14, 15 & 16 (8 teams)
4 Week 15, 16 & 17 (8 teams)

Now, the reason the weeks are different is because many choose not to play fantasy football in the last week of the season because many pro teams don't play their stars in those games.

As for 'consolation', in playoffs 1 & 2, there is a 4 team playoff for #1, then there is a 4 team consolation playoff (basically for #5). An 8 team playoff takes an extra week, but is for 8 teams vying for #1.

I took #1, playoffs not counting Week 17 and 4 team playoff with a consolation bracket.

I would vote to let Ming & Vlad in. Winning the league without them would not be the same. And a 14 league could be...interesting.
