Apolyton Yahoo Fantasy Baseball!

[Imran Siddiqui]

People didn't trust me so much in the past...

Someone did an Excel randomizer last year. A two prong test... an randomization of numbers 1-12, and then those numbers would be assigned to teams by someone else. I forget who did that though.

[Stuie]

We need the categories set before we can start a draft.

I have the teams assigned a random number from 1-12 in an text file that I uploaded to Apolyton:

243b - 03/03/2005 10:27:49

If someone else wants to make a random list of numbers from 1-12 we can use that as the draft order as long as everyone's ok with that.

[Imran Siddiqui]

We need the categories set before we can start a draft.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean we can set a draft order as of yet.


Do people want some program to randomize it, or can I just pick random numbers myself?

Then Stuie can show what his teams-random numbers are.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

My preference would be to use this random number generator. Just set the limits to 1 and 12.

[jdd2007]

lets do it

[vlad]

I want last pick, I hate all the drama ;-)

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Just a word of warning: I may be unable to access the internet for parts of the next week (spring break and all). I'm flying into Fort Myers, FL tomorrow night, and should be able to figure out the status of my internet connection by Saturday night. If you don't hear anything from me by Sunday, just assume that I either don't have internet access or am too lazy to figure it out, and BAPAY me until the 12th.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Sure thing...

I did a random number generator. I'll sent it to Berz as well (for verification).

Whats the random team-number, Stuie? Reveal the text file .

I'm tempted to try the reliever strategy with 12 min but I find it dishonorable. I dont know why I feel that way, I guess I just think baseball should include 4-5 SP just like a real team

[Berzerker]

Oh yeah Imran, if you're going to be away you can PM me an extensive list for FFZ and Poly I and II. Sounds like you might miss the first 3-4 days of the Poly II draft as well... At least with 8 people in Poly II the draft should go faster so we might be able to start the draft next Friday or something...

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well you complained about all star week... what, did we have it at 14 or 15 last year? I can change it to that. Also, I added IP as another bone to Starting Pitching.

Here's the link:

And here's the contents:

2 The Arcade Fire
4 Apocalpyses
6 Columbus Interns
8 Revenge of the Nerds
10 Vancouver Isle Bears
12 Your World Champions
11 City Hobgoblins
9 Ramsey's whiffers
7 Houston Owls of Rice
5 Boston Rebels
3 Berzerker
1 Georgia Granies

So my understanding is the if #11 is fifth on your random list, then #11 above will pick 5th. Right? Right.

Right. Here is the random list (Berz can verify):

11
1
6
2
8
3
12
9
10
5
7
4

So, adding them together:

1. City Hobgoblins
2. Georgia Granies
3. Columbus Interns
4. The Arcade Fire
5. Revenge of the Nerds
6. Berzerker
7. Your World Champions
8. Ramsey's Whiffers
9. Vancouver Isle Bears
10. Boston Rebels
11. Houston's Owls of Rice
12. Apocalypses

The Hobgoblins are on deck on Monday morning (when I want to start this thing!)
