Dallas sux. And while they are my team and I love them more than anything, I also hate them and don't want their bad juju jinxing my fantasy team.

Dumb noob question - how many rounds do we have? Do we draft 1 player for each position during the first round?

i counted 9 seats on the bench for each team, so 9 rounds? and yas, 1 player of whatever position u wanna draft per round. draft picks will be determined day of by the computer and i think Craig set it up as a Snake Draft so it goes like this Round #1: Team A, Team B, Team C... Round 2: Team C, Team B, Team A... Round 3" Team A, Team B, Team C and it repeats in that style.

Hahahahaha!!!

You're wrong though, my friend! Save the best for last!!!

And I saw mention of vetos. In what situation would we veto somebody else's pick?

Ok, so the draft will go as follows:

Teams will be selected randomly by the computer to determine a draft order. 1 picks first, 2 second and so on for the first round. In the second round the order is reversed, so 10 would pick first, 9 second and so on. Then it just goes back and forth alternating directions.

Each week you will submit a starting lineup consisting of :

1- QB
2- RBs
2- WRs
1- TE
1- FLEX (can be a RB, WE or TE, your choice)
1- K
1- Defense/Special Teams (So a team, not a player. i.e. Dallas, Denver, Philly, etc...)

Then you have 6 BENCH spots you can fill however you'd like. So, maybe a backup at each position and then a few others. However you like. Take only 1 Kicker though, and lots of people only take 1 D/ST. But that's up to you and your strategy.

So with 9 starters and 6 BENCH spots the draft will be 15 rounds.

veto's are for trades (not drafts). i think there's a 2 day window for the rest of the league to approve/ignore or veto a trade. for example, let's say i draft Gorappolo b/c but TTT convinces me to trade him to her b/c that's her boy. and b/c u have a better trade offer for me (or to be funny), u decide to veto it. not sure for many veto's kill a trade tho for what we have set up.

you're asking too many questions. i'm starting to think u are a pro and a hustler pretending to be a n00b. i got an eye on u!

(j/k keep the questions coming.)

Who, me? :cool:

I wish I was that smooth. I am very truly and in a most honest way - completely stupid at this.

So do we then gather once a week to redraft? Does Craig have to coordinate everyone's crazy schedules from here on, or are we on our own after this? And yes, I google-fu but um, it's broken right now. :oops:

nah, u trade as needed on a weekly basis. (we don't re-draft.) not everyone trades. you just send an offer over to the team when u feel the need (or someone sends u one).

(Edit: still got my eye on u!)

Trade vetoes are also in place to prevent two teams trading together to build one great team unfairly. So one team could trade their good players to another for crappy players just to stack one team.
It keeps integrity intact.

There is only one draft. Then each week you set a new starting lineup with the players you drafted. You make adjustments for bye weeks, injuries, matchups, etc...

You can also "add/drop" which means you can pick up "free agents" (players who aren't currently on another league players fantasy team) from waivers. But, in order to pick somebody up, you have to drop a player from your team. At that point, anybody else can pick that player up for their team. So add/drop wisely.

There are also trades between other fantasy players in your league.

So say I had two QBs who both get injured...I don't like the available free agents, so I look at all your teams....maybe Ax has two good QBs...I might offer him a trade. Then he has to decline, accept or counter offer. So maybe start low and build up your offer as needed? But keep it realistic or it'll definitely be declined...

NFL kickoff is only 8 days away, next Thursday with the Falcons taking on the Super Bowl Champion Eagles (ugggh :tears:).
So, we need to determine a draft date and time, and soon. I can't create the league until we have a draft date.
I'm off all day tomorrow and Fri, so I can take the time to create the league and send invites once we choose a date.

Let's do it one night coming up....Sun, Mon, Tue or Wed...
I am having knee surgery Tues, but will be down to draft that night if it works best for others.

Please let me know, people!!

ok Craig, do the honors and start the new thread. :gj: make sure in the first post - you list some of the basic rules of the league including the most important one: biggest loser = name change. :twisted:

I was going to remind everybody of that rule in the draft room, but it's good enough to be mentioned twice!!

Will our league homepage automatically update when it's draft time - or do we have to use a special link?

It's on the league page. A link will appear when the draft room opens.

Draft room is open...and tttaylorrr has 1st pick!!

ok i just had the first fail/fumble of the season. i can't drop and pick up players right now? i have to wait on waivers? :( b/c i just dropped my defense. :stupidme:

it means i won't have a starting Defense this week and won't get the points they earn. i realized Carolina was playing Dallas and i don't think they will be able to stop the Dallas run game, so i dropped the Carolina defense to seek a better matchup. i thought we could pick-up any free agents b/c the kickoff hasn't started and but i guess we still have to wait for waivers to begin Tuesday, after the final game of the week (Monday night football - Detroit vs. NYJ). so basically i was dumb and forfeited any defensive points.

:mad: :rolleyes:

idk how most of this works. :)

something tells me this won't hurt your chances tho...

Hey all, I'll be starting the new thread shortly. Just trying to figure out the best way to do it since I stink at tech stuff and only have mobile.

Suggestions are welcome.

I'm thinking screen shots of starting rosters and the weekly schedule?? Followed by results? Maybe we could comment with some predictions along the way?

Any other thoughts are very graciously welcomed.

P.S. sorry for the delay, I just can't seem to catch up on sleep since my surgery. I feel like a zombie with about as much get-up-and-go as a bowl of pudding.

Ok, unsure of a few teams owners/team names

I need to know the following users team names:

- PhillyDubs
- MDB730
- JMarshall

I was able to figure out the other team names.

Sorry, and thanks in advance

My pleasure!!! Happy to help out. And glad to get some rookies on board. It definitely makes watching on tv more exciting.
I guess I'm out of work at least another week, so I'll have some time on my hands this week. The night before and the first few days I barely slept, so didn't do much at all. I'm getting bored already though....

What platform are you using?
