Alright neegs we are set for a 10 man league

• Holden_Caulfield
• chunticakes
• djohn2oo8
• ColinB
• SpursforSix
• TrainOfThought5
• spurraider21
• Namundy
• Trill Clinton
• Seventyniner

Though we do need one more player for a 12 man league since DPG21920 is interested.

$100 buy in
14 weeks of regular season
top 4 advances to Week 15 and 16 playoffs

Payout ($1000)
$20 weekly top scorer ($280 total)
$100 regular season total top scorer
$620 Champion


So lets talk draft day and time. Also do we want to stick with leaguesafe or use the new yahoo pay system (no fees)

Let's try Yahoo out, seems more convenient. Any day is good with me. I mean with the app you can virtually draft anywhere and anytime.

What about rhino?

[TrainOfThought5]

Im east coast time now and my job starts early. Can the draft kick off before 8pm EST?

[Holden_Caulfield]

yahoo wont allow me to adjust the prize payouts for weekly top scorers i guess leaguesafe it is


Thoughts on Sunday September 1st 5pm PT for the draft?

[ColinB]

[Holden_Caulfield]

That last Saturday or Sunday works best for me.

[Seventyniner]

That last Saturday or Sunday works best for me.

8:00 Central is the best time for me but 7:00 (5 Pacific) is fine. Any day is good.

[ColinB]

Can't do Sunday the 4th but any other day is good.

[Trill Clinton]

the 1st in the evening is good for me. if we can do it around 3-5pm that'd be perfect.

are we doing the draft order the day of the draft?

[spurraider21]

right. preaseason ends on a thursday

August 28-Sept 3rd at 5PT. Which days works best for you all

I can do the 28th, 31st, 2nd, 3rd at 5PT

i can do 29th, 30th, 1st at a later hour, but i know that could be an issue for others

[djohn2oo8]

anytime is good

[SpursforSix]

I'd like to get the order figured at least a few days before.

[Trill Clinton]

I'd like to get the order figured at least a few days before.

Same. Can we get a vote?

[SpursforSix]

I vote we get the order one week prior. I don't know if this is a function of Yahoo or just Holden doing a random number thing. I don't mind doing it if Holden doesn't want to mess with it.

i second that. i haven't been a commish on yahoo in a while, but i know you can select to randomize draft order. i just don't know if you can do it this far in advance. if you have a offline draft with some friends, check out fox and hounds. my frat brothers had our draft there last year and we got a private room, appetizers and a draft board with stickers for FREE.

this year we had a draft order party where we chose the order with a beer pong style game, using water instead of beer. 16 cups, 10 with numbers 1-10, and 6 were wild cards...buy a pitcher, take a photo with last years champ, buy everyone shots, etc. it was fun.

Damn...that sounds like a good time. Unfortunately, the two leagues I'm in are long distance.

[spurraider21]

i can do the 3rd at 5

[Seventyniner]

Sept. 3 at 5:00 Pacific is fine for me.

We could use this site: http://www.draftordergenerator.com/
to generate the draft order, it will email all the owners if you check the box and enter all the email addresses. I think this can be done immediately.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd rather not use the email delivery. I got a feeling we'd all be bombarded with sports betting and fantasy ads.

[DPG21920]

I've done commish on Yahoo and you can do random order generator before the draft on there with no worries FYI..
