BotRH Fantasy Football (American)

[Corki]

Right...I am getting this up early this year to hopefully get maximum sign up.

 

It is with Yahoo, which is where we do most of our Fantasy Sports League. I have created a league with 2 divisions (something new this year), and a maximum of 6 teams in each division (a maximum of 12 teams in total, but this can be changed to 14 if there is such a demand). It is a 17 week season, starting 8th September. There are 14 divisional games, before heading into a 3 week play-off season, with the Super Bowl between December 29th 2009-3rd January 2010.

 

Once you sign up, you will be able to see all the information about the league (and you need a Yahoo account).

 

Details to get in are:

 

ID#: 398669

Password: BattleBrew (case sensitive)

Link: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/botrh

 

There will be prizes for the top 3. The price to enter (Lotto Chips or something similar) will be decided once the sign up is closed.

 

Any questions, please post them here.

Signing up and taking part will count as a BotRH Activity for each month that the league runs (and all Fantasy Leagues will do so from now on).

[Corki]

Oh, and my team is Corki's Crusaders.

[Corki]

I invited Horn, who has entered a team (ibleedorange).

[Corki]

4 teams have now entered thanks to Goldy.

How exactly does fantasy football work? I am kind of interested in it

[Corki]

The easy option: you get a team (via draft), you play the other teams in the league, your players score points depending on how they perform on the pitch in the NFL games, the winner of the weekly game is the one who scores the most points. You can make transfers during the season.

 

The more complex option: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/rules/

[Corki]

Any more interest in this? Even to make numbers up!

[LedZepMan]

Why not, I will give it a try.

[Corki]

Check your email inbox as I have sent you an invite.

[Corki]

We have the minimum of 6 teams I want thanks to Northie and LedZepMan. There is still plenty of room for people to join. I am now looking for 8 members to sign up. Remember, signing up means your team will count you for an Activity each month when it comes to points.

[Corki]

The final deadline to sign up will be Tuesday 1st September 2009 as I plan to have the auto-draft on Wednesday 2nd September so we qualify for scoring in Week 1 (the season starts Thursday 10th September 2009).

[LedZepMan]

how does the auto draft work there. Pick a team and you get its offense/defense? or does it randomly distribute players to our teams?

[Corki]

Randomly distributes players, but you can try and influence it by picking which players you would like.

[LedZepMan]

Lk, thanks, that ws all i was wondering about. Everything else seems to be pretyy straight forward.

[Corki]

The deadline is drawing closer so don't forget to sign up if interested!

[Corki]

Draft status has been changed to ready. We are now ready to rock and roll.

 

All 6 people who have signed up will get monthly activity points for their participation.

[LedZepMan]

That was just a mock draft right?

 

[Imperium]

i hope not, i like my team!

[Corki]

Nope...it's the real deal. Maybe next year we can do a live draft if enough people show willing.

 

I believe you can make changes to your team after 4th September - I know I do as I am not that happy with the defense side of my team.

[Mushuganna]

If only I'd stopped by sooner. I would have loved to do this.

[Corki]

Next year then! ;)

 

Oh, and welcome back Mush! Good to see you! How's things? Gosh, it has been an age! Hope all is well. And I hope you haven't forgotten the taste of these!

 

*passes Mush a M-G Brew*

[Mushuganna]

For sure.

Thanks! Things are going great at the moment, it's been up and down since I was last active so long ago. *sips the brew* Ahhh, it's been too long.

[LedZepMan]

definately need to change up my defense.

 

I was hoping beyond hope that that had been a mock draft.

 

I guess Kurt Warner ain't too bad of a QB though.

[Imperium]

at least ur first match up against Corki

 

any other week id be happy but he has

 

Rivers, Gates and Jackson all playing the Raiders....

 

I am in another fantasy league with a live draft and I have number 1 pick GET IN! Adrian Peterson!
