I wonder if we just did it based on who would be able to make each draft day? (Idea being to have as few auto-drafters as possible).
Title: Re: 2014 Fantasy Football

I like that idea better.  So let's come up with some potential draft dates and times.

I'll just assume that August 7-9 is out.  ;)

I'm in for another year.

I'll just ask my draft not be during Aug 17-22.

My dad (Caleb's camels) and I are in again for this year!

Draft works best on a Saturday for both of us!

Hopefully I'll have Better Luck this year...owait, not a keeper league. Maybe I'll have to change the name to a Bridgewater Over Troubled... ;)

A S and G reference, I love it!

If I'm a bottom 2 pick I'm taking JG all day with my first pick just putting that out there

I'll need to get back on this...hopefully later this weekend as I am working today (13th day in a row, yuck!)

Once I take care of a couple of high severity Microsoft cases, I'll be freed up to get our league(s) moving along.

Thanks everyone!  :)

I'm definitely in again.  If you can, evenings are best for me since I work dayshift every day.

It looks like it will be to late for me, but if the draft is before Sunday, i'll be able to do it.

If possible I'd like to get in.
Specifically the league with Josiah and my dad.

Is it a free league? Can I do by pm? If so if there is a an open spot I would like to play. Also what rule set are you using?

We use ESPN.com, which is a free-to-play site.  You'll need to send STAMP your e-mail address and create an account on ESPN.com in order to play.  We use a pretty standard scoring system, biggest difference from ESPN standard leagues I think is that we do 6 points for passing TD's instead of 4.  There's probably a few other minor differences that I'm not remembering right now.

You'll be in the second league.  Once we fill it we'll set a draft date and time.  Go ahead and post some dates and times that would work with your schedule.

basically, the rest of this week, and I'll have maybe 20 minutes a day starting the week after next after school. thats why I said it might be to late. I ment the draft.

Please PM your email to send the invite.

_JM_ is correct.  So in order to get in, you'll need an ESPN account set up to join the league.  I'll also need you to PM me the email address to send the invite once you have your ESPN account set up (if it's not already).

Editing the pre-rankings has worked well for me in the past in the event you can't make the draft.

how do you do that?

On your team page underneath your name and your team name, there will be a link to edit pre-draft player rankings.

Looks like I won't be able to make the draft after all, I'll be getting together with ~150000 of my fellow Minnesotans on Saturday... I will edit my pre-draft rankings as well, and hope for the best I guess...
