High Rollers League #1

[Mr. Miyagi]

So BFever, when is the draft date? Live or thread? Set up on Yahoo yet?

[BillsFever]

I set it up a couple days ago. I'll get the info to guys this weekend.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Thanks. :up:

[Halbert]

I will be unavailable from August 28 - Sept 3 at a wedding out of town so avoid those dates if you can. Thanks.

[Sabre Ally]

C'mon, I'm itching to add some teams to my third yahoo ID. :D

[Mr. Miyagi]

I have a draft on Aug 18 night so I won't be available then.

[BillsFever]

Ok here is the info to sign up. Please sign up with your BZ screen name so I will know it's you. It can always be changed later.

[Halbert]

Oooh boy.

Gunz, Ally, and me are going to be busy starting about 9:30. We'll be drafting in two leagues then (combined leagues High Stakes Head-to-Head).

I'm pretty positive that I could handle it, assuming Yahoo allows us to do that. I've drafted in two leagues before but on different sites. Has anyone ever done that before with two leagues on Yahoo? Are we sure it will work? I think so but we probably shouldn't assume.

[Halbert]

I just realized I have them under two different Yahoo id's. That might be a problem.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I can't get there at work. What day and time is the draft?

[Michael82]

Uhh, how long will this league draft be? I have another one that starts at 9:30pm. :eek:

Mikey I think last year we went pretty fast, like 2 hours.

It is a reference to Erroll Flynn. He went to prison for statutory rape. Hence in (the prison) like Flynn.

Labor Day! I have my other draft on Labor day. Every year on Labor Day. And I'm the defending Champion.

That works for me. :up:

[Sabre Ally]

Yeah, a bunch of us may have to skip out early to make the other draft at 9:30.

[Halbert]

I found an answer to my question/concern on the Yahoo FF help section:

Can I participate in more than one live draft at the same time?

While it is best to only participate in one live draft at a time, you can run multiple applets simultaneously.
Additionally, while we strongly suggest that each manager participating in a live draft uses his/her own computer, it is possible to have multiple managers drafting on the same computer.

In order for multiple managers to draft at the same time, the first user would log in, open the Java Draft applet, and then log out of Yahoo while keeping the draft window running. The second user (and any subsequent users) would then have to log in and launch another draft client.

[Halbert]

And you better draft well because with that many starting spots plus seven bench there ain't gonna be crap for free agents, especially after the first 4 games of the season.

Was it like that last year? I don't remember that.

This was my roster from this league last year...

Looks like we have one more WR spot this year.

That's a lot of players for a 12-team league. :eek:

[Michael82]

Why the hell is this a points league? Those suck! H2H is so much better! :mad:

Points league?? I don't know about that.

I just looked at the league and it's a points league. That's not right. This should be the same kind of league as last year. :mad:

[Halbert]

I like that it's a total points league. But I'll go with the concensus.

[Patrick76777]

Guys I can't do that date and time. I was looking forward to beating all of you but my only other league drafts at the exact same time. Figured I'd give you some time to find a fill in.

Jerk!

[Halbert]

Can we get a decision on bench size before I send my money to Log?

If you haven't seen my views on bench size, here it is:

The saying "In Like Flynn" refers to Errol Flyn's ability to crash any party he wanted.

my history advisor told me the prison story, but yours makes more sense

[BillsFever]

This is a H2H league. Made a mistake but fixed it.

Tell the truth. You learned it in prison, didn't you?
