If you guys find your self with a spot available I would be interested. I play a lot and just had a dynasty league break up after almost 15 years.

[Ben Staad]

I may be wrong but I think there is an open spot. I'm sure the commish will chime in on this.

If there are any spots still open I'd love to participate next season.

[RUBE]

Sorry, I spent the long weekend camping on a beach and did not get on the internet once. There is one open spot right now but Garrell still hasn't confirmed that he and Joe are back yet. Let me send him a PM again and then I will get back to y'all.

[SpaceMaN]

Is trading off right now? I was gonna offer ya something RUBE.

[RUBE]

Trading and waiver pickups shut off between the NFL draft and our league draft. If Garrell would acknowledge he is coming back then we could get everything setup and draft early. Then everything would open up again.

[RUBE]

Damn time flies... It's been a month since that last post. I have heard back from Garrell and he and Joe are in. Unfortunately it looks like Tim (Ben Staad) will not be able to participate this year.

I have offered the two open spots to the members who asked at the top of the page. Once they reply I will randomly assign them a team. Then we can start talking draft dates.

[RUBE]

It looks like AstroDad and Wolfehr have accepted their invitations to join the league. That means we have a full league and it is time to start discussing a draft date. Remember it will be a three round, rookie and free agent draft and the three roster spots will be added so you don't have to drop anyone. I would prefer to have it sooner rather than later so that trades and other roster changes can open back up.

Also, if there are rule changes anyone would like to suggest now is the time. I have considered adding another starting flex position since our rosters are so large. What do you think?

[AstroDad]

is there a list of rules somewhere outside the site rules for this league?

Is this a money league?
are players held indefinitely or is there a max number of years?
Can picks be traded or only players?
Does the league vote on trades or does the commish just approve them unless there is a serious injustice going on?

I am sure I have other questions...i'll think of them later

[RUBE]

Most of the rules are available to look at on the league page. It is not a money league but we do have a traveling trophy. Players are held indefinitely. Picks can be traded but I may need to set that up. The league votes on trades.

Let me know if you have more questions.

[Lookwhoitis]

whats the deal with the draft date? inquiring minds want to know...

[RUBE]

I haven't heard much from anyone except a couple dates people couldn't make. I went ahead and set it for this Sunday night at 7:30 central time.

[Lookwhoitis]

cools

[Ben Staad]

Good luck everyone. Sorry I had to drop out this year. Between personal issues and trying to balance life, FF just didn't make sense to me this year.

[DoctorZaius]

Works for me - thanks for the update!

[Lookwhoitis]

Is everyone on point and ready to participate in tomorrows draft?

I mean if a lot of people are autopicking it could suck.

[AstroDad]

i'll be there

[AstroDad]

1. Equus Asinus (SkippyDo23), 4-12
2. The Forbidden Zone (Doctor Zaius), 6-10
3. Death by Snu Snu (Kent*), 6-10
4. The La-Z-Boys (Joe*), 6-9-1

6. Bethlehem Steel (ELazansky), 8-8
7. Waste Lands Blaine's Pains (Jason*), 8-8
8. Mid-World Mediocrity (SpaceMaN), 9-6-1
9. Ben Staad Bears, 9-7, Fourth-Place
10. Garrell's Raiders, 10-6, Third-Place
11. Rube's .45s, 9-7, League Runner-up
12. Walkin' Dudes (Lookwhoitis), 13-3, League Champion
*not on the forum

[RUBE]

Yes. You take the position of the team you took over.

As for the draft date, I have asked for draft suggestions for a month and no one suggested a time. When I sent an email, I received four dates that wouldn't work for some members; yesterday, next Friday and Saturday, and September 4th. When I set the date it sent an email to everyone and I have only received positive responses so far. I can't do a lot of days going forward because it is my busiest time of the year but I will send one more email just in case someone has a conflict.

[AstroDad]

i also have a lot of conflicts during the week, so this time is perfect for me

[Lookwhoitis]

works for me as well and looking forward to it.

There is just not a lot of life in this thread. Hopefully folks are paying attention and saw the draft email sent by the league.
(especially the folks who do not spend much time (or are not on at all) on the boards)

Picking in the 12 hole, i am just sketchy of the idea of the computer going on an autopick rampage in an eternal keeper dynasty league. (Hoping for those "blunder" picks like Johnny Football of which there are often at least one or two, allowing more quality guys to slip to a later pick (see Devonta Freeman in the draft two years ago)

[Lookwhoitis]

Good luck everyone. Sorry I had to drop out this year. Between personal issues and trying to balance life, FF just didn't make sense to me this year.

Sad to see ya go Ben Staad. You were often in the running in our division.

Rube, who is taking over Ben's team as it still has his team name in the 2016 league?

[Lookwhoitis]

I have considered adding another starting flex position since our rosters are so large. What do you think?

I support the idea of adding another Flex position

[DoctorZaius]

Any body know where to find out what the draft order is?
