Yahoo has a free service and I already have (and have had teams) there if that factors at all. I would be interested in whatever you come up with in the end though. I've been playing in several free and non-free leagues with my son for 5 years now.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I have a league set up on espn.com with 6 members of the site already signed up, with room for 3 or 4 more. I'd love to have you join if you'd like, just send me a pm with an email address to send the invite to. If you don't have an espn.com account, you'll have to sign up, but it's all free, with free live scoring, a feature I love, which on yahoo costs a price. If you know of anyone else here on dt.com, let them know about it too. As close as it's getting, I'll have to say first come first served from here out.
Thank you and have a great day.

I'll play...I may need some coaching, however, since I've never done this before.

So, how do we get players. I'm so confused.
♪♪No secret, no matter how nasty can poison your voice or keep you from joy ♪♪ -- Perfume Genius
We will have a draft once we have 10 players. We were going to do it here but now that it is getting close to the season I think that Spaceman may have the ESPN website do an autodraft for us. To do that you would rank the players according to how you think you would draft them and then the website will give you the best available player according to your list each time it gets to you pick.
RUBE explained it well. If you go to your team page (with no players) there should be an option to pre-draft rank them. Not sure if it goes pick for pick, but if you rank someone they have 30th around 10th, you'll more than likely get them, unless someone else had them higher. Sucks to auto-draft, I know, but a post draft would take eons, seeing as how it's been a month and we still only have 8 registered players. Waiting for Spencer to confirm and join as the 9th, the 10th spot is still up for grabs. I'll say it now, if no one from here joins by September 1st, I'll have one of my brothers take the final spot, so we can get some players and possibly trade before the season starts.

Oh, and Spencer, you can exclude players in your pre-draft rankings, which means you are guaranteed they will NOT be on your team. *ahemderekandersonahem*

Thanks guys. That helps.

Still need one participant for the league. Hoping we can get someone from on the board, so I don't have to resort to my brother, who never reads, let alone read the DT series.
Sending Spencer a PM so maybe he'll join by the 1st.

Okay guys, I'm going to be gone for two weeks starting Saturday so is there any way we will be doing the draft before then?
♪♪No secret, no matter how nasty can poison your voice or keep you from joy ♪♪ -- Perfume Genius
We have to so that we can be ready before the first game... BUT we need another participant 1st. Does anyone know somebody else that may want to participate? Apparently no one else from the pick-'em contest wants to play because posts there have not drummed up much response.
Sorry I can't play. Real life is just too crazy at the moment. Good luck getting someone!

I guess it is time to sign up your brother because we only have until Thursday and I would like to see what players I end up with a few days in advance. I hope Educated Lady set her player rankings already so that we can go ahead and do the draft.
SpaceMan, are you going to do a key so that we can tell which team corresponds with which person? Mine is obvious but I would like to know who I am beating each week.
He's still sleepin after our big ass party yesterday, but I'll send him an invite today and hopefully get the draft done. Once I have some time, I'll write out who's teams are whose in here, but if you click on their team in the league page, it should say who's it is.
Spencer is now joined, so I'll check my rankings and should have the draft done by tonight.
