whilst orioles does a good job with the thankless task that is organising all the fantasy leagues he seems to have become a bit of a grumpy mad dictator about the leagues and will not accomodate change even if all the other players in the league want it. (the 6 team playoff issue in the vets league for example)

so i decided to create a slightly different league. if anyones interested in joining let me know and we'll get it up and running. i was thinking £25 entry to create a nicer prizepool.

main variations from standard:

6pt passing td's
0.5pt per reception
normal roster + 2 IDP's (Independant defensive players)
2 extra bench slots
6 teams make the playoffs with 2 first round byes
draft order randomized by espn 1 hour before the draft (not manually manipulated by orioles)
Pause Switch to Standard View new forward thinking democratic...

WHAT?

Mad? MAD? MWUHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA [smiley:crazy]

A pox on all your houses you ungrateful curs - I shall move heaven and earth to make sure your little league of idiots fails and you are all led at last through the streets, in abject shame, to be executed in Orioleville's town square.

Then I shall relieve myself on your graves.

Mad, PAH!

On a serious note: the manual setting on the draft order is an anomaly - it was automatically set by the site, but because we're allowing pick trading, it lists it as manually set by the comish - it wasn't.
Report Yuvraj Singh August 24, 2010 12:43 PM BST
point taken about the draft order o, it just looked a bit suspicious.

5 runners so far

dont be shy, orioles can't hurt you i promise!

Buddy, I would, but I'm into double figures with leagues this season and I always believe that if you join a league, you try all the way.

I haven't the time, sorry.

I'm interested,don't mind IDP's to be honest.
Are you thinking 'snake' or 'auction' mate?
If I can do the draft date, I'm in seen as I don't yet qualify for the Vets league [;)]

Ok champ, looks like I'll have to draft like a champion a few days time, see you in the draft room.

Listen to you couple of tarts Laugh

ONCE AGAIN, the leagues aren't on merit, ladies, they're put together on the basis of who likes to play in what league.

I can swap you two around if you'd like.

Dunny can join the veteran's league (the name is ironic) with ron nasty (that name is not!) moving to league B; I don't mind.

Let me know asap, though.

no no, i'd gladly take the vets down Happy
Report orioles August 25, 2010 11:50 AM BST
Well, if Jeter and Zeeny insist, I'll have no choice.

If you don't want to move, and I have to remove you to make room for Dunny, don't despair - you'll be due a refund of 40% of your entry fee.

might be interested if I can make the draft also would you be interested in using FAAB?
Report Yuvraj Singh August 26, 2010 12:07 AM BST
dunny - snake draft, as for IDP's we'll see what the majority want when (if) we get a full league

buckio - i like the idea of FAAB (had to google it as i haven't played with it before) but i don't think espn supports it and i much prefer playing on espn over yahoo

draft date will be either the 6th, 7th or 8th september in the evening

7 potentials so far (will run with 10 or 12)

roll up roll up
Report Buckio3 August 26, 2010 12:29 AM BST
ESPN definately supports FAAB so wouldn't be a problem

Definately can't do 6th or 8th as I'm drafting in the other betfair leagues and can see those dates being a problem for others as well
Report Yuvraj Singh August 26, 2010 10:03 AM BST
found it buckio. changed waivers to FAAB. if there are any objections we can have a vote on it.

draft date set for Tuesday 7th at 8.00pm

I'm drafting for the keeper league on the 7th, so n can do i'm afraid

I can draft on any of those dates but looks like they may be problematic for most?
Report Dunny August 26, 2010 8:11 PM BST
7th after 8pm, or 8th is good for me.
