OT: Canucks Board Veterans Fantasy Hockey Leauge 2014-15 - *Auction Draft*

[The Bob Cole]

Joined.

Appreciate the help rounding out the GM's.

As stated, we are set with 10, if anyone wishes to join we need a second GM to join as well. If we are stuck at an odd number 30 mins. before draft, the last team to sign-up will be removed.

We will draft at 4PM (pst) today!

 

[RandV]

Yeah make sure you lock the league so that any past invite doesn't suddenly sign up. Only open it if you have two people on hand willing to join.

what site are you running your fantasy league through? i am interested. i've never done one of these before but i'll be committed to it. Just got cut from my other one cause it was an odd number.

It's through Yahoo Fantasy Sports.

I'll have you on a tentative wait-list. Will need to hear from one of the other members I have messaged before I send out a sign-up link.

Will renew this for the coming year... returning members if interested should let me know.

Thinking of switching this to an auction draft. We'll also revise some of the rules that were rushed last year.

Oooo. An auction draft would be fun.

I sent you a PM already stating my intention of returning.

 

[Canucks LB]

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of activity in the league last year, any ideas on how to improve?

bring me in and I will raise high holy hell--either by trash talking or blowing up my team several times if I draft poorly

 

[The Bob Cole]

Renewal sent out.

Possibly opening up another 2-4 spots in the league.

Any comments from past members on scoring types?

Thinking of making it divisions (with H2H) and division winners get top playoff seeds. In addition to auction draft, thinking of making waivers FAAB (which means there's a budget you have on the year for waiver acquisitions).

 

[Raistlin]

renewed. the more GMs the better. never been in an auction draft before... any links?

 

[The Bob Cole]

^ here is an article that explains some strategies in Fantasy Football.

Can't guarantee replication in an NHL draft, but gets your head into the right thought process.

Also, we'll open to another 2-4 GM's. People interested in this annual league, that's been going on for over a decade now I believe, post here or send a PM to be considered.

As for draft, it's tentatively Sep 28th at at 6PM, but looking to maybe push it back to 8PM/830PM or so.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I'd love to join!

 

[The Bob Cole]

We'll need one more at minimum to join, as we'll need an even number to draft. Invite will be sent to you when we get another person in.

 

[The Bob Cole]

We need one more member, along with Canadian Canuck, if interested please post before tomorrow night.
