@DisgruntledHawkFan would make for 7 teams, btw. We got anyone else interested? I believe @RayP makes for 8 actually. @IU Hawks fan you interested? Anyone else know of anyone who would want in?

As of now. Unless there are complaints and we vote to change something. Everything is up for discussion in my leagues. You have a concern? It's pretty much standard PPR with yardage bonuses. I made some very minor tweaks to other things, but nothing crazy.

Okay, I think as long as we have at least 8 owners we should be good.

We should hit 10 without an issue. I think there are at least two or three more joining just from this thread.

It'll be converted to a $50 cash league sometime in the next few days, once we're mostly filled up. I hate converting to a cash league prior to having all 10, because if someone doesn't pay, it screws everything up, converts it back to a non-cash league, and then refunds all entries that were paid.

I've never done cash league in yahoo. Just pay the commish or use league safe I guess but that sounds easier.

Yahoo's payment system is pretty solid, IMO. I've used league safe before, but it seems unnecessary. Everyone pays Yahoo, then when the season is over, Yahoo pays everyone out within a week or two, usually.

One thing my other league has that I never did before is the use of FAAB for waivers. Each team gets $100 in monopoly money to bid on players for waiver claims. Everyone puts in blind bids for players on waivers and the highest bid gets the player. Once your FAAB is gone, it’s gone, you can only bid $0 after that. It seems like it will be fun. Just throwing it out there.

Sounds like way too much for me to track. Lol. I run the football, and the hockey, and baseball playoffs start next week. Doesn't seem like a bad concept, I just don't feel like record keeping all that info. My daughter's cheerleading schedule started back up last weekend, also, and my other daughter is a freshman in college, and there are events going on where I'll be gone. Throw in that fall is one of the times of year where I have the boat out fishing the most... and I'm just too busy to try and manage all that.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Yahoo would track the FAAB so it's not that difficult. It should work that it executes bids on Tuesday or Wednesday and the rest of the pick ups for that week are 1st come, 1st serve.

Ah ok. Something we can discuss, then, if I don't have to do too much management of it.

Yeah, it seems like Yahoo tracks it for everyone. When I go to make a waiver pickup, it tells me what I have. I don’t expect us to do it as it’s probably uncharted territory for all of us, just wanted to make everyone aware of its existence. I’ll let you guys know how it goes in my other league, maybe something to keep in mind for a future league.

 

[chicagoskycam]

FAAB adds more strategy to pick ups other than I'm last every week so I get the guy 1st or I'm the guy on the computer all the time when it goes live. I'm down with whatever.

As the commish, what options does it give you for pick ups. I did before in CBS and it worked great. Not sure about Yahoo

 

[ChiHawks10]

We gonna fill this up or what?

 

[ColdSteel2]

If we did fantasy on here I would be down to join as well.

Where you at @Any Colour You Like ?

 

[ChiHawks10]

Where you at @Any Colour You Like ?

@RayP also. They'd make 8. DHF would make 9. What about you @sabresEH ? You'd make 10.

 

[AmericanDream]

[RayP]

We gonna fill this up or what?

[TLEH]

When you guys drafting

 

[ChiHawks10]

When you guys drafting

As of now it's set for sunday at 6. We can discuss that though. Need to fill the league. @RayP makes 7. You'd be 8. Need two more. I believe @DisgruntledHawkFan would be in if we can get 9.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Still need three more.

 

[RayP]

Still need three more.

Or do an 8 team league with like 2 bench spots only for the insanity.

Winner take all.

Not sure I can do it. Got a lot to prep for with this hurricane. I’ll join if you guys end up just needing 1.

 

[RayP]

Kind of joking, kind of not. It would be an absolute circus.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Honestly if it's only gonna be 8 I wouldn't even wanna do it. Can't believe we can't fill out 10.
