Sorry guys. Failing in my job as commissioner. Who knew that Bettman's job was this tough.

I've gone through all the settings to try and see what's wrong, but as far as I can see we have 6/12 teams and it's a published league where only a link will work to join. Just in case, here's a new link (the old one wont work anymore).


Actually. I might have found the problem hidden in the commissioner stuff. While id wiped the teams and it said they were free, Yahoo was still holding them as "reserved" spots.

We just need to make sure we have an even number of teams in the league before draft day.
Invite works now, thanks. Fill 'er up.

Are we capping this at eight players or going for twelve like last year ?

Not sure how the playoffs would work with ten players - maybe like the NFL where 1st place gets a bye then 2-7 play in the first round ? Could we even set it up like that ?

A league can run with as few as 4 teams. So the 8 we have this year is fine. Not sure how the playoffs would work, but I'm guessing Yahoo has a method or they would require more teams.

We just need to have an even number so I will lock the league now and we are rolling with 8 teams. Thanks to everyone who is in. Good luck with the draft. I'll be on autodraft unfortunately as I'll be away from the resort and out of WiFi range.

Playoffs with 8 teams should be easy - there's a bunch of different ways it could work (1-4 with just two rounds, 1-2 getting byes & 3-6 playing, all teams playing, etc).

It sucks that you can't make the draft but since you are on holiday in Fiji i guess there are worse situations you could find yourself in... :)

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. We went to the island they filmed Castaway on a couple of days ago.

Good look & have fun with the league, I am juggling between timezones between Asia & Europe so I won't have time this season.

With full 20+ rosters, 8 teams is plenty. I'd just as soon not be wondering if I need to take a Xhekaj or Reimer in mid rounds.

Good luck.

That's half of the fun...! I love deep fantasy leagues. Used to do a NFL one where we picked individual defences - it was great.

Did anybody else have problems with the app freezing/crashing during the draft yesterday? I ended up with a couple auto picks & most others being rushed as a result of that. Started about round 3 or 4.... It's only been like this since the recent app update made by Yahoo (which sucks, by the way).

Think I'll use the browser from this point on... Can't really complain as i got #1 pick. Watch for McJesus to get hurt early... :laugh:
