I don't remember... about how many hours is the draft?

depends on the participants, but usually like 1 - 1.5 hours. If you need to leave early, you can turn on auto draft at any time

I did that last year, which is why my team sucked. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

 

[RABBIT]

League set! An even 12 teams. ALL HFBOARDS MEMBERS! As of now it looks like we may stay at 12, as nobody else has approached me about joining. That could change, but the draft is right around the corner.

Full roster:
@DOTS13 (Werewolves of London)
@MIGs Dog (Grey Wolves)
@PainForShane (the Facemasks)
@Kyle003p (Beat the Spread)
@Dr VinnyBoombatz (Dr VinnyBoombatz)
@AZviaNJ (I hate Wendy's)
@middlebrook (Chayka's Hangover)
@GiveAFlyingPuck (Chipchura’s Champs)
@Summer Rose (Gainesville Magnitudes)
@Grimes (Tempe Trashers)
@Devils Badvocate (Puttin’ on the Foil Coach)
@RABBIT (Mr Hugh Jass)

If you want to join a group chat, join the discord channel below. I would recommend some kind of group chat, because the ESPN app doesn’t notify you of messages for some reason. You have to consistently check. A group chat is good for trade requests, league discussion, and trash talk.

Regarding payment, we have a few options. I’m going to stay neutral on the topic, as I’ll be the person managing the money. If you all agree to Zelle, I can do that. If you guys are split on what you want to do, there’s a paid service that we used last year that’s a bit more complicated and stringent but we can absolutely use if need be.

Please discuss in here so we can get a pulse, thanks!!! Looking forward to this

happy to have you!

I drank during my draft so maybe I’ll try that excuse

 

[Summer Rose]

I’m fine with Zelle even though I don’t know what it is, I just don’t really care either way. My only preference is I don’t want to be forced to use a mobile app, but the that’s not a huge deal either.

Doesn't matter to me, I'm good with whatever the group decides

Time and date for draft looks right on my end too

 

[RABBIT]

Have a potential 13th party interested. We will need to have an even amount so if anyone knows another person who's interested, let me know. It's not for sure yet, but we should lay the groundwork

The obvious choice

 

[RABBIT]

Alright guys, the league is officially set! We are no longer taking any new General Managers, so we will be a 14 team league.

- It looks like majority votes were for personal payments (i.e. Venmo, Zelle) so we will begin collecting payments before the draft.

- The draft is set for this Saturday at 6PM Arizona time. You will get an alert an HOUR before stating that your draft is beginning....DO NOT PANIC....it just means that the draft room is officially open. You will see a countdown and the official draft order at that time

- Friendly reminder to check for recently retired/injured players.

Let's have a blast. Don't forget to join the group discord - It's always fun to join a Fantasy Sports group chat. Join the GOALS IN DIFFERENT AREA CODES server Discord Server!

@RABBIT You forgot yourself. What's Rabbit's team name?

 

[Hogan20]

@RABBIT You forgot yourself. What's Rabbit's team name?

Mr. Hugh Jass

If I did the process of elimination correctly.

 

[RABBIT]

Ah yes, I forgot myself...Mr Hugh Jass himself. I have edited.

 

[DOTS13]

14 teams in league and right now 6 teams set to make playoffs. Everyone good with that? We could make it an even 7 and have the highest seed get a first round bye?

 

[MIGs Dog]

How could I forget...we were right next to each other at the bottom of the standings.

Oooh that's a good idea. I don't know how much control you have over that but if that's an option imo makes a lot of sense to expand playoffs while also giving some sort of incentive to finish 1st overall during the regular season.

Also 2 other things:
1) Tried to join the discord server but the invite link that @RABBIT enclosed above has expired
2) With 14 teams we should probably change the payouts -- maybe the top 4 finishers (rather than the top 3) finish in the money? Maybe something like:

Winner 50%
2nd place 25%
3rd place 15%
4th place 10% (this is basically getting your entry fee back)

Not fussed about the actual % but I do think 4 rather than 3 payments is probably more fair given 14 entries, plus then the first round of the playoffs get very interesting Up to you guys though.

Thanks so much @RABBIT and @DOTS13 !! Looking forward to seeing you all virtually on Saturday.
