WW fantasy football ( Playoffs start this week)
 

MollyMurphy and I were talking about fantasy football last night and she decided she wants to join a league this year. I thought it may be fun to try and get a league together of all WW players since we have a pretty tight knit community.

I also think this would be good for beginers since it would be free and very casual so if you ever wanted to do FF now is the time.

I've used Yahoo before with good results. We would do a live draft since that is half the fun on a date most convienent for everyone.

Once I know how many people we will have I can create a league, max is 20 if we even get close to that. I suggest signing up like you would a normal WW game.

1. Lathum
2. MollyMurphy
3. Saldana
4. Path
5. AlanT
6. Chief Rum
7. Schmidty
8. Hoopsguy
9. Passacaglia
10. Oliegirl
11. Autumn
12. NTNDeacon

I'd be up for that.

Sure, I'll join in.

Vote Tomlinson

I'm down for it.

Alan, that's a pretty wolfish move.

VOTE ALAN

I'll play.

Count me in.

If I can make the draft, I'll play.

I was thinking about this last night - I'm so in! If I can't make the draft, is there a way to do an automated draft list or something?

yeah, there will be an auto draft option but I hope we can find a good date for everyone.

ok, I'll count you in for now

put me in coach I'm ready to play Today

I played FF on Yahoo last year, and it was fun, but it would be much more fun to play with people I know (kind of). I don't take it terribly seriously, so it'd be nice to join a fun league.

I'll try to make a draft day. I work at home on the computer, so it should be doable.

OK, we are up to 12, does anyone have a preferance on draft days/ times?

I was thinking of a monday evening around 8:00 PM EST .

When would the night deadline be?

Any time after 8pm EST works for me for the most part.

Not sure what you mean?

the draft would be a live draft ant take about 1.5- 2 hours.

It was just a WW joke.

8 pm should work for me, do we have an idea of which Monday it's going to be? I can't make this coming Monday b/c I'll be driving home from the beach...but as far as I know any other Monday coming up is good.

That sounds like a relatively good time for me. Close to the kids' bedtimes, but there's no telling ahead of time how those will go.

not until late august.

I'm out if the Monday is Labor Day, as I have a vacation wrapped around that date. But other than that, a Monday night works for me.

it won't be labor day

As the token west coast guy I have to say that 9 Eastern would be much much easier for me.

Monday's are usually bad for me because that's one of my two-job days. But if we set it now (like, by this weekend at latest), and it's not next Monday or the Monday after that, I should be able to ask for it off and get it. I'm already locked in to that schedule, though, through August 13.

it will be after the 13th, Is 9:00 ok for the esat coasters?

Sounds ok. I assume the first week of the season is the Labor day weekend.

9 Eastern is fine with me

I can't speak for other West Coasters, but I can do 5 p.m. out here. I should be able to get home in time. If it helps with the East Coasters, I mean.

OK< draft is set for Monday the 27th at 8:15PM EST. I tried to get something a little later but it would have been 9:30 which may be a little late for the east coasters.

I for some reason you can't make the draft yoiu can set up a preference list and the computer will auto draft so you can still play.

Sign up at Yahoo. You will need the League ID number which is 313136 and the password is lynch. Settings are below.

If you have already signed up in the Yahoo forum can you post your team name?

I am the Villagers

I'm the Vermont Snow Drifts. Sorry I didn't think of a clever Werewolf reference :-)

Villager Every Time

We are the Lycanthropes

Only six teams signed up so far - hoping to see a bunch more, based on the response in the thread.

The Tiny Bodyguards are signed up.

the dead villagers are in

I'll pm those who haven't signed up yet.

The Jaw Hop Dawgs are in! :)

don't forget the draft is monday

so are there still available teams?

daddy-friggin-torgo is in

"Vinegar Checking In" has joined the league!

Turns out I'll miss the draft after all, but I put in my rankings so it should be fine.

thats to bad but glad to have you along anyway

bump. reminder that the draft is 8:15pm EST 2NIGHT

Making my list now. Is the draft order known?

not yet, 30 minutes prior.

will you be there?

Most likely not. I might be able to pop my head in every so often, but I wouldn't count on it.
