PM me for the league password....

Also we're gonna have to do something for the draft because they're saving all the good times for the paid leagues....

TLK

New this year:

Can not cut List

Faulk, Marshall (RB-StL)
Gannon, Rich (QB-Oak)
Harrison, Marvin (WR-Ind)
Holmes, Priest (RB-KC)
Owens, Terrell (WR-SF)
Tomlinson, LaDainian (RB-SD)
Williams, Ricky (RB-Mia)

This includes injuries..... and they say more will be added through the year

I'm sending a pm right now....

TLK, I've sent my PM...

FM

What's the reason for having a can not cut list?

I set up a league and didn't have a problem with a draft time, LK. Maybe check again?

Yep.... they just opened everything up...... how about a Saturday afternoon?

If most of us can agree with this we'll stick with it....

TLK

My guess would be to avoid the losers who start off 0-4, then decide to release all their players into free agency just to screw up the league.

Nice idea, but I don't understand why it would stay on even if a player got hurt. That's just strange.

Here's Yahoo's explanation-

August 2nd will be fine with me.

coo. I like the can't cut list, also.

What I read into it was that they would stay on if they were injured. However, they would reevaluate the list throughout the season and if their injury turns out to end their season then they will update the list. Makes sense I guess.

I think you could screw up the league more by trading all your talent to one or two teams, as opposed to just cutting them.

True, but trades are easy to reverse. If all the players get dropped and then picked up by other owners, Yahoo usually won't bother stepping in to fix it.

mrsimperless: After seeing Yahoo's explanation, yes, I read it the same way.

Trades can be vetoed. Waivers are a free-for-all.

This is applying to private leagues, too? I mean, if me and nine friends I trust want to form a league, why do we have to be treated like babies?

Edit- I was wrong, it is optional in pay leagues

I agree... I think it should be optional in private leagues.

Why do the draft August 2nd, when the season doesn't start until after Labor Day? Why subject your rosters to a month of pre-season injuries as well as the playing time shakedowns?

I agree with lynchjm, why do it so early?

Also, how about a little roll call. I see 8 team names in there, but other than my team, I don't have a clue who's who :)

I'll start it, my team is the Quebec Rebels.

So here goes:
FrogMan -- Quebec Rebels

Add your team name at the end...

FM

Well

I thought

Illini Dan

might be alittle obvious. ;)

The Lion Kings :)

and every other FOFC League I've ran or been in, has drafted early..... if anyone really has a problem with it we can change it.....

yeah okay, maybe I'm a little dense tonight. I found the owner's list anyway, and figured out almost evryone... Forget about that roll call thing... :)

FM

Oh, okay, why mess with tradition. Whatever is fine with me. I'm just used to play in leagues where we draft at the very last minute, like finish the draft the Tuesday before the first Thursday :)

FM

Mine is really confusing, I'm ajtuck342


And I would just like to say right now, that you guys are going down:)

Note to self: remind tucker342 what he said in the preseason, when he goes down after three weeks :D

I knew who illinifan was and someone else over there that I can't remember.

My Yahoo name is TheCarnDawg
Team name same as Hattrick: Square Pegs

Ya probably, I suck at fantasy sports. But hey, might as well make crazy off the wall predictions now before I start getting my ass kicked:D

I believe I finished #2 in the last years FOFC Fantasy Football Season, does that mean I get a high draft pick?

I am:

The Mongol Horde


-Anxiety

I want Football season to start....

You and me both :D

FM

All filled up....

Does that mean football season can start now?

I wished...

Is the draft order just going to be random?

draft order determined in this thread....

http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/for...threadid=11318

I'm so tempted to take Vick, but since I have the first pick, I'll probably go with Preist Holmes... unless he's not all the way healed, than I obviously won't...

Draft Order-

1- ajtuck342
2- Silver Bullets
3- Quebec Rebels
4- Scranton Slime
5- Eater of Sandwiches
6- Yellow Jackets
7- The Lion Kings
8- Bengal Breakers
9- The Mongol Horde
10- Square Pegs
11- California Crusaders
12- Pack-Attack-Is-Back
13- Illini Dan
14- Turf Eaters

Woohoo, The Breakers' are gonna crush you all like a rogue wave!!



heh, ok, so like thats all the trash talking I'm good for =)

good luck everyone!

I hate being 5th. :mad:

I hear Holmes might hold out until he gets a new contract.

Would it be possible to start up a B-League for FOFC members? I saw this thread late but would be interested in gauging interest...

Yeah, but you'd only be allowed to draft Arena Football and NFL Europe players. ;)

You know, that would actually be kinda cool.

Ok guys- With the draft rapidly approaching, two points of interest.

1- Should we shorten the bench to maybe 5. Reason being twofold that the draft might take forever and the quality down there will be lacking. I'm thinking 6. Thoughts...

2- Has anyone looked at the scoring and seen anything that should be changed? It's basically the default, with the exception that I lowered Rec. Yards to 1 for every 15 yards, to possibly make WR's more valuable. Thoughts...

I'd be fine with 6, but not under that. It'd always nice to have a little bench. People thinking the draft will be long can always leave before the end of it. Once the season has started, it's always nice to have a bench spot for a out-of-nowhere F/A pickup...


I don't have anyt problem with the scoring rules, other than the 6 points for a passing TD for a QB. This, imo, gives too much importance to the QB position. I've always been in leagues where passing TDs were counted at 4 points per TD.

Anybody else feels that way?

FM

bump........ before this falls off the first page.....
