The FOFC Keeper League - 2008 Season (1 Opening For 2009) - Page 3

JAG · 08-27-2008, 08:25 PM

Assuming everything is working, "The draft clock will be active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST)". We'll know when we hit 12:00am EST I guess. So long as the clock continues to work properly, I'm alright with continuing to use the draft room. If it breaks down again, I'd prefer to go with drafting in the thread.

FYI, PackerFanatic is on the clock with 30ish mins to go.

PackerFanatic · 08-27-2008, 10:49 PM

I forgot I had my pick, and I was at a haircut - luckily I had guys in my list that it went off of. Sorry for making you folks wait.

PackerFanatic · 08-27-2008, 10:50 PM

And I JUST made it on for my 2nd pick - nice.

I created a league there to check out the options and it looks pretty good to me.

Yeah, let's go with this site. I'm going to finish setting up the league and then I'll send eveybody an invite. The only thing that we will lose with this site, is our playoff system. I can't see a way to set up the Rookie and Pride Bowl's. I'm sure we can come up with something.

TLK · 08-28-2008, 07:38 AM

Invites have been sent to the e-mail addresses that were listed on Sportsline. I'll modify the divisons and rosters, once everyone has registered. Let me know if anything needs to be changed.

Good call of Fleaflicker. I am in another league on there and they're a pretty good site. I believe they also have free live scoring, too.

MikeVic · 08-28-2008, 09:47 AM

I'm in.

JAG · 08-28-2008, 09:49 AM

Joined. Only minor rule thing I saw was:

Returning
Rule Apply To
6 points for every Kick Return TD ALL
6 points for every Punt Return TD ALL

I think that should be only to team defense, I don't believe we've ever credited KR/PR TDs to other positions before.

JAG · 08-28-2008, 09:55 AM

dola

Only negative I see thus far is they don't have a draft option that would work for us. On the other hand, they have an option to import a draft so we could just find a place to draft next season and go from there. Worst comes to worst we could always draft on the board.

Good catch. Also, the league only allows for whole points. Sacks went from -.5 to -1 for every 2 sacks.

sterlingice · 08-28-2008, 10:03 AM

Yeah, we didn't double dip on the return TDs- it was always on DST.

SI

saldana · 08-28-2008, 01:08 PM

i really like the trade options...multi team, future draft picks.

Lathum · 08-28-2008, 01:23 PM

I didnt get the invite...

MikeVic · 08-28-2008, 04:56 PM

Echoing someone in the chat, I'd like to also get done before the weekend... I won't be by a computer for most of Saturday.

JAG · 08-28-2008, 05:37 PM

There are a bit over 5 rounds to go and we haven't gotten more than a couple rounds a day in. Maybe we should go to some extended time for the draft over the holiday then resume normal time afterwards? I know that's cutting it a bit close, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

johnnyshaka · 08-28-2008, 05:39 PM

I may have deleted my invite (probably flushed away in my junk mail folder) so if you could send it again, that would be great.

samifan24 · 08-28-2008, 05:59 PM

I will also be away from my computer for much of the day Saturday.

I agree - I doubt we will be able to get done before the weekend and most of us (including myself) will be quite busy over the weekend.

I'm in, thanks for re-sending the invite!!

TLK · 08-30-2008, 04:54 AM

Clock is set for 6 hours for the weekend. If you aren't going to be around, set a list and put it on auto-pilot. We need to finish this.

saldana · 08-30-2008, 08:03 AM

how many rounds are there?

I am in a Yahoo league that needs one more owner. Our draft is today at 2:30 PM. PM me if you'd like an invite. This is a non-keeper league with an average difficulty and casual level of play.

Eaglesfan27 · 08-31-2008, 11:24 AM

Due to Gustav, I may not be around for a few days starting as early as tonight. I loaded about 20 guys onto my list and put it on Autopilot. Should be enough for our team to finish this up.

All of the rosters have been imported, with the of JAG's last pick. Head over to FleaFlicker and check your team and make sure everything is correct. Due to the start of the season rapidly approaching... please don't add anyone until after Week 1.

sterlingice · 09-01-2008, 10:50 AM

Make sure to edit your lineups, tho

seeing as i protected rudi johnson, i probably shouldnt start talking smack just yet, so i guess i will just say "good luck everyone"

JAG · 09-03-2008, 02:04 PM

Good luck and have fun everyone.

Lathum · 09-03-2008, 02:30 PM

Is it just me or is there no dedicated TE starting lineup slot

PackerFanatic · 09-03-2008, 02:34 PM

Nope, just the WR/TE slot, which makes sense - since if you start 3 WR, you can't start a TE. And if you start a TE, you can't start 3 WR.

Lathum · 09-03-2008, 02:51 PM

hmm, was that a rule change from the past.

I remember always having to start a TE

samifan24 · 09-03-2008, 02:59 PM

Yeah, I didn't pay enough attention and drafted a TE because I thought I needed one. Odds are almost all teams will start a WR over a TE unless they own an elite TE.

MikeVic · 09-03-2008, 03:03 PM

I don't know, I don't remember thinking of TEs to draft in this league... maybe the first year?

JAG · 09-03-2008, 03:11 PM

From the rules:

Starting lineup min/max:

QB: 1/1
RB: 1/2
WR: 2/3
TE: 0/1
K: 1/1
DEF: 1/1

That means the following lineups for RBs / WRs / TEs would be legal:

2 RB, 3 WR
2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE
1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE

I don't think there would be any other combo of RBs / WRs / TEs allowed.

PackerFanatic · 09-03-2008, 03:24 PM

It appears that the 1 RB/3 WR/1 TE combo is not allowed.
