I'm back in for this year, trying to win it all after losing in the championship. I thought everything was excellent last season (head to head) and would like to see that continued.

I'm in again
I vote for a live online draft or a thread draft. Automated drafts just aren't fun.

Agree on live draft, if we can find a date that fits for everyone.
Just throwing out my thoughts to start- Head to Head Scoring categories: G, A, PPP, SHP, +/-, PIM, W, GAA, S%, SHO There a handful of other stats, we could throw one in as a sort of changeup: faceoff %, hits, and blocks. If forced to choose one of them, I'd take hits. I'd say minimum 8 teams, max 16. Roster: 2C, 2RW, 2LW, 2F, 2 Util, 4D, 2G, 2 IR spots, 4 bench spots = 22 rounds. Maybe drop the 2F or 2 Util if people feels that is too many.

I think we can all agree that it would be best if I pass this year

If we're going to add an "extra" stat category, I'd vote for hits.

Bump- league setup
Any thoughts on a draft date/time...currently showing Friday Oct 1 9pm, but this can be revised League # 63484 password trout Sign in to Yahoo!
Right now set up as 2C, 2RW, 2LW, 1 F, 1 Util, 5 D, 2 G. I added an extra D as I think it adds a little...D are a little harder to read than picking up an extra fwd. Also, chose hits as the wildcard category, making that extra D maybe more valuable if you get the right guy.

SOrry, not this year. I am SO not a fan of the "you have to update the roster for every day of the week" its ridiculously annoying.
Now, have a league setup where you draft 2 players at every position and tally points all season long? that I might be into. None of this "starters and sitters" crap. hockey is too damned busy for that. |

I'm not a fan of daily updates either. If it's a head to head league I say make it weekly roster locks. I know we did daily rosters last year but I agree with RendeR that it requires a lot of extra work.

I'm cool with weekly roster locks as well. Gives a more strategic component, rather than just moving guys from the bench to the lineup each day. |

I actually liked the thread draft we did here last year. Selfishly, I have a newborn at home and I doubt I can find a time to do a live draft. Either way, I'm already in as the Turner Burners

Updated to reflect weekly changes
I am cool with a thread draft (although I don't remember doing one last year), but we'd better get a move on filling the spots and starting. I think there is a game or 2 on 10/6, I know for certain there are games 10/7.

Here's the link from last year 2009 FOFC Fantasy Hockey Draft Thread - Front Office Football Central Yeah, we'd have to start very soon, as it took roughly 13 days last year to complete, but that was with 20 players and 12 teams. If we want to do this and get through it faster, we could make the teams a bit smaller. Would anyone be for getting rid of the "extra" positions (i.e. utility, and maybe the extra F and 5th D positions)? |

Don't even remember thread drafting...but we can do that again. Important part is filling the teams, at least 10, prefereably 12 and then we can start

We need more teams. SR, I'd recommend adding a call for more teams to the thread title and also add in the fact that we're now a weekly league.

I will update title.
Should we hold out for 10-12 teams, or start drafting once we hit 8? We can make a determination on roster size once we get the number of teams. I'm up for thread draft if everyone else agrees. I'll change draft to offline.

I vote for a thread draft with rules for how much time you have to move things along. See the FOFC Hardcore Baseball League draft thread to see how we made that one work.

I removed live draft from Friday
Thread draft in effect, starting as soon as we have enough teams. At 5 now, HB, CR and claphamsa make 8 if they are all in. Lathum expressed interest, making 9. If we can hit 10, I say we start.

10 sounds good to me, any less is too few- 12 would be good- but it may be better to get things rolling

Boberot I'll keep you posted on standby
Lathum we will thread draft. Time limit to be determined. With 12 teams I will probably reduce rosters slightly for time considerations. First game is noon on the 7th ( which is goofy as hell). If everyone is ready we can try starting today.

I say let's start today with no time limit for the first couple of days. Everyone can log in to the Yahoo league to see the player rankings.

Chief, if you have access at work and would be willing to update the first post semi regularly, that would be cool

Do you mean in a new thread? Like I would start up a draft thread? I can do that, although I might not be able to update right away at times (just ebcause I can't lave the browser on at all times). Obviously, I can only edit my own posts, but I can start a new thread so we have a thread with a first post with draft results if needed.
