If BG's have a choice between Norm and Acer, even if both are PJ's why choose Norm?

whatever is easiest for people.PayPal works. If you send as a gift (without a CC), I don't think there's any fees.Or PM me if you need an address to send a check or cash.

I would like to play, but I only have 8 dollars on paypal. I haven't been able to find a job either so I am broke. You are all lucky that I am so poor or I would take your money.

I will hook you up with $13. :thumbup:

Thanks though, being in a fantasy league always gives the season a little something extra.

Looks like 12 signed up so far. Will probably cut it off at 16 unless you guys want to go huge with up to 20 teams.

Rud, do we need to change the settings for the maximum GP per lineup spot? Or leave it at 82 and let it become a daily lineup free-for-all?Also, any thoughts on having a max number of goalies on the roster? I have to assume backups are going to to get more playing time this season with the condensed schedule, but the position is going to get thin pretty quickly ... especially if we go with 20 teams.

good point. I'll adjust the GP settings.as for goalies, I'm not sure. open to ideas.EDIT: the lowest maximum games played setting available in yahoo is 65. So, I guess we're going basically max lineups every day if they don't adjust that soon. I did set it at 65 though to put some limit on things.

I think yahoo gives 90 seconds per pick so it can take awhile if people are drafting slow. 2 to 3 hours most likely.can do auto-draft if you set it up ahead of time or have to leave in the middle, but you may not like the players you get.We have 15 teams in the league now. I think we should probably cut it off at 16.you can paypal me at arudnicki@yahoo.com

Yeah, well that will leave 2 teams without 2. I guess they could stream back ups to get enough but that would make a games played max even that more important. Maybe do 2 goalie spots but put like 30-35 game maxes on them assuming that is an option. Most #1 goalies are probably going to get some days off and then everyone should be able to get to that maximum even with backups. :shrug:

seriously though, the one thing that would help is if you could start more than 2 goalies in one night. that is a pain when most are playing on the same nights. not sure if you can even set it up for that though.
