2021-22 Battle for Shining Path's Cup - Semifinal time!! (1 Viewer)

[Henry Ford]

I'm playing around with FleaFlicker and I like it. Lots of scoring options.

I think I want to put kickers back in, with bonuses for long kicks.

That’s what I did when I ran my other league. Everyone whined. By the second year they loved it. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

We're up to 8 of 12 spots filled. Who else wants in?

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

it's showing draft is today at 10AM  I better get to studying

Hey, we're in a hurry!

Good catch. I canceled the scheduled draft.

 

[rockaction]

Officially In. Thanks for the groundswell of support from higgins and Corporation. Let's do this!

 

[Andy Dufresne]

10 of 12 spots filled with one empty spot expected to be @Yankee23Fan

Don't know who else is missing. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

We're missing one and I don't know who it is. 

Anyone want to join in?

2. @Buddy Ball 2K3

4. @bananafish @Stuart_Little

10. @Yankee23Fan

It's one of these 3... 2 slots unclaimed in the league right now, and I don't know who rock is replacing, is it Yankee?

Yankee's in. He sent me his email. 

So it's @Buddy Ball 2K3 and @bananafish in the Thunderdome.

Two men enter. One eunuch and a grotesque medical experiment with a future in the San Fernando Valley leave.

[Andy Dufresne]

We're still short at least one player. I've been waiting to see if @Buddy Ball 2K3 or @bananafish / @Stuart_Little responds since they were here earlier last week.

If both want to play, it should work even with 13 teams because in "these unprecedented times" we would make this a total points league.

That's too bad. If you need to drop to get to H2H and ten, I'll go. I'm going to be managing a difficult dynasty situation this year regardless of The Path (I can only imagine that the way to enlightenment was capitalized). I'm not falling on a sword -- I'd love to play, but it's not necessary to play. Thanks for the thought.

I have seen bananafish around -- I believe it was last week or the week before. We had a lengthy discussion about a matter political. But his contributions these days are few and far between, I'm afraid.

I'd stick around.  We moved our standard baseball and football league to total points, because I'm pretty confident that we aren't going to make it to the playoffs.  So if the season ends midstream, we'll still crown a champion.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

 

[rockaction]

Okay. Sounds good. I'm for it!

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Rather than start a new thread, I think we'll just keep this one for this season.

WE WILL BE SIMPLY A TOTAL POINTS LEAGUE THIS YEAR.

:11:

 

[Corporation]

Whoa!  Kickers are in?!?!?  This changes everything, I need to update my lists.

 

[Corporation]

Well crap my reputation is 666.  Somebody do something to change that.

Good, thank you I'm at 667 now.  Don't do anything negative to me

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Gotcha covered.

 

[rockaction]

But...but it goes to eleven...

 

[Andy Dufresne]

But...but it goes to eleven...

And there's none more black either. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Draft has started. Fire at will.

@Henry Ford you are kicking us off!

 

[nittanylion]

If the two slackers show up before we complete the 1st Round (which is an entirely possible occurrence in this League), would we add them to the end of the line, or are we moving forward, as is?

...oh, and LAWYERS...

I think I'll just add them at the end of the line, yes. 

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

we are off to a blazing start    

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Henry may be hurricane prepping. We'll give him a break. 

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

This is way more important than safety, health, and property!

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, wow. I didn't think about hurricane prep for Henry and others in the NO area. I wasn't even aware of the hurricane until I watched the Weather Channel last night and saw them drawing ominous things on whiteboards. Stay safe, friends.

 

[Henry Ford]

I had no idea the draft was starting. Sorry, guys. Not on this board much anymore. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Frankly, didn’t know I had first pick either. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Henry may be hurricane prepping. We'll give him a break. 

Marco was a dud (thankfully) but yes. We’ve been prepping to get hit by two hurricanes. Looking rather likely that Laura does some damage, hopefully where there are no people. 

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

That’s no way to talk about Floridians.

 

[Henry Ford]

That’s no way to talk about Floridians.

Oh, I don’t mean Floridians in general. Just the ones who choose to stay in Florida.

Like everything Year 2020, we're kind of flying by the seat of our pants with this thing. I all came together pretty quickly. No big deal. 

Everyone should get email notifications for when they're on deck/drafting - so it should be easier. Check your spam folders. My FleaFlicker emails seem to always end up there for me.

In retrospect, I thought they were emails for my other league. It started Monday afternoon, too.

I'll bump this about four or five times just so everyone gets it.

Or, maybe people could just "like" it so that I know it's been seen...?

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

@higgins on the clock btw , just in case he didn't get the email earlier this AM

 

[rodg12]

Apologies for the delay.  Missed the pick notification email.

@Cold Dead Hands now up.

 

[Keerock]

How the heck are we going to schedule with 11 teams?

We're a total points league now per Andy. I'm only answering because I feel partly responsible as the new guy on the block. I hope it's not a serious deterrent to enjoyment. It makes sense with COVID potentially abbreviating the season, I guess.

You're unfrozen. You should be happy.

I offered to drop out, but was sort of told to stay and that the format would change. I don't think it was necessarily for me, it was just how it went. 

 

[rockaction]

We've got eleven in Summerpalooza, too. I'm hoping we get a twelfth for that one. Anyone interested in a music draft and subsequent fantasy football season? 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

:(  

We couldn't find a twelfth.

I'm not convinced they'll get in 17 weeks. 

It's something different.

:(  

This is what we did in my long standing leagues in baseball and football as well.  Hoping it is just a one year anomaly, but it was a very unsatisfying end to our basketball season that made us lean in that direction.  I think it'll be fine.

 

[facook]

Is there an entry fee?  I'd be willing to be the 12th (and pick 12th) if it's still doable and would make the caveman happy even though it's total points.
