2022-23 Battle for Shining Path's Cup - Col Jessup Hugs the Cup! (1 Viewer)

[Corporation]

Hello all! Welcome back to the Battle for Shining Path's Cup! Our beloved founder @Andy Dufresne is taking a year off, but our usual motley crew is back for more punishment. This is a board draft, which set a record for speed last year. Scoring settings below but it is a pretty typical PPR, with the usual notable twist of no kicker in honor of Shining Path. This is free, just be active. We'd like at least 12 owners and will cap at 16, and former owners will get an auto bid back in. From our previous thread , some people have already signed back up. I'll let the Yahoo website randomize the order when we are ready to roll. Let me know if you are interested!

@higgins - higgins oVVn and shoot
@rockaction - Shutdown Corner

@rodg12 - Running Robots
@bro1ncos - Mile High Magic
@Chaos34 - Chaos's Shoes - After 2 hour clock skip, do not pick for him.

All others assumed to be after the 2 hour clock you get BPA according to FBG DD.

 

[Corporation]

League Settings: 12 teams, 3 Divisions. Division Winners + 1 Wildcard make the playoffs. Standard PPR with the exception of the Shining Path rule of no kickers. If you draft a kicker, you will be mocked.

1QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 WR/RB/TE, 1 DST - 14 roster slots, 2 IR

4 Pts Pass TD, -1 Int, 25 yards per point.
6 Pts Rush/Rec TD, 10 yards per point, 1 PPR, -2 Pts per fumble
6 Pts Return TD, 2 Pts for 2 point conversions

DST standard scoring

If we end up with a significant delay from anyone in the draft, I propose that we use the official @Joe Bryant Footballguys PPR Flex rankings to give them the top available starter slot they have open or bench player (excluding DST).

Do you need more? I enjoy being in leagues with folks from the boards.

You're in!

 

[neal cassady]

If you need someone, I’d be willing. Have 30+ years experience and have been at FBG’s for a long time.

 

[Corporation]

You are in!

I have a few PMs of people not yet committed so I think we will get to 12, we will give it a few more days then get cranking.

Welcome back! We will draft here, but I'm going to send invites to everyone on Yahoo so I will gather emails as we get closer.

happy to play again

Hello all! Welcome back to the Battle for Shining Path's Cup! Our beloved founder @Andy Dufresne is taking a year off, but our usual motley crew is back for more punishment. This is a board draft, which set a record for speed last year. Scoring settings below but it is a pretty typical PPR, with the usual notable twist of no kicker in honor of Shining Path. This is free, just be active. We'd like at least 12 owners and will cap at 16, and former owners will get an auto bid back in. From our previous thread , some people have already signed back up. I'll let the Yahoo website randomize the order when we are ready to roll. Let me know if you are interested!

I'll be happy to donate a Premium Hall Of Fame subscription to the winner this year. Just PM me at the end of the year and let me know who to award it to.

 

[bro1ncos]

I'll fill a spot if you need another.

Man. I run the thing for 15 or so years...

(Kidding! Glad the thing lives on!)

@Corporation Where we at with this?

Just bumping my offer

 

[kupcho1]

I only see 10 names in post #2, so if you need another, let me know.

Thanks bud! We are at 12, but if we have someone falter during the process we may pick you up (we've had that happen multiple times over the years).

 

[Corporation]

@Corporation Where we at with this?

Sorry everyone! Moved both my boys back into college, and then we picked up Covid so I've been out of it. Ready to roll now, we have our 12. I am sending the Yahoo league invite to everyone in a PM. I'll let the website randomize our order, and we will do the draft here on the boards. Sending invites shortly, and sorry again for the delay.

ETA: It'll be about 30 minutes before they all go out, apparently you can only start a new PM thread every 160 seconds.

ETA again: Apparently you can add multiple people to PM, so I'll do that

 

[Corporation]

OK invites are sent. When the league is full I'll let the site randomize the order. We need 3 Division Names so be thinking of those. Perhaps of some of our friends who are no longer with us, @wikkidpissah immediately comes to mind.

Division 1 will have Teams 1, 12, 6, 7
Division 2 will have Teams 2, 11, 5, 8
Division 3 will have Teams 3, 10, 4, 9

 

[neal cassady]

Randall would be a good one to honor.

 

[Corporation]

9 teams are in and I updated the post above to identify the owners. If you've signed up, please let me know which team you are and I'll update it. And of course you can change your name, although Neal's Notable Team has a nice ring to it.

Hope you and yours have bounced back bud. Thanks for getting this fired up.

Updated the post. Higgins sent me a note that his team is the usual oVVn & shoot. Did someone also create another higgins profile and name it Sudip? There are 2 team owners named higgins. The one with oVVn and shoot is a new account, the other has past Yahoo fantasy experience. I'm not sure if there was a glitch when you signed up. So we need either 1 or 2 to sign up (and need to know who Sam's team is). If the higgins thing was a glitch, we can remove the Sudip team.

 

[simsarge]

"and need to know who Sam's team is"
That's me simsarge. Team name change coming asap

I’m signed up now. Running Robots.

I think we are down to needing @Chaos Commish to sign in. @higgins I’m going to remove Sudip as I think that was a glitch in the matrix.

The league does have 12 but I’m not sure Chaos is really in. It is showing Higgins with 2 teams. We’ll hear from Chaos then get started.

Ah, gotcha! Will randomize in the morning and get the draft started!

 

[rockaction]

I'd like to nominate wikkidpissah, randall146, and Man Of Constant Sorrow as divisional names unless somebody knows deceased members that are close to them. It's really just a suggestion.

 

[rockaction]

Looking forward to the draft, guys. It should be fun drafting with you all. I've gotten to participate in this league for three years now and have always enjoyed it.

First year - quarters
Second year - semis, after the total points thing was settled
Third year - finals
Fourth year - ?????

Mmmhmm.

Peace.

This is a wonderful trio! Will update the division names!

We are ready to draft. On the yahoo site, I changed the draft type to live only to randomize the order. The draft order is at this page, but I will type it up top as well.

Yahoo

Best in class Yahoo Mail, breaking local, national and global news, finance, sports, music, movies... You get more out of the web, you get more out of life.

football.fantasysports.yahoo.com

The draft starts now! Last year we flew through the picks, so we'll stay with the 1 hour clock during the workweek. May give people a little grace today since the draft took a little longer to start than I expected. The league settings and points are in one of the first couple of posts. When you make a pick, please @ the next person so they will get a notification.

Thanks all, looking forward to it!
