Congrats, Binky!

 

[WVU Alum]

Not sure why all the hate on me. I don't think I've been any more successful than the next guy here... and, as usual, I tanked the finals. Congrats to Binky for a great year/playoff!

Thanks as always for running @Corporation!

Happy New Year all!

Well, you are the only 3 time winner.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

It’s a good league, Corp. Thanks for running it. The only problem is that Keerock guy. He needs to start paying rent for his house in the finals of this thing.

In all serious, what a fantasy football player! Keerock, man, and Binky too (Didn’t you win Tim league once?). Just excellent fantasy football guys. I admire you both for being consistently just good at it. It’s quite remarkable. I remember the points league Andy ran was so far over and done with by the finish because Keerock was so far ahead we actually changed the format and ran playoffs to keep people involved—but everybody knew who the champ was.

Nice work in this league, Keerock. I know I said it before, but I hope you guys shatter some scoring records (Nico won’t help, Kee. I suffered through that one in another league today. My dynasty league finals.)

Peace and goodwill to you all.

ty. you're a good man RA

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

also ty guys for the well wishes but this isn't over - and I'm a bit superstitious ...

it has been fun and this last couple of weeks injuries have made it especially challenging - I went through a number of RB pick ups and drops and lucked into Abdullah after Montgomery went down and after several add/drops finally settled on a very late add of Olamide Zaccheaus that was incredibly fortunate to replace the late scratch CeeDee Lamb.

Dang I forgot there was a game tonight I've already updated the list of winners to put you on top. Please don't make me edit it

Awww, my man. No hate.



I’ll check back in with congrats when the game is over. C’mon fellas! It ain’t over.

 

[Corporation]

oh man ...

It is Oh-ficial! Congrats @New Binky the Doormat ! Looking forward to next year guys!

 

[rockaction]

Congrats, Binky! A well-deserved win. Good draft and additions.

(It must have been that trade that put you over the top. LOL. Peace)

we doin' this?

 

[bro1ncos]

 

[Truebluey]

I think i didn't come last this past year. So that's an improvement.
Maybe i can keep improving?

 

[Corporation]

Alright everybody, who's ready to remember why we gathered here in the first place! And then after 2 weeks, remember why we may have stopped playing! This is always one of my favorite leagues of the year, and my only re-draft league. The other 2 leagues I'm in just because of the guys I've been in the league with so long, so pretty much the same reason for this one. Please let me know if you are interested in playing again, and I'll fire up a new thread. Thanks all!

And hey that is a cool tagline. What is an InterBoard League Representative?

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

bump me to the reserve list please @Corporation - doing extra work for my side hustles so not a lot of free time right now, but will play if you can't find a replacement, just LMK!

 

[bro1ncos]

Back for another year

IBL is a league that 12 FBG are in that goes against 4 other Fantasy Football sites/boards. Unique feature is there are five 12-team, 16 round drafts, with a mix of players from all boards, that can trade across all drafts. Draft A can trade into Draft E and vice versa. B to D, etc. Then these all combine into a big 60 team league, with 5 versions of each player available. We do all play to determine individual team winner and board winner at end of the year. FBG are 2-time defending champs, going for a 3-peat.

Will do! I'm swamped at work myself and I'm signed up to be an adjunct university professor for the first time. Hopefully the slow draft we do allow for people to live their outside lives Also, I will not look very hard for someone and force you to play as a replacement

 

[kupcho1]

Yeah, what the hell. I'm in.

Happy birthday old man!!!

(I was a sophomore in HS when you were born ...)

 

[rockaction]

I think I’m out this year. I’m trying to cut back on my FF and agreed to Summerpalooza. I’m sorry, fellas, but I’m going to have to stick with one

I hope this is cool.

I understand. We'll check back with you before we start if you have a change of heart. Totally understand needing to cut back though.

[WVU Alum]

If you need someone to round this out I could probably come back. I was in this as Couchburners.

 

[kupcho1]

Is this the league with Super Duper Ultimate flex? No set positions, just 8 of whatever you want to play that week.
No kickers, of course.

Correct on the kickers, other than that it is a pretty vanilla setup.

League Settings: 14 teams, 2 Divisions. Division Winners + 4 Wildcard make the playoffs. Division winners get first round bye. 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

 

[kupcho1]

Start date?

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

Start date?

I think we're still getting teams - looks like we've got 10-11 right now

Let's go with 11 and switch to rotisserie (exclude kickers)
It's what Shining Path would have wanted.

I think we have 12 currently with rodg12. Anyone know of others interested? Of our 14 last year we have everyone but @rockaction who has currently bowed out and @dunfee555 who looks like he hasn't been here since last December. I sent him a PM just in case.

Who wants to play for the Shiny Cup??

I heard back from @dunfee555 and he said things have just been too hectic ...so to get to 14 we're looking for 2 people!!

 

[kupcho1]

Why 14? 12 seems like the optimal number

 

[rockaction]

Dude, far be it from me to say anything but 12 seems right.

 

[Corporation]

Why 14? 12 seems like the optimal number

It was just because that was how many we had interested last time. I'll adjust it when the list is finalized.

 

[Corporation]

OK everyone, I'm really sorry for the delay. Had a terrible event at work plus moving my son cross country for grad school. I'm going to do one last check for people to sign up and then we will get started.

That is 11. @Nathan R. Jessep you would be 12 if we could twist your arm. No worries at all if you are too busy. @rockaction you of course are always welcome bud but you sounded more firmly out.

If anyone else would like to join to get to a round 12, we will crank it up. Thanks all, start date to be announced soon!

FYI, I'm now Serious Business™
I had to use another team name in Yahoo! if I have any chance of keeping two teams straight. I haven't been in 2 leagues in probably 30+ years

Yes, my ploy worked! Welcome back Colonel!

 

[Corporation]

Starting up a new thread. Let's set the draft kickoff at 8AM EDT on Wednesday to make sure everyone sees the start date. Slow draft (which has actually been kind of quick the last few years) via the board. We'll give a little more time on the front end and rush a little more on the rear end.

Speaking of rear ends, I'm getting a colonoscopy on Friday so I will be out of pocket Just a little advance warning.
