no worries--we can take you either waywe'll have a person on standby to make it an even number of teams, if say 11 show...if we're at an even number, he'll not play--no problemUruk-Hai said:
If it is acceptable to everyone else for nittanylion to draft a team, I'm more than willing to manage the team after the draft is completed. I'd participate in the draft myself but will be out of town and not returning until the evening of the 17th.Jim
This is fine by me as long as nittany and ravnz agree.
We have our 12 plus we have roadkill at the auction, just in case. Road, I'd just load them into the system in any order using the FBG names as only about half the league has chosen a team name. I've secured a projector and screen.It looks like we're going the best ball route (only two votes against). $200 auction cap with rosters of 18. Lineup: QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, FLEX (RB, WR, TE), D, and K. WCOFF scoring, including PPR. Blind bid free agency. FCFS pickups allowed after bidding period ends. Shall we do the .5, 1, 1.5 PPR system that ravnz uses or just stick to the standard 1 PPR?link to league website is in red abovenot sure why 1/2 the guys got them, but I've resent everyone who hasn't checked in another password...the roster of owners thus far:
Fear the Turtle
ravnzfan
Jeff Pasquino
Commuter Man
Rayderr
philly fan
Kenlin
foursport
Underdogs
Max Power
Goal-to-Go
roarlions (nittany at auction)
that's 11 solid, I'd like to get to 12 or 14...
anyone else?
Glad I'm in, thanks. Thanks to nittanylion for drafting my team, he and I have been in touch.All of the above sounds good to me. I'm in favor of the PPR system suggested by ravnz, but either is fine with me.
Good work here, FTT. As Jeff P noted, batting order for player nominations is pretty irrelevant.Beginning Sunday morning, I'll have limited innerweb access until Thursday evening but I'll be ready for this here auction on the 17th. Everybody work on getting some team names picked so I can plug them into the software.Fear The Turtle said:
have we counted icon "IN"?we can take up to 14
"Delineation" is as good a term as any to use and it's a problem my local league is rassling with as well as we contemplate increasing the number of players we are buying at auction this year. $200 works well with small auction day rosters of 12-14 but if we're buying 18, as has been suggested, I too would suggest an increase in the cap to $250-300.With only 12 of us buying 18, $250 should work pretty well and give some play in the dollar ranges at the lower end. With 14 of us, we may want to give some thought to an even bigger cap.
Sorry, on vacation. I am definitely up for boosting it to $250-300.
I think Icon just posted that in every thread...
Right, Icon wasn't serious. I got an email that foursport and Underdog are out. We're back down to 10 plus roadkill as backup. Looking for two more. I'm working on a couple. Anyone?
I'll be @ the Rt32/70 park-n-ride @11:30 Sundayif anyone plans on meeting me there, buzz my cell that morning---number is on league message board
We're definitely solid for tomorrow. We're scrambling to get another but no matter.
We'll take care of you, road. Thanks again for running the show. Rosters are up, by the way.Jeff Pasquino said:roadkill1292 said:I see no reason that we can't keep you as "commish" for the MFL site to say hi.
That would be way cool. Paul, again please express our thanks to your brother and SIL for hosting. Best site EVAH.Keep talking this league up so we can get 1-3 more guys next year.We'll take care of you, road. Thanks again for running the show.

Ditto what nittany said, I had a great time meeting everyone yesterday, and hopefully we can keep this league going for awhile. Good luck to everyone this year, except those teams playing the Fanatics!Rich
true 'dat!I want nitty AND roarlions "IN" next year, plus roadkill and a couple more, for 14Turtleman....hugs to SIL and :backslap: bro for having ustell him to work on that dimmer switch for the basement if he wants to host our event next year!
:X
There will be expansion next year, to at least 12 and hopefully 14, so remember us next year and we'll get you in.The auction only took about 4 hours with 10 teams drafting 18 players each with a $250 budget. The auction software makes everything so much easier.And yes, Roadkill = Larry Fine!
Larry Fine, maybe, after he devoured Curly and Moe.
It's all that good Cactus Willies food, isn't it?

Thanks - pm sent
Uruk, the software retains the entire auction, I can also shoot you an attachment very easily this evening. Just pm me your email.I've got most of the big boys jotted downPM your address and I'll send you a copy51 1/2 week "head start" on '09 prep!
Well I was an auction virgin, but I can see how it would be a huge improvement over a person as aucitoneer a nd trying to keep track of the bids being shouted out.My only criticism is that TTS (text-to-speech) software. I realize that it would add greatly to the program size, but having sound files of a generic voice over guy read off the name and just some way for the user to create his own sound files for the teams would be great.
I actually think that's possible but I'm not clever enough to figure out how to do it.
it's a big, PHat silly!
seriously, Jeff--the ability to sort thru rostered position, in order, having the running $$$ totals easily read and the like made for a smoothhh process
roady, I love the system, as you know. The only change I'm going to make for next year is to give myself a team name like "FTT Is A Handsome Stud" or something so I can hear the system repeat it several hundred times during the auction.
That's a grand idea but I still like "CRAPMAN" better.Thanks, too, Steve. I'll make sure the doggone thing pronounces your name better next year.
Which was the dummy here?it's a big, PHat silly!
the calm of the "systems voice" over any in that room full of dummies shouting "$16 for Chris Johnson"....
priceless!
