I hear ya Instinctive, but it's not updated yet, so you aren't officially "IN" yet. JK, good luck with your "AT LARGE" invite. This is my first year in this contest and I'm looking forward to see if I can hold my own....LOL.Rody

Might've but alas I'm behind in my prep. Hope to see you in a round 2 league ETA Egads just realized that's a different Steeler fan than the Steeler fan that originally posted about league #2. Heh, I'm behind but I'll be ready by Wednesday. Should be a fun one.

Looks like we're still one player short for tonight, judging from the league site.

I second that. Just updated my email address. I draft in League 5 on Monday.

 

[bshipper]

Are the draft orders going to be published here, for those of us that cannot access MFL during the day? I am anxious to know my spot for tomorrow night.

I'm looking for the same thing. It's pretty cool to get invited after only being an active poster here since around the start of summer. I think the toughest part for me will be adjusting draft strategy to the league formats.

Clayton,Are going to go ahead and open them all? It would be great to be able to do some draft prep based on draft slot.

I was preparing for a few days now without the benefit of the league being active on MFL and not knowing my draft slot until the morning of the draft. I really don't see why League 4 gets a full day two full extra days of being able to run mocks based on their draft position when the first 3 leagues could not.I would prefer that no more leagues become active until the morning of each league's draft. Seems unfair to the first 3 leagues to do otherwise.

Rody

ETA: realized league 4 doesn't draft until Sunday night, so those boys really are getting some serious mock time to prepare.

Shouldn't matter - each league is self contained AND the inability of the rest of the league to prepare (as well as yourself) could help you. There are two schools of thought.

Agreed, but in the end we are playing everyone involved for the King of the Ultimate Survivor mountain, so other drafts (and participants) will be getting a slight advantage over the participants in the first 3 drafts. Just voicing my opinion, obviously FBG can do whatever they want and I'll accept it.

Actually, as I think about it, I am pro NOT opening up the leagues so I agree with your request - because I think it will be easier to draft a team that will outperform this way. But if the leagues do open up - I want to know about it. That was the point in my original post.

Doesn't matter Rody. You're only competing against the guys in your draft for the first leg. 1 hour or 1 week makes no differance as long as everybody in YOUR league has same heads up.ETA: In later legs...you'll be re-seeded/redrafting. There is NO ADVANTAGE for later drafters on this basis. (One could argue they have other advantages inherant in more TC info and better ADP info, but said advantage is for their draft only and has no effect on the early guys.)

The following will apply to all drafts:

- Drafts will be conducted on MyFantasyLeague.com.

- Drafts will be 22 rounds

- Draft position will be random

- There are no positional restrictions during the draft.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I have a schedule problem that came up today and cannot figure a way to solve it. I'm in league 9 drafting Saturday the 15th at 6:30 eastern. I won't be able to draft then, Friday or Sunday, so league 10ers cannot help. I can draft Monday through Thursday this week, and Monday or Tuesday next week. So if anyone in leagues 5-8 or 11-12, would like to draft on the weekend in league 9, please help a brother out. Sorry and hopefully, thanks.

[PatrickT]

Also, can someone tell me the diff between best ball and survivor, please? TIA

Best Ball = you compete against all other teams each week. So, if you finish with the highest point total, you will go 11-0. Team with the lowest point total will go 0-11. At the end of week 5, top 4 teams based on cumulative win/loss records will advance.Survivor = teams with lowest point total get eliminated each week. The number of teams eliminated each week are listed in the first post (lowest 2 in week 1, lowest 1 in week 2, lowest 2 in week 3, etc.). 4 teams that survive through week 5 advance to Leg 2.This was also mentioned in the first post:

The Survivor leagues will vote off 2,1,2,1,2 in their five weeks (to get to 4 teams). Best ball will be cumulative record against the other teams.

Thanks, I had seen that line, but it didn't really make it clear to me from a best ball perspective. Appreciate the clarification.
