any interest in starting up a ftr fantasy football league?

[Phantaroth]

For $ or For fun?

I'd be in for either.

[dthorne04]

For fun.

Edit: Although I don't think I'd mind if we did something where like everyone pitched in like $10-$20 on PokerStars or something, and if we get 10/12 teams doing like an 80/20 split between 1st/2nd, or even Winner take all.

THIS.

I'm always game for Fantasy football... but I'd rather play for SOME amount of money. Even if it's relatively small (e.g. $20 or something)

[Ragnar4]

I'm in for fun. Or like 10-20 bucks.

[swiggidy]

fantasy football is teh ghey

/shows himself out

[bigspenda73]

I'll do a fun league but I'm sure we'll get a $ league going too which I'm def. down for.

[dthorne04]

i'm gonna start a league now, we can figure out what we're doing with it after. i want to shoot for 10 teams.

[will641]

i would do it but it would be impossible to do it but its not really good with more than 12 teams.

[PapalRage]

12 is a really good number. i'd say espn is better than yahoo because you can get live stat updates without paying for it.

[GatorJH]

you can also get live updates with CBS Sportsline. I have used that one for years and love it (although it isn't free to register a team)

[WildBobAA]

12 is a really good number. i'd say espn is better than yahoo because you can get live stat updates without paying for it.

this

[WildBobAA]

Some of yahoo's scoring might be suspect also.

In one of my fantasy baseball leagues on yahoo this week for the batting average category, my team was 29/104 which is about .278846 and my opponent went 24/86 which is about .279070 but it rounded both to .279 and called it a tie.

I've had similar situations on espn where ERA's for both teams are the same after two decimals but where espn gave the win to the correct team.

[pankfish]

I want a league with standard scoring. 6 points for a td, 1 point for 10 yards rushing and receiving, whatever is standard for passing. I also don't want to play in a league where you get 5 receivers or some shit. I also don't want to pick individual defensive players, just one teams defense.

Can you make this happen? I also like to gamble so if anyone is starting a separate money league let me know.

K thnx

[dthorne04]

with yahoo, we can do custom scoring of course, but if you guys truly don't want to do yahoo, we can do espn or cbs or w/e, but i'm not familiar with anything else really, other than yahoo. thoughts, gents?

[WildBobAA]

you can do custom scoring on espn too

[dthorne04]

you can do custom scoring on espn too

i knew as much. :P however, i was just stating that for those worried about scoring issues on yahoo. however, i'll check out espn tonight/tomorrow.

[WildBobAA]

well not just the scoring issues but with ESPN you get free live scoring while you have to pay $10 to get it in yahoo

[WildBobAA]

why isn't this made yet? gosh I'll make one now, we can decided on a live draft time later (maybe on some sunday afternoon before or after the gauntlet)

This one will be for fun/bragging rights if people want to do a money league they can make one too.

[WildBobAA]

ok, I made an ESPN league, PM me your email and I'll send you an invite

(it has the default espn scoring settings now but I can edit something later if we want to change it. also the default number of team is 10 which i think is the best number but if 12 people want in I can add teams also)

[dthorne04]

sweet! bob saved me the work. pm'ing you now.

[WildBobAA]

pank, dthrone, spenda allhave been sent invites

pm me your emails pplz

[bigspenda73]

how do we change our team name ?

[WildBobAA]

how do we change our team name ?

Go to your team page, top of page it says "edit team settings"

[pankfish]

You have to accept the invitation at the bottom of the page Bob linked you to.

[WildBobAA]

Yeah, spenda you haven't joined yet

[WildBobAA]

ok now you're in

[bigspenda73]

yea I thought clicking the initial link was enough, it wasn't.

[WildBobAA]

We have 7 people who have joined the league and Massimo, kingnat, will, and Ragnar should check their email for invites. That means we have 11 people so there is only 1 more spot open. We still have yet to decide whether or not this will be a money league, we can talk about that on the league page or in this thread.

[pankfish]

I'm good with anything $100 and below.

[PapalRage]

im good with anything 40 and below. im a nit, i know.

[Ragnar4]

lol. nit? 20 and below? can I play and not put in money or is it too late?

[WildBobAA]

I was thinking like $10-$20

[WildBobAA]

there's still one spot left in the league!

Also, I think we're gonna go w/ $20. The draft is tentatively set for Sunday, August 3rd at like 1pm EST

[WildBobAA]

Ok, Triptanes' friend IRL is gonna play so we are full up.

[lolzzz_321]

lol I don't have irl friends

[WildBobAA]

Alright guys, I think we are gonna go ahead with having the draft this Sunday, August 3 at 1pm EST. I know it's early but it seems like it's the best time for everyone. Also, the league will be for $20. Finally, kingnat has not joined the league yet and has not replied to my PMs. If he doesn't join, then the draft won't run since our league wouldn't be full. If anyone knows someone that would be available on Sunday and also would be willing to play for $20, then let me know ASAP and we can replace kingnat.

[WildBobAA]

You guys should thank me, I got FTR celebrity gabe to replace kingnat.

[dthorne04]

!

[GatorJH]

well I may as well just ship the $20. I can't make the draft on Sunday so I will prolly end up with 3 Def's, 8 TE's and no QB or RB

[bigspenda73]

well I may as well just ship the $20. I can't make the draft on Sunday so I will prolly end up with 3 Def's, 8 TE's and no QB or RB

Well then we need to change the date or find someone to replace you

either way we should be able to work out when everyone that can play can be available for the draft.

You could also pay someone on FTR $20 to draft for you or something like that.

[dthorne04]

who am i shipping fundage to?

[GatorJH]

It's jsut $20, I'll figure something out. Count me in.

[lolzzz_321]

[givememyleg]

For those among us interested in the 3rd annual FTR pick'em league - http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ps-t74215.html

$30 buy-in

[GatorJH]

I will ship the monies this weekend and will either make the draft or will have my rankings set for at least the first 4-5 rounds.

[WildBobAA]

Draft is tomorrow, don't forget ppl.

[pankfish]

Just saw that we were playing for money. I'll send it to you tomorrow morning.

[Ragnar4]

all your draft pick are belong to me!

[lolzzz_321]

bob plz call me if i am not talking to u on aim like 15 min before the draft

[bigspenda73]

Trip please call me if I'm not on AIM, my sleep schedule is all messed up.

[PapalRage]

i really hope my family doesnt own me and stop me from drafting.

[pankfish]

everyone should make sure they run the test draft to make sure they are going to be able to get into the room.

[WildBobAA]

pankfish, I got your cash but what team are you?

[pankfish]

lolwadephillipaments

[WildBobAA]

The draft order just got set (ESPN does it automatically 1 hr before draft time). I got the 6th pick...meh. If you guys have problems w/ java or it seems like your draft is lagging, use the "lite draft application" instead.

[WildBobAA]

me and dthorne are chillin' in the draft lobby

[kingnat]

fuck me to tears.... i hate my life. (sans ftr ffb.)

[a500lbgorilla]
