I'm assuming I didn't have the correct email address. Shoot me an email as I'm about ready to do a T-shirt mailing for the Hoops Tourney winners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigfans13 0 Posted April 18, 2008 Is there an option to set up this type of Contest for a 'group'? I run a FF league, and we use the NFL Draft as an off-season challenge with rewards for the top 5 finishers. Last year, we used ESPN, but it doesn't appear that they will be setting that up this year so I'm out in the cold. I need to create a "group" and send invites to the guys in my league to input their picks... someplace where they will all be able to track the picks and their progress during the draft. As of right now - I'm using an Excel spreadsheet to track them all. ugh. Any help? If not, no biggie. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is purely set up just for the FFT community as one big group Also the contest may not (probably will not) be updated while the NFL draft is going on. You could get your buddies to sign up, tell you their usernames and still use this contest for your group pool. Maybe it is something we can think about in the future adding group and invite features. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike MacGregor 20 Posted April 25, 2008 In what should have been the toughest #1 overall pick in a few years turns out to be the easiest. Any regulars who don't get 10 points on the first pick should be mocked in a pinned thread all next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remote controller 133 Posted April 26, 2008 I bet there was a flood of activity to change picks, after the news started to come out of the first 4 picks. I wasn't smart enough to think about it, but next year I hope we move the deadline back aways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't smart enough to think about it, but next year I hope we move the deadline back aways. My draft already had the reported first 4 picks, but I would guess there was a good amount of activity. And I'd also like to see a closer deadline, maybe even 5 minutes prior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't smart enough to think about it, but next year I hope we move the deadline back aways. That's why we moved it back to 2:30 this year! We keep moving it back, and the NFL draft news starts filtering out earlier and earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd also like to see a closer deadline, maybe even 5 minutes prior. You want the deadline closer to the start of the draft? It used to be 5 minutes or even right at the start of the draft, but we moved it back to remove some of the last minute changes when news breaks. After the Mario Williams-Reggie Bush year we felt a move back to half an hour was warranted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clash of the Titans 1 Posted April 26, 2008 well in all honesty i can't believe the deadline is 30 minutes before the draft even starts- ahh what the heck...but whatever- it ain't my bag baby as austin powers sez..... i just wanted to drop by here since i haven't posted since football season....i'll probably resurface sometime in august....i dunno-lol dance fool dance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It used to be 5 minutes or even right at the start of the draft, but we moved it back to remove some of the last minute changes when news breaks. After the Mario Williams-Reggie Bush year we felt a move back to half an hour was warranted. Why not reward people who are on, following the draft news? It could also really help if there are any last minute trades, especially for the 2nd pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thoughts are to reward those who made the picks themselves and got it right. We'll all be here anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
