NAn 39 Posted June 12, 2006 Looks like folks are ready to get going today (Friday) and Mike has given us access. I suggest everyone check over there, read the 'Rules/Scoring' thread and LET'S JUST GET IT STARTED BOYS! Fumble, you're on the clock! Okay, heard from everyone but Grey Theory so here’s who were going with and this is actual draft order: 1.Fumbleweed 2.FantasyKing 3.Da Bomb 4.Nan 5.Danzone 6.Shane Falco 7.Erb047 8.Hellothere 9.Clash of the Titans 10.Remote Controller 11.V4E 12.Miller-Time JB (alternate...will have access for commentary, will take over should someone drop off) ShaneFalco, Erb047, JB Welcome Aboard! Be good to have some new blood in this thing. With that said a few things: *We do this to learn (and share that learning with the FFToday community) so we encourage commentary on your own and others picks. *At times we’ll even criticize each others picks…don’t take it personal and please don’t take it as picking on the ‘new guys’. You’ll see us ‘regulars’ are even harder on each other. *Show the same commitment for the later, end rounds as you do the earlier ones…interest can wane in the later rounds (hey, it’s ff nature), but it’s good to talk about value and sleepers at that pt. In other words, treat this as a real draft. *We do take this serious for the learning aspect but above all else…have fun! Deep down, that’s why we do it too. Rules, Scoring, Etc. *15 rounds, no kickers, no defenses *Starting line-up: 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE (7 total) *Bench: Any breakdown you choose (8 total) *Draft order: see above *Start date: Monday 6/19, unless June Mock finishes before Friday, then may start draft earlier 1pt per 10yds rush/rec 1pt per 25yds pass 6pt per rush/rec td 4pt per pass td 2pt per all 2pt conversions During day 2hr pick limit, unlimited at night/weekend…BUT with previous note of availability would really like to keep picks moving during day and have people check several times at night/weekend to keep things moving. No reason we shouldn’t get in 2-3 rounds a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-jb- 0 Posted June 14, 2006 what? I would also like to find out who is in my division. I plan on drafting WRs to match my opponents' QBs in order to cancel out the points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NAn 39 Posted June 14, 2006 nice try with the draft order boys. See opening post...updated to includ actual draft order. Just mixed up those who have been in recent mocks and plugged in the rest wherever. Problems? Deal with it. So says your SUPREME FUHNER EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!

FantasyKing 4 Posted June 14, 2006 Sweet - I'll take the #2 spot gladly, although I heartily protest that Fumble gets the the #1 pick. Fumble - I look forward to taking one guy you are targeting right before you pick every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-jb- 0 Posted June 14, 2006 because i have no team, i will be extra-rididulous. so far, all your teams are poo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NAn 39 Posted June 14, 2006 'Early Start' Discussion I'll ultimately just call it one way or another but wanted to get thoughts: June Mock is flying along and could be done by Friday or weekend. What do you guys think about starting around that time, but just leaving clock off and see what we can get in over the weekend. Then on Monday am we'll get going 'on clock'. My feeling is it be good to just get ball rolling (could get in couple rnds between Fri-Sun) but concerned commentary at outset will be thin. Thoughts?

remote controller 138 Posted June 14, 2006 Sounds great! Don't worry about the commentary. The first rounds are always wordy and this group will input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NAn 39 Posted June 14, 2006 Wow...this will be sweet after having to labor through the June Mock in the 12-hole........ That was the idea. Basically gave everyone who was recently in a mock (did one with me/bomb/miller) the polar opposite (or close to it) of where they were in the earlier mock. Not only to be 'fair' but to avoid cookie cutter drafts and avoid predicting picks to an extent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts? i dont see much of a point of starting right at the weekend. id be happy, since we're all here, to just start now and do like a round a day for the next few so that we're on about round 5 by monday when we really get rolling. otherwise just wait and do the whole thing next week. the first few rounds is the fun part and it would be a bummer to have that spaced out over a weekend imo. but im cool with whatever.

NAn 39 Posted June 14, 2006 June mock is already in rnd 12. If they're done/almost by tomorrow, ideally if ALL/MOST of us are around on Friday that we get a rnd or so in that day, and whatever over weekend. But, timing might be off, as not sure if Mike will be able to get us access by then. We'll see how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miller_Time_21 0 Posted June 15, 2006 I can start whenever. And NAn, like the different positions. I'm in another one right now and in the middle, so it will be a nice mix when done, top, mid, end, all 3 areas, we'll see how it ends up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clash of the Titans 1 Posted June 15, 2006 looks like will finish the june mock tonight or early tomorrow..there's no strategizing for the most part...everyone is likely taking a kicker or defense as we are at round 15 i would like to get started tomorrow and slow draft over the weekend...but that's just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remote controller 138 Posted June 15, 2006 NAn, Has the list of owners been emailed to Mike? Let's fire this thing off! I like the chance to draft from the 10 spot. I see the deadzone being pick four through 8 or 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
