If everyone else wants to we can. I hate yahoo though. It reminds me of an old geocities website. Many more options that are more pleasant on the eyes.

I hate the idea of drafting people that might get hurt before the season starts. I guess no starters really play the last week, there are only 3 pre-season games now.  

[RogerDodger 798]

I think WW already restarted the league in Yahoo from last year, but don't care either way.

I still think we should slow draft here starting on Monday.  Why not?  Otherwise west coast and work it's better for me after 9pm EST. 

Any reason we can't have the draft order NOW, like yesterday?

Your QB is going to get a high ankle sprain week 1 anyway.  Probably turf toe too.

Damn, was just thinking the same thing and was about to bump.    

When and how much?

I just stepped aside figuring you and Lager had it under control with the various proposals and such... plus I had to focus on the FFToday IBL stuff. 

I had activated the Yahoo league for 2023 before Lager went and made an ESPN league. If we are using divisions it should be ESPN since Yahoo struggles with goofy tie break rules. If it's no divisions, might as well stick with yahoo and just let me know any changes I need to make to the scoring. 

 

I believe the majority vote was for $50... which is fine with me since i'm in like 12 leagues again.

 

We have some draft dates that don't work (personally, 8/26 and 9/6 do not work for me, anything else is fine)

[Bier Meister 1,696]

There has not been opposition to 8/31. 

 

Is 8/31 still a go?

[WhiteWonder 2,729]

8/31 has not had any objections yet.

 

We had some people wanting a slower draft in threads here and some people who don't want injuries to come into play. Unfortunately, can't have both. In order to do a slow draft we would really have to start ASAP with the shiit show we all know that would be. If injuries are a concern, I would suggest just sticking with a live draft in the ESPN or Yahoo draft room like we did last year. That was VERY smooth.

completely agree

[bostonlager 2,664]

I think the consensus was to do 3 four team divisions. 

[bostonlager 2,664]

We need ed to provide us with a draft order. 

Draft Type	Snake
Draft Date	Aug 31, 2023 @ 9:00 PM EDT
Seconds Per Pick	120
Draft Order	Manually Set by League Manager
Allow Draft Pick Trading	No

How does everyone want to decide who is in what division?

Randomizer?

[bostonlager 2,664]

Just now, Bier Meister said:

Randomizer?

I'm not familiar with it, but go ahead and plug everyone in and I can set accordingly once everyone has joined. 

[Bier Meister 1,696]

Or

1,4,7,10

2,5,8,11

3,6,9,12

which is random based on draft order

[Horseman 2,438]

Divisions are for poosays. 

And run the foking draft order already. Just use the same teams from last year, and if anyone drops out then their replacement takes thier draft spot too.
