Eight of the nine entrants have voted so I've set the draft up for Monday 27th of August at 10pm.

I've deleted all the teams who didn't change their name on the site.

Rolling with 9 teams? If you are stuck I can get you a 10th team.

If you have somebody fire ahead and I'll invite him. It would mean 5 in each division.

Any ideas when the draft date for this is going to be?

adrian522

Monday 27th of August at 10pm. 2 posts above yours.

Onecoolcookie

Haha cheers, don't know how I missed that!

adrian522

At present there are 2 divisions, one with 6 teams and the other with 4. I assume we will just have 2 divisions of 5 teams?

adrian522

Barkley, Matt QB USC
Fajardo, Cody QB NEVADA

Nwoke, Chris RB COLOST
Williams, Kerwynn RB UTAHST
Carey, Ka'Deem RB ARIZ

Seferian-Jenkins, Austin TE WASH

Alleman, Drew K LSU

Georgia DST

Spongey1975

Along with Guappas tactics i've only heard of Lacy, Lattimore & Braxton Miller so i picked close to the top of the rankings. I even picked Da'rick Rogers who looked like a great WR down in the bottom of the 11th round (i saw the word eligible in his notes and said i'll have that ). Jamarcus kindly pointed out that his new school Tennessee Tech is FCS level and not eligible for this league. Damn :mad:

Piland, David QB HOU
Lacy, Eddie RB BAMA
Lattimore, Marcus RB SC
Patton, Quinton WR LATECH
Reedy, Bernard WR TOLEDO
Surgent, Darryl WR LALAF
Doyle, Jack TE WKY
Hopkins, Dustin K FSU
Michigan State DST
Miller, Braxton QB OHIOST
Houston, Stephen RB IND
Samuel, Anthon RB BGREEN
Nwachukwu, Uzoma WR TXAM
Rogers, Da'Rick WR TENN

davetherave

Completely forgot about this. Sorry if I held things up
I see I got Keenan Allen again this year though, no RG3 though. :pac:

I had Marcus Lattimore last year, he did great things until he buggered his knee up.

CoachTO

My team is bad so im not posting up. Never again will I run a NFL and College draft side by side. Whatever about 2 NFL drafts me mind was fried trying to go between the 2 that and CBS draft thing is so basic and poor.

Spongey1975

The site is saying waivers have not yet started. Can we not add people before the games this week or do we have to wait until next week?

davetherave

Was wondering that myself. Went to take somebody on and it said waivers weren't set up yet.

adrian522

Just noticed the texas A&M game is postponed due to Hurricane Issac. I'd take another look at your lineup if you have any of those guys on your team, other games may be postponed too.

EDIT: Oregon state game is also postponed.

eagle eye

I've changed that to Friday night now. Waivers are up and running.

of course I checked my lineup and missed the fact I have Texas A&M Defense :cool:

Have 2 receivers in that game so now will be a receiver short this week, was sure waivers would be processed today but it turns out to be the 5th Sep instead. At least a good game from Marcus Lattimore has eased my pain

davetherave

Anyone know why there are a few DST scores that haven't been updated.
I think I'm due [if my calculations are correct]42 points from the Florida State DST but there is nothing shown?

adrian522

I guess it will update once the gameweek finishes after tonights game.

JaMarcus Hustle

Doubt you'll get 42 points. They were playing Murray State - points are usually downgraded when it's against non-FBS teams.

15% is the default. So if its at the default it will be 36 give or take

davetherave

Stat......Value......Points
PA...........3.........10
Int...........1............2
SACK........5..........5
YDS........171........8
(Weak Opponent 75%) 18.75

Haven't been credited with a punt return for TD and they've only got 5 instead of 6 sacks. Should be two fumble recoveries also.

Ah well, I'll just be hoping that Georgia Tech blowout the Virginia Tech Defence. :pac:

davetherave

Miss out on a tie by 0.5 points.
Another game had a difference of 1.5pts.

Could be a good league this year

CoachTO

I thought we got rid of every player being on Waivers from the first game on Wed to the following Tuesday? Realistically yet again we can only add players on Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday. Too many injuries and drops this week to be looking for players that early.

I can add Thursday to the waiver wire week if you want. Thats all I can do.

We need a majority of owners to agree to do this.

UCD AFC

I would be in favor of adding thursday...

davetherave

I would also be in favour of thursday waivers.



Starting QB was listed as questionable, bench QB was facing starting DST. Bearing in mind he was questionable, not out, I was working on the theory that if I sub him in and 2nd QB has a cracking game then DST would score poorly, or vice versa for the defence. Turns out he was out, and benched QB had a standout game. Only consolation is that I still wouldn't have beaten OhLookAnEagle.

Spongey1975

Comletely forgot about this poll, i'd be for extending waivers til thursday and the ability to add free agents up until that players game on saturday.

adrian522

If we include Thursday in the waivers does that mean that you can't add free agents until Friday and as such can't add anyone at all until the waiver period closes after Thursday, meaning you can't add anyone playing on a Thursday night?

Sorry, not really clear on what is being proposed.

Adding Thursday is fine by me too

Well there is 2 problems here. Free Agents are processed on Waiver days as well as Walk On/Free Agents but the problem here is right now ALL players go to waivers once the 1st game of the week happens rather than like most leagues only those dropped or in the middle of games join waivers and everyone else is a Walk On/Free Agent and can be picked up right until their game kicks off.

Walk Ons should be available until their respective games start rather than been off loaded to waivers once the first game starts on Tuesday or Wednesday as it happens right now.

If EE only adds Thursday to the list that just means we have an extra waiver day to be processed but ALL walk ons will still be locked to waivers also.

Add/Drop Deadline: ***Transactions will lock five minutes before the first game of the week.***
Add/Drop Policy: Add/drops are handled by a waivers process.
Waivers Run: The waivers process runs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Waiver Reset: The waiver order resets after each weeks' games.
Waiver Period: Dropped players remain on waivers for at least 3 day(s).

The bit in bold needs to be changed also to 5 mins before Saturday game to allow Walks on available until their game starts.

If EE then sets the The waiver days to M/T/W and now TH this will process waivers only. I.e players dropped by other teams or players locked out due to games already played the previous night etc etc.

adrian522

Thanks, if the above is how it will work I'll vote in favour also.

davetherave

What the hell does somebody have to do to win a game around here. I scored the third most points overall but I've only won two games??

davetherave

Are we going to do the same as last year, playoffs all the way down?

In which case it would be
Championship
Cowboys vs Oh Look An Eagle
Denluce vs Fighting Irish

Winners play for 1st and 2nd
Losers play for 3rd and 4th

5th Place Play-off
Horse Feathers vs A PaddyinSD
The Franchise vs SuperTroopers FC

Winners play for 5th and 6th place
Losers play for 7th and 8th

Wooden Spoon Award of Winningness
4thAndForever vs This is Sh!t

eagle eye

Set up those games.

We'll call them,

Boards.ie AF forum Championship Bowl

The Siege of Limerick Bowl for the 5th place playoff. Think Irish Alamo Bowl!

The Wooden Spoon of Winningness Bowl

davetherave

Dammit! Three wr on the bench are "injured". One "injured" knobjockey goes and gets 28 points...

eagle eye

All the games for the final week of our league are set up now. I'm playing the unstoppable Cowboys in the Championship game.

Unfortunately the Wooden Spoon of Winningness Bowl has turned into a bit of a damp squid with somebody acting very childish and putting up an illegal team for the first leg. Same person has put up a ridic name on his team too and all because we didn't get enough votes to change the waiver wire system or at least I think thats the reason.

10 players in the league and six (half + 1) said yay.


That siege of Limerick Bowl is mine Spongey! You're going down, not a touchdown or a first down, some other kind of non-scoring down
....Is that how the kids smacktalk these days?

Anyway meow that i know im playing for the Siege of Limerick Bowl im gonna have to kick Dave's ass all over the highways of Vermont....meow

You might notice the huge gap in time between the first couple of votes and the ones that put it over the top. I watched the thread for two weeks to see if people wanted it and it never happened. It was nearly 4 weeks later when the last 3 voted. And that was only a month ago, the league was nearly over at that stage.

Congrats to Cookie's Cowboys the 2012 Champions. It was never even close! He set a really high standard all year long and is a deserved winner.

Congrats also the the Siege of Limerick Bowl winner The Franchise and to the The Wooden Spoon of Winningness Bowl winner 4thandforever.

On a side note, I have chaned the waiver wire process to 5 mins before first Saturday game as voted on by the majority of the members. This will be in place for next season.

Thanks for organising this, fun to play even if I lose most weeks.

davetherave

Myself and Spongey were playing in the Siege of Limerick Bowl.
The first half of the bowl match-ups seem to have buggered up a bit
Based on the points scored though the two of us would have won our respective matchups in week 12.

5th Place Play-off
Horse Feathers(149) vs A PaddyinSD(117)
The Franchise(126) vs SuperTroopers FC(178)

Winners play for 5th and 6th place
Losers play for 7th and 8th

Based on that, the week 13 fixtures should have been.
2012 Championship Bowl:
Cowboys vs Fighting Irish

The "Get Some" Bowl of Hard Knocks (3rd Place)
Oh Look an Eagle vs Denluce Demons

Siege of Limerick Bowl (5th Place)
Horse Feathers vs SuperTroopers FC

The Lesser Prestigious Bowl (7th Place)
A PaddyinSD vs The Franchise.

Wooden Spoon Award of Winningness
4thAndForevervs This is Sh!t

Led the league in scoring in 4 weeks, 2nd in the season power rankings and don't even manage to get into championship bowl playoff. :pac:

Cheers EE really enjoyed that season and it was a nice bonus to end up winning! Thanks for all the work you put into organising it.

eagle eye

Just bumping this to see how many from last year are interested. Lots of time yet but I'd like have a poll in late July to see when is the best time.

If you were not in it last year and are interested put your name up and I'll put you on a list of alternates, whoever posts first is top of the alternates list.

smackbunnybaby

I'd like to register my interest in 'The Alternatives List'

adrian522

I'll give this a miss this year I think, I was in far too many leagues last year and I don't have the time to devote to watching that much college ball, other than whatever is on ESPN.

Thanks to EE for organising, I'm sure you'll get enough for a full league again.

TO.

I'm out also. Have to cut down the amount of fantasy this year as Aug/Sept/Oct is going to be nutso for me.

davetherave

Thanks EE, I'm back in for this season.
