    Z, espn remembers you have a team from last year and automatically assumes you will have a team this year. The commish will have to go in and remove those who will not play and then add the new guys. So you are ok for right now.

    zeebra:
    just signed in and already shows i have a team? is this correct or do we have our own draft? I've never done the espn one before. thanks!
    It's showing you as having a roster since you're basically taking over Troy's team from last year. You can go in and change your team name if you want. The roster will be wiped clean when we draft since we don't have any keepers.

    ok cool, I was about to drop all the players but one...lol

    On the entry, I really dont mind the ccom gift card, but honestly they dont have all the cigars IMO. I would like to vote for cash of $20-$25 and a 5 pack of cigars, or something of that nature...

    Cant wait now, gives me an excuse to go sit outside on my laptop and have a smoke while talking *** with you all for 2 hrs...

    is the draft order gonna be based on last years standings???
  • BombayBombay Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,207
    Kid, I think last year when you sign in to the draft it randomizes your draft spot. If I remember correctly.

    Correct... once we get the members set, we'll pick a date for the live draft... on the selected date, the ESPN draft system will randomize the order when they open the draft room which is about 30 minutes before the draft starts

    So here is how it's shaping up so far,

    CONFIRMED MANAGERS:
    1. Commish - robbyras aka "The Nut Sackers"
    2. Vice Commish - skweekz aka "Grundle Taints"
    3. Bombay
    4. KenLight
    5. Vulchor aka "Vulchor's Villans"
    6. beatnic aka "Existentialists"
    7. RCY Cigars aka "Heavy Hitterz"
    8. lilwing88 aka "Chicago Crackheads"
    9. The Kid aka "Team Raptor"
    10. The Sniper
    11. Zeebra
    Alternate List:
    1. bigfnsteve
    2. Scarlin
    3. Lift603
    4. robertgreen30
    5. duckshooter

    No reply was received from gaberox, Ripp, surfingzeeko, RaschNuts or D-Rob so the remaining guys on the alternate list will be in, pending approval from the other managers. We'll have to finalize the list of managers in the next couple of days, then coordinate with Robby about getting him the entry fee. From there, we'll pick a draft day.

    looks like we have this wrapped up.. I'll get a final post up later today... once I track down emails from the new guys, I'll get the league updated and we can settle on a draft day.

    First off, thanks to Skweekz for taking car of this while I was away... very much appreciated..

    So it looks like we lost 5 guys and are adding 5 guys... 16 teams again... If you were in last year, the ESPN log in info should still be good. If you're new, I need an email address to send the invite to... I'll get PM's out today... looks like we're sticking with $25 buy in and Ccom Gift Certs to the winners...

    here is the league breakdown... if something is wrong, let me know...

    is it one league or two? if its one, holy mother of stogies thats alot for fantasy. or will there be 2, 8 team leagues?
  • robbyrasrobbyras Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,487
    It's one league... at least it was last year... we had 16 teams and an 8 team playoff... it wasn't a problem, you just have to make sure you know who EVERY player is... chances are the 3rd WR in St. Louis will have an impact in this league
  • BombayBombay Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,207
    People better get one of those fantasy draft magazines for the 3rd WR and RB alone...Ha! I think this also allows you to avoid people mailing it in as there are so many guys that everyone has a shot.
  • buckeyecigarbuckeyecigar Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 500
    Is it cool to see if people who didnt get in the league wanted to start another league, even if it is 8 teams?

  • beatnicbeatnic Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,133
    The roster cutdown dates are 80 on 8/28 and 53 on 9/2. Don't wanna do it too soon.

    I can't do that Sunday... let's try for the 1st I don't think the final rosters will have much of an impact on us... I know we have 16 teams, but we should be good
  • zeebrazeebra Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 3,166
    just not during the day please. night time, around 8-9pm??
  • BombayBombay Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,207
    I would think Saturday night may be a bit tough as we are scattered around the US. I am partial to Saturday morning for the west coaster btu will go with the group.
  • robbyrasrobbyras Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,487
    maybe a weeknight is better... Thursday 8/30... 6PM Pacific?

    plug: that is one day after Jon Huber of Crowned Heads appears on CigarChat... just sayin...
