Scaly Freak Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Come one, come all... it is time to play football! This kind: The league is open to anyone in the NF Rebellion who wants to join! Running the league together are my very own self, the Freak With Scales, and the noble Warrior @Grumble. Meaning, I have fun posting happy near-nonsense with pictures, (while calling it "outreach" and "PR") and he does all the actual work in the background that actually makes the league work. To get an invite, post here to let us know you want to be in the league, preferably by tagging one of us. Do not post your email address in this thread! One of your friendly neighborhood commissioners will reach out to you and make sure you get a league invite. We need a minimum of eight to get a league going, and we have about three weeks to get organized, draft, and set our lineups. We're on Yahoo Fantasy, which is completely free whether you have an account or not. Draft details, scoring system, roster rules, etc, will all be posted once we know we have enough people to start a league, and the draft draws nearer. And no, your team cannot be the Sons of Slytherin. That name is taken! Quote The Great Reading Thread of 2024 “I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.

Scaly Freak Posted August 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 So there's four or us so far, and that's not nearly enough to have a good league. We need at least eight. So if each one of us invites one person, we can still have a league! I've got my person lined up and ready to go... So @Grumble, @GodzillaKong, @Murphy's Roommate, if you can all recruit one person each, we can draft this weekend!

Grumble Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Draft is currently at 7:30 AM PST. It will be a live snake style draft. For those that don't know, it starts from position 1-8 then 8-1 and so on. I'm setting the draft order at random so there everybody gets a chance to be first. 1 Quote "You're going to be amazing."

GodzillaKong Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'll see if I can find anyone. Know a few people who might be interested, but depends if they want to take on another league. Quote Link to comment
Scaly Freak Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Considering the draft is pretty early in the morning for those of us who live on the Western side of the US, I suggest we seat a deadline of some kind, say, on Friday morning. I'm not particularly interested in a league with less than eight teams, and I am even less interested in getting out of bed stupid early on my day off if I don't have a draft to attend. 1 Quote The Great Reading Thread of 2024 “I've always believed that failure is non-existent.

Murphy's Roommate Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Doh - the draft timing will be tricky - I am in Korea. I was hoping for so form of auto-populate or randomizer. Not sure I can recruit anybody, is it still a thing? - Murphy's Roommate Quote Link to comment
RubiksCat Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I was considering joining but the draft starts at 9:30 am in my time zone and I'll be at work. If you still don't have enough members then I still might consider it even if my line up is auto generated. Quote Link to comment

Scaly Freak Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Looks like the four teams that were already signed up were put through an auto-draft. Obviously we would need to flush those rosters and start over, but I'm willing to give this a chance if everyone else is. @Grumble, thoughts?

Grumble Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I haven't forgotten, just got busy! League is reset. I've also sent links to @Rubik'sCat and @JesseK. We can draft as soon as we have a majority time. yes, we're a week behind, no I don't care, yes it gives us a better idea of who to draft. What works for everyone? I can draft at work, so 0600-1500 Pacific time tomorrow is good. @scalyfreak, @GodzillaKong, and @Murphy's Roommate, what say you? Quote "You're going to be amazing."
