Just let me know if I can be in one at Yahoo! or not. I'll forget about the ESPN one like I did last year.

I know I pretty much never post anymore, but glad to be back. I would not be adverse to a draft date change since the 29th doesn't work for me either, but I'll set up for auto draft if it stays. Never been in a 20-team league before. Should be interesting.

The 20 team league is tough. Low scoring and byes are brutal. For those who want some history..the 20 team leagues was done in 2005 and was the 2nd year of Swamp Fantasy Football on Yahoo (the History is why I fight to keep the league on Yahoo)

We should address this. That looks about as much fun as a root canal.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 3:12 pm

WEll we do have another league available. We could move the newcomers into the Unknown.

Seems like the logical way to go.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 4:43 pm

If someone else feels like organizing it and hurding folks into the right leagues, I will do what is asked. But based on the effort to get people to signup for the league (notice when I started this thread), I think we suck it up for this year and then reorganize for 2015/16.

Plus if you win in a 20 team league, you show you have some real Fantasy Football skill. Any punk can win an 8 person or 10 person league. 14 is pretty good, but 20 is down right something to be proud of.

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 1:06 pm

Tommy's Triple Ts will accept that accolade, while also pointing out that I got into the playoff in the last spot and that would pretty much be the argument against a 20 man league.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 1:09 pm

Well anyone that doesn't want to be in a 20 team league or feels that they shouldn't be in the premiership send me a PM with an email addy and I'll send out an invite.

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 1:10 pm

Does unknown have teams that want to play or is it just full of teams that have abandoned the board post swampocalypse #42. Just wondering about some sort of purge process so we don't have teams without weekly rosters.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 1:23 pm

I'll join wherever. Didn't play last year and was in Nationwide in 2012. No interest in any league larger than 12 teams.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 1:25 pm

I won this division last year with Real Sociopaths, so I have moved up to the Premiership

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:11 am

We need one in or one out in the Premiership. We currently have an odd number of teams. If I don't have the right numbers I will have to drop someone, which I don't want to do.

Post by **Sabo** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:16 am

I'll drop. Don't think I can make the draft tomorrow night anyway.

Post by **Sabo** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:20 am

Wlu_lax, please delete my team from the league. I can't find a link or anything that will remove my team voluntarily.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:22 am

As for draft time how about Monday evening Eastern? 6ish

Okay, screw it. I'll take the premiership. I've been in the swamp leagues since 05. First time in the Premiership, baby!

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 9:34 am

I'm not going to make the draft, feel free to take me out of the league if there is an odd number. I am without a computer, so I didn't get to set draft queue. Auto draft should be interesting.

I'm flying this afternoon/evening. Flight lands during draft.

You are now down to 20 teams. I opted out.

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 1:04 pm

Damn I feel like this proud tradition is going down in flames.

perhaps we have not given enough credit to the wulaxi and zumbazes of the world, but we used to have this thing ripping at 4 leagues a year, now we've got one big porker league drafting on the friday of a holiday weekend and a second maybe will maybe won't league.

/sad useless bitchy post

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 1:11 pm

If HDO does not resignup we are down to 19 teams....Need an even number to draft. Postponing draft to Monday night so we can get this worked out.

Reaper · Post by **Reaper** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 2:15 pm

So who's supposed to join, HDO or ljam?

Oh, and I'll probably be there for the draft now. Should be winding down the weekend by then.

first come first serve. I am offering up my team for co-ownership if we have someone who feels left out.

Tom 1860 · Post by **Tom 1860** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 2:54 pm

Why did we change the time on the draft? If someone cannot make it tonight, at least spare a thought for the guy who is living 5 hours ahead of the East coast and is drafting after midnight in a 20 team league which could last a few hours...

I looked at the draft yesterday and we were still good to go tonight and now it has moved!

Annoyed in England

Tom 1860 · Post by **Tom 1860** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 2:56 pm

and also, I go to work at 6.30am UK time, so Monday night, midnight to 3am is fairly unhelpful...

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 4:43 pm

Are there rules anywhere?

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 5:52 pm

Oh, jeez. That changes things for the Labor Day holiday a bit. I'll see if I can swing that. I wish we had never opened up the Premiership to more teams. We were all set and ready to go...

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 6:36 pm

Can't draft with an odd number of teams. Sorry to the guys on the other side of the pond.

Hang on, it is now an hour later, on a different day... I have set my rankings up without a Kicker or a Defense.

Auto-pilot won't make me pick a kicker or a defense with my 8th and 9th round picks will it?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:40 am

HDO can take the last spot in the Premiership, but I'll fill in if he can't. If no in the premiership, is there a spot open in Unknown? When is that draft?

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 1:31 pm

You can take my spot, ljam. Still probably won't have a chance to log on today.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 7:32 pm

I had been scanning this thread from my phone, missed the change in draft time. I am so confused now. When is the draft, am I needed, and what are the league rules?
