It's ALIVE!!!! You should have gotten a reminder email (check your spam). Join early so we can flush out what we need to do (i.e. other leagues, more teams in this league, divisions in this league, etc etc).

If there's room, I'd love to play.

Not sure if we had an Unknown last year. We went 16 teams in the Premiership last year. I am willing to go up to 20 with divisions. PM me your email address if you want an invite. If we end up with 28 we can go 2 leagues

Pretty sure I didn't play last year, but I am up for it again this year as I probably won't be playing with my former work mates.

I suppose the premiership would take promotions from Nationwide to fill any openings, and newbies would jump in, there. Right?

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:25 am

Final standings from the unknown league was something I did not get. Also last year we had a problem getting the right teams in the right leagues.

I'll defend my title. I won, right?

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:40 am

Actually - ignore my previous post - I think I squeaked it out in the end.

I have no idea what division I was in last year, possibly did not play due to the draft time being so early UK time...

I would really like to play, so send me an invite please.

I suck at fantasy football, so I know I'm not in the Premier League. Who are the commishes for the lower levels? And, for that matter, where am I?

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 3:10 pm

I'd like to be in the Premiership, but gladly be relegated if need be, though newbies start at the bottom right?

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 3:20 pm

I am booting out from last year this list as they have not signed up and have been sent 4 reminder emails and a few PMs. I heart Pancakes (Denis L.),The Syborgs, and Gianni Schichi to make room for Rush, L-Jam and Tom 1860. Assuming they sign up today (as will Trav)..That will lock and load 20 teams in the premiership.

I will start a waiting list on this thread. If we get to 28 teams (confirmed signed up plus wait list), we will split to 2 leagues again. (Premiership & *Unknown)

Whoa, was this a thing last year? Not for nothing, but wouldn't smaller leagues where your odds are a little favorable and relegation actually exists be a little more, I don't know, fun?

Year 2 was a 20 team league. It was actually pretty enjoyable. Tough but enjoyable. We split into 3 leagues after that. With the great swamp exodus we have had a hard time keeping it going. Last year the league was 18 teams. If we can get to 28 that gives us 2 14 team leagues which is perfect. But I would rather have more people in a bigger league than someone who wants to play who can't find a league here.

Yahoo!---The one you are already signed up for

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 7:06 am

We are officially at capacity. 20 teams.

Here is the wait list. If we can get 8 folks to pop on the wait list we will split to 2 14-team leagues (I will do my best to promote/relegate per last year's performance).

Add your name/friend's names to the WAIT LIST

I just checked to make sure I didn't miss the draft. I didn't.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 1:31 pm

I believe I am co-managing my team with LJAM (assuming the Yahoo functionality works)

Post by **Sabo** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 1:32 pm

If anyone wants to take my team's spot, it's available. I don't think I'll be available for the draft and I don't feel like pre-ranking players.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 1:40 pm

Yes, I went through the process of linking up with WLU's team. I'd take over Sabo, but I'm not certain if I'd be fully available for the draft as per AEM's schedule.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 1:43 pm

It is totally stinky for everyone. We have folks drafting across at least 4 time zones. Hard to be friendly to both West coast and Wales folks at the same time.

Maybe sabo will let you co-manage?

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 9:07 am

I can't make that Saturday at 6pm draft time.

Does anyone want my spot if we are keeping with a 43 team league? I rather someone who wants to play take it and enjoy it than for me to halfass my way through an autodrafted season.

Any shot at moving waiver claim processing to Wednesday since the NFL has decided to play a bunch of Thursday night games? Just a thought...

Waiver window is Game time until Tuesday. Are you talking about players who get waived that you want to claim?

I think he is, wlu. Because those guys' waiver date is Friday.

I'm currently showing everyone on waivers and my claim won't process will Friday. While it would be OK for this week, could be a problem if the guy you are trying to claim is playing the Thurs night game.

I can release individual players for this week or change the rules of the league. My preference is to play it as it lies as it only impacts Week 1. Can't be for everyone as a number of transactions have taken place in our league.
