Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
So, I've re-started the engine for the Swamp fantasy hockey league. Invitations were sent to last season's participants. If you'd like to join the league but weren't in it last season, let me know and we'll add you. I set the auction draft for Saturday, Sept 27, at 7:00 pm Eastern time. If people prefer something different, let me know - if enough people can agree on a different plan we will change it.
I know there was also another league last season - you guys should join this one!

Any interest in making this a keeper league?

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
I can't make draft (Ryan Bingham!), but that may be a good thing for me.

damn right i'm in!
Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
If someone could explain how this will work, I am very interested...
Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Tom, you assemble a team of forwards, defense and goalkeepers. Weekly head-to-head games, but counting the category wins rather than "game" wins. Our categories are goals, assists, plus/minus, shots on goal, face off wins, power play points, penalty minutes, goalie wins, goals-against average, goalie saves, shots against and save pct. You need to modify your starting lineup regularly.
We are planning an auction draft. Which means we all have the same bankroll with which to assemble a team. We take turns nominating players on which to bid. The draft program won't allow you to bid so much on any player as to prevent you from having enough money left to complete assembling your team.
Hope that helps. Join us! The current draft time would likely be problematic for you, but we could modify it.

So head to head on the categories and the player with the most category wins (out of 12) wins the weekly matchup?
What happens if you draw 6-6 in the categories?
There will be players that play more matches than others during a given week. Do all matches count toward category totals?
Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Not quite right. You can get up to 12 wins (or losses) each week. There will be players with more or fewer opportunities to score each week, but it evens out over time. If you want in, pm me your email address and I'll send you the Yahoo invitation.Tom 1860 wrote:This sounds interesting...sancarlos wrote:Tom, you assemble a team of forwards, defense and goalkeepers.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Just made it 11, need at least one more team right?
Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Degen, Rush, Giff and Tom are all possible additions, yet.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
I'm in a free fantasy hockey league, and I'm looking for free, relatively reliable 2014-2015 rankings. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Would you guys go Lundquist 1, Nash 2, St. Louis 3, McDonagh 4?
What do you use?
(Thanks)

I accepted invitation. Are we doing keepers? If so, I'll need to decide before I head to San Antonio this weekend.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
I am really sorry, but I am not going to be able to compete in this league and am going to withdrawn...

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Hoo boy. That puts us at an odd number of teams, which is a problem for head-to-head games. Yahoo won't let us draft unless we get a replacement for Tom right quick. Rush? C'mon! Join us!

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Hey I was waiting to see what payouts I'd get from other leagues. Guess SCK owes me a beer next time in the Bay Area.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Welcome, Rush. I'd be glad to. I'm pretty sure you know more than me about where to get top beers in the Bay Area.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
That Monk's Kettle or whatever that I emailed you about , The Trappist and Beer revolution in Oakland are fantastic.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
Buffalo Soldier just asked if we could move the draft from Saturday at 7ET to a different date. Yahoo isn't letting me reply, so I'm doing it here. I'm sympathetic, but I don't want to get into the circle we did in the fantasy football, where every time the draft date got moved, it pissed off somebody new. If we moved it to Sunday at 7ET, please advise if that would screw you up.
"What a bunch of pedantic pricks." - sybian
Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
I could do Sunday, but it probably would need to by 8 p.m. Eastern.
ETA: I also can't do tomorrow night.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
That would work for me and preferrable since I cannot make it tomorrow.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
I would also prefer something slightly later, but either night is ok with me. I pretty much sat out the first hour of the draft last time anyway, if I remember correctly.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
OK, given the input, I'm moving it to Sunday at 8:00 eastern time. Thanks, guys.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
The only start times available Sunday were 7:45 pm and earlier, or 9:30 pm and later, so I've set the start time at 7:45 pm.sancarlos wrote:OK, given the input, I'm moving it to Sunday at 8:00 eastern time. Thanks, guys.

Thanks, SCK. I might miss the start of the draft, but I shouldn't miss too much of it.

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
K cool, i was planning on being there, but I just got a text from a girl saying her kids are staying at her parents tomorrow night and she wants me to come down and then followed up by saying 'we are going to have fun tomorrow night'. I might be reading in between the lines too much, but I believe this is good news for me! Maybe she'll let me use her computer...sancarlos wrote:Yes you can auto draftTheHumanComa wrote:Yeah I can't make the draft time either or at all, I guess ill start setting prices, it's also an autodraft right?

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015
K, i think I might be able to do it on my phone. Don't like this autodraft thing, might set prices too high and spend too much too fast... but i'll have it set up just in case. Just gotta make sure i get rid of the players i don't want! Sunday night would have been better, but way too late to change that i guess.
