Sorry no word. Been on holiday the last couple of weeks and this site is a nightmare to navigate on the phone.
Keepy keepy:
Reggie Wayne (WR, IND) Frank Gore (RB, SF) Knowshon Moreno (RB, DEN) Joseph Addai (RB, IND)
Mmmmm, mediocrity.

I've sent stu a message on Steam. You'll need to join the league if you actually want to play as well, Horn

I spoke to Stu on MSN and he wasn't sure if he was playing. He did say his keepers would be: Chris Johnson MJD Antonio Gates Robert Meachem
Not sure what you want to do here, Elth. He said he was away until Tuesday, so if youre doing the draft overnight Monday UK time, he'll not be back and there's a thing with Coffers too, so it's up to you. If you do include him and he decides not to play (which I think will be unlikely, TBH) then would we release all his non-keepers back into the pool for everyone? I guess that would be the fairest way, The highest waiver would get the best options, obv.

The problem is that I can't just choose to include people - they have to sign up for the league. I can't assign teams.
I suppose I could register a bunch of alias email accounts and use them to sign up to the league, then assign the team to the respective managers. Hmmm.

Sounds the way to go then Elth, if there is no other way to.

Would mean Hornet and stu keep the standard draft order and just take whatever the computer gives them, but that's not my problem

Or could the draft wait until Tuesday/Wednesday? To give Stu a chance to join. I'll have my roster ready and sshould be able to get my teams sorted ahead of time before I go away.

Re Horn's keepers, I thought we could only keep a max of two players in one position, he's too 3 RB's as keepers?
As it is I've entered everyones keepers as listed into my don't draft list, until I hear otherwise I'm ready to go. But am also ready to move one of Horns RB's back to the draftable list when a final decision is made on that one.

I didn't specify a position limit, I guess, although we had one last year - but that was with just 3 keepers.
When do you leave for your holiday, Coffers? Honestly, people scheduling holidays around the start of the NFL season, it's unfathomable.

Thursday but as what was planned to be a 2 week holiday in Samos turned into a 1 week holiday, I'll be around in the UK intermittently We actually fly on 16th September so will be totally out of earshot of the T'Internet then, for a week. Access from this Thursday will very much depend on where we are and what access is available.I would think I'll be around this coming weekend at the very least, so you can delay a fair bit longer if you wish. But as Commish, I'd be grateful if you keep an eye on the team in case I can't get on and pick a full bench, like Stu used to do when I was away. If I can and I have time I'll pick the starters for a few weeks in advance anyway, so would only need intervention in the event of injuries. As for holidays in NFL season, if you saw the price saving we make by not going in July or August which coincide with School summer holidays, you would know why we choose September, it's also not unbearably hot in Mediterranean countries in September.

No problem, I'll get signed up before the draft tonight.

Well yeah, but wait until after the first round starts! I might hold the draft another 24 hours to see if Stu can get his ducks into line by then, if you're going to be around for a little longer.

I'll definitely be around up to Wednesday night, I'm fishing on Friday so should be around on Thuirsday night too, Friday night is unlikely as for Saturday and Sunday who knows.

If DC isn't here by then, his "keepers" will be:
LeSean McCoy (Phi - RB) Randy Moss (NE - WR) Aaron Rodgers (GB - QB) Hines Ward (Pit - WR)
Please be prepared to remove them from your list of draftable players. Remember, anyone you draft who has been reserved as a keeper for a non-playing manager will be cut - don't waste your draft picks.

Or I guess I could register a dummy team, set them to draft the 8 keepers that are ineligible, and fill their roster with nonsense, then leave all their players on the bench every week so they don't score points...

Oh shoite, I seem to have a strange number in my do not draft list, I know I added a couple that weren't keepers but I still seem to have 1 unaccounted. I'll have to have another look see later.
Never mind I think I've worked it out, the extra one is a season long injury victim.

Post by coffers on Sept 6, 2010 16:08:30 GMT
So is that alll the keepers accounted for? I can start making up my draft list from what's left?

Post by elth on Sept 7, 2010 1:14:55 GMT
Yep. Make sure Boony and DC's keepers are on your excluded list; everyone else is fair game.
You don't have to exclude everyone elses' keepers because I'll assign them to the first four rounds automatically, but it doesn't matter if you do either.

Hopefully Stu will get around to signing up today so I can kick the draft off overnight UK time.

Yep.
I've set the draft to OK and entered a team for Stu. Just waiting for the draft to happen now and the season can kick off.
