I think most favor Yahoo, so we'll be running Yahoo for this league. I am not a fan of adding burdens to the commish duties, so we are going to use Yahoo defaults for league setup. Therefore, Ohtani is going to be two players. Adjust fire accordingly.

We may get additional managers from the RIBC major league. So, we aren't ready for choosing our draft order until we know exactly how many managers we are going to have and who they are.

The first orders of business are to set a schedule of events, and to make sure we have everyone on board. You'll find a schedule in the next post. Following that, I'd like you all to sound off with "IN" or "OUT" to let me know that you are still planning to play, and that you plan to pay attention to this thread by visiting it daily through the preseason. Fall asleep during the season is frowned on, but its even more important that you stay engaged through the preseason. Your absence may prohibit us from finishing on time.

I have sent invites to the Yahoo League to everyone but LarryF, whose e-mail address I do not have.

Looks like we got everyone on the list except LarryF to sign up at Yahoo. If anyone knows how to contact Larry, please let him know to use the links above and join Yahoo and Draft Time.

Only four of us are in Draft Time so far. The link to join us there is in post <4> above.

I'm rather overwhelmed until around Mar 8th so I won't be able to join.

If any lurkers are willing to draft but worried about whether they'd commit through the season, I'd be able to tag in as an in-season replacement if necessary.

You will receive an e-mail from draftordergenerator.com shortly. This will be the order we select our draft position in. You may not have gotten it if I mistyped your address, but that should be the only reason. As long as one person other than me got it, this order will stand. You used to be able to type team names in it, but now you will need this key to understand the results. There are 14 teams this year.

Team 1: Bean's Guardians
Team 2: C1-NRB's A.L.L. Army
Team 3: Crack Babies
Team 4: Fred's First Class Team

I have started the draft. You can set queues now. You'll note that the player data base has just one Ohtani, the DH. If you want the pitcher, you'll have to add him when it is your turn. Same goes for any other player not in the data base. Can't queue added players.

There is a daily pause midnight to 8 AM ET, in which you can pick, but the clock is paused. There will be no clock until Monday at 8 AM ET. After that there is a 4 hour clock, and I hope to not have to reduce that time throughout the draft. Of course, that depends on how fast we are drafting.

If you are wondering, proper etiquette is to still do your best to keep your pick time to 4 hours or less, even while there is no clock on 3 MAR.

If you see any issues with the draft set up, let me know ASAP.

I simply copied the RIBC settings from last year when setting up the league. I think they were fixed about this same time last year too. Perhaps it just copied the original settings, and not the corrected settings.

Anyway, it's fixed. Thanks Jeff

unless my math is wrong there should be 1360 points to go around in a 16 team league with 10 categories, and only 1050 in a 14 team leagues, so 1360 divided by 1050 times SZ's 100 would be 129.5 pts.

(1050 pts)/(14 teams) = 75 pts/team average
(1360 pts)/(16 teams) = 85 pts/team average

However, it's more likely the teams at the top get a bigger share of these additional 310 points than the teams at the bottom. Proportional? I don't know. Ask some statistics guy like Guru.

oh yeah that's right bean, 2 more teams to collect the extra 310 pts. (85/75)100 = 113. that would surely be the lowest winning total ever in ribc. maybe the larger free agent pool available to the league shrinks the bell curve and tightens up the standings. the activity level of the league is a factor too, so yeah you need someone like guru the actuary and a stack of data to come up with something. and dang, that was super tight standings, 100, 99, 94. ouch.
