PSFL & OIFL Leagues [combined thread]

Welcome back to Season 14 of the PSFL (AL-only), and season 8 of the OIFL (NL-only).

Defending Champs are –
AL-only ~ Tosh
NL-only ~ darkside

The 2017 AL-only and NL-only leagues have been activated. Yahoo did something differently this season ... and it auto-renewed everyone. So please check to see if you are indeed registered in the leagues.

PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR PARTICIPATION FOR THIS SEASON!

We need to find a 10th manager for both leagues. Do you know anyone that might be interested in joining??

Welcome back and Game on!

I'm in. I may have a potential candidate. He's legit, but has never been around the boards. I'll check to see if he's interested, but recognize anyone with any existing Gurupie cred will be chosen first.

My friend is interested in joining. He knows more about baseball and fantasy sports than me, but has never played H2H or in a league with as much competition (aside from the Yahoo champions leagues). That said, I would expect he'll be competing for a crown pretty quickly. However, if there's a gurupie out there who is similarly interested, I can see it making sense to go with them.

Welcome to the leagues kudrycki -

I see that you were able to join Draftime.

I sent an invite for the AL Yahoo league. Please let me know if you did not receive it.

Nine managers have returned from last year. We welcome kudrycki to the gang.

Since the same managers are in both leagues, we’ll do the draft order selection the same way as 2014-2016. That selection will be for the AL-only. We will then reverse the selection for the NL draft.

So, if you take the #1 slot for AL, you get the #10 slot for NL. #7 slot in AL gets the #4 slot in NL. And so on.

The draft will again be held at www.draftime.com. You should all be pre-registered. Go log in and check it out.

REMEMBER: You are picking your draft slot for the AL-only league. We will reverse the final list for the NL-only.

I took the current team names as they appeared on my Yahoo page. I used the Random Integer Set Generator three times, and re-sorted each time.

The original list was -
The Islanders
darkside of the moon
Dubai Dune Bashers
Mighty Meatwads
mjd
russelldl
SANFORDORS
WG
who is ksoze
Homestead Grays

The generator gave us -
Set 1: 7, 8, 10, 1, 9, 2, 5, 3, 6, 4
Set 2: 4, 7, 5, 8, 10, 9, 6, 2, 3, 1
Set 3: 2, 4, 5, 10, 8, 1, 3, 6, 9, 7
Timestamp: 2017-02-28 04:22:18 UTC


That gives us the final order -
The Islanders
Dubai Dune Bashers
russelldl
darkside of the moon
mjd
Homestead Grays
SANFORDORS
WG
who is ksoze
Mighty Meatwads

With the draft slots figured out ... we are ready to move forward.

We were looking to get started this upcoming Monday 3/6. No clock. Does anyone have a problem starting then?? We can delay if needed.

The past couple of seasons, the manager that finished in 10th place has payed the Draftime fee ($10) the following season. The 10th place finishers (regular season) in 2016 were -

AL-only ~~ russelldl
NL-only ~~ WG [It was Boozer, but he's not with us this season. WG finished 9th]

Do you guys have a problem paying the fee?? If so ... just let me know, and we'll figure out a different plan.


Game on!

I'll have NL-only ready to go on Monday. Just need to set the draft order.

First 3 rounds of draftime are free, as a reminder. After 3 rounds are up, the draft halts until the fee is paid. Thanks in advance guys.

The earlier in the day you can open it the better for me. Dubai is a 12 hour difference from Western US time.

At least if it gets opened early I can get in and set the lineups to a point.

I have my first pick set to auto pick.

Second pick is not turned on. With the first picks of the draft I don't want to risk getting two SS or to SP etc.

If my turn goes by in the next 2 hours before I sleep I will set the second pick.

Later in the draft I won't be as conservative.

Thanks for your patience. #LivinginDubai

I just got this email reply from Draftime.

"They can just send PayPal money to contact.us@draftime.com and note the league. Once I get the payment I'll mark it paid."

Thanks guys!!

Well we ground to a halt. Bed time in my part of the world. I set my next pick to auto in each league. I would like to see what I get for the second pick based on position obtained.

I've been waking up multiple times during the night to check the draft...light sleeper.

I'm heading to the UK tonight. I'll be available but might be a little slower to pick. Hopefully it won't be too disruptive, I'll try to set some auto-picks for the time that I am in the air.

I'll have internet access, and hopefully enough battery power to get me through ... and I also hope to not cause many delays.

It's that point in the draft where we are picking players that I've never heard of, and would go undrafted in the majority of mixed leagues.

To assist in these final picks, the AL-only players have been entered through pick 20.04.

Should be all finished soon!

The draft results for both leagues have been entered into Yahoo. Please check for accuracy.

Let's plan on activating the leagues this upcoming Friday, 3/24. That will give us a little more Spring training info ... prior to submitting our initial waiver claims.

Good luck to all!

I think the waiver orders in both leagues are off. I should have #10 in NL but am #9 and should have #1 in AL but have #10. Looks like others are off as well.

Guys, just an FYI, if I disappear from working my teams, I live in Pt Charlotte, Florida, a town that's currently expected to see the eye of Irma and have evacuated away to Disney. While here I'll hopefully be online as Disney is on their own power grid so they're likely to be back up sooner than elsewhere if it goes down. That said, it's possible power will be gone for good at some time tomorrow. I'll be heading back to the west coast of the state on Tuesday and suspect I may have neither the access nor the time to manage by then, but if I'm able to access the teams I'll welcome the escape.

Congratulations to darkside!! Champion in BOTH leagues! Well played.

Great job from the new guy (Homestead Grays). First place in BOTH leagues during the regular season. But he suffered the same fate as the 2001 Seattle Mariners. Fantastic regular season. But couldn't pull it off in the playoffs.

Thanks to everyone for another great year of H2H baseball. See you all in 2018!!

Great job darkside. I was rolling pretty good in the NL and you shut down this hype train real quick. The beatdown got me looking at the results since I came into the league 5 years ago.

darkside has finished top 3 in the NL for 5 consecutive seasons, including his 3rd title. That's impressive. Also of note, he won his second AL title, 11 years apart! Gotta love it.

Homestead definitely deserves credit for taking the regular season titles in both leagues. Made it obvious real quick that we all need to step up our games going forward. See you guys next season!

Thanks, guys! The thing I love about H2H is you're never really out of it. Week to week you've got a shot and, if you make the playoffs, anything is possible.

At the end of the day, though, the important thing is that kudrycki/Homestead Grays didn't win. I work with him and goaded him into joining the league since he always played public leagues and, obviously, hadn't tasted real competition (insert embarrassed emoji here).

I was quite aware that he knew baseball better than me, but didn't expect him to so quickly dominate. Luckily, the right thing happened, he didn't win, and will come back for blood next year. Till then, enjoy the real playoffs.
