0 Subject: Football League Needs Managers

Posted by: skinneej
- Leader [040625911] Fri, Aug 18, 2006, 08:35

Looking to fill a non-keeper gurupie league. There are 4-5 spots still open since the time has passed for returning teams to fill. The core of the league has played together for several years in gurupie leagues, so we are looking for good managers to add to the fold. We need managers that are going to play the entire season to retain invite for next season.

The live draft is set up for Sunday, Sept 3rd at noon EST so make sure you can make it. Please put your e-mail address in the appropriate field so you can be contacted. Thanks.

Can you post the league settings, who else is in the league, and what site you use for the draft and the season?

More emphasis on scoring vs yards. Fun settings and good draft time. Mike, are you in this league?

No, first I've seen it. But I wouldn't be able to make the draft time......and skinneej only trades about 10-15 times a year, which is way below par. ;)

Hey, MikeD, I figure if you can't make a draft on Sunday at noon, then you're not serious about Football! :) Every fan knows that the Fox Pre-game starts at noon so that is when my alarm clock goes off on Sundays!!

BTW, my goal with the settings for this league was to balance WR and RB scoring. Many leagues favor RBs so adding receptions struck a good balance. It also gives an edge to RBs that are used heavily in the passing game.

I like the bonus points that Yahoo added, but I wish you could have tiers. I would like to have 1 bonus point at 100 yrds, and go up from there.

RBs catch some balls too though. Looks interesting, but I am also unavailable this Sunday.

I'm interested also, but I'm unsure about a Sunday noon draft at this point.
