Subject: Yahoo League: TSN-Style... Only Better!
Posted by: KrazyKoalaBears
- Donor [517553018] Tue, Sep 16, 2003, 00:24
That's right, it's a Yahoo points-based Hockey League done up TSN-Style. The only thing is, this is better because only 1 team can have each player and there's no salary crap (er, cap) to worry about. Oh yeah, there's that FREE part as well. ;) I'm looking for 12 teams that are going to be active all season, so if you're interested, post your email here. If you don't plan on being active all season, then please don't sign up. Here's the logistics...
Draft: SLOW DRAFT (I have something that will work for this)
Max Moves: 40
Max Trades: No max
Scoring type: Points-based
Waiver time: 2 days
Max Games: 82
Roster Changes: Daily Starting Pos: C, C, C, W, W, W, W, D, D, D, G, G, IR, IR (just like TSN + 2 IR spots)
Max Players on Team: 16 (translation: 4 bench spots) Points System (just like TSN)
Goals: 25
Assists: 25
P/M: 10
PIM: 3
PPG: 10
PPA: 5 (Not normally in TSN)
SHG: 20
GWG: 20
GTG: 10
SOG: 2 Wins: 50
Ties: 25
GA: -15
Sv: 2
SHO: 50 |

I wonder why my 134 got deleted. Better yet, HOW did it get deleted? Anyhow, I just mentioned that the arrow thing doesn't work when the current pick is on someone who missed a pick. It's because their missed pick takes precedence over their current pick, so essentially, the arrow is going both ways at that point in time.

KKB, FYI on message rec'd during my selection
PLAYER NOT FOUND IN YAHOO! PLAYER DATABASE!
Is the player's name Mike Dunham, as you entered it, or is it really Dunham Mike? Make sure you have not reversed the first and last name fields.
Check the Yahoo Player Database for the correct spelling of the player's name.
Check the Yahoo Player Database for the player's current team listing.

Rec'd:
Are you sure you want to select:

Answered no, then redid and rec'd back the same mesage. This time answered yes and rec'd this message:
You have selected:

Then the draft shows this:

Hope this helps explain what is showing on the main page of the draft.

IMPORTANT! In an effort to get this draft finished, the draft time will be dropped to 1 hour tomorrow at 8 am. If you will not be available to pick within that time frame, please send a queue to me at admin@kafenatid.net. Rosters will be uploaded to Yahoo when the draft clock has reached 0:00. If you have an incomplete roster, it will be first come, first serve from the FA pool to fill your roster. I'm apologize that it has had to come to this, but this draft needs to finish 2+ more rounds by tomorrow night so I can input the rosters properly.

PLAYER RIGHTS
The following players have been drafted and are not yet available in the Yahoo fantasy hockey database. The manager who drafted them will have full rights to the draft player until that roster spot is filled. If that roster spot becomes filled, the manager will lose all rights to the player. In the event of multiple player rights for a single manager, if a spot becomes filled, they will lose rights to the lowest drafted (highest number round) player whose rights they have.

A question. Or a note to Dan and Twarpy really, because I think I know the answer. Two players (Mike York and Jason Blake) have been drafted as centers but they're listed as wingers by Yahoo. Does that mean Dan and Twarpy will have an extra winger and one less center to play with?
P.S. Considering Mike York, and probably Jason Blake too, really are centers it may well happen they'll gain center eligibility at one point during the season and it will turn out to be a non-issue.

Urmas, I have no control over positions, so they will be added at the position they are listed in the Yahoo fantasy hockey database (which isn't always the same as the players database). Though as you pointed out, the players will likely gain eligibility at the other position at some point during the season.

I thought that's the answer. According to the Yahoo fantasy hockey database Mike York is LW and Jason Blake is RW. The only players available both as winger and center I've seen so far are Peter Forsberg and Trevor Letowski.

KKB, You might check to see if your timely emails are still going out. Haven't rec'd mine yet when normally I have rec'd them within 5 minutes of previous pick. (I know, you can only send them and have to rely on the Postal Service to deliver them) ;>)

That wasn't near as cornfusing as Sunday when I rec'd my notification 4 1/2 hours after making my selection which was made 5 minutes after Dan. Talk about getting to the draft quick and then trying to figure out why it wasn't my turn but still Twarpy's whose turn was directing after me. Me head was spinning! Who am I going to select? Just who? What position? What, it's not my turn? Drat! :)

I had with Brian Pothier the problem Challenger described in post 149 with Mike Dunham. The difference is, that Dunham is in Yahoo player database (now) but Pothier really isn't. I guess that's another entry to Players Rights. Not that I think that anyone else wants him, mind you...
