Subject: Attn: ATHSIII Managers ... Time for Some Hardball Posted by: ¤ Mario LeMoose ¤ - [5110151] Sun, Feb 15, 2004, 02:00 Who's "in" for a proposed Yahoo! baseball group: Curby, Moose, quik, Toral, Thinkbig Declined: Little M Teams/managers still to be heard from: Challenger, Dan, Dr. Doom, philflyboy, Rogue9, StL Blues, Taxman, Twarpy The game is supposed to be launched mid-February, so expect that to be sometime during the week of the 16th. • Format (head-to-head, roto, or points) and settings (scoring categories, number of players per team) are open to discussion. • Draft order to be based on pre-playoff standings in About Time Hockey Starts III, i.e., at the conclusion of Week 22. (Consequently, the baseball draft will not begin prior to March 8.) If we opt for H2H and need to recruit outside the group to get to an even number of teams, newcomer(s) go to the bottom of the draft order. • Offline selection, either here or via e-mail, will be restricted to the Yahoo! player pool at the time of draft. • Traditional reptile draft, given that my suggestion on the league message board to try a different approach was about as popular as tofu at a Texas barbecue. Speak up. :-) | |||||||

Toral has me as a yes...which is OK with me, but truthfully, I am a "whatever" take me out and you have 11 voters and one or the other will be a majority on the AL/NL vs universe question. What is more important is the draft date> I am out of country 3/3 through 3/7 and out of town 3/8 through 3/13 (however I can do phone contact during the later time). Somebody let me know please. | ||||||

Taxman: With the draft order being determined by the hockey group's regular-season standings at the end of week 22, the earliest we can begin selecting players is March 8 (and that is assuming Yahoo! hockey will be up-to-date). No AL/NL split; scoring is head-to-head. Haven't adjusted any of the scoring options (see post 11 above) yet ... there have been only a couple of suggestions posted and not much support for the proposed changes. I think that going for the full 40 transaction limit is a good idea, though, as this time we'll have a larger player pool from which to draw. Any objections from the group? | ||||||

Taxman, Twarpy: Please remember to add your entries to the baseball league (check the ATHS III message board for the number and password). :-) | ||||||
| 32 | Curby ID: 1829191 Mon, Mar 01, 2004, 01:19 | Moose---everything looks good. Just a question tho...how high can minimum inngs pitched be? 15 for a week seems just a tad low. | ||||||
| 33 | ¤ Mario LeMoose ¤ ID: 2623711 Mon, Mar 01, 2004, 02:37 | Curby: The range is "no minimum" to 50, in single-inning increments; the default setting for head-to-head leagues is 7. | ||||||

On league settings, I'll repeat myself: I strongly recommend that "league votes" be changed to "commissioner". I don't care what rules the league/ Commish follows on disallowing trades: majority votes, two-thirds, the Commish's opinion, or flipping a coin. We've never had a problem, we folks, with dubious trades and I don't expect one, but the "league votes' option allows any 4 people to vote anonymously to veto a trade, and leaving it on is just asking for trouble.

Okay, okay, okay ... we'll go with 40 player acquisitions and use this to decide "questionable" trades:

Stuck in the Sixties: ID# and password have been sent to you via e-mail. As a newcomer to the group, you will draft #13 in the odd rounds (#2 in the even). I've offered the final spot to another Gurupie; if he accepts, that fills the league. | ||||||

Regrettably, because this has been a great bunch to play with, I won't be able to join another draft league. I was drafted ouit last year by the time ATHS came up, and it showed. If you need or decide to go low-maintenance and autodraft, I would be in. Autodraft is also fun when you see the results and say "!@@##$%^&&&*& !" How did I end up with 8 OFs and no 2Bmen? It tends to increase of necessity the league's early trading activity, and social interaction! Toral | ||||||

Draft Order:
Draft hours will be 10:00 a.m. ET to midnight ET daily; let's plan on starting officially on Thursday, March 10. There will be an eight-hour limit between picks for the first round and a six-hour limit between picks thereafter; if we fall too far behind pace, that limit will be reduced as necessary. Any manager placed on the clock after 10:00 p.m. ET will have until 10:00 a.m. ET the following day to make his/her pick. If you miss your turn and have not left a queue with another manager, we'll move along to the next team in the draft order. You'll be able to add your make-up pick(s) later—make sure you identify them by round and draft position—without having to wait for your next regular turn. [For the curious: The draft order was determined by a "blind" double-random drawing, i.e., a team name was chosen at random and matched with a draft position number drawn at random.] Link to ATHS III draft thread, part 1 | ||||||
