0 Subject: ATHS XII (2013-2014 Season)

Posted by: ¤ Mario LeMoose ¤
- [437492923] Fri, Aug 30, 2013, 00:53

I've created ATHS XII for 2013-2014 and used Yahoo!'s notification system to send invitations to all managers who participated last season. Follow-up messages containing the league's custom URL were also sent via regular e-mail from my RoadRunner account.

All league settings are open for discussion until the draft begins.

Former ATHS members who have taken a break from the league, or newcomers ... please post here, with link to e-mail address, if you're interested in joining the group. Because the scoring format is head-to-head, an even number of teams will be required.

Draftime details will be shared when available.

If Toral is happy with Ira I'm happy as well. Because happiness shared is happiness doubled.

I'm unhappy all the time, except when participating in a WCE league

Our current league settings are copied below. Any changes worth considering before the draft begins? For example ...

• Should we swap one of the D slots for a second Util?

• Is there enough interest in trying a two-division setup? (Division winners would be seeded first and second in playoffs.)

• Would you like to try playoff reseeding? (Playoff reseeding will adjust the second-round matchups so the highest seeded team will play the lowest ranked team. Playoff reseeding will occur when there is an upset in the first round of the playoffs.)

The numbered playoff "weeks" listed are subject to change; our playoffs should end April 6 (one week before the last day of the NHL regular season), regardless of what "week" that happens to be in Yahoo! fantasy hockey. If necessary, the trade end date will be adjusted as well.

Customizable options for private leagues can be viewed at this link.

• Should we swap one of the D slots for a second Util?
I'd be up for that. Defence was paper thin last year.

• Is there enough interest in trying a two-division setup? (Division winners would be seeded first and second in playoffs.)
I'm pretty indifferent. I'm happy with the current format.

• Would you like to try playoff reseeding? (Playoff reseeding will adjust the second-round matchups so the highest seeded team will play the lowest ranked team. Playoff reseeding will occur when there is an upset in the first round of the playoffs.)
I like this idea. Didn't realize it wasn't already part of our format. May as well do it the way the NHL does.

I will be the voice of the embattled 4th defenceman. Getting something out of that position is a challenge, of the kind dedicated fantasy players should embrace, not avoid.

I don't get the idea of a two-division setup. On what basis?

Playoff reseeding is good.

Scratch that last post. I renewed the league (first time ever selecting that option instead of creating a new league) and all managers from last season were automatically added to the draft.

Yahoo! has finally resolved the issue involving the final week of the NHL season (April 7–13) by combining the original weeks 1 and 2. Week 25 will end on April 13, giving leagues the choice of the full season schedule.

I've moved our playoffs back to weeks 22–24, ending April 6.

Draft order (determined using random.org):

01 ... ira
02 ... Curby's Ice Capades
03 ... Perm Dudes
04 ... Vincible-er
05 ... HoserNight in Canada
06 ... Talldrinksov Water
07 ... Wheatfarmers
08 ... philflyboy
09 ... S-S-SuperFreak
10 ... Tax Cuts
11 ... Foot's Dekes
12 ... Hartford Hurricanes

I'll enter this information into Draftime, then "start" the draft (with no time limit between picks) so that managers will be able to access the player list and set queues. The draft officially begins Tuesday, September 17, at 9:00 ET.

Please move all further draft-related discussion to the ATHS XII forum at Draftime.

Good luck!

Wow, botched that last pick. Made it from my phone thinking it was the RGFHL draft. There's half a dozen wingers I would have taken before Yak. Oh well, I've got high hopes for him

Maybe a little early, but not a horrible pick. He's probably going to double his output in his sophomore campaign.
