0 Subject: Battle of the Ages Division

Posted by: GoatLocker - [456531310] Thu, Oct 05, 16:00

We did a Battle of the Ages Division in MS Baseball and it went over pretty good.
There has been some discussion at the end of the Final Standings for the Division about starting a similar Division for Hockey / Hoops.
I would be more than willing to set up the divisions and email the name and password to everybody if we can get enough interest.

The criteria we used with MS Baseball was anybody in their teens or 20’s qualified as a youngun and anybody 30 or over qualified as an Old Fart.

Those interested can drop me an email or add to the thread.

We were limited to 20 in MS Baseball, but have no limits now, other than I would believe we want to keep the numbers even.

As a previous member of BOA I would enjoy teaching the youngsters how real men/women play the game. Let me know when you set it up and I'll create a team as part of the Old Farts.

I have a team that's looking for a foster home, so I'd be willing to put the "fart" back in Old Fart and show you Seniors how to get the "hat trick" back in your Geriatric's

I haven't created a division yet, due to only having interest from 5 of us with 4 of those being old farts and 1 youngun

I've got a team I can move, but not sure if its worth the effort for a 5 team division.

Any thoughts.

Yeah, 5 does seem like a bit of a small division.

Any other whippersnappers ready to take down the old farts? Come on! Let's show these geezers who the stars of today are!

i'll do it, but i don't want to manage 2 teams. i'm wasting too much time on this fantasy sports stuff as is. i'm assuming we're all gonna start from a clean slate, though.

btw, i'm a youngun.

We can do clean slate teams, but I think most people already have a team they could move. Am I correct or wrong? Please post so everyone knows and we can figure something out.

I have a team sitting idle and I'd enjoy teaching those old dogs a new trick or two... I would hope that it is not starting all over but rather moving a team in there.

I've got a team that started a day late that I intended to move if and when we got this going.

KKB thanks for starting the division.

I'm in. Kicked some young butts in baseball and ready for more whoopass in hockey. Started a new team today, but it won't matter, we will prevail once again. Hockey is a Man's sport, not meant for boys!

The Division was formed (see post 15). Let's get those teams in there. I started a new team and have a whopping 0 points, but the season is very Young, plenty of time to catch up.

That's okay, I just went in and did a complete revamp, and we'll see how it goes from there.

Ok, so my team is clearly my "B" team, as I am much more conceantrating on beating my friends in my other division with my "A" team, but now that I have something to play for, I got a reason to tinker with this bad boy here.

We need some more teams in here. If I'm not afraid to start new no one else should either. When we first discussed this I believe Philflyboy would run stats showing how badly us Old Farts were whooping up on the Young Turds!

Since some people have got their teams that started from the beginning of the year, and others have made new teams just now, I've decided to take a little from both worlds and put my "adopted" team, from Costanza in with 10 trades that I just made valid now. So, it's not really "cheating" here, and I am going after that SW Message Board Punk with my "D" team that I just play around with when I'm in compulsive trading mode.

I have joined the division as a young gun so that I can beat up on some old fogies.

I have brought in my "A" team (and only team beyond my OTO team)....although, in my case, the A has stood for Average so far this year so there is no reason for any of you wrinklies to fear. In fact, you may need your Depends when laughing at my terrible trade habits (for example, I snapped today and blew my last 3 trades in the 15 minutes before the freeze - I just had to get rid of those damn slackers on my team!!!).

By my count, it's 6-3 Younguns over Oldfarts right now. If it doesn't equal out, we'll just have to do average points per manager instead of total points.

Any other ideas? Any other Oldfarts willing to accept the challenge?

we could determine a cut-off age to distinguish between young and old.

i'm 22.

The age cutoff that we used in baseball was as I put in the original start of the thread.

30 and over for the old farts.
29 and under for the younguns.

That was why I had slacked off on starting the league, because we weren't seeing a lot of interest.

We can work it out.
