Subject: Qualifying League
Posted by: Stuck in the Sixties
- Dude [274132811] Tue, Sep 30, 2003, 13:20
I'd be interesting in putting together a qualifying league, with the winner(s) to be considered for Guru's league next season. We'll use the categories he suggested.
If you're interested, indicate with Email address. Draft will be a slow one on the Standings board and that could start whenever 12 of us commit. Downside to early draft is, of course, potential injuries.
Does anyone know when Yahoo will begin this season? |

I do so love a good game of roto-hoops and there is no finer group o' hoops junkies than these here rotogurupies.
Farn, Ender or whomever has taken on the blessed task of organizing a league please drop me a note with the league information should I be invited and space permits.
Thank ye kindly,

Stuck - I got an email from you, but it was blank (no league information in it)? Can you, or someone else, try and resend?

Well, I have 10 people who got registering info from me. 2 more, Eugene and Waazupguy still need to leave your address.
I will take the first 2 people to leave an addy though, even if it isnt' them. Just want to get this thing rolling.

OK, I guess all further communication at the league site in Yahoo, then.
BTW, I have a live Yahoo draft on Oct. 15 at 9:30 ET, 8:30 CT that I'll be unable to make.
Anyone care to cover for me or know someone who would? It's our venerable survivor league.

if anybody's still got room, I'd like in one of these leagues. It's definitely been a while since I've been around here, but I did have an almost top 100 finish a few years ago in TSN, and as a hoops junkie this is always a great crowd for a fantasy league.

Eugene- do you drink?
3 different times in this thread i wrote that you left no email. And yet you continue to wonder why you didn't get an invite.
If you leave one you may get invited a 3rd league if one gets going. Or you could start a 3rd league and save someone else the trouble of asking for your email a billion times.

ah ok, got your email. but i can't really uninvite people now.
I would say get a 3rd league going and you will fill it up quickly. Stamati and Chuckball haven't gotten an invite yet so start with them.

Eugene, you didn't leave your email. How was he suppose to get you the info? Get off his back.
Nothing personal, but the guys in Guru's league are at another level. I am sure you can be competetive, but have a little humility as you learn about the ability and experience some of the people have on here.

The point to be made is that in all these leagues there is a kindred rotoguru spirit. Eugene, please understand that.

Eugene, you just weren't invited yet, that's all. If you had provided an email address you probably would have been. If you understand that and lighten up about the whole situation you are more likely to get invited. If you pout about it, you are less likely.

Da Bomb who invited him? I didn't and neither did Stuck.
Hopefully you didn't invite him yourself because I already invited 12 managers which is our league max. So we don't have room for another guy at this point.

ugh, well that's a disastor then.
That means someone doesn't have a spot (assuming they try to sign up).
Either LateNightLurker or WazaapGuy is going to get short changed.
How did Stamati get invited? Someone else apparently gave him the password.

Just an update on scoring system. As a "qualifying" league, my only requirement is that it use roto scoring, 8 categories, not HTH. If you want to do something different with roster sizes, position requirements, bench and IR slots, etc., that's fine with me.
We've made some minor changes to the roster size in the Invitational League. We now have 12 actives, 3 bench, and only one IR slot. Position requirements are 4 G, 4 F, 2 C, and 2 Util. Games limits are 82 per position (i.e., 4x82 for guards, 2x82 for centers, etc.)

I’m sure everyone is lining up to deal for that #11 spot. Lol. Actually, I’ll get a couple decent dudes. I do have to complain about picking alongside Tree. Last time I did that, things were pretty scary.

Our league uses exactly the same setup as you experts. BTW, we intend to spend the season honing our skills hoping for that callup next season to the big show!

Farn/StuckinThe60s, are there 2 qualifying leagues?
I've just noticed Farn's other post that starts the draft, but I don't see my name (as well as other's from this new Yahoo league) -- am I missing something?
