wiggs (probably will be called to AAA)
weyKool
Kyle
promize
Wolfer
Bonka
Rheo
Gurudan
Jseth333
perm dude
coldwater coyotes
russeldl

Please let me know asap if you see any problems with the list or if you thought you were on it and are not.

I am not going to have internet access between July 29 and August 6 - if that is going to create serious obstacles then I will need to drop out

I'll confirm that I am in. Russell, last time I was in your AA league I qualified for AAA, so hopefully I can do that again. You run a great league and I am glad you stepped up to do this.

Same, I'm good to go with this unless I'm needed for AAA, which looks extremely unlikely.

ok, we need about 3 more (assuming wiggs gets moved up). Plus we're bound to lose one or two folks who signed up before. So we probably need about 5 more guys. I'll ask guru to mention it in the daily blurb when he gets back and that will probably get us the folks we need.

Yes, sign up here. I'm hoping to get the ball rolling on the league by the end of the week but we are in a bit of a holding pattern until the AAA leagues get set.

Wiggs - check TD's post -- AAA#2 -- he's back from vacation on
Sat -- I think there will be a spot for you. A couple of AAA
eligibles haven't checked in and his deadline is Sat.

As of right now AAA#2 looks to be looking for 3 maybe 4 replacements? It is very hard to tell as some people have not confirmed teams on Fanball, most haven't posted team names, some places seem to be being held for people? and some people haven't checked in at all. It is amazing how something so basic as signing up for an invitaion and qualified league can get so hard LOL.

Thanks for the updates.
I'm going to hold off until sunday night to start sorting things out. Hopefully both AAA leagues are set by then.

Keep signing up folks! It looks like we'll still have a couple of spots to fill. And if there's interest there can always be a second AA league.

Ok, I'm sending out fanball invites and kafenatid info right now. Please sign up on both sites asap.

I'll give everyone until monday the 11th to get signed in. If you aren't in by then, and haven't contacted me or posted, that's when we'll have to look for someone else. Hopefully that doesnt happen, but if it does, then DPR, that's when you would have a shot at getting into the league.

That puts us on track to start the draft untimed on friday the 15th and start timing picks on Monday the 18th. I believe that's the schedule for the other leagues also.

Let me know if there are any questions or if you haven't received your invites by tonight.

russelldl we should probably start the picking for draft spots soon since all the other leagues are doing this. I'm e-mailing you 1 random set of numbers and if someone else e-mails him the other then we can get the draft for draft spots started that'd be awesome. It'd also help me plan my draft :)

Ok, here's where we stand:
RHEO and JSETH have not signed up for fanball or kafenatid yet. Jseth mentioned not having access until the 6th but we havent heard anything from Rheo. You have until Monday guys, please get signed up.
Also, GURUDAN and COLDWATER COYOTES still need to join the fanball league. You're on the kafenatid site so I know you are alive and breathing. Please sign up for the fanball league.
Finally, DREAMIN AND SLIZZ both need to sign up for the kafenatid draft. You are both signed up for the fanball league so again, I assume you are coherent. Please sign up for the kafenatid draft asap.
If anyone needs a new invite to anything, please let me know. I'll be sending emails out to all of these folks right now.

Ok, everyone is signed up for both sites except Coldwater Coyotes needs to sign up for the fanball league. But we can get moving forward now.
I need someone other than kyle to send me a list of 1-14 in random order. I'll post the order for picking draft spots and we'll be good to go.

One last piece of info, I'm in the process of upating the fanball site with the proper rules and schedule (thanks to Judy for the files) but for the time being, consult the official rules if you have any questions. Don't assume the scoring on fanball is correct yet.

      Wed, Aug 13, 2008, 13:25
I sent out an email today. Some people may not have been checking the boards (even though everyone should be doing so periodically). I'll wait until tomorrow for dreamin to make his selection. If he doesnt by tomorrow I'll assign him the highest available slot and we'll move on. Then on friday when we start picking, If he still hasn't shown up, then we'll consider replacing him. I'm confident it wont come to that. But since we have untimed picks over the weekend we have some room to figure it out. The one thing I do want to avoid is having to find a replacement after a pick has been made for that team. So that's really the point when it hits the fan in my estimation.

Your chances of getting in this year are pretty slim but if someone drops out you are second in line to fill the spot.
Also, you could try to get enough people to start a second AA league but that hasn't worked out in the past.

Russeldl, we've got a bit of time to figure this out, but we might as well start looking at it now since we're stalled anyways. What times are we going to be on the clock for the draft?
 
59russelldl
      ID: 466412420
      Thu, Aug 14, 2008, 01:26
The draft will open on Friday and the clock will start on Monday.
If for some reason we have to delay for a day or two it wouldn't be the end of the world. But all of the other RIFC leagues are on that schedule and I'd like it if we could be also.

I believe the clock will start monday at 7am and will be paused everynight from 1am to 7am. And its a 6 hour clock. I think that's how everyone is doing it. I'll double check before monday and let everyone know.

Also, I just checked my email and I received an email from Dreamin' so he should be checkin in and we'll be moving again.

correct, if you want to send me a queue you can and I wont open it until your pick (although you'll be well before me).
I'll open the draft as soon the order is set.

I'll be busy packing & driving tomorrow, so I'll choose the highest spot still available when my turn comes (10th if jaydog doesn't take it, otherwise 11th).

Per post 81.
Coldwater Coyotes and then slizz and we can get started.
Also, as a warning. I'll be without access until about 5pm this evening, so if the order is finished before then, the draft wont open until 5pm. Sorry.

This will be the drafting order then. Check back in later since russelldl should be opening an untimed draft once he gets a chance.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- LaDanian Tomlinson suffered what could be a giant setback today. Tomlinson left practice early to undergo an MRI on his left knee after twisting it awkwardly. New team owner, Promize, can rest easily, however. Someone in the AP just wanted to give him a friendly scare.

Well, not as harsh at what Clay is usually. :)

The good news is, your tied for first place right now in this league.

Well it's untimed so it's not all bad...

I'm going to be gone the rest of the day today and some of tomorrow. My Q is set for the first round but not for the second.

If it gets back to me I shouldn't be more than 8 hours to make my second pick, unless it gets back around to me tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll be back Sunday afternoon.

Something doesn't look right from last night... How could all those players timeout, if the clock was 6 hours?
