I am going to get this thread going early this year so we don't have anybody saying they missed signups.
Guru has offered to run the spreadsheet (assuming there are minimal changes to last year's).
Last year we had 8 teams per GMD team. I am inclined to stick with that, although as many as 10 can work. Let's wait and see how signups go first.
Once again we will have managers. I am going to take 1 of the 4 teams again. I loved having a team and I want to defend our title. I am gonna leave the other 3 teams up for grabs right now.
If you want to play please list the following information:
Gurupie Name:
Team Name:
Team ID #:
Interested in being a GMD Team Manager:
In the past team ID #'s could be accessed by right clicking on your team name on your division page and choosing properties. It should say something about an ID # there. I haven't bought my teams yet because I am holding out for a 3 team package. |

Right clicking on your team name doesn't give you a team ID that I can see. If someone figures out how it works, I'm in.

Farn,
If at all possible could you place the following 8 teams on the same GMD team? You could designate one team as the manager. If not, please place teams on different GMD teams. If you can't do either, thanks and please forget.

......#33 it is a snake draft with the 4 managers to select teams to answer the other question.
are all those teams run by different people. if they were it wouldn't defeat the point of the game nesseccarily.
i don't blame FARN for still disallowing it though.

keep the signups coming
I've decided on a schedule for the GMD based on a suggestion from a fellow Gurupie.
Because we have a ton of unknown managers signing up its best if we give people a chance to prove their skills. So the first couple of weeks will allow managers to get their feet wet. It also will allow Guru to tinker with his spreadsheet if necessary.
So here's the schedule:
11/24 - 12/7
12/8 - 12/21
12/22 - 1/4 (this way managers can make changes before Xmas and after New Years)
1/5 - 1/18
1/19 - 2/1
2/2 - 2/15
2/16 - 3/8 (this is three weeks to compensate for all the games lost around the All Star game)
3/9 - 3/22
3/23 - 4/5
4/6 - 4/20
I will have the 3 other managers picked soon. Signups for GMD will close NOVEMBER 11TH. That way we can begin to track every team.
If you have a suggestion to make please feel free. farney(at)yahoo(dot)com
Oh, and if anyone knows how to get in touch with Gurupie "jeff" please let me know. He's the guy who wanted to sign up over and over again last year after the deadline and I would like to give him a chance to do so before signups end.

This team is listed with Dr. D. as the owner, but I manage it, so it is not two teams run by the same person. If that isn't OK, I understand. I played last year as Robert 4 (I think that's the team I had in the GMD).

Hey Farn,
With so many new people as you have pointed out, do you think there is any value in explaining what GMD is/all about. If there are new people do they really know what they have signed up for? Then again, maybe everyone knows what GMD is already.
Thanks again and have a great day,

GMoney, it never occured to me people would sign up for a league not even knowing what it was about.
But anyway, here are the rules:
The league is scheduled to start on the 24th. My thought is to have the draft starting Saturday the 20th. Gives us 4 days and allows us to work around people having things to do on the weekend. It will be a slow draft conducted on the board. Each manager (smallwhirled, Piccolos, Gary Dotson, and myself) will choose 7 other teams along with our own to complete his squad. He must draft his own team (even if it stinks).
The idea of the league is to try to have the 8 teams on your roster put up as many points as you can over the 2 week period. Whichever team has the most for that stretch wins the session. Typically winning a session is good but the team that scores the most points for the full season is seen as the winner.
The schedule for the league is posted above. Each session will end on a Tuesday. Wednesday morning I will post a new thread to allow managers to make moves. The manager can make no more than 2 moves at a time. He can also choose to make 0 or 1 move. That's up to him based on how he thinks his team is doing. So you could be drafted originally and dropped 2 weeks later if you aren't performing. On the other hand you may not get drafted right away but you could be picked up what we call "waivers" if your team is doing well.
Typically each team has their own thread here on the board in which they can discuss strategy and ask for/give help. Participation is very important. You don't necessarily have to reveal your strategies but we do appreciate peole being active.
I will draw names from a hat to determine the draft order. If somebody notices I missed somethign let me know.
Signups end tomorrow night at midnight (or whenever I wake up Saturday morning).

ah, my bad, one thing I apparently forgot to put anywhere in this thread:
This is a game for Ultimate owners only. I think you are playing D. Dawkins.

ah, I am a couple of days late but whatever...
SIGNUPS ARE NOW CLOSED
The draft will begin this Saturday (20th). It will be a slow draft in the Standings forum that will probably be finished by Monday night or Tuesday morning. The league starts a week from this Wednesday.

Having my usual slow start. In the unlikely event anyone is tempted to take my team on the initial draft, I need to disclose my trip to Australia starting 2nd week in Dec through the rest of the month. Don't know how much access I will have, so I may end up accumulating trades. Which given how well I have used them so far, may be my best strategy...
You may want to give my team another look in January.
