I have set up a Keeper League on ESPN. Right now I'm thinking normal three year keeper league, but it can last longer, or shorter.

It will consist of 8 teams, but if there is more interest, I can add owners. There will be 2 divisions. As with the NFL you will play the teams in your division at least twice.

In order to sign up, I need your email address to send out an invite. If you don't want to post it, PM me, and I'll delete the PM after I send the invite out.

FYI: Roster and scoring can/will be altered if necessary, feel free to make any suggestions.

Errr..how do we like pick people?

[Austin]

Like last year, UK. I'm in already. (American Thunder)

[UK Legend Killa]

So wheres the bit where you choose the priority of your draft picks?

[Darth Irish]

Sorry UKLK, had it set to offline draft, I will change it now, and you should be able to eset your rankings. Remember, the picks won't be made for another 6 weeks or so, so don't put them in concrete.

Also, if it's not letting you, ESPN may make us wait until th league is full. Right now its a 8 team league, and I've sent out 7 invites, so it should be full soon.

[Darth Lohr]

live draft or auto, irish?

[Darth Irish]

One more thing...

If anyone else (Primbud) wants in, I can put more teams in the league. I put it at 8 just as a round number. PLEASE let me know, and I'll create a spot for you at NO COST!!!

Ah Lohr my friend, it can be either depending on the rest of the league. I do not like auto, but we're all spread out and sometimes its difficult finding a time for all of us to do it, but if the league is up for live, I'm more than happy to do it.


Or, it's early enough, we can do the draft in the thread, and set a time limit on picks. For this, I would cap the league at no more than 10 teams, and I would need help running the draft. But it's definitely doable.

[Darth Lohr]

keeper league where you don't get total control over who you have? blech! too much on the line for an autodraft! if it's going to be live, i want in! if not...

I'll send the invite again. EDIT: I sent it to your hotmail address.

I have no problem doing it on the board, with UKLK in England, I think it would be hard to get a time that's good for him. But if no one has a problem with it, we can do a board draft, maybe 12-24 hours per pick for the rounds at first, then quicker when we get to the bench players.

[groove terminator]

still no luck even after trying all the invites that have been sent to me, i'm confused to what on earth is going on

i dunno if it has anything to do with coming from a hotmail account could it?

[UK Legend Killa]

I'm 8 hours ahead of Board time. So its 13:14 right now.

If we timed it right, which is hard enough with you guys spread across a country, nevermind me, it would work.

[Rock]

Rock's Heels are in there like skin wear.

ok, that brings me to my last question: just how early are we looking to draft? i mean, right now we're a long way from knowing all the starters in the NFL.

[UK Legend Killa]

I still can't find no damn Draft ranking thingy.

The draft should be done 4 weeks or so before the start of the seaosn I think.

[Lucas1138]

I'm up for a live draft, of a board draft whichever. Oh and how does it determine to order in which you pick?

[UK Legend Killa]

I knwo that I pick 7th, then 2nd, then 7th, then 2nd etc. Its on your team bits, click on the Draft Picks bar

[Primbud]

profprimbud@hotmail.com if it's still doable.

[Austin]

For a board draft, I thgink anywhere from a month or two away from the season will suffice. I would much rather have a draft in a thread than Auto for this league.

[Primbud]

Same here, and I think this might be fun - I've already had multiple people talk to me about it off Nightly.

[Austin]

Prim, speaking of Fantasy Football. Will there be another edition of NFLopoly?

I hope so, I didn't get in on that last year

[Primbud]

I hope to update NFLopoly yes. But first MLBopoly has to be resurrected.

[SuperDragonV2.1]

[Austin]

I think the IR spot should be 1 also. How many players/defenses do we keep from year-to-year?

I was thinking three, but maybe 2, this would also be left up to the league. I don't want to make too many unilateral decisions.

[Austin]

I think three would fit well. If I haven't cleared it up in my previous post, I'm fine with the scoring rules.

[SuperDragonV2.1]

I'm the Texas DDTers

[groove terminator]

alright i got in...finally!! say hello to the aussie kangaroos!

the scoring seems fine to me

[Austin]

You're going to wish the scoring was different after I beat you all.

[Primbud]

GACK!! Trash-talking's already begun!
