rog of the rovers Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Hey everybody, the fantasy baseball is back! There is a maximum of 14 teams this year so get your teams in as soon as possible. The league is a Head to Head with standard 5 x 5 scoring. To sign up to the league go to Fantasy Baseball enter your team details then join private league. League ID#: 95632 Password: rovers As for the draft, we mentioned maybe doing an online draft, which would mean everyone would have to be online at a certain time to do the draft, either that or you could leave your picks up to the computer who would choose the players based upon Yahoo's default rankings. or we could do as we did last year with an offline draft which would require everyone choosing one at a time, these drafts do take time so we'd have to start asap.

Redrose49er Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 or we could do as we did last year with an offline draft which would require everyone choosing one at a time, these drafts do take time so we'd have to start asap. I'm in, an online live draft is much quicker but I did enjoy the offline draft last year but it does take sooo long!
Eddie Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I'll also be starting a live draft keeper league if I can get enough people interested, so anyone who wants to be in just put your name down and we can start working on times. I personally prefer live drafts and can free up a couple hours for it fairly easily, so I'd be happy to see that happen for the BRFCS league as well.
Eddie Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I've joined rog, hopefully can make it all the way this year... I've got a league set up now on ESPN as well, which would only require a quick register for everyone to play. It runs free live scoring all season which is a plus. It's a bit different from the BRFCS normal league as it is a live auction draft (so everyone bids rather than having a draft order) and it has different categories (including a couple fielding categories as well as OBP rather than AVG, Holds and Total Bases). It's a 14 team league with two divisions, 3 teams from each division go to the playoffs. It's also a dynasty league, so your team from one season will carry over to the next and this will be the only time when every player in the league is drafted and from this season on their will be an auction supplemental draft on all rookies or players who were left on the wire. Let me know on here if you are interested. As the draft is live we have a while to get everyone in and it will allow everyone a while to work on their draft plans. Just to add, the categories are up for debate and I also have one guy who wants to change it from a dynasty to a keeper league, which I'm also up for. So if you are interested you'll also get a say on that. And I also don't mind making it rotisserie rather than head-to-head, although I prefer the latter.

rog of the rovers Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Come on guys!! Get your teams in!
rog of the rovers Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 No one interested this year?
ABBEY Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 been mad forgot about it...i will join in next two days
rog of the rovers Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone else interested? Presty? You've played before haven't you?
Eddie Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Is this going to be an auto-draft then? We don't really have time for the usual offline stuff. Or should we try and get a live draft going?
rog of the rovers Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 The live draft is scheduled for this Sunday at 1pm. To count for week one, the draft must be completed by Sunday 15th, presumably to give Yahoo a couple of weeks set up time. Thats why I'm pressing for numbers.
rog of the rovers Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah Ive sent emails out. Have you any friends that would be interested Lousada?
ABBEY Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 ive got my kids this weekend so ive no chance of being online ,i will have whatever im dealt
Oklahoma Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Sorry, ROg, don't think so. I'm the sport freak of my group... lol
Exiled_Rover Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I invited a friend to play as you were short of numbers. I hope that's alright.
Redrose49er Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The draft still going ahead as planned? I'm not sure it will run with 11 teams, needs an even number I think.
rog of the rovers Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Yeah with the late addition the draft cannot go ahead today. Therefore we'll try again next week. Sunday 15th March 2009 ~ 1pm GMT
