theres isn't any defensive of players. just teams. unless you want them??

here's the positions

1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
2 WR/RB
1 K
1 DEF

Corey:  W/R means you get your choice of an additional wideout or a Running back and i believe you get 2 defenses.  These are entire defensive units though not individual players.  Meaning you would take the Bears and get the whole teams defensive stats.  

Bowl, I think that is all you do.  I'm probably going to do the same thing.  The league I play in is completely different than yahoo and I've only done this yahoo thing once but I'm pretty sure that is how we did it.  I hope I'm right.

Thanks - I looked into it and it looks like your right - if you're not there it just picks from your list and fills in your positions.  My pathetic reason for non-attendence is that the draft in my other money league was changed.  I may be a loser, but I refuse to do 2 fantasy drafts at once.  I've been playing in the other one for years and it's a keeper league and there is a decent amount of $ on the line - so it won out, allthough I prefer the people in here.

We haven't really discussed a prize for our a peaceful little MMJ league.  My earlier suggestion was that all of the losers chip in for a couple of nice tickets to the winner's show of choice for the upcoming tour (assuming one will happen soon).  Honor system of course.

i like that idea of the tickets, thats great!

One more day!!!

Bowl of soup, you can do two at once!  We don't have to be the priority but i assured you that no one will down their nose at you.  unless you just want to focus on the other

I can dig the tickets thang.

I'll be good to go tomorrow at 6...

Has anyone done a Yahoo draft before?  Will they send another email with a link or do we just sing into our Yahoo accounts?  

I'm sure I'll figure it out, just so we all know.

From what I read on the site there, it said that I button will appear about an hour (i think) before the draft that says Enter Live Draft.  So I guess you'll log on to your account. It also recommended that you enter the draft 10 mintues go time.

Thank you much, sounds good.

I will be drafting all the Giants and suffering for it.

What determines the order of the draft?

[ManNamedTruth]

I've never done this before so i may have more questions to come. A couple years ago i won the football poll at work (i actually tied for first, tie breaker points and all, i would've gotten a bit more cash), i like picking winners in games but i'm not sure about this fantasy thing.

[corey]

My brother and I are new to this as well. (See my questions above)

There was a thing the other day that said that draft order will be picked randomly either 30 minutes or an hour before the draft. I can't remember which.

[.Walt]

yeah you can show up a half an hour before, and the draft order is random. i'm getting pumped!!

[corey]

Me too! I need to figure out some people to have on the bench. I haven't done that yet.

[.Walt]

if you're going to be at the draft, you really don't have to pre-rank your players. while drafting, they have all the players ranked for you, and also ranked by position. so its pretty handy.


the best part of not having a favorite team, is i can love all of the teams.

teams i dig: Bangles, Pats (Man crush on Randy Moss), Chargers, Chiefs, and Cardinals, Eagles.
teams i hate to see win: Bears, Bucs, Jets, Giants, Colts, and Dolphins


super bowl teams (not final) Eagles vs Pats ---winner--- Pats 31-27

Thanks, but the cave that we hold the draft in has no internet, so I'll just have to hope that my rankings do me right.  9 losers + 1 winner + $20 per loser = $180 = some very nice tix for the winner and a guest.  Just a thought.  Someone with a artistic bent should also devise some sort of very lame trophey for the winner.  Said trophey should make all involved question the artist's sexuality.

3 minutes until the order is revealed.

[corey]

Does anyone see the draft button yet?

[aMD]

it's almost go time!

where exactly do I need to be.  I'm sure I'll find I just don't want to miss the boat.  i still haven't seen the order. is it up?

[.Walt]

6th pick damn it!!!!!!!!

[aMD]

i just entered the live draft   ;D
