Time to start it up again. I'd try and put the league together myself...but whoever did it last year set it up really well, so I'll wait and hope that whoever it was does it again. Let us know if/when you do...
I'm getting the league ready right now. How many forwards and defensemen could each team have last year? Other settings I'm putting in for now, can be changed upon demand. 20 Players Total 2 Starting Goalies 8 Starting Forwards 6 Starting Defensmen 4 Bench 2 IR Spots More details to come in the next ten minutes.
Here we go: League Name: Big Soccer Hits The Ice To Register: League Number: 39990 Password: autoicing First 19 teams to sign up get in (I'm # 20). Any questions about the league settings or whatever, post em, PM them, whatever you choose. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. A new twist this year, shorthanded points is a category. It will be autodraft. I'd like to run the draft at 10 am EDT On Sunday, October 6. Therefore, it would rock if we had all teams in three days before (Yahoo setting to get draft run). To rank players: "We have set default player rankings for you, but suggest you personalize them to your liking. All league members can begin pre-ranking players as soon as they want by simply going to the Fantasy Hockey home page and clicking on their team name."
D'oh! I forgot to put a link to get there. All you'll need is a Yahoo ID: http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey
I just signed up. MetroRangers. Maybe having the names of two pitiful franchises in the name will counteract each other and make them a winning team! JMac
G-Town Cannibals know what to do, even if the opponent is superior. Btw, does anyone think that it might be a problem that there is no ice-surface in G-Town?
I'm in (Ranger Team Sucking). (Ranger fan, just still pissed at the organizaiton). One problem. You can't have 20 teams with 2 starting goalies. That's 40 goalies, and 40 goalies don't get regular time. I was in this position last year, where I didn't end up with 1 goalie who started regularly and I had no chance in the league because no matter how well my offense played, my goalies didn't get games and with the Yahoo rules if your goalie doesn't get games you basically lose automatically. They changed the rule halfway through the season, by which point I was already 7-30-5 or whatever. Just a thought.
Good point jamison. I'm about 95% sure I'll change that later today. I set this up in about 15 minutes before rushing off to the bar for NFL, so I may have messed up a detail or two. Thanks for bringing it up.
Whirlwind Whalers are set for another season where everyone oohs and aaahs at my draft picks, then the team ends up sucking for most of the season.
Its the same old same old situation Its the same old same old ball and chain A line from an old Motley Crue song, but the message is, still 9 more people can join.
Ok, I just signed up. I'm "Another Long Season", as in another long season for the Rangers. I'll probably be going through 40 name changes. Anyway, BRING IT ON!!!! My yahoo id is khechapar.
Still 8 teams left. Log in, click on your own team's name, to Pre-rank players. You can pre rank as many as you want, I ranked 1-30. Just over a week until the draft.
