Ahh cool. Weekends are best for me, but most evenings should be ok.

Jeff - I can access the league but I didn't receive any e-mails when you re-activated the league. Just wanted to let you know.

Okay, I just set up the draft format and I believe you will get a notice of that. I have allowed pick trades this year to see if anyone is daring enough to trade up for picks.

Alright, we are going strong now. Vicki and Brent are now fielding teams.

For the record, it should be known that not only do I have no idea of what I'm doing, I also can't think of the name of any current pro player. Let the games begin!

That is okay, Dinny only plays Jet's players, Nate has his wife run his team and Brent thinks this is Fantasy Soccer. You will do well.

Hooray Vicki and Viva La Mexico Brent!

Don't worry about what you're doing.....I suggest picking up a draft magazine, that will help a lot.

There are draft magazines?

I think I'm going to go for the pick blindly and almost randomly approach. If I like the name of a player, that's the one I'll choose.

If you still need another player I'm in, just let me know how much and when the draft is. Also how much do I win in the end?

Send me an e-mail via PM. We still have a bit of time to accept members. Everyone should go to the League page and vote on whether you want the draft the week after preseason game 3 or the week after preseason game 4.

Jeff, where's the poll/survey for draft date/week? I couldn't find it when I logged in earlier.

It's on the League page in the right hand column

Weird, it's there now. I swear it wasn't there before.

I can see the poll but I cannot vote and I'm positive I haven't voted yet. Any idea why?

Edit:

NVM, I was signed in by my cookies but I had to do a hard sign-in to be able to vote.

Yeah sometimes that gets screwed up. Usually you can go back later and it will show up all of the sudden. You can also just post your preference here.

Team Hockey is Better is now ready to go with Ivan the cat as the second owner.

All Right, we added three new teams from last year so far; Team Them Devil Foosballers, Team Hockey is Better and Team Blows Goats.

Welcome.

Jeff, for the returning people, do you need us to drop our old payers before the draft?

No that will be done automagically when the draft is approaching. Most of the votes are leaning towards having the draft on the week after the 3rd game which would be some time between Monday 8-30 and Wednesday Sept 1. Kind of a narrow gap. Would most people want to do it during the week in the evening or would weekends work better for people?

FWIW, I voted for after 3rd preseason game mostly so that'll give us a week and half if need be before the season starts.

As for preference for the draft date, I'm not available on Thursday nights but other weekday evenings(~8.30 pm onward on Wednesday) as well as weekend should work fine for me, assuming I've ample notice.

Any night would work for me but I'd prefer to avoid Sunday night as the local League I join every year might draft on that same weekend.

Jeff, do you need any more players/owners? I am sort of in the same boat as Vicki; I don't really know any current players and make pick someone based on their name, and I have never played a fantasy sport but I am interested. I may also be out of the country a couple of weeks of the fall with limited internet access... don't know if that matters.

Shelly, I am about to give up on Sherwood as it appears he is not going to return for season two so that would mean I need at least two players, you and audiosceptic. We can certainly add more if anyone is interested or if Sherwood decides to return.

I'm in. Just let me know the league website and when the draft is. I'm pretty much open to any night or weekend.

Ok, cool. Do I get to pick a team name?
