now where do i go to the draft? its not lettin me see it for some reason

8/24/2008 7:39:59 PM

ernie, you need to switch it back to a live draft, its set as an autodraft right now

because the 30 minute window for the live draft was missed....

8/24/2008 7:40:04 PM

It says its an autopick draft

ernie you need to go in and change it

8/24/2008 7:40:14 PM

Yeah, I just saw that

I have no fucking clue why it's set to auto draft. It's not happening tonight. I'm going to temporarily change the time and date and we can decide on something that's good for everyone.

Sorry for fucking this up, I've been busy.

8/24/2008 7:40:41 PM

youre killing me man

I skipped out on pool tonight for this

8/24/2008 7:41:50 PM

it switched to an autodraft because the league wasnt set with 12 teams within that 30 minute window

is there no way you could switch it back to a live draft??

8/24/2008 7:42:06 PM

^^ Sorry, guy

^ No, I guess there weren't any more times available. I changed it to this coming Tuesday at 7pm.


[Edited on August 24, 2008 at 7:43 PM. Reason : ]

8/24/2008 7:42:15 PM

so is the draft in 15 minutes or is it on Tuesday?

8/24/2008 7:43:17 PM

dammit oh well

[Edited on August 24, 2008 at 7:43 PM. Reason : x]

8/24/2008 7:43:17 PM

word

I thought there might be a way to switch it back once the teams were set as long as we were all there before the set draft time.

8/24/2008 7:44:01 PM

It's Tuesday at 7pm, 10 is too late for me

Yeah, sorry again, I boned this one. Today was my seventh consecutive day of work, I'm a little burnt out. It should be smooth sailing from here.

[Edited on August 24, 2008 at 7:45 PM. Reason : ]

8/24/2008 7:44:15 PM

tuesday 7pm, lets stick with that

8/24/2008 7:45:44 PM

yeah I was wondering what happened, just as well, I had another draft going tonight

8/24/2008 8:11:20 PM

can you delay the draft an hour and start it at 8:00?

[Edited on August 26, 2008 at 1:41 PM. Reason : yo]

8/26/2008 1:41:10 PM

I dont think you can switch around times that easily

yahoo only has a limited number of open time slots, so unless the 8pm time slot happens to be open tonight, I doubt he can change it

I could be wrong though, but I think thats how it works

8/26/2008 1:52:01 PM

drod is right

Either way, it's been moved around enough. We're drafting at 7pm tonight, come hell or high water.

8/26/2008 1:53:55 PM

i'll be in at 6:55

8/26/2008 3:31:13 PM

Draft was super gay, only like 4 people were there

Last free league I'll ever do

I'll still do relatively well as always, but theres really no joy in beating an unmanned opponent

8/27/2008 6:10:55 PM

I thought I did a lot better this year in the draft than I did last year. I think if all goes well, I might get in. I played well late last year, but I got into such a big hole early. I think I went 1-3 or 0-4 last year at the beginning. I think if I start 2-2, I'll be in good shape.

8/27/2008 6:39:52 PM

Figured this would be a good spot to ask this question, we are having a debate a bunch of us about to do our draft on points for kickoff/punt returns for tds.

I said that defenses shouldn't get any points for return tds/punts because the player will get the points. others argued that both the player and defense should get points for a return(I think that is giving double points for the same thing) plus I don't think that special teams and defense are the same. The other option is give the defense the points, the return yards to the player, but no td points for the player. I've done a lot of leagues but this is just something I never really think about..thoughts?

8/27/2008 6:42:17 PM

if you have the player, go for it, give him the points, if you have the D, same thing

i say give it to them all

its not exactly the same thing...say you have a QB and a WR both who scored a TD, they both get points...why not give your D and the man credit? its basically the same thing.


and I HATE my QB and WR's

8/27/2008 6:51:23 PM

Its not really the same thing

When a QB throws a td pass, him and the receiver are both credited with a TD in their separate statistical records

When someone takes a punt back for a score, only that one player is credited with a TD

By giving that respective defense fantasy points as well, you've essentially doubled the total point value of that touchdown for fantasy purposes

Team defense's aren't individual players, but function as such in the fantasy realm

who needs a QB? I need a RB

I saw one team starting JT O'Sullivan and another team starting Matt Ryan

Kurt Warner would be a huge upgrade if you have an RB to trade.
