We will use rtsports.com again. I need to know who is playing this year. We had 10 teams last year, which is optimal. My opinion is 12 would be the max (otherwise we run out of starting RB's, we could push it to 14 but that would kind of suck.) League fee will stay at $50. The site costs $90, the rest will go into the prize pool.
Let's start to figure what day will work for a draft. For those who can't make it, it will be live on the internet so you can sit at home and draft.
Those that played last year. The league is set-up. (Except we need to add and delete teams) Just go to rtsports.com Our Account ID is TOYOTA. The password is what you used last year. If you forgot your password it will e-mail it to you.
We will be doing a serpentine draft.

I'm playing and am flexible on the draft day. Though stay away from sat/sun if possible. A friday would be good.
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
I am flexable also. Just let me know and I can bring home the projector.
Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
I also think we should change the scoring options some. I like the idea of having yardage performance scoring components. But the bonus stuff seemed a bit over weighted last year.
For example wasnt it like 1 pt per 25yards reciving and 3 bonus points for over 100 yards so the difference between 99 yards and 100 yards was 3 and 7 points?!?!
Same thing with running yardage and passing yardage. I liked the kicker scoring last year though.
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
We can change it. I still want bonus points but we can lower it from 3.
Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
I'm in...just let me know when and where.
Posted by Mikey (Member # 42) on :
If there is room for me I would like to join this league. A sat. night or sun. day would be better for draft day for me. Prefer not sun the 29th though cause thats my auction draft at work.
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
If everbody from last year plays and Eric and Mike join we will have 12 teams. Is anybody from last year not playing. I know Jerry and Chad Steiger are playing. Hauser find out if Barney is playing. Someone find out about Trany. What about Joe??
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
Regular season starts Thursday, Sep 9. We need to have the draft before then. That gives us several weekends still to do the draft.
Posted by Trany (Member # 31) on :
We can take half an hour or an hour before the draft to review the scoring, I want to keep the 2 games a week, if anyone isn't opposed to it.
Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
When you're setting up your roster do you put a check box in everyone NOT starting to be a Tie-Breaker, or just one player per position?
Thanks
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
I think it's just your starters. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1Def... Not sure on tie breakers......
Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :
Klaus is correct. Startes get check boxes next to them under lineup. You need to have 2 RB and 2WR as starters or your roster will not be complete.
Good luck this season guys Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
So you don't need to check anyone for tie breakers?
Posted by Mikey (Member # 42) on :
Not that it's going to make any difference for all of you, but in the name of good sportsmanship I want to wish you all good luck. If you check the lineups you can clearly see my team is far superior to any of your teams.
If you would like to save yourselves a lot of pain and anguish I can provide you with my savings account routing and account number now and Brad can just wire me the money. That way you can all just forget this even happened and start studying for next years draft.
Again, Good Luck
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
Just talked to Brad - I guess he dosen't have the tie breaker feature enabled. So don't worry about it.
Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :

I checked the lineups as I'm first to face off against you....I'm not afraid.
Now I have a new reason to cheer for the Vikes: to watch them bowl over the Dallas D I''m playing aginst. Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
Okay, I forgot to get rid of the tie-breaker when I set up the league. It should be gone now. Ties are pretty rare in a performance league, (there are so many ways to get points), that I don't feel it is necessary to have to analyze your players sitting on the bench in the minute chance you actually are going to tie. Plus ties won't really affect us, 8 teams make the playoffs and we play double headers every week, so one tie really won't effect the standings much.
Also, lineups need to be in tonight for players playing tonight (Colts and Patriots) all other players can be added and removed until gametime on Sunday (EXCEPT TITANS AND DOLPHINS NEED TO BE IN BEFORE GAME TIME ON SATURDAY).
Good luck All!!

Also, don't forget to put your picks in!!
Go to NFL picks.
Don't have to do this but it is fun!
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
Just a reminder...All transactions(ADD/DROP)for the given week have to be completed by the FIRST game of the week. So for this week that would be today before game time.
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
Chad I am kickin your ass now! Tom Brady RULES!!!! Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
Yeah I was watching last night's game playing against BOTH Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrisson...with my only player being Vinatieri.
Hey Mike, how many points are your RB and WR beating my kicker by? 1?
Hauser's probably kicking himself for leaving Dallas Clark on his bench.
Anyway, that's exactly what I was thinking last night Klaus: "Holy shit, who's got Brady?!" Shame about that one interception...that would've been a stellar game.
Go Vikes!
Klaus, we still drinking at your place on Sunday?
Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
And I left Deion Branch on the bench! Doh! Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
Yeah, Sunday is on. I will have the laptop on with the scores for FF on them refreshing as usual....
I saw the game was on last night and totally spaced that Brady was playing and flipped right by it. Watched Trump instead Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
NEVER! UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE DENVER BRONCOS!!!!
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
I told you that was going to happen last night
Nice game!
Posted by flamingoamyjo (Member # 93) on :
God Damn Denver! You beat me by 9 points Chad!! All I needed was Gonzo to CATCH a few of those throws!!!
At least i'm still kickin' tranny's ass!
Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
Champ Baily RUINED Tony's night and was all over the place (and people thought denver was crazy for trading portis away )
Posted by Trany (Member # 31) on :
Go Stephen Davis go, not like that will help with my 42 point defecit to AmyJo. Wow my team sucked the big one this week.
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
Hey, can everbody update there e-mail address on rtsports. It is under teams > my information.
Thanks.
Posted by Mikey (Member # 42) on :
I guess picking up the Lions defense made me look like a genious!
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
That will make two weeks in a row I get beat in large part by a defense Posted by Mikey (Member # 42) on :
I don't know what you are talking about... I bet you win our matchup tonight!
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
Add/Drop transactions were accidently set to Thursday morning. I switched them to Wednesday morning, so they should be available now for those who want to make roster changes.
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
For those going to the cabin this weekend, DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR LINE-UPS IN BEFORE YOU LEAVE!!!
Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :
Nice job Eric on getting Stokely. I fucked up my own waiver wire rules and let him fall all the way to you. You Bastard!!

Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
Well, thanks!
I doubt he'll have a good week again...but we'll see...
Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
Well another season gone south in a hurry for me. It is dumb luck that I have won any games at all. All of my sleeper picks have gone south. All of my stars are either hurt or performing WAY below standards. Only thing that has saved me has been some anomilous single week performances from mediocer assholes.
And for god sakes i am not going to make the mistake 3 years in a row of scofing at Michal Pittman. A few legal troubles does not reduce the value of a very good almost top tier running back.

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

M. Vick 5$
Deuce McAllister 10$
Isacc Bruce 5$
Santana Moss 3$
R. Wayne 2$
Daniel Grham 3$
L.J. Smith 2$
J. Elam 5$
Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :
Ill trade you for deuce. Propose something not ridiculious. You know I am partial to him.
Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
No, see, I am trying to make my 50$ back. Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
I'll give you $10 for Deuce
Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
And...what do you say?
You still want to get rid of him?
Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :
Chad won't make a trade. Nobody trades with the first place team!!! Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
I was just whining.
Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :
Doh!
GO ARTOSE PINNER! Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :
Brad, Please approve my trade or put up a poll. I would like to know if its a go or not before this weeks games...
Trade was
He offered Marshall Faulk Laveraneus Coles FOR Javon Walker
I countered with Javon Walker FOR Ahman Green
He accepted...
Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
His computer is broken at the moment - I talked to him on the phone. Sounds like he will probably approve it.......
Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :
The library has free internet access?!?
Why doesn't he take a trip down to the Klaus computer factory and get an upgrade? Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :
Plenty of free Pentium II motherboards / processors available........ (I even have Chad's Duron back after it failed in a co-workers computer)
Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :
He got on and approved the trade. I now have two first rate BUST starting RB's. Barlow and Green are both considered busts this year so hopefully one of them steps up... I am pretty certain Javon Walker will still keep catching TD's for his new owner Don't be suprised if he doesn't make a pitch to get Bubba Franks from you Klaus. he wants the whole Packers team...
Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
