Randombobman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Well guys with the NBA season nearly here, it's about time to get our draft done. This is mostly for Helios, Fenrir, Emu and beast, but we still have 2 openings that we need to fill out before the draft. I should also mention that this is a bit of a split league. There are two divisions, once is SF members thus far, and the other is a casual PS3 gaming clan I'm also a part of. It's a 12 team league, so depth will present a nice entry level challenge. This is mostly a for fun league, the majority of players are doing so for the first time. As of now, I'm planning on having the draft sometime this weekend. Ideally saturday or sunday night. Post what times you are available but keep in mind the season starts tuesday, so monday night would be the absolute latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Pronoun Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm in and anytime at night during the week or weekend would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Saturday or Sunday night should be fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Oh and I should mention that it's on ESPN. It's a standard Head to Head points 12-man league. Two divisions (I can add more if this thing blows up over the next 2 days), one Serenes Forest, one Killing in Progress. Roser is as follows: Point Guard Shooting Guard Small Forward Power Forward Center Guard Forward Utility Utility Bench x 6 Injury Report x 2 Scoring is as follows: Points: 1 Field Goals Made: 1 Rebounds: 1 Assists: 1.5 Steals: 1.5 Blocks: 1.5 Three Pointers Made: 1.5 Free Throws Made: 1.5 Three Pointers Missed: -1 Free Throws Missed: -1 Turnovers: -1 Double Double: 4 Triple Double: 9 Quadruple Double: 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Pronoun Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm just wondering if the schedule is right because it says I have 19 byes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 what the fuck... where are you seeing this? I'll re-check the schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 When is the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Tentatively scheduled for Sunday at 10PM Eastern time. Unfortunately ESPN leagues don't allow you to draft until all roster spots have been confirmed. I'm still waiting on phoking beast to confirm his team as well as one person from another site in the other division. If neither confirms by Sunday at 2PM Eastern, I'm cutting the last team in each divison and making it 5 and 5 respectively. Seeding may not be as pretty, but I can't afford to delay the draft any further with the NBA season starting Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 phoking beast still hasn't responded to the invite. The last spot is now open to anyone. First come first serve, I can't wait any longer with the draft happening tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just take out the last two spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Can't, the last guy in my division finally showed up. He's in for cereal, so we have to fill the last slot. But don't worry, I just got a guy. We're good to draft tonight. Is anyone going to not be able to make it? Shooting for 9PM eastern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau of Isaac Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have wondered this since I was ten years old. How the hell do fantasy football/basketball/baseball things work? I've always heard people talking about it, but never learned what these people mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Depends on the sport, but scoring is based off the players stats IRL. If a running back gets 100 rushing yards (10 points in fantasy) and a rushing touchdown (6 points in fantasy) IRL, he'll get you 16 points in fantasy for example. There's a lot more to it of course, but that's kinda how things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 So I'm trying get a trade done with a guy in my league. It's only 8 teams with standard ESPN roster (QB, RBx2, WRx2, TE, Flex, D/ST, Kicker) plus seven bench slots. Several guys aren't even active most of the time but the rest of us trade a lot. This guy has had the worst run of luck out of all 8 leagues he's in and he't open to trading anyone depending on the trade. His team is really stacked at the top of his positions but very little depth. He has lost a lot of players to injury including Greg Jennings, Danny Amendola, Jimmy Graham and Fred Jackson. He also traded away several solid backs to me in Darren Sproles and Doug Martin Anyway, neither of us is interested in QBs and I'm set at TE with Gronk so it comes down to WRs and RBs. He's got Ray Rice, Alfred Morris, Mikel Leshoure, Fred Jackson and Felix Jones (lol) at RB while Percy Harvin, Reggie Wayne, James Jones, Miles Austin and Denarius Moore comprise a really loaded WR list. Meanwhile I've got Stevan Ridley, Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin, Rashard Mendenhall and handcuffs Jonathon Dwyer and Rashad Jennings rounding out an interesting group of RBs. WR is cake with A.J. Green, Jordy Nelson, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Brandon Lloyd and Josh Gordon. I'm proposing to send him Lynch, Gordon and Jennings in exchange for Morris, Wayne and Moore. I feel like I'm asking a lot with this trade, though I want all three equally badly, I'd pass on Moore first, which I think is what it will come too. Of course he still hasn't clarified whether he has any interest in the oft-injured Mendenhall or the solid second option Brown, I think he might just not want to do a 3-for-3 at this point.

Helios Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 >Fantasy Basketball thread >Posts potential fantasy football trade Well you're the OP so I guess it doesn't really matter. Chances are you won't be able to get Moore as well get Leshoure instead. Uhh what if you tried just Morris and Harvin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randombobman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nah, I think I"m in five, two Yahoo and three ESPN. I just wish the future line up function worked, or even SHOWED UP ffs. It's a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 That's really weird that yours doesn't show up. I've never had that problem. Are you sure you're not just doing something simple wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I don't know. I mean, maybe it's a glitch with the league managers? But that can't be right because I'm not in the other two leagues I'm in and have the same problem. IDK, I didn't have this problem at all last year.

Helios Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm a league manager in two leagues on ESPN and I don't have that problem, so that's not it. Have you tried contacting ESPN and asking why it's doing that? Or is it an "insider" problem lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
