    Am open on the draft date at the moment, might be worth putting up a poll closer to the time to see what suits people so we get as many as possible in the live draft?

    Yea, its best to put a poll up to find the best time to suit all. I'm going to create the league over the weekend and start getting the invites out. I'll know more on the invitation process once I create the league so watch this space...

    The two keeper league drafts are on March 26 and 30 so the 25th works there. 25th is Fine for me. Cheers for setting this up Coeus.

    Hey guys, I'm seeing 12 teams registered for the league. Currently there is a schedule in place for everyone to play each other twice (22 week season) followed by a 3 week postseason.

    I have set up a poll so we can decide on a draft date and time. I'll leave it open for the week and see what we come up with...

    To give an indication of how long a draft might take, I just completed a 12 man draft where all players were present. It took just over 90 minutes...

    Come on guys, only 6 responses so far to the draft poll.
    Get your votes in so we can have a draft that gets most amount of people in.

    Yea, at the moment 2 times suits all 6 who have voted, thats Thurs 22/3 @ 10 pm and Mon 26/3 @ 10 pm. If it stays like this I'll set the draft for the latter as its closest to the start of the season...

    Can I join the non-keeper league?

    At the moment the max teams set to 12 and those places have been filled. Its going to be a head-to-head league so an even number of teams is needed for the league.

    Somebody else PM'd me wanting in so he still wants to play then sure you can join. I'll PM him now. Otherwise we'll need to recruit from here.

    Draft is provisionally set for March 26th @10 PM so there is plenty of time.

    Hey Mike, if the non-keeper ends up being full we have room in the first-year keeper league if you're interested.

    You get any good ideas on team to support?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,287 ✭✭✭padraig_f


    I'd like to play as well. I've only watched one baseball game before (game 7 of last year's World Series), but was planning to watch more this year. I'll suck, but thought it would help me get into the game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Well now we have even numbers

    Can me and padraig join so?

    Nice one, the more the merrier lads


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭BigBadRob83


    Is someone still left to sign-up lads? ONly see 13 in the league at the moment.

    Coeus - just wondering for the Head-to-Head scoring is it "H2H Each" (if you win a week 6 categories to 4 you're record is 6-4) or "H2H Most" (if you win a week 6 categories to 4 you're record is 1-0)?

    Cheers

    Its normal head-to-head which from the above is H2H each. Yahoo uses different terms as 'H2H Most' is called 'Head-toHead one win' in Yahoo. All the league types are explained here.

    I prefer this type of head-to-head league as even if your having a bad week you can still get some points...

    Thanks man. Yeah it's much better than the 'one-win' type, just wanted to check before finalising my draft board. Not that it will make massive impact

    Looking forward to it, have the draft board set and waiting on randomised draft order (apparently 30 mins before) to see what we're looking at.

    Game On!

    Yep, the draft order is randomised so we wont know where we are picking until it opens which is 30 mins before. I advise using Firefox as the Yahoo Live draft app works best with that...

    Oh, the league has 14 players signed up. The number has be even to run a head-to-head league. I thought you had signed up since we are 'full' for the last week :confused:

    I can go to 16 but we will need another player before 9.30 tonight...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1

    I didnt check the teams but my guess is that he did as he never posted here to say he couldn't get in.That said I originally sent out t league invite to 16 player so maybe one of those signed up. Did you try to sign up when I sent t PM as there was a space for a few days, think one of t guys posted about it?
