Boards PPR League Thread

Masked Man

I'm back as well.

fisgon

Meant to ask, when you are confirming participation for this year, can you please include your team name too? I think I have all the names but it helps to be clear.

Thanks

What I have so far (correct me if I´m wrong) is

TO - Owls/Lions
Spongey - the obvious
Boccy - Dangerous Rebels
Syferus - Vanilla Thrillas
Masked Man - Mud dogs
Fisgon - Pick Sixes

barbarians

I'm back for this year - Donoughmore Dynamos

Syferus

I've set this up again, as far as I can see if you were in last year then you can just go to the league home page again, sign in and continue. Link here..

Anyone have any trouble, you can let me know.

Syferus and TO have already expressed an interest to rejoin. If people from last year want to continue, please post here to confirm. Thanks.

(PS I'll leave talk of setting the draft time until later, maybe let the main boards leagues set theirs first and try to find a time in between.)

That's one way to put it, I guess.

You've got my team right, btw.

I'm going to give this a miss this season as I'm trying to cut down on the amount of leagues I'm in.

padraig_f

I'm back - Gummi Bears.

Dodge

The Inchicore Warriors and me are back

eagle eye

I'm back as well.

bit of red72

I'd like to join if there's a spot still there.

fisgon

Ok, so 10 people have confirmed from last year and are continuing. One, Adrian522 is not going ahead, and I'm just waiting for Saintron to get in touch. I have PMed him and emailed him and have heard nothing. I'll give him until Friday, by which time we need to finalise players.

Bit of red72 can take Adrian's spot. There might be another spot in the league available if Saintron doesn't get in touch, so people are free to post here if interested.

fisgon

Ok, so I have given Saintron until the end of today to get in touch. It doesn't look like he's going to continue. So we have 11 confirmed...

Fisgon
T.O.
Spongey
Eagle Eye
Masked Man
Boccy
Syferus
Barbarians
PadraigF
Dodge
Bit O red72

Which means we will in all likelihood have a free place in the league, unless Saintron gets in touch in the next 9 hours. First to post here gets it.

Thanks for the reply, you're first on the waiting list. (In fairness no-one was going to beat Darklighter. He replied literally within 60 seconds of my posting on the FF main thread advertising the free place).

fisgon

We had some difficulties organizing the draft time last year, mainly as it clashed with other Boards drafts. With this in mind I propose that we draft early this year, either on the Tuesday the 27th, Wednesday the 28th or Thursday the 29th. This will be before the standard Boards leagues draft.

Please go to the poll here....

...and enter your preferences, along with your Boards name. Thanks.

If there's any possibility of a space cropping up, stick me on the waiting list...

Ok, though I reckon we are full now. You could always try and start up a new league.....

fisgon

Nine people have replied to the poll about the draft time and date. Only Syferus, Boccy and Spongey left. I'll leave it open until Sunday evening, by Monday we need to have a draft time confirmed.

Sorry, forgot about that poll, just voted

padraig_f

Just a thought...with two people wanting in, is it possible to go to 14 teams? Tbh, I think I'd prefer that over 12.

Personally I prefer the 12 team format. Most of us are already in 16 team Boards leagues, I like the fact that a 12 team league provides a bit of variety.

Draft poll is now closed. There were two joint most popular times, 10pm on Tuesday the 27th, and 10pm on Wednesday the 28th, both with 10 votes out of 11.

I think we can agree that the closer the draft is to the start of the season the better, there is more of a chance that we can have info about injuries, depth charts, etc. With that in mind the PPR league draft this year is at 10pm on Wednesday August 28th. Hope we can all make it.

Just tell me who you want and I'll draft for you

Draft on Wednesday, looking forward to it.

Question about waivers...I think it was set to be processed at 4am or something last year. Is it possible to change this to a European-friendly time (e.g. 11pm Irish time)?

Couple of reasons why...
At a time like 4am, it's a bit confusing what day it's on, e.g. if it says 4am, Wednesday, actually you have to make your waiver claims on Tuesday.

Other thing is I just think it would be more fun to be able to check the waiver results at a time when you're awake, instead of them being processed overnight, and finding out the next day.

Changing to 11pm Irish time shouldn't inconvenience US-based people either, as it would be 6pm ET there.

Not sure if it's a configurable option, but think it's worth changing if we could.

Hopefully you can make it. Maybe find an internet cafe somewhere, log on for an hour.

I had a look at this, it's not an option to change this on the League page. I think it is just a default setting for all ESPN leagues. Nothing I can do I'm afraid.
