Guys, we have 2 teams available to be taken over in the Boards Keeper League, which is entering it's 4th year. Rules are that every year, you get to keep 4 of your players for the following year. If you take over a team, you get to select up to 4 players to keep. Team 1 includes the likes of Tom Brady, Dez Bryant, Kendall Wright and Russell Wilson amongst others, whereas Team 2 includes Cam Newton, Adrian Peterson, Julio Jones, Doug Martin and more.

Let me know who wants in (the teams will be randomly assigned).

How did I end up getting the team with Alex Smith, Knowshon Moreno, Rashad Jennings and Riley Cooper?

I doubt it's needed because Spongey is on top of things but just in case here's the settings:

Question for all commissioners,

Does every division offer points for ''fumbles recovered for a TD''?

I see on TO's screenshot that it's not listed in the scoring but wondering have all the leagues started doing it since 2012 when that screenshot was taken.

Is that not just defensive touchdowns worth 6pts?

No, in the offensive scoring section you can specify points for ''Fumble recovered for a TD''. Think it's default scoring in new leagues set up.

The image i posted never showed it but I am 100% sure it was always there from day 1 as it was a default setting in Fantasy.

I have noticed last night and in the ppr draft last monday that people were taking full 90 seconds to draft picking with 5 seconds remaining. Very frustrating. I'd be for it but there is plenty out there thats new and may need the full 90 secs

Unless people want to poll their own league for the change and go with the consensus?

I'd imagine the newer divisions will want 90 seconds.

Disagree, I like 90 seconds to make my pick, and I'm not a newbie either. Sometimes you can make it quickly, and I will, but other times you have a tricky decision and need the full 90 seconds.

90 seconds is fine. I think ESPN didn't set teams to autodraft when no one was picking for them whereas NFL.com does. That speeds things up

Also, of people are doing stuff to annoy you at drafts, then it might be part of their strategy :cool:

Also gives you some chance if you get a last minute crash of the draft client. At 60 seconds you have no chance of closing and recoving the client at 90 you might (although even with 90 seconds I failed to close and restart the client in time for one of my picks last night)

Im defo against changing to 60 seconds.

Unfortunately you're too late for the regular leagues. Perhaps manafana can sort you out with a place in the auction league?
