CBS Sports I think, and it wasn't a great setup to be honest. Not sure if there are other college fantasy options.
We also had all the divisions which I found a bit much.

I got an e-mail from CBS today about their college fantasy, it seems you are able to choose which conferences are in play. Which other websites do college fantasy?

Also, put me down as interested in a league if you guys are playing this year

Last year we played on CBS which was ok I think. Is everybody happy with that or do we want to move to another site?

UCD AFC is booked as first reserve if somebody pulls out.

I think CBS is fine, I just think our problems last year was no one was really sure of the time frames for the waiver wire but we got it sorted later in the season. I'd be happy to stick to CBS again, and for what it's worth, I was happy with the selection of conferences we had (all FBS).

The big problem last year was towards the end of the season when the schedules got more irregular, people weren't keeping an eye on the schedule and thus missing waiver / team-selection cut off times. CBS can't be blamed for that tbh.

Didn't we have an inactive team last year if Im not mistaken? UCD AFC could take that place.

Oh yeah thats right, the famous team 8 guy who signed up and then disappeared.

UCD AFC you are in, I'll get that sorted shortly and you should get an email. You need to pm me an email address first.

eagle eye · 03-07-2012 11:29PM

I sent out emails to everybody and we'll see who signs back up. I'll give it three weeks and then if there are spots available we can add people who want to join up.

On the divisions I think its fine the way it is. Theres less chance of a bad team making the playoffs and its good for a change from the normal format I think but this is a majorty rules thing so if people want to change it then thats fine.

Dont forget the waiver wire change that system last year was sh1te

make sure its set like the NFL ones right up until kick off.

UCD AFC · 04-07-2012 12:36AM

Are we stuck with the generic team names? :P Also what's up with the players that are currently on my roster? I take it these are just the leftovers until the draft comes along?

adrian522 · 04-07-2012 10:31AM

The problem last year was that the rules seemed to change mid season.

Towards the beginning of the year you could pick up free agents before the deadline and add them to your team. Somewhere during the season they seemed to introduce a waiver system where players had to clear waivers. This meant that if you wanted a player you had to wait a few days before he would clear waivers. However with the way games were scheduled there wasn't enough time to do this between the end of one week and the beginning of the next.

If that's going to be the case this year it makes a complete mess of the whole league in my opinion.

Secondly I'd like to see us reduce the number of divisions we are playing with. Last year we had all the divisions, which resulted in my team being full of players I'd never get a chance to see playing. I'd prefer to go with BCS only as it will give me some small chance to actually do some research and watch a few games and make some sort of informed decision. Last year it seemed like I was selecting players based on stats sheets only and it was as if the players weren't even real.

Just my thoughts anyway.

eagle eye · 04-07-2012 01:07PM

Having a bit of a look through the options and there seems to have been improvements.

You can pick your own team name now.

You can have the waiver wire period end when the first game starts in the week

or

You can have it that it ends when the first game on a Saturday starts.

There is other stuff too. So lets have a discussion about it when we get everybody signed up again.

Anybody who is interested in joining up put your name down here and if we have dropouts I will contact you and add you.

Xfire Elect · 04-07-2012 03:03PM

If someone drops out, I'd be delighted to fill in.

smackbunnybaby · 17-07-2012 03:32PM

i'd be intereseted as well guys....

JaMarcus Hustle · 06-08-2012 11:34PM

Guys should we not be drafting in the next couple of weeks here?

Yeah big time.

adrian522 · 07-08-2012 12:10AM

We still need to decide on the Waiver/walk on rule and also what divisions will be included.

Should be the same as the NFL ones.

Also setting your roster was a mess last year. Players should only lock for their own games coming up not the first game of the week again like the NFL one does it 5mins before kick off.

And all divisions should be included.

adrian522 · 07-08-2012 12:23AM

Well I'm happy to go with whatever is decided but last year was a mess with with the waiver period being longer than the time between gameweeks.

if the waiver period is 3 days and the last game ends on saturday, that only really leaves wednesday to set your team before the next gameweek starts on Thursday.

Looking on espn many gameweeks go Thursday-Wednesday.

Personally I'd prefer reducing the conferences but again I'll go with whatever the majority decides.

UCD AFC · 07-08-2012 01:52AM

I'd be happy enough with all conferences included, when does the season kick off for college ball?

adrian522 · 07-08-2012 08:42AM

Septmeber 1st.

smackbunnybaby · 07-08-2012 10:59AM

Hey guys, just want to re-iterate my interest here if you are looking for numbers (I realize there are people in the queue ahead of me as well).

Cheers, as for the draft I'll be away until Sunday but anytime after that give me some notice and I should be cool

JaMarcus Hustle · 07-08-2012 06:37PM

Would midweek next week suit everyone, i.e. Monday-Thursday? I know weekends are generally out of the question.

Also, have we booted out the inactive team, or replaced it with someone who wanted to take part?

I'm not around next week, away from Saturday to Thursday but if it suits everyone else go ahead and I'll try to find an internet cafe or something,

No harm putting it off until later, even the week before the season starts. Sometime between the 27th - 30th maybe.

adrian522 · 07-08-2012 08:40PM

Yeah, any of those nights would be fine with me...

Filled out, and I was a replacement for an inactive team
