2008 Fantasy Football Money League

[tarzanlovesjane]

All right guys, football season is coming up and I'm looking to fill my league out for fantasy football. Buy in is $27 and there are cash prizes for top three finishers $125, $100, $75. Paypal payments will be due week before draft. League is a points league with negative scoring, anyone interested let me know and I will get the specifics to you. Currently running a fantasy baseball league that's been great so I'm hoping the football league goes just as smoothly.

Also, thinking of running a head to head prize league as well. Please let me know if anyone is interested and if so I'll get that set up. Rene

What are the league settings.

Ex: head to head, overall points, what are the roster spots, etc.

[tarzanlovesjane]

It's an overall points league. Here are the exact settings. These are not etched in stone however, and if interested parties wanted them tweaked that is fine. Also open to putting a cap on allowed moves, but that is up for debate. Here is the scoring and position rundown.

[wolffer12]

tlj, I would do it.. shoot me a pm with the info

[hockeyjunkie99]

I would be interested:)!

[Texansfan]

Looks like something I would be interested in also...... only ? is on the points..... might be a mistake, but the way yours is set up, both the RB and QB get less points for having a good game?? 1 point for 25 yrds is 12 total for 300 yrd game not 10, and 1 point for every 10 yrds for the back, would be 12+ points for a 125 yrd game not 10.....

I believe the 10 point are bonuses for reaching the set number of yards. These points would be in addition to the pts already accumulated.

[pskell02]

I'll jump on. Shoot me a PM with payment details and when you need it buy.

[gabe_halsey]

Same here. I'm in if you've got room.

[cowboyfaninlr]

Rene

I will take up a spot if one still available.

Let me know
Bill

[otmack2o]

Count me in if there is room available still. Thanks. Tony

[tarzanlovesjane]

Ok, I'm going to start a list on the original post of everyone who is joining the league, that way we'll know when it's full. Also, I will pm each one of you, and you can send your e-mail address to me so I can send an official invite to you. Thanks guys! Rene

[PAYDIRTGOD]

I would be interested.

Yep, two more spots left. I'll pm you the info so you can get set up. Rene

[Shingos]

[flobert1205]

I'll take the last spot!

[tarzanlovesjane]

I'll take the last spot!

You got it, I'll pm you the info. Thanks

[jbellis74]

I'm also going to be running a head to head league if anyone is interested in that. I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet, but it will be the same pay in, $27, and the same prizes to the top three finishers. If anyone missed out on this and is interested in the head to head league please let me know. Thanks

[otmack2o]

Bump! Rene, can you please PM me the paypal information? Thanks!

[keggobelly]

I am in if you do another league...pm paypal info if it is a go...Thanks

[gabe_halsey]

This league is full on the front page but we only have 9 in the actual league on yahoo. Whoever is missing needs to join! Live draft in 18 days!

Also, there is $24 of leftover pot prize money after the top 3, where's it going?

Paypal fees?

[keggobelly]

TLJ posted that they were getting one more league up but it is still in the works.

[gabe_halsey]

Paypal fees?

That makes sense.

So far there are two leagues started on this site that are up and running on yahoo, but both have full lists but aren't full on yahoo yet.

Keggo, if you want in on another one, I would gladly be the commish of another head2head league through yahoo. If we got another 10 people I would get it going. How much would you want to put in to the pot?

[tarzanlovesjane]

Bumping this up to all members, lets get signed up on the Yahoo site and get ready for the draft. Also, it's time everyone start thinking about sending the pay in before halsey has a stroke. LOL

Paypal is bigpapipower@yahoo.com. If you want to mail a money order let me know and I'll pm my address. $27 by paypal, $25 by money order. Anyone has any questions let me know.

[otmack2o]

Payment sent!

[gabe_halsey]

I guess you could say the hall of lame game last night got be eager to get our draft on!!

[pskell02]

Speaking of last nights game....Colt Brennan may have the best touch of any QB I have ever seen. Some of those balls he threw last night were just perfect. Jason Campbell better watch his ass if things go south.

[keggobelly]

Gabe just say the word and I'm in. I missed out on this one but would like to get into one Thanks

[tarzanlovesjane]

Ok, for those of you who've paid for this league I have a question. Would you have a problem if I combined the two leagues into one and just ran one football league. Seems a lot of guys are either not responding or are bailing out at the last minute. This is making things rather difficult. If I were to combine the two leagues we'd have 12 paid right now, and I could add more in a H2H league to have a larger prize pool. Anyways, let me know your thoughts guys.

[gabe_halsey]

Payment just sent. I don't think it is possible to combine the two leagues, because there are already too many people registered in the actual leagues on yahoo.

[tarzanlovesjane]

Yeah, you're right, I'll just have to work to fill the leagues over the next week and a half. I'll get it done. :)

[tarzanlovesjane]

keggobelly is in replacing alexc who never replied.

[BAMBAM]

Rene - when is the draft and is there an opening that needs to be filled ? Not a big fan of head to head but I'd help you fill your points league. Whats another $27 :D

Draft is Fri Aug 22 8:30pm and there is one opening left as Texasfan never got back to me and I am pretty sure he's bailed. If you want in just let me know and the spot is yours. Then we'll be filled and ready to rock.

[BAMBAM]

O.K. - I'm in.

Remember guys, draft is tonight at 8:30 eastern time. See you all there.

[hockeyjunkie99]

Do we have to prep a draft list? Or are we going to be able to pick who we want??

[pskell02]

Ahh crap I've got to deal with you in my league....:(

JK :D

[hockeyjunkie99]

JK :D

I haven't had time to do anything. Its pick by pick right. Not by list. What is W/R mean?

[pskell02]

I haven't had time to do anything. Its pick by pick right. Not by list. What is W/R mean?

Yea, you go in the order that you are set in and it is pick by pick.

W/R is a slot for a WR or RB

[tarzanlovesjane]

You can pick who you want. You can however go into the draft central utility in Yahoo fantasy football and you can reorder the players however you'd like pre-draft so its easier for you to find the players your targeting. Other than that everyone on an active roster is available to be drafted. Draft order will be random, and will be posted 30 minutes before the start of the draft. Then it's pick by pick. First pick in the first round is last pick in the second round and so on and so forth. See you guys tonight.

[otmack2o]

Alright, HJ is donating $25 to the winner!

[hockeyjunkie99]

Yea, you go in the order that you are set in and it is pick by pick.

W/R is a slot for a WR or RB

So I don't have to pick my top 25 then. You get a couple of minutes per pick. Like Fantasy Baseball.

[PAYDIRTGOD]

That Was A Wild Ride.
This Was My First Points Only League.
Less Stress Than A Head To Head League,but Still Alot Of Fun.
Lets Do It Again Next Year.

[pskell02]

Congrats to the winners. I vote for my team for the all time biggest collapse in ff history lol. 3 weeks to go, 2nd place is a lock...and my team shits the bed....while I leave Cassell on my bench thinking the previous week putting up 49 points was a fluke :(

Definitely will be down to do this again with you guys next season.

[otmack2o]

TLJ, thanks again for running this. Please let me know what you need from me to collect the 2nd place prize :)

[kanga96]

Hey,

Third place by a whisker:p

Was fun, but next time ill try to do a live draft.

less stress than H2H

As above let me know what you need from me to collect the 3rd place prize.
