[usafshelland]

No takers? Really? Man, maybe I just have rich blood.

[usafshelland]

Still hunting for more people... league is now up to 3. Looking for 7 more.

[usafshelland]

Hasn't quite been 24 hours... It's been 23H 15mins since my last bump...

[usafshelland]

Still looking for participants

[usafshelland]

Guess no high rollers out there?

[usafshelland]

Still hung up on 3...

[Skootown]

1 point for every 5 yards rushing or receiving?

[usafshelland]

1 point for every 5 yards rushing or receiving?

Yea, trying to balance out the importance of a RB/WR/TE to a QB.

[usafshelland]

Dropped the buy-in to $50 to make it more paletable... any takers?

[carl2001]

i am interested. who will hold the money?

[usafshelland]

i am interested. who will hold the money?

The league commissioner would hold it typically...(ME)

[usafshelland]

Man, still stuck on 3... :(

[usafshelland]

Getting so close to the season... takers?

[a1breakz]

I'd join if it was a higher price and a higher pay out

[usafshelland]

I'd join if it was a higher price and a higher pay out

It was at $100, but there weren't any takers. So I dropped the price to $50 to hopefully garner more participants.

[usafshelland]

Another bump to try and get more participants...

[del033]

On ESPN? I'll take a spot.

[usafshelland]

[ILikeThatCard]

50*10=500
400+150+50=600
I can't see why people are not joining this league.

Got ya carl2001... PM me your e-mail address.

[L3V1]

Count me in for this. I'm on the west coast so a little later Draft time would be prefered, but not necessary.

[robdijohn]

I'm in.........

[L3V1]

Come on folks, let's fill this up!

[JeffCooper1979]

Ill Play as long as its a pay at the beginning league. Last league I joined nobody wanted too pay at the end and I got my buy in back for a first place trophy.

[usafshelland]

We will go with 10, but would like to run 12... let's go folks!

[usafshelland]

Still looking for quite a few... we'll run with 10, but would like to hit 12. Only at 4 certified into the league (i.e. signed up on ESPN already). So lots of room still...

[del033]

Can you please resend the invite or PM the league info? Can't find the invitation in my email. Thanks!

[mcgoo2]

I'm in for one.

[Jin]

I'd be in if you went traditional scoring.

-5 per INT? 1 point per 5 yards? RBs and WRs are WAY too overvalued in this league.. they would get 20 points on a mediocre day which is ridiculous.

It was a way to balance out QBs. QBs are way too overvalued in ANY league... besides, you don't have to join. Great thing about the U.S. of A., you have the choice.

20 points on a Mediocore day...hmm, 100 rds rushing in a game. I'd call that a good day. 50 yds rushing and 2 TDs? I'd call that a good day. 75 yds and a TD...I'll call that a good day.

Guess our definitions of mediocore and a good day are way different... that would be equivalent to a QB throwing 250 yds and 2 TDs...but that might be a mediocore day.

75 yards and a rushing touchdown = 20 points
That's a pretty average/mediocre day if you ask me..
100 yards, no touchdowns is also pretty average, but 20 points in standard is considered a very high total.

6 catches, 70 yards, 0 TD is a very mediocre day for a WR but that's 20 points... A good day like 7 catches, 100 yards, 1 TD is a mind blowing 32 points..

There is a reason why there is more value placed on a QB - it's because there are a ton more good running backs and WRs that can produce on any given day. You also get 2 RBs and 2 WRs slots, with only 1 QB slot.

I didn't mean to bum your thread. I do have a choice, you're right, I just wish it was standard scoring. The reason I say this is because I've done a point per reception one time (with everything else standard) and even that made a huge difference in value differences and drafting since people were used to standard.

[usafshelland]

Anyone interested? We have 7 confirmed so far... let's get at least 3 more!

[L3V1]

Hey guys sorry but I'm going to have to bow out, I don't have as much $$ as I thought I did. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck this season!

[usafshelland]

Hey guys sorry but I'm going to have to bow out, I don't have as much $$ as I thought I did. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck this season!

Well, that's a bummer, but I got your removed. We DO have 7 teams confirmed so far! Looking for 5 more, but we will run with 3 more.

[usafshelland]

Season just around the corner... Anyone?

[Glove]

I could be interested. Can I use the ESPN app with this?

[usafshelland]

I could be interested. Can I use the ESPN app with this?

You can, but I would NOT recommend using the app to execute your draft... I had a hard time with it last year. Let me know if you are in or not either way though.

Thanks,
Erik

[usafshelland]

Still looking for a few teams... any takers?

[usafshelland]

Any takers? Still need a few more...

[carl2001]

I have to withdraw sorry

[asujbl]

I'd be interested if there are spots depending on draft date

[usafshelland]

Draft is 30 Sept, 6pm Eastern

[usafshelland]

If I don't get 4-6 more by Sunday, this league will be deleted...no reason to keep people hanging on.

[asujbl]

Draft is 30 Sept, 6pm Eastern

August 30th?

[MF514235]

[usafshelland]

You have randomized this list 3 times.

[usafshelland]

Ok, so we now have 3 votes for 3 Sept... need 7 more votes. Also need those other two guys to sign up for the league already. All payments need to be sent in ASAP.

[mcgoo2]

Probably should have waited to random until everyone has paid... but I'm all paid up.

[usafshelland]

I'm not worried about the random and folks not paying...If the 10th guy pays, why wouldn't any of the others?

[usafshelland]

[usafshelland]

WANTED: Replacement manager for $50 buy-in league. You will have 6th pick in the draft. Draft date will be 9/3 at 9:30p Eastern Time. Must meet all criteria and be able to pay ASAP to join.

Thanks!
Erik

[usafshelland]

Had someone drop, so now we need one more... any takers?

[del033]

Let's get this last spot filled!

[armyatc22]

I'll take the last spot if I could trade the 6th overall pick for the 2nd ;)

[seancoyle]

I would like to join if there's any spots left

[del033]

usafshelland, are we good now with the last spot?

[vaderccg]

lmk if need a spot filled. THANKS

[usafshelland]

Del033, just waiting on confirmation, but looks like we should be good to go.

[vaderccg]

lmk if spot opens up. THANKS

[usafshelland]

Oh jezus f'n poop... just had ANOTHER guy drop AFTER he had already paid. Granted he was in the 10 slot and is requesting a refund.

Why am I not surprised...

[vaderccg]

sent IM requesting to join league. THANKS & LMK

[nateyad]

If I were you I wouldn't have allowed people to drop after draft order was determined. Honestly that's bull crap and deserves a negative in my opinion.

[usafshelland]

nateyad... I thought about it. But we got a replacement guy in vaderccg so everyone is happy and I don't have to tag anybody with a negative. He's even taking the 10 spot with no reservations/issues.

Understood, just real poor judgement on their part, you are more lenient than me. If you had to go through what I did to get replacements in my keeper I guess you'd be less lenient too ha ha.

[seancoyle]

can we change the draft date back to the original time? I have class until 9:15 tomorrow

[usafshelland]

seancoyle... working it... more than likely WILL happen. Stay tuned.

[robdijohn]

paid just now erik

I put "robdijohn " in notes

[del033]

Now that we seem to have a nice group that takes this seriously :p, any more thought to making this a keeper league? I'd be in.

Thanks rob for taking that last spot!

[usafshelland]

Hey gentlemen, draft is at 9:30p EST tomorrow... whose excited for this! :)

[vaderccg]

Let's get it on!!! C y'all at 9:30.....

[usafshelland]

I would also be down for keeper league... 2 keepers MAX

[usafshelland]

Thank you all... we're are paid up and ready to roll. Draft tonight at 9:30p EST... please do NOT be late. Don't want you to get stuck with someone you don't want...

Anyone want to make this a keeper league? (2 yes' so far, 8 unknown)

[usafshelland]

Great season everyone! I really hope to see you all back next season.

Again, throwing it out there, but

2) What rule changes would you like to see for 2015?

Thanks, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
