FANTASY FOOTBALL SIGN UP 2008 2!!

[HawksHead]

This is the second league of 16 and although I've had to register a team again I'd hope that people who didn't get into the first one would have precedence for the next couple of weeks. Also anyone is quite welome to take over from me when it gets up and running.

League = 87389

The draft is set for 7:00pm Sunday 24th August 2008

At the risk of infringing BFB's copyright I've called my team "Top Totty"

I've limited it to 16 teams so that we don't have situations that spoil it by people simply being unable to sign a kicker or starting QB following an injury.

In the past I've run the final to week 16 due to problems that can occur with resting but I think this is so unpredicatble that it just makes more sense to run it for the entire season. 8 team play offs to keep it interesting for as long as poss.

I've only tweaked the scoring system very slightly from the pre set.

I added a team in this league to make up the numbers.

There are only 10 teams at the moment, so we need another 6 before the draft on the 24th August.

[HawksHead]

Yeah, I'll put this on a sticky until draft time to catch anyone else wanting to play.

We've had a couple of sign ups today from people who don't appear to be Seahawks fans.

They also don't appear to have ever posted on this board so as much as we might welcome honest banter unless they can convince me of their credentials in the next 48 hours I'm going to delete them from the game and leave entry open to Seahawks.

[boyda]

'Fraid I'll need to take the blame on this one. Didn't think it would be an issue giving out the details to a few mates.

I didn't appreciate that it was meant only for Hawks fans and thought you were struggling for more teams. I also thought we might like to beat up on the glory hunting Giant and long suffering pathetic Ram fans.

They were looking forward to the banter but if the general consensus is to kick them out then I can live with that and I'm sure they can also.

BTW - I've another one who wants in now as well - a Raider this time

[HawksHead]

It's a tricky one, I don't want to be overly prescriptive but by the same token without them there would be 5 places left and I'd have hoped that by draft time they'd have been taken by Seahawks fans. We certainly filled 2 leagues last year.

Would they mind if I took them off for now but say that if there are still places in say a couple of weeks then they could join then??

The other thing we'd also want from them or anyone really is a commitment to play the game until the end of the season.

[boyda]

No problem but I can't see them wanting to join again if there is space before the draft!!
Understand where you're coming from, will tell them to bog off and take their horrible stench somewhere else!

I've entered another team in this league too. I hope that's ok. I figured that as my friend Lisa has entered not knowing a great deal about any other team, that I was going to have to go to the draft anyway. That way, at least I don't end up watching her do better than me with players I hate.

There again, perhaps I can convince her to draft Branch and Engram as wide receivers and Sean Alexander at RB.

Are the points systems the same in both leagues? If so, I thought we could have an unofficial Seahawk FA cup involving all 16 teams.

[robseattle]

We need four more teams before the draft this Sunday....

[Downhill PV]

We need four more teams before the draft this Sunday....

I've entered a team: GB Olympics Rocks!

[HawksHead]

2 places left now.

We need an even number to be able to draft but if we do end up on on odd number late on Sunday I have a reserve up my sleeve so I will make sure it is OK.

Go on I will be whiping boy again!

Not sure I can make live draft though as At New Road to watch the Royals beat Durham!
