Someone should start this up. Last year's league was good stuff (except for the fact that I didn't win - again).

Agreed!

Is this happening this year?? Otherwise, I need to find myself another league!

Yeah come on Sweetcell, where are ya? I think you are the one who can re-register the league, get a draft time, etc.

last year's managers should have already received an invite to resurrect their old teams.  if you don't want to play this year, please decline the invitation as soon as you can - spots are reserved for returning teams, so free up your spot if your not going to use it.

the live online draft is currently set to for Wednesday, Aug 22 at 9:00pm EDT.  i'm flexible about when this goes down, both in terms of the date and time of day (lunch time is an option too) HOWEVER keep in mind that the following week (Aug 27-31) draft times are very limited in the evenings - before 6:30 pm of after 10:45.  for the 1st time yahoo is limiting how many drafts can occur simultaneously.  please let me know your preference.

don't let BookerT win,

Unfortunately, the defending champ is going to have to bow out.  I am leaving for Spain this morning and don't return until Sept 4th. 

It was a lot of fun last year, so if you are on the fence- do it! and take my spot.

Signed up!

Seville, Malaga, Valencia, Barcelona… yourself?

I'm in and good with draft time. What is spiky of winnings?  Winner take all or does super bowl runner up get a piece.

Thanks for setting it up again, Sweetcell. Draft time works for me.

Too bad you won't be back to defend the title, Stillwater. But you'll be on vacation in Spain, which some might even argue is better than winning a fantasy football league! (I've only been to Valencia of that bunch - amazing city, enjoy.)

top 3 finishers get paid: $150/$65/$25 was last year's breakdown.

I'll do the draft from Captiva Island with a beverage in hand.

looking good: we're up to 8 teams.  that's the minimum for a viable league, IMO, but it would be better if we could get to 10 teams.  c'mon folks, sign up.

Sweet… I'm going to Barcelona > Formentera. Have a blast, I wish we were going for longer! I was in Seville and south about a decade ago, pretty amazing. Enjoy.

Are we on for Wednesday??

I guess we'll just pay at a later date one your paypal is figured out sweetcell?

looks like i just made it 11 teams.

we are indeed on for wednesday - assuming we can find a 12th team.  we can't go with 11, which is the current state of affairs.

yeah, my paypal is a mess.  i'm waiting for them to mail me something that i need to respond to.  i'm quite pissed with them at the moment.  i'll let y'all know as soon as it's cleared up.

One more person should really, really sign up so we can have the draft tomorrow instead of being stuck with a bad draft slot if we have to reschedule. Do it!

Or worst case scenario, bounce the last person that signed up. Maybe not the best way to go, but not sure how we're going to find another player.
