funny. but seriously get someone to sign up if you don't want to possibly lose your spot.

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.
and then change the league name to "930 league of 10, suck it stevewizzle"

yeah. bumping this thread for the hope that someone joins.
if not - feel free to bump me to make an even 10. But be warned i'll take my $20 and donate it to a charity/cause that the fantasy football league strongly opposes (NRA? Romney/Ryan? Ratbastard's health insurance? Who knows what it'll be).

If anyone has any friends not on the board, I say sign them up. 12 teams is better than 10, anyway. And we don't want stevewizzle buying $20 worth of stuff for Avril and Chad Kroeger from their registry.

Your league currently contains an odd number of teams
You must have an even number of teams in order to determine schedule and draft.
Someone needs to sign up.

wml7, please try again. i think you couldn't join because of last year's managers have reserved spots but i believe i've taken care of that. after you sign up i'll lock down the league, and we can proceed with tonight's draft at 9 pm.

good draft last night. took longer than expected but i had fun shootin' the sh*t with the other managers.
this age of RB-by-committee sure makes things more complicated. i think i did alright, luckily.
and the promise i made last night was serious: next year the draft party will be at my place. i'll brew us a DIPA/IIPA in honor of the occasion. mark your calendars (not that a date has been set yet…)
bring on Week 1!

RULE CHANGE: we're switching to "Game-time waivers".
IN A NUTSHELL: this means a player isn't put on waivers until the start of their game - or, you can claim a player as long as they haven't started that week's game. all players are released on late tuesday.
last year, we have waivers set to "Sunday - Tuesday" (start of first game on sunday through to tuesday night). so if you were down a player for the monday night game, you were outta luck since all free agents went on waivers as of sunday 1 pm. with the switch to game-time waivers, on monday afternoon you can claim any players available for that night's game.

ugh, sorry miss p. we waited, but eventually had to pull the trigger. it's a sad day when a veteran is left behind.
next year i'll send you a personal e-mail invite to make sure you get back in (you're still @gmail, right?). i'm assuming that BookerT will be so embarrassed by the performance of his team this year that we won't want to show his face again, so we'll have at least one spot open.
