If there are 8 or more of us interested in a 5 X 5 standard roto league, reply to this message and I will set it up on Yahoo!

i'll play. and hopefully pay attention to it. i'm so much worse at checking in to yahoo than ottoneu.

I'd be down. Yahoo is my preferred league mgmt site. I'd also prefer NL only especially if there are just 8 of us.

So that's 3. For a NL-only league we need at least 8.

sure okay.

I love the enthusiasm!
Halfway there!!!
Head-to-head league or traditional roto?

i told the people running the other yahoo league in "i apologize if i ignore deadlines, please nudge me i don't mind" so this might be a step up?

i don't have a pref. head to head seems better for more casual leagues.

4 is fine for bridge (right?) but not for roto so we're not looking good at this point.

Yeah really do need 8. With 8 you could do NL only. I don't care as much about head to head vs roto but a single league league actually is better suited for a group that small.

Did you get 8? If ya need another, I'm a sucker.

Sign me up! You need someone to clean out your cellar.

Let's see if we can get to 8.
H2H, NL only unless we are at 12. I played with the settings, including OBP (not BA) Saves + Holds (not Saves) and QS (not wins), plus a few others. I'm not wedded to any changes so let me know if I've changed too much.
I have us with a live draft next Tuesday at 7 (ET) but we can move it if necessary (I hope not).

oof. 7pm is tough. later would be better. but i'll make it work either way. maybe i just need to beef up my pre-rankings

We're up to 3... 5 to go.

I joined so we're halfway there.

My son has a volleyball game that night. Is there anyway we could push the start back, even till say 8 PM? I won't get home till 6:30-ish and then still have to make a late supper.

We're up to 5, we need 8.
I moved the draft to the 30th at 8 PM (EDT).

Thanks for rescheduling

We could maybe just tweet out a link with some Mets hashtags #LGM and that sort of thing to find a few more folks to fill out the league ?

I've posted about the league in The Atheltic's league finder page and made the league publically available so anyone can join, up to a maximum of 10.

We're up to 7, nearly there. You may want to cap it at 8 because if we have 9 we are stuck, or we have to switch to roto scoring. Can't have a head to head league with an odd number of teams.

I cap'd it at 10. If we're odd then the system creates a fake team for the draft only and then someone has a bye... yeah, if we're still at 7 in a few hours I will do that.

We lost someone and now we are down to 6 :(

I sent out a tweet with the league invite link and deets, hashtaggets Mets LGM and fantasy baseball.

Ugh, it's not looking good. If we don't have 2 more by mid-afternoon I will move the draft to Wednesday night.
Update: we're up to 7 so I left it for tonight, optimistic that we'll get our 8th.
