Standard League--Link Below!

[bmfc1]

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!

[metsmarathon]

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

[Fman99]

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.

[bmfc1]

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

[Ceetar]

sure okay.

[bmfc1]

sure okay.

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

[Ceetar]

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.

[bmfc1]

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

[Fman99]

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.

[A Boy Named Seo]

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

[Willets Point]

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

Here it is:

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).

[metsmarathon]

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

[bmfc1]

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

[Fman99]

I joined so we're halfway there.

[Fman99]

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.

[bmfc1]

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

[Fman99]

Thanks for rescheduling

[Fman99]

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 ?

[bmfc1]

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.

[Fman99]

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.

[bmfc1]

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.

[Fman99]

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

[Fman99]

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

[bmfc1]

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.
