Why not play in both leagues, Mike? I see there are nine teams signed up in the Acaeum Collectors League, and an even number is needed. Avur and Mike set up the scoring differently, so the strategy is different for each. Although to call my approach "strategy" is laughable.

Thanks Mike.

Just one small problem (for me) - the draft is scheduled for 3am my time. Any chance you could either push it back a few hours, or bring it forward the same? I can do any time between about 6am and midnight local time, but 3am is a little difficult to manage.

I'm thinging the draft is set for around lunchtime in Texas - if we could swing it so it's late afternoon or evening, that would be great.

Sorry to be a nusiance before the season even starts...

Regards
Mike

Mike, let me fiddle with it. All the best times are taken, but there were a few times later in the day (5 pm our time) that might accomodate you better.

Mike B.

Edit: The draft now starts 830 am Sunday, which should be about 1130 pm your time, Mike (and 930 am to anyone on the East coast).

The Luddite League has 8 teams, but if two more teams wanted to join, that would be great (even number). Just let me know and I'll send you an invite...but it's gotta be two! The league is highly competitive and can get pretty cut throat...but it's all about fun, right??? :lol:

There is a message on the league page stating there must be an even number of teams to determine schedule and draft. So with nine teams currently signed up what happens once the draft goes live?

I think I have a player lined up to even things out.

LOL

I drafted a player that just retired.

. . . http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=A ... es-7956683

Taylor signed a ceremonial one-day contract with the Jaguars on Friday, then retired with the team that drafted him. After a 13-year NFL career, he is done playing.

I'm off to an auspicious start . . .

Mike B.

Sorry Was up till 2:30 am this morning dealing with family issues.
Long story short.
Moving most of my Collections and lots of other things into storage this week, selling the rest.
I will be selling the pool table upstairs, a bed and some other things.
Need that space for more important things now.
The office I am sitting in now and the game room upstairs will be converted into bedrooms by Thursday.
I will be extremely busy for the foreseeable future.

Took a quick look at my roster as drafted by the computer.
Eight team league rosters look awesome at first glance.

The computer did not crap out like it did that one time. :roll:

Hey everyone,

Uh oh, I ended up with 2 kickers and 2 teams for defense...

And my two QB's are Matt Schaub and Eli Manning...

I knew I shouldn't have autodrafted.

Ronald
