Can't win a championship without defense...and Yahoo has adjusted their points over the years and I haven't kept up. That's why the #1 point scorer in my league last year was a defensive guy.

Oh well.....

It's a level playing field for everyon either way. I'm completely lost preranking though. I messed with it for a while thos afternoon and I feel worse about it than when I started. I may reset the whole thing and start over.

You and me both! My first year doing this so I really have no idea what I'm doing, hopefully I get lucky!

The Yahoo draft is interesting. Have not entirely figured it out. It does a "snaking draft", which means 1 thru 10, then 10 thru 1, then 1 thru 10 and so on.

I drafted a kicker in the second round somehow mu first year. Now I make sure kickers are at the bottom.

It will fill in your rosters for you as well when it runs out of your ranked players.

Ask questions. Sounds like we have some other vets on the board. I don;t mind answering a "few" questions...

Edit: I'll even answer questions for a Purdue guy like you!

The first year that I participated in a Yahoo league with autodraft, I basically pre-ranked my preferred players according to their roster position. In other words, I filled out a game roster (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WRs, Def, Kicker, etc.) with my top selections at each position.

DO NOT DO THIS!

What happened is that I drew the #10 spot in my draft and, of course, the first 9 players had also ranked the same QB, RBs, etc., that I did. So the first player on my list that was still available by the time #10 came around was the Defense--yes, my first draft pick was a freaking Defense. It was a horrible draft.

On the other hand, I finished 3rd in the league that year, but it was cause I spent an awful lot of time week to week making trades or working the waiver wire.

I guess I better start looking at player rankings and figuring things out this year! Good luck to everyone!

Whee · 08-27-2009, 07:29 PM

All right, fellers.

I will lock the league and turn the draft to ready on Tuesday night, 9/1 at midnight CST. (that

Tues/Wed). Once the draft completes, I will post up the unlock time. I am out of town until Tuesday afternoon, so I will check for questions before I head out tomorrow, and when I get back.

Good Luck!

I'm going on vacation with no Internet access. Damn! Leave some good players for me!

When do you get back? I was planning on turning everyone loose on the weekend if all goes according to plan.

tenbaseg · 08-28-2009, 06:31 AM

I'll be back on Sunday night (9/6). You don't have to hold everything up for me.

Whee · 09-01-2009, 07:11 PM

T-minus 4 hours and 50 minutes til I flip the draft and lock the teams. Are you ready?

Not sure if I'm ready, but my pre-draft rankings are locked in....! we'll find out soon if I figured-out this defensive-player thing, or royally screwed up.

Whee · 09-02-2009, 12:02 AM

Draft is set to ready and teams are locked. Another league I am in took 4 hours for draft to complete, so hopefully, you will see your teams and I will post up the unlock time.

Good luck.

Whee · 09-02-2009, 10:58 AM

Apparently the Yahoo folks sleep overnight and we are still waiting on the draft to go. I'll keep checking it out and let you know.

Whee · 09-02-2009, 11:03 PM

Draft is complete!

Keep a look out here, as I will post the "unlock" date and time here.

kaisersozei · 09-03-2009, 08:37 AM

I'm relatively pleased by my draft, despite the sketchy RB & WR selections.

Gargoyle · 09-03-2009, 10:08 AM

I have Ochocinco. You are all going down.

A few minor corrections to the roster and I'm happy with the results.

Whee · 09-03-2009, 06:01 PM

Ok, gang.

I will unlock the teams on Saturday at 7pm CST.

Get your plans ready and your mouse clickers warmed up!

Whee · 09-05-2009, 06:48 PM

Getting ready to unlock the league. Just giving y'all a heads up.

BryanB · 09-05-2009, 07:40 PM
