Hey folks,
So I've been really busy, and renewed the league for the coming year, but hadn't got around to setting a date for the Draft until now.
It's all the same rules as last year, draft time is currently scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 7:30 PM Eastern Time (4:30 pm West, 9:00 pm NFLD I believe)
Right now, 8 GM's have committed and renewed their teams on Yahoo. If you were in last year, you should have received an invitation via whatever email address Yahoo has for you. If you're interested but weren't in last year, let me know and we'll sign you up. We need an even number though, so I need pairs before I'll add people.
Thanks and happy drafting (except Franko).

Mondays or Tuesdays don't work for me, Roggie ... however, if it benefits the majority, I'll just set my priority list and let Yahoo do the rest ...
Cheers.

Les boys, if you'd like to participate in the pool, just send Roggy your email addresses and he'll send you an invite to the league ... should be some spots open, but you'll have to ask Roggy ... Cheers.

Since there seemed to be quite a few unavailable on Tuesday, I've bumped the draft date to Thursday, October 8. Same time, 7:30 PM Eastern. We will miss out on the first week of Head to Head competition, but will start on the 2nd week, which isn't until October 18th. Now that we're pushing past the first 10 day week, we can adjust the date again for better options. Just let me know.
There are still open spots, I've sent Habsorbed an invite, anonymous, just PM me the email address you would like the invitation sent to and you can sign up.
The format is pretty straightforward for current fantasy leagues. We'll live draft online, 3 C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 2 G, 2 Utility (any skater position) and 4 open bench spots for any position. There will be 3 IR spots for Injured Player replacement and 1 IR+ for a day to day injury replacement.
Scoring is based on G, A, Pts, PP Points, PIMs, Shots, Faceoffs won, Blocked Shots, and Hits. Goalies score in Games Started, Wins, GAA, Sv% and Shutouts.
Each week you go Head to Head against another manager and try to win each category with your team. The team that wins the most categories wins the week. The league standings are based on category wins-losses-ties, with each category counting as 2 points for a win and 1 for a tie.
Towards the end of the season, the league kicks into playoff mode, top half of teams or so go into the league playoffs, bottom half go into consolation playoffs. No matter how bad his team is, Franko always wins the finals and I always lose. :/
You can trade with other GM's and pick up players off the Free Agent list to either replace someone you've lost to injury, or are just dropping (usually Leafs or Oilers).
That's the quick and dirty, any questions?

Will points earned for the first games count?

Will points earned for the first games count? my reading of what Roggie said is that the first 10 days of the NHL season don't count. our season begins October 19.

Why not just start the pool on Thursday?

Why not just start the pool on Thursday? stepping in for Roggy, I'd say that it's a Yahoo! thing . . . they don't allow it. but I could be wrong.

The Commish tools allow the commissioner to set the league start/end date ... Roggy chose to start the league in Week 2 possibly because he didn't know how many teams he'd have by now ... dunno for sure, though, have ask el Roggster ... Cheers.

It's a Yahoo thing, sorry guys! They won't run Head to Head Leagues if you miss the first day.

The new draft client is awful. It lags so much! I've already complained mid-draft, since there is a Feedback button.

I'd do a search for a specific position and couldn't get back to the main player list ... Probably did that three times, I think ... maybe more, not sure ... as for the draft, I was surprised I started at no.2 ... took Carey Price 2nd overall ... a few players I had highlighted but were drafted just before I could select them; Martin Jones (G) (thanks Franko), Mark Stone, Alex Galchenyuk, Ryan McDonagh ... will post my team once Yahoo populates my roster ... Cheers.

Yahoo does a post-draft evaluation. we'll see how it winds up (I did a screen shot). best drafter according to them was the team that went BPA. of course, it's all speculation but interesting none-the-less

So now I can see my team. How the heck did I end up with Sidney Crosby? Jakub Voracek I would have picked on my own (former Mooseheads), so he's not a problem. I would not have picked any of the other guys if I had done the actual picking...
I will laugh hysterically if I do better overall with auto-draft then when I actually put some thought and effort into picking my team. LOL!

Couldn't get on but don't know if it was site or my computer/incompetence.
Good luck to everyone!
