R. Rich Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well, we've finished our second year, and it was a good one. Here's how the teams fared: 10th place: Nutcrackers 9th place: Blitzing Barracudas 8th place: Absolut Power 7th place: Wu Tang Financial 6th place: Saratoga Swingers 5th place: Pro Bowler and the top 4 finishers, who each receive a cash prize: 4th place ($25 cash award): Shop Wreckers 3rd place ($50 cash award): Buffalo Stampede 2nd place ($75 cash award): BUFFALO RULES and our Year 2 Champion, recipient of the $100 grand prize... BuffBills#1 Congratulations to BuffBills#1 and to all of our prize winners. Great season. To those of you who have won cash prizes, PM me the address to send your payment to. All winnings will be sent out by Super Bowl weekend. Here is the draft order for next year: 1. Nutcrackers 2. Blitzing Barracudas 3. Absolut Power 4. Wu Tang Financial 5. Saratoga Swingers 6. Pro Bowler 7. Shop Wreckers 8. Buffalo Stampede 9. BUFFALO RULES 10. BuffBills#1 Looks like Nutcrackers is the winner of the Reggie Bush Derby. I finished 3rd. Oh well. Again, congratulations to all of our teams, and I look forward to another exciting and competitive season in Year 3. See you then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when do we have to declare our keepers? -Nutcrackers - who is taking over for them? 560804[/snapback] I was going to post a message about the keepers, Tony. I was considering expanding it from 3 to 5 or 6 keepers. What do you think? I didn't know Nutcrackers was out. I'll try to catch up w/ them to get the true story.

I didn't know Nutcrackers was out. I'll try to catch up w/ them to get the true story. 560881[/snapback] I wouldn't increase keepers until the start of a season - it probably would have changed they way some people drafted at the start. Take it from someone who's been a commish for 12 years - if you make a change like this now everyone will accuse you of changing the rules to give yourself an advantage (ie. - because you personally want to keep 5 or 6 guys you had this year). Changes have to be made at the start of a season, when everyone starts on even ground. Nutcrackers was AWOL since about week 4. I understand if there are extreme circumstances (illness, death in the family, etc.), but short of that there's no excuse to leave a dead team. I know some teams got easy wins because they were playing a dead team with bye players in the lineup - not fair to those of us who do show up. My vote is to can them.

BuffBills#1 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I agree pretty much with both of what The Avenger has said. Especially the Keeper thing, this year it has to stay at 3, and if you want to change it you should let everyone in the league now before the start of the season. My keepers are Shaun Alexander, Lamont Jordan, and Steve Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I missed out on this last year, so in order to act quick...I'm throwing my hat in the ring now! IF Nutcrackers is out, I'd like to jump in!

R. Rich Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Sounds like a plan. The deadline for designating keepers will be July 1st. You can post who you want to keep (remember, 3 keepers per team) @ any time up until July 1st, but please do so in our forum on the league's site.

The Avenger Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Just thought I'd ask who is going to takeover for the M.I.A. Nutcrackers and how this will impact the draft - what's up? Nutcrackers have first pick - does this top pick go to the replacement team? Do they get dropped and everyone else moves up a spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 REPORT YOUR KEEPERS FOR NEXT SEASON! As of now, 6 teams have reported which players they are keeping. The others have until the end of the day this Friday (07/28/06) to report which players they are keeping. After that, I will decide which players will be kept for the other teams.

BuffBills#1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Is there anyway we can throw a date out there for the draft. I would need to know a couple weeks ahead of time of when the draft is in order to make it. Also, these last couple of teams that the owners have not responded on, maybe we should look for new owners. We could do this by posting it on the main board of the message board.

Problem with dead teams is what to do with the keepers - do new oners get stuck with the same players that are on the dead teams, or do we have some sort of special draft for them? Also, what's the fee for this year and how do we get it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One team has already been replaced. They inherit the same roster and make their keepers based on that (which they've already done). The fee is the same as last season and the information on how/when to send it can also be found in the forums on our league website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me your address and I'll send you your prize money. As long as you designate your keepers by Friday, there's no problem. I actually set a deadline for July, but I've been lenient as I know people run into problems and such. I intend to set up the draft on Saturday, so whoever hasn't designated keepers by then will have them designated by me. Our draft date will more than likely be September 2nd or 3rd.

Any way we could move it to 7:30 or a weekend? Not sure what would work best for people and if it's only me who can't do a Monday at 7pm then I'll have to suck it up and figure out what to do.
