Well, I thought the title said it all, but . . .

If you're interested in playing in a NYYFans.com Fantasy League this year, please sign your name up on this thread. There will almost certainly be a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner the better. Things to bear in mind before you hit the "Submit" button:

1) There will probably be a fee to play, the entirety of which should go towards Jim F. and this marvelous website. The only exception will be if we need the cash to create a Yahoo league, or if we wish to fund a prize for the winner. If you are unable or unwilling to pay this fee (which was $10 this year, and will certainly not be more tha $20 this year), please note it in your response. Remember - without NYYFans.com, there'd be no league, so we feel that we owe it to Jim to give something back.

2) The league this year is being designed as a keeper league, with the ability to hold onto a few players for the 2004 season. If you are not interested in being part of a keeper league, and only wish to play for the 2003 season, you should again note it in your response. If you don't want to play as a keeper, you may still be able to play as a one-year owner, so be honest.

3) There is currently a blueprint document for the league rules and format on this forum - please take the time to read through it. If you feel that the rules are not to your liking, then you can raise any issues on the thread, but if you find the whole structure impossible to live with, you should probably not sign up, as the basic head-to-head league format seemed to work well last year, and I would imagine we're sticking with it.

4) We welcome first-time players, who will be given (relatively) impartial advice and help. Fantasy baseball is a great way to learn more about the game, and all skill levels were represented in last year's league.

5) No commissioner has been selected for the 2003 season yet. As the 2002 commissioner, I am working to get the 2003 season started, but there will later be an election for the 2003 commissioner. As such, enquiries about rules/technicalities can be directed to myself or Bozidar in the first instance, but any of last year's owners will respond to a query on this forum. Ask away.

6) IMPORTANT - Please do not sign up unless you inted to play a whole season. If you're the type who gets bored or depressed after a couple of losses, then go play Tic-Tac-Toe or something. It's not fair to the other players to get bored and wander off just because you're not doing so well.

It's fun, it's damn near free, and you get to beat up on your fellow forumers. Put your name on the thread, damnit.

Mods: Please stickify this thread, and de-stickify the 2002 threads from this forum. I will place a notice in the "Just Conversation" forum - this can be locked if it is felt to be inappropriate, or left open for comments.

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

Really, who knows these days? Being highly caffeinated and spending most of my time tripping over moving boxes does things to my already-fragile intellect. My bad. I'll be fine by Opening Day.

Actual name not essential, to be honest, but putting down your team name is a very good idea. A couple of ideas:

1) Try not to just make your name similar to an actual MLB team name. Very uninteresting, and we'll probably end up with 14 teams called YANKEESROCK or something. Clever parodies are fine, but for the love of Pete Rose, please make them interesting and original. We've all heard about the Mutts and the BloSux, thanks.

2) It would help if team names were plural nouns, as in "Saxmania's Swingers", "Cunning Linguists", or "Alberquerque Chipmunks", rather than weird conglomerations of letters like NY#25OK1961. Just makes it easier to abbreviate, and a little more fun to write about. Obviously, you can choose any name you like (as long as it isn't obsence or inflammatory), but I just thought it would make other people's lives easier. To be honest, I always hated the way other sports have team names like "Heat" or "Clash" - how can a bunch of people be called "Heats"? But if you can call them "Cardinals" or "Bashers", it seems to make more sense.

These are only ideas - I don't mean to be fussy about it. Just a personal thing, really.

Steve, I think your name is absolutely inspired (I'm actually a little jealous), I'm just wondering if there's any plural noun we can use? "Evil Empire" is a fantastic name. Hmmm. You can't really be "Emperors", since there can by definition only be one Emperor. Any ideas?

Current sign-ups are below. We're already half-way to a new league - pretty good goin', people. A '?' means that I haven't had confirmation of your team name - previous owners are free to alter theirs or continue with the old one.

Hey, YRM, I'm honored, and possibly blushing. Your check is in the mail. ;)

Seriously, I think we should wait until entries close before people put their names forward for the vote, so anyone who wants to be commish shouldn't feel shut out. Also, there will certainly be room for at least one Assistant Commissioner, possibly a Minor Leagues Commissioner, and maybe even a Reporter, so if you want to help out, you'll almost certainly get a shot.

Keep 'em coming!

We had over 30 people 'sign up' last year, but had to scrape, tooth and nail, to get enough for an 18 team league.

I guess i'm saying, join if you're 'sure' you want to play. Thanks :)

Saxmania
02-04-03, 07:12 AM
Boz is right - I should have emphasized this in the first post - we need people who are certain that they'll play, and pay the fee if one is introduced (certainly not more than $20, all to Jim F.) We're not implying that you're not serious, but it was an omission on my part not to make it plain.

In fact, Boz understated the case - over 50 people signed up last year, and we barely managed to create a 15 team league! Or does that cast doubts on our organisational skills? ;)

Okay then, that's 12, which will work as a bare minimum. I'd still really like to see 18 teams, as I think that's an ideal number, so if you guys know anyone who plays fantasy baseball and/or who might want to pick on their fellow forumers a bit, please give them a PM and let them know we're here.

By the way, is the champion still around to defend his title? I haven't seen that Flatbu................e in a while . . .

Count me in as well. I'm back again for another year. This time my draft will go a lot better than last year.

I don't know if you have considered listing this on the Yankee Discussion Board or another board. A lot of people forget to check here. I almost forgot :(

Saxmania
02-12-03, 06:20 AM
I'm going to leave it up to a moderator to decide whether or not to post reminders in other forums. Yankee Discussion and Around The Majors seem like prime candidates to me, but I don't want to swamp the board with dead-end notices if Jim would prefer not. Again, if you know of previous owners and/or other forumers who might be interested, please consider PMing them. (I would do it myself, but I've got a limited amount of online time until my broadband connection comes through.)

Ideally, five more owners to go.

Brian - should be no problem getting in; welcome back on board.

I think this thread will probably close at the end of the month. I make it 15 players registered, which means that we can go again with last year's format as we stand, but I think it would be much better to have three more players to make 18 teams. This would mean no bye weeks, and would fill out the divisions nicely . The plea goes out again - can anyone notify potential players of this thread?

I would estimate draft date around March 15th, depending on availability (Saturday evenings are popular, and I can't register the date until we know the number of owners.) Certainly we'll try and hold it a little earlier than last year.

Saxmania
03-06-03, 02:15 PM
It's been bumped. I said at the time that we'd try and postpone to March 15th if possible, since it was the date I had originally announced, and because the March 8th timeslot wasn't as good. March 15th gives us a little more time to prep (esp. me; I had to mail-order a 2003 baseball guide) while leaving us another week to fill up the Yahoo slots. Still only 12 owners!

Time to pre-rank, then.

One of the pluses of having the draft on the 15th is that there's plenty of time for roster adjustments and trades before opening day, but we also get an idea of how borderline players are performing in spring training, and advance warning of major injuries. It's not perfect, but I do think it's the fairest date, and I did mention it as the target date even when I had to settle for a different option in the interim.

Seriously, pre-ranking shouldn't be that bad.

Since it seems like things have gone through a natural evolution over the last few months, is it possible to recap the league settings? I am in 2 Yahoo leagues already, and would like to get into one with everyone here too, but would like to know what I'm getting into, so to speak.

I see the draft is on the 15th. Other than that...Is it a head to head league? Rotisseree league? Fantasy Points League? What categories are being scored? How many teams are signed up, and whats the maximim? Is it a keeper league? Is there a fee? And anything else you could tell me about the league.

Thanks

Saxmania
03-07-03, 01:25 PM
Well, the details are all in the Blueprint thread, which is still on this forum, so I'd direct you there. Essentially, it's a points-based keeper league, with three divisions of six teams (assuming all our owners get around to signing up). The points scheme is available elsewhere, and is subject to some change.

To sign in, go to the directed Yahoo.com page and use the password "JimF". We're going to ask for a $10 donation to the site in order to play.

Jim confirmed the address to which I can mail him my money. I just dropped the envelope in the mail box outside my building, so count me as paid! :)

I have a few questions. I know there is a blueprint, but I've been so busy lately moving, I haven't had the time to prepare for this. LOL Sorry guys, this is my first on-line draft

1) in the "official lineup thread" (http://forums.nyyfans.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40199) am I to understand that I have the 14th pick?

2) what the hell is "pre-ranking your players"? Don't you choose as the rounds go on? Do I need to submit a list?

3) how long do we have to make a pick? Is there a limit and what happens if you exceed it?

4) what was the final decision on the amount of players being drafted? 21 or 25?

5) do i need to worry about this minor league thing tonight?

sorry it's so close. In case anyone noticed, i haven't been posting lately, so I've been out of the loop. But I didn't forget about the draft!! I'm really excited about it. You're all going down!!! :D

(Pete, I didn't forget about ya. Will be taken care of by Sunday :) )

Hitman:

1) Yes, you have 14th pick, which will reverse every other round so that you are 5th in round 2, 4, 6, and so on.

2) Pre-ranking your picks will be done by Yahoo, but you'll probably want to make your own choices. This is so that if you are unable to stay connected for any reason, or fail to make a pick, Yahoo can make a choice for you. I'd recommend it.

3) 90 seconds, IIRC.

4) You'll draft 21, although only 17 will be required as points-scoring starters. The other 4 are bench players, and so are "optional".

5) No. We'll sort it out in the next few weeks, if enough owners are interested to make it worth the hassle. See you in a few minutes.

Be seeing you,

I'm guessing it's too late? But if not, could someone tell me a little about it for people who just joined this site? I'm pretty good w/fantasy baseball.. but I also have a problem donating as I'm a teenager..

Sorry, Washington, but the draft was Saturday evening, so we're all sorted. There are a few other games going on, so check out the other threads. If you want to get in early for next year, keep track of events on this forum during the season, and check in early for 2004.

Be seeing you,
