You had problems scoring on prom night? Interesting.

Ok, can I still get in on this thing? I need a place to waste $20.

I don't see why not. We need to get a hold of Jarhead and Tiger Wench, then, and see if either wants in again. Gotta have an even number of teams, and all.

Rider, check this thread for registration information. I'll send the PM to Jarhead and Wench.

I think that winning the regular season requires more consistency over a longer period of time and should be rewarded more than the playoff winner. I'd go 80-20 or 60-40, but I'm ok with an even split if that's what everyone else wants.

Agreed, with a caveat.

My vote is 2nd place playoff winner gets his $20 bucks back.

From the remaining pot (the total pot being either $240 or $280) we give a 60/40 split.

60% to regular season winner, 40% to playoff winner. (Meaning a $132/$88 split if it's $240 OR a $156/$104 split if it's $280, and that's counting the $20 going back to the 2nd place playoff winner before the 60/40 split was calculated)

Good to know. Thanks. All other tips and tricks are appreciated.

pre-rank your players before the draft.

keep up with injuries before the draft. nothing like drafting a couple of gimps not listo until july.

to make me feel like a real manager i always set up my daily line up with a pinch of fresh copenhagen.

I don't think this will help me as I have nearly zero working knowledge of baseball. Is this thing like fantasy football in that the players are auto-ranked so that I can rely on that list?

OK, so AUTR will be our treasurer. In order for him to collect money, we need him to PM all of us his address.

Here's who all I have in:

War Eagle!!!
Jumbo
Thrilla
Ogre
Wesfau
Chinook
Buzz Killington
ssgaufan
AWK
AUTR

10 total.

I also vote for paying out the regular season winner and playoffs winner. If we have $240 pot, then do we split that 50/50 between regular season winner and playoff winners?

We could also do where the person who gets 2nd place in the playoffs gets his money back (or more)...leaving $220 to be split evenly between the regular season winner and the playoff winner.

What do you all think?

Hey asshole...you forgot last years 3rd place finishers.

I've been enrolled in this year's league for a while...just haven't posted in this thread.

Now that you've gone and went all name-calling on me, I'm going to have to save a special beatdown for you. I will ensure that all my players with take boli before my week long match with you.

AUJarhead and Tiger Wench claim to have jobs that keep them too busy to participate this year. I'm not sure that they realize that the gub'ment will just bail them out if they don't work, but hey, that's their choice.

So this is it. 12 folks. Lock this motherfucker down. AUTR, don't forget to PM Aubie16 and Pale Rider yo' addy.

We need to decide on payouts. I'll take the lead and start a voting thread.

Thrilla · « **Reply #69 on:** March 11, 2009, 02:00:32 PM »

We are lacking 3 or so votes in the voting payouts thread. Slackers, make your voice heard. We have a 3-way tie currently.

The draft is Tuesday March 24th at 8:30.

Is this 8:30 AM? I frickin' assumed that it would be 8:30 at night.

I am unable to access the yahoo stuff from work.

If I can done no pre-rankings, will it default to the computer rankings?

Am I screwed?

Yes.

You know what happens when you assume.

I don't care.

Yes.

Probably, but it has nothing to do with Fantasy Baseball.

Well fuck me, I have to go to Atlanta tonight for a business dinner and will have to miss the draft. I guess this is going to end up just like Fantasy Football and I'm going to get fucked by the automatic draft. Hope you guys enjoy my $20
