Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey

[DEVILRAYS]

Who here is up for a Fantasy Hockey League? I will go ahead and start a league and set everything up...I hope we have more participation than with Fantasy Baseball. Once everything is set up I will give the ID to the league and we will more than likely conduct a draft from a list. <B>God bless America, land that I love; stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above.

I have no clue as to how it works. I'll have to inform myself a bit.... <i></i>

[DEVILRAYS]

The way Fantasy Sports work is: You "draft" a bunch of players. Depending on how well they do in actual games, you earn points. (So if you have Brett Hull and he scores two hat tricks, you earn points for that. Or if you have Curtis Joseph and he earns four shutouts.) Points are earned in different categories and are compared to the other teams in the league. Whoever has the most points at the ened of the season wins. <B>God bless America, land that I love; stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above.

Hockey gooooooood. I think I'll ask RAYS about this in person later. Doesn't make enough sense just yet on a computer screen. <

>And that is all. The draft is automatically done. How it works is it picks the top player off of each team's list in order, until all teams have the maximum number of players--21. (If you run out of available players on your list, it will pick using its own rankings of all the players.)<

Well, duy. Picking your own playerz goez without saying. Leave it to the comp, and it'll give you Claude Lemieux or some other
aindead wanker like that. <

I have unlimited transactions for that reason...however, I set the trade deadline to 26 Fe
uary. I CAN be persuaded to push it back, however.<

[Nakor BlueRider]

Tanis, the draft doesn't begin until Dev sets it to Ready, and after that nobody can join. Therefore, everybody drafts at the same time, so you can't miss out on anything. <

[DEVILRAYS]

For everyone's information, I am setting the draft at 6 October, three days before the season opens. Until then, go ahead and add your team. I expect more than four.<

And by the by, you should all wish me luck. Because I took 1st place in a Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey Public Rotisserie league last season, I've been placed into a Yahoo! Winners' league this year. So wish me luck in that, because everybody I'm playing against was a league-winner as well.<

I should also add that the draft order is random and will remain that way; that is one of the few things that is not negotiable. <B>God bless America, land that I love; stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above.

Signed up as team name GOAVS33 (not feeling very creative right now). Will have to refresh myself with the rules and such before the 6th; I did this a few years ago, it was great fun!! Cheerful, optimist and possessed of a sense of justice, you're definitely the sort who sees the cup as half full. Selfless and considerate of others, you often give those you're close to the benefit of the doubt, and before you go and point fingers you first gain solid proof against them rather than outright accuse them. Chances are, however, that you trust people sometimes a bit too much, and in doing such are shocked to discover you've been deceived. However, in the end your strong will and determination prevail, and you right the wrongs, should such actions be necessary. And fanboys love your tube top and miniskirt.What Biohazard character are YOU most like?quiz by kotoludi<i></i>
