I would say that our league has gusto... WATCH OUT FOR THE ACADIAN PACIFISTS

How many spots left? Bayrider HC is already in 4 leagues including 1 Neowin league. I dont mind making a 2nd account if need be.

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

10 spots left. This one doesn't seem to be moving. Hopefully some more people pick it up.

I've joined this one as well, team whoopass ready to, er, whoopass!

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

how many more days do I have for this to fill up so that it is viable?

[bayrider]

Until the draft. I think you need a minimum of 4 players, and an even number to be eligible for a live draft.

I'd like to join, but I've never done a fantasy league before and I don't know enough about all the players to draft well or manage anything well :/

Last year was my first year and I ended up winning. Generally Yahoo provides pretty good rankings. Hockey is easier to draft than football because the positions are simpler. Well, maybe I just know them better.

I have never done a fantasy league either. Thats why I want to try it. I wouldn't know much about the drafting etc either. I know hockey and a lot of players, but I am more or less a noob there. It is something that is pretty interesting to me though.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Alright, well if I make a fool of myself I'm blaming you guys :laugh:

Watch out for Katastrofi!!!

[Fred Derf Veteran]

There is now about a week or so until the draft. There is still room for a few players.

I preset my custom draft order in case I can't make it. Although, really, it didn't end up being that different from Yahoo's order.

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

For anyone in this league, but not in the other league... There is one last slot open in the original Neowin league now

[gigapixels Veteran]

Hey would you guys mind if my best friend got in on this league? We should have an even number of people...

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

I don't see why that would be a problem.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Alright, cool, I'll let him know :)

EDIT: Okay, he's trebv27, manager of the Elusive Wombats! :laugh:

haha sounds good.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

Apparently, Yahoo will automatically add players to fill up our league.

How many non-Neowinians do we want? Should I cap this league at 8? at 10? or leave it at 12?

[Hills420]

I'm registered. Glad to see there is a Neowin league :)

Good luck

[Fred Derf Veteran]

edit: wrong league.

the other one is drafting now, sorry

[Steffan]

I signed up for the 2nd league. There are 4 spots still remaining.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

Only two spots left.

This league drafts tomorrow. Be ready!

[Fred Derf Veteran]

This league is drafting today.

8 hours from now, in fact.

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

Are we going to close the league to non neowin players by cutting down the slots, or just let em in?

I already cut it down from 12 to 10 (meaning that instead of 4 non-Neowinians, there will be only 2).

If nobody wants to join before the draft then I'll cut it down to 8 and lock everyone else out.

So unless I forget to check/update in two hours, we should have no more than 1 non-Neowinian.
