Neowin Fantasy Hockey Season 2008-09


Recommended Posts

Its up, who normally creates the league? I want in!

Due to a last minute departure, we were left with an odd number of players and Yahoo would not allow us to have a live draft in that situation. Faced with only 2 minutes before an automatic draft, bayrider was forced to delete the league. The good news is that he has created a new league. Please see the updated information below.
Okay, here are the new settings.

Link to more info on this keeper league? I am up for anything.

Apparently it is new to Yahoo this year:

Keeper Leagues

* Build your dynasty by keeping your best players each season

* Salvage a down year by trading for next year's stars

* Change your league's live draft order based on custom keeper rules

Eh... Not sure if I like that you keep players between seasons. I like the idea of having to re-draft each season so that everybody starts off with a clean slate.

Either way though, I'm in :yes:

We had two leagues last year. I suggest one of each. If there is room, I'll probably play both.

Okay, it's up and running guys!

The draft date isn't firm. If you have any concerns about the draft date I'll do what's best so that we can get as many people there as possible

If a Mod can sticky this and rename it to Neowin.net Fantasy Hockey League 2008-09 I'd appreciate it!

Can a Mod can rename to title to "Neowin Fantasy Hockey Season 2008-09" and sticky this to the top so we can get some more exposure and fill up the league :)

thanks

Done. Did you set this up as a keeper league?

It's fine if you didn't as we may need to create a second league anyway.

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
