2005-2006 Dallas-Mavs Fantasy Football League: The Battle Begins - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Evilmav2 · 07-14-2005, 01:14 PM

Well, it's just about football time again, so I went ahead and registered a new D-M fantasy football league on Yahoo and I'm hopeful that we can put together a good fantasy group together again this season. Last year's league was pretty darned active, and I while hope that we can get some of the same players from last season to register again (U2 has a title to defend), I'm going to leave this as a 'first come first served' registration, so I'd encourage any of y'all who see this and want to participate to register soon.

Also, if any of y'all have any suggestions pertaining to the rules or scoring of the league (as posted below) or related to the scheduled livedraft time of 1 PM on Sunday, Sept. 18, feel free to post them in this thread or PM me and I'll be happy to consider them...

How do you conduct the live draft? With the Java Applet tied into Yahoo?

Yup, that's how it's worked the last couple of years...

u2sarajevo · 07-14-2005, 02:05 PM

I forgot I won last year... I blame that on why my Basketball team sucked. Hopefully this year my team will be listless so I can return to my dominating Basketball form of years prior.

I'm in.

alby · 07-14-2005, 02:08 PM

Ninkobei · 07-15-2005, 12:46 AM

woo im in. I shall eat all of your oranges! muahaha

Evilmav2 · 07-15-2005, 07:00 AM

Cool... As of right now we've got 5 spots filled with the following teams participating:

Irving Cowboys (Defending champ U2)
Evil Domination (me)
OrangeEaters (Ninkobei)
Trust Big Bill (Alby)
JThig32 (Starring as himself)
The Ligers
Great Ape Smash

There are still five spots left, so I'd encourage anyone interested in playing to sign up now...

Update: Now The Ligers have joined the fray, so we now have four open spots...

Update #2: And now the Ape has joined, so that leaves three spots...

OzMavs · 07-19-2005, 07:32 AM

I'm in- You Mongrel!

Evilmav2 · 07-19-2005, 03:04 PM

Excellent! Oz is in the hizzaus... And I guess that means we've now got just two open spots remaining.

Drbio · 07-19-2005, 05:08 PM

The Bosque River Beeyatches are in the fold.

mavsman55 · 07-19-2005, 07:28 PM

The Giraffes are in the house. Bring it on!

Evilmav2 · 07-20-2005, 12:11 AM

It's great to have you on board, Doc and Mavsman[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. And that wraps up all of our league's spots...

Just211 · 07-24-2005, 07:37 AM

I have a question.
Why is the draft set on Sep 18th, when the first NFL game is in Sep 8 th?

alby · 07-24-2005, 11:24 AM

very good question

Drbio · 07-24-2005, 09:15 PM

It may have been all that was left available. I am just guessing though.

Evilmav2 · 07-24-2005, 09:34 PM

Whoops... Almost all of the live-draft weekend slots were taken when I registered the league, and I didn't realize that the NFL season started a week before the draft time. I'm going to take a look at the available draft slots right now, and I'll hopefully be able to find a better time that predates the start of the real NFL season. Unfortunately, this will probably mean that the draft will have to take place on a weekday night, but hopefully I can find a day that will work for everyone, and I can certainly change the date again if any team has a real problem making the draft time...

Drbio · 07-24-2005, 09:50 PM

Thanks for your efforts Evil.....I'm looking forward to the draft.

Drbio · 07-24-2005, 09:51 PM

BTW...worse things can happen than us starting a week late. If you can't change it don't worry about it.

Evilmav2 · 07-25-2005, 01:47 AM

OK, thankfully I was able to change the live-draft time to a much better slot, and I hope the new time will work for everybody. Our draft is now scheduled to be held on Saturday, August 20 at 2:45 PM central standard time, and if this time causes problems for anyone, I'll do my darndest to try to find a better one (although the available time slots for yahoo drafts are currently running very thin)...

Drbio · 07-25-2005, 08:58 AM

Looks great to me. Thanks Evil!

sike · 07-26-2005, 10:02 PM

Thanks Evil!

Evilmav2 · 07-27-2005, 02:07 PM

Hey guys, so Sike could participate, I expanded the league from 10 spots to 12, so we now have one additional spot open. I'm definitely not going to expand the league again, so this last spot will be the last one open for this year's league. So if any non-participating poster happens to read this and wants to participate in this year's D-M league, I'd advise that you grab the last spot now...

The participating teams are now:

- You Mongrel!
- Bosque River Bitches
- The Giraffes
- TheSikedelics
- Great Ape Smash
- The Ligers
- Irving Cowboys
- alby -Trust Big Bill
- JThig32
- Orangeaters
- Evil Domination

Drbio · 07-27-2005, 03:06 PM

I think sike should have to pay an expansion fee. Stinking alien.

chumdawg · 07-27-2005, 04:02 PM

I'm in. Ship it, batches!

hey....I'm an American!

Evilmav2 · 07-27-2005, 04:58 PM

Excellent! Great to have you onboard Chumdawg. Adding you and the Alien to the league are both happy developments...

chumdawg · 07-27-2005, 05:08 PM

Someone will be especially happy every Sunday. When they draw me as an opponent, that is.

And they'll be even happier to draw the sikeymonkey!

Unless...I start studying up!!!!

sike · 07-28-2005, 10:51 AM

yea, that sikemonkey punk has always been a chump......NOW The Sikedelics on the other hand....that is a team to be feared!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

you smell of envy chum....and feces...

sike · 08-08-2005, 10:52 AM

someone give me some help on drafting defensive players....what do you look for???
am I right that there are no utility spots for this league?

jthig32 · 08-08-2005, 11:21 AM

I don't think we're doing individual defensive players Sike. You draft one team's defense. They get pointes based on how many points they give up, how many touchdowns they score, and how many sacks, fumbles and interceptions they force/recover.

madape · 08-19-2005, 01:34 PM

Just a reminder - one more day

Drbio · 08-19-2005, 01:35 PM

Let the draft genius begin........

Retreat?

That will work fine. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

chumdawg · 08-19-2005, 11:30 PM

I've got a little sum-tin' sum-tin' up my sleeve as well. SHIP IT, batches!

Just211 · 08-19-2005, 11:52 PM

Just211 · 08-20-2005, 07:36 AM
