A doodle would be good. An 8-10 EST start time on a weeknight would be ideal.

If that's the *only* way we get a to a full league, ok, fine, but yeah, it's kind of missing the point.

Also, while we're at it are there any other elements of the league that we might want to discuss and vote on besides auction vs. snake? We've got like two weeks before even the first potential draft dates, so we can hash out whatever.

I've got a small one- I think that the "flex" position should be RB/WR/TE. As it stands now, it's only RB/WR. It adds a bit more flexibility and options when it comes to roster composition and churn, and it mirrors real football.

Agreed on including TE in the flex. I vote for auction over snake.

I, Veritek83 :toxx:

on myself to put together a $50 box of local beer and ship to one of the league winners at the end of the season.
Draft format preferred (auction/snake): auction
RB/WR/TE Flex (Y/N): Y

Team Name(TBA if you don't have one yet): Natty Guice (rip Guice)

I'm open to moving one of Jones, Beckham or Thomas for a high end RB or something along those line.

Requiescat in piss, friend.

Meanwhile all I needed to happen this week to keep a bye was for either myself to win or Natty Guice to lose, but both myself and his opponent this week are on pace for our worst scores of the year. This despite Natty putting up his worst score of the year. Hooray.

Yeah, this has been some awful goddamn football today, but I'm optimistic about pulling off the win today- Ol' Whipnuts Peterson isn't putting up ~~35+~~ 25+ points tomorrow night.

e: yikes, this could be unpleasantly close tomorrow night

I'm thrilled to win some beer, but my god, do I hate Drew Brees. Also OBJ. And Le'Veon Bell too.

As far as location and preferences- I'm in Richmond VA, so really anything from Virginia gets stocked at the local beer store.

All that makes sense. Whoever I end up sending a box to, don't hesitate to let me know any particular preferences. This season was fun as hell. This was definitely the league I spent the most time thinking about and I'm extremely excited to buy and receive some nice beer.

I'm pretty sure mine arrived at Zam's last week. Hopefully no difficulties/breakage.

Just got my box from Alfalfa. Very excited to drink some Texas beers this weekend while snow-bbqing. Will get a pic up this evening.

Definitely on board to throw in for some kind of compensatory action, though taking any sort of lead on it is a bit beyond me right now thanks to work & school.

I'm just about to start my second semester of grad school and I've got at least another month of covering for my co-worker who is out on maternity leave, so commissioner duties would be a stretch for me, but I'm happy to help if someone else takes over

The fantasy: "I said I'm going to send Zam some make up beers. I'll look around my fridge and carefully select a good variety."

The reality: "Uhhh, I said I would do this like a month ago I'll just grab some stuff from my recent haul and get this poo poo out this morning."

Anyway, that's done.

If nobody else will step forward I guess I can try to bungle my way through being commissioner if someone more experienced doesn't want to. Just thinking that we're down three and need to set up a draft soon.

Edit: For that matter maybe we should start a new thread?

Yeah, new thread seems appropriate. If we need to fill the final couple spots I can probably recruit some non-SA folks, but I'm guessing once a new thread is up, we'll be fine.

My vote would be auction, but I think we probably should get the new thread up and running to get all of that sorted.

Quiet, are you good to serves as commissioner? I'm happy to help, but between two other leagues I run and work and school I can't take point.
