VV FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 7, 2005, 4:45 pm

It is June so we need to start thinking about Football. The questions I have this year is Who is going to commish the league and what are we going to use for it as far as Yahoo, ESPN, or CBS or other?

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » June 7, 2005, 8:54 pm

indeed.

for the record, I'm drafting Summertime Everywherebutwisconsin

I hear he's a mover and shaker

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » June 7, 2005, 9:30 pm

I'm just requesting that we don't have individual defensive players this year.

FF works best drafting entire Defensive teams and then concentrating on the offense.

cid · Post by **cid** » June 7, 2005, 9:36 pm

I would like in this year.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · Post by **Midnyte_Ragebringer** » June 8, 2005, 1:37 am

Agree Winnow.

Yahoo works great. I use it for all my leagues. I am commish'ing the Baseball League now and would commish if you need me to. If not, I want in as a player.

I let you take the regular season title to get more favorable matchups in the playoffs..heh.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » June 9, 2005, 3:04 am

If we get anything close to a normal fantasty stat league (not all the off defensive players, huge special teams points), I'll be fighting for the championship at the end of the year.

I'm really hoping we tone it down this year and get back to basics. Pure old school Fantasy Football is where it's at!

Aevian Dreaklear · Post by **Aevian Dreaklear** » June 9, 2005, 3:49 am

I'd like to be in again this year.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 9, 2005, 9:53 am

The question remains though, Who is going to commish and will it be Yahoo?

You did a good job last year. Did you want to do it again? No individual defensive players and I vote for you as commish!

I don't see any reason to switch from a free Yahoo league to anything else unless someone is aware of a free league that provides live stats (I keep track of that in my money league though so it doesn't matter much to me).

The other request would be holding the live draft on a weekend so the majority would have a chance of attending. One of the most entertaining things about leagues is drafting your players instead of counting on a list.

Kilmoll the Sexy · Post by **Kilmoll the Sexy** » June 9, 2005, 12:24 pm

I will again play the waiver wire like a maestro and orchestrate my way to the championship game. This time around I will make sure to not have anyone left on my team that is going to be in shutdown mode for the playoffs. Victory will be mine.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 9, 2005, 3:31 pm

It looks like there is going to be a lot more intrest this year as in more than 12 teams. What if we changed the lineup a bit to reflect this so that everyone has a chance at a decent running back. As in, instead of having 3 WR and 2 RB we make it 2 WR and 1 RB? and then shorten the bench to reflect this.

Gamei · Post by **Gamei** » June 9, 2005, 3:56 pm

My only request would be a Sunday draft.

Whatever you guys decide with the positions is fine with me, although the defensive player thing wasn't too fun. =p

cid · Post by **cid** » June 9, 2005, 3:57 pm

Sounds good but will hurt on bye weeks

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » June 9, 2005, 4:09 pm

The player pool gets pretty thin if you expand beyond 12 teams. Some of the fun/strategy comes from switching around your lineup each week depending on matchups. With 16 teams, you're pretty much stuck with your starters with not much room to handle bye weeks and injuries.

You may lose a few teams during the season due to injuries to their key players and the inability to have a decent backup to remain competitive.

Kilmoll the Sexy · Post by **Kilmoll the Sexy** » June 9, 2005, 4:40 pm

Why don't we run two leagues concurrently and end the leagues 1 week early....then have the winning teams from each league's playoff meet in the final week for a real VV Bowl?

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » June 9, 2005, 4:51 pm

I be in.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 9, 2005, 5:21 pm

So far the list of people is:
1: BubbaGrizz
2: Chidoro
3: Winnow
4: Cid
5: Midnight
6: Tyek
7: Mawafu
8: Animale
9: Pherr
10: Gamei
11: Crav
12: Canoe
13: Zamtuk
14: SweetKastings
15: Aevian
16: Kimoll
17: Canelek

3 more and we can have 2 10 person divisions.

Sabek · Post by **Sabek** » June 9, 2005, 5:44 pm

After taking the Superbowl in the Ring of Shadows league last year, I think I am ready to give the VV league a shot.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » June 10, 2005, 12:52 pm

Count me in again. I don't mind the defensive players but I would limit to one at most.

Seebs · Post by **Seebs** » June 10, 2005, 1:38 pm

The ship doesn't leave the port without Seeber.

Find me a home god dammit.

Now that I've gotten my formulas for evaluating receivers straightened out, you should all be afraid. PH33R!

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » June 10, 2005, 4:48 pm

Count me in if you don't have your full 20 already.

Atokal · Post by **Atokal** » June 13, 2005, 12:13 pm

Count me in.

Xyun · Post by **Xyun** » June 13, 2005, 2:56 pm

wow... a lot of interest. I was interested but I guess I can bow out. I already have 2 other leagues i play in and one of them is cash money $1000 to the winner.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 14, 2005, 9:29 am

18: Sabek
19: Deward
20: Seebs
21: Waran
22: Masteen
23: Atokal
24: Xyun

I think we should be able to support 2 leagues of 12 teams each. The Leagues are locked right now with these people. The question is who will Commish the second league?

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 14, 2005, 9:38 am

League can be made now!

I created the Veeshan Vault NFC league. It will take the next 11 people.

Congratulations, your team and league are now registered.
• Your new League ID# is 62215.
• Your draft is set for Sat Sep 10 3:00pm CDT [ Add to My Calendar ].
• Refer to the help pages for more information about drafting.

Password is vault.

Someone else form up the other league. We can work on the point system and such after that Pick the 4 team play off on weeks 15 and 16 so we can have a superbowl on the 17 week. that still needs to be figured out.

Kilmoll the Sexy · Post by **Kilmoll the Sexy** » June 14, 2005, 10:10 am

We need to make sure the settings are all the same for points in each league. Basically we may have to calculate the points for the VV SuperBowl by hand. Won't be a huge deal to only have to do it once......unless we can find a way to have the league run an extra week somehow without screwing things up.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 14, 2005, 10:24 am

Having the settings the same shouldn't be hard to do. Doing things by hand could be different. However we need someone to commish the other league and set up the online draft as soon as possible. I grabbed the latest weekend before the regular season I could.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » June 14, 2005, 1:33 pm

The Wonderlics have joined the senior league.

Sabek · Post by **Sabek** » June 14, 2005, 3:28 pm

Cabilis Lizards all set up.

Crav · Post by **Crav** » June 14, 2005, 3:33 pm

Joined the NFC league. At the time of joining the league had 5 people in it.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · Post by **Midnyte_Ragebringer** » June 14, 2005, 6:45 pm

ummm, you need to change the draft date. You have us drafting a couple days after the season begins.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 15, 2005, 9:16 am

SHIT! Ok I am totally sorry about that guys. The best time I could find now is August 13 at 3:30 CST.

Thanks Mid for seeing that. For some reason I thought the league started later because the Packers first home game is supposed to be the 18th.

We still need a Second Commish else we are only going to have a single leage with a first come first serve package.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 15, 2005, 1:32 pm

Only 2 spots left in the NFC league. Still need someone to commish the AFC league.

masteen · Post by **masteen** » June 15, 2005, 2:05 pm

I will commish, but where do I go?

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » June 15, 2005, 2:26 pm

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

Select your league name Veeshan Vault AFC

and a password I used vault

select Live Draft

You will have to pick a date. I went with August 13th (cause I fucked up the earlier choice).

don't worry about the settings as we can work those out later.

Last year we had to wait until July to create leagues so I was really surprised that it was open already.

Seebs · Post by **Seebs** » June 15, 2005, 2:27 pm

I'm in. now to fuck up the draft.
