Its that time once again - and the IOG Football League is now open for registrations! Last year's participants have been auto-emailed invitations. For anyone new that wants to play here are the specifics:
Yahoo league
10 teams max
head-to-head format
LIVE draft set for Sunday August 31 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (USA)
Yahoo league # 130472
password is timmy
Hopefully the draft date/time this year works for everyone. If there is a huge problem with the draft date/time for the majority of interested participants we can figure something better out.
See you there!
:cheers:

Hey Dean 5:00PM here is 10:00PM in the UK - that's not so bad is it?
Now thats what I'm talking about.
I'll be able to go out for a few beers, get loaded, and then take part in a live draft. I wonder how I would fair making a team selection whilest heavily under the influence compared to last year when I was sleep deprived and surrounded by baby equipment and changing diapers.

Everyone should be loaded to participate in the live draft. More fun that way when you draft someone like Craphonso Thorpe in the first round...

Yeah none of us are really football experts we just do it for laughs.. but you want to check in and participate week to week because if you forget to come back and check, some of your players may be on a bye week and you will have to make substitutions - ditto for injuries, etc.

I would join the league but i will be in a plane en route or in San Juan, Puerto Rico at that day/time. If you guys were to do it a week earlier I would join. I do a competitive $ league with buddies so I'm not a pushover or gonna go afk after week 3.
crankwalk
07-10-2008, 11:39 PM
hehe lewdogg does the plane have wi-fi? lol
this league isn't super hardcore competitive, mainly for fun you could just pre-rank your players and take your chances with the computer picking for you? :D
Ollieleet
07-10-2008, 11:52 PM
I wish I was on the bob longs :( can you change your teams name?
crankwalk
07-10-2008, 11:59 PM
I just checked on that, and there is a way. Log into the league.. click the "MY TEAM" tab along the top red toolbar, then choose "Edit Team Settings" you should be able to change it there :tup:

Hmm I don't remember exactly, but last year we had 6 teams it took under an hour? does anyone remember? it depends on how fast people are to pick.. and how many teams show up.
Twisted_mister
07-11-2008, 06:00 PM
Everyone *should* have a list they are working from. I wasn't in the IOG league last year but I have played in a few leagues and it is painless if everyone is prepared.
KeenDean
07-11-2008, 06:57 PM
Last years draft seemed to take an eternity. Probably because I was wide awake at stupid o'clock in the morning. I definitely remember it being fun through. Any plans I made before the start quickly went out of the window, so this year will be off the wall as I go along...

The other thing is, if you don't pre-rank your players then Yahoo has some default rankings but those should just be a guide. They don't always make the best choices based on your need...

Those default pre-rankings are the murder/death/kill for your team. Hence why I haven't signed up yet and done my rankings b/c it's a pain in the arse!

07-15-2008, 07:53 AM
No, you are wrong. EVERYONE should just let Yahoo choose for them. I works GREAT!!
I will show up and "observe."

Hey folks, anyone out there reading this that has not yet joined the IOG Football League and would like to, please do so! Right now we have an uneven amount of users for this head-to-head league :D. Needs to be even so everyone has an opponent each week. Thanks!

07-30-2008, 05:48 PM
Aug 30th still too far out to know if I'll be there for the Draft. What's the deadline to sign up? (please say Aug 30th 10 min before draft if a slot is open)
-Tim
crankwalk
07-31-2008, 12:55 AM
I think you can sign up right before the draft, I can't find anything in the rules about a deadline although it does say that draft order is randomly chosen 30 min before the draft. And you can only pre-rank your players 45 min before the draft. I guess maybe an hour before the draft (5pm EST) is the cut-off to be safe? But i have no idea honestly lol
IRStookmySpyder
07-31-2008, 12:07 PM
I can't wait for this draft. We need more people to sign up though. It's free just sign up and have some fun.

Yes Daigz please sign up, the draft isn't until Sat Aug 30 5:00pm EDT and right now we have uneven teams lol. Need 1 more.

Come up with another and I'll play.....
crankwalk
08-20-2008, 12:24 AM
Right now the league is full because I didn't want an extra to join and uneven the teams (that's the only problem with head-to-head scoring).. if one more person expresses interest before the draft vwjimmy, i'll open two more slots...
Squirlly
08-26-2008, 12:03 AM
Was Hoping to be available for the draft but as it is I'm going to be on the Paintball field at the time of the draft... This is why I was going to wait to the last moment to sign up. I don't pre-reg for anything even if it costs more.
The last thing I pre-regd for was a Classic Car Show and the night before the show my VW bug caught on fire less than a mile from my house :skull: . But it was put out before the car burned to the ground but I couldn't very well show it the next day :facepalm: On the bright side my mechanic had not pre-reged his car for the show so I just gave him my pre-reg so at least it wasn't wasted.

Yeah wanted to get in on it as well but i have a scenario game the weekend of the draft that is if we don't get wacked with another storm here :)
crankwalk
08-26-2008, 09:41 AM
Okay guys how about if I change the draft to the next day (Sunday Aug 31) at the same time (5PM EST)? Looks like that one is available. I just know Sundays people go balling as well...
Weekdays are available as well but I know with work schedules and things that may not be doable, its why I was looking at weekends. Basically all drafts have to be done prior to Thursday Sept. 4 for week 1 scoring.
Twisted_mister
08-26-2008, 10:23 AM
That works for me.
:)
crankwalk
08-26-2008, 10:26 AM
okay that's two out of the current seven (me, twisted) that Sunday Aug 31 5:00PM EST works for.. anyone else? :D
vwjimmy, squirrly, or jay? new proposed time work for you guys at all?
Daigz525
08-26-2008, 11:00 AM
It all works for me.. just let me know the final time
crankwalk
08-26-2008, 12:11 PM
okay cool, just waiting to hear from a few more folks before i change the date if so
crankwalk
08-27-2008, 01:13 AM
Well looks like the Sunday 5PM slot is full.. Yahoo seems to only have limited availability for certain dates and times and if they fill up that's it.
So.. right now the latest on Sunday the 31st is 3:45PM but that could change at any moment because weekend drafts seem the most popular.
*EDIT* I misunderstood the rules. I originally proposed a weekday draft sometime the first week in september but that won't work because in order to be eligible for week 1 scoring we have to draft by the sunday before the week that football starts (which means Aug 31).. NOW.. About the weekday draft.. that's still doable because well, Friday the 29th is a weekday and there's a 6PM slot open - this wouldn't interfere with weekend paintballing and may be a better option for those that want to join up at the last minute...
so what do you guys think of moving the draft EARLIER one day, Friday Aug 29th, 6PM EST?
Opinions please!
Twisted_mister
08-27-2008, 07:37 AM
I will be travelling. :(
I can do Monday at 6PM.
crankwalk
08-27-2008, 08:34 AM
Good news.. somehow more time slots were released by Yahoo.. I just checked this morning and Sunday the 31st 5PM EST is available again so I went ahead and switched it since this seemed to work for you guys. I'll be emailing everyone in the league and I'm opening two more slots for those that wanted to get in...
*EDIT*
TWO MORE SLOTS OPEN, PLEASE JOIN NOW :)
KeenDean
08-27-2008, 08:54 AM
Sunday the 31st it is then. I'm getting excited...Who will I pick??????
crankwalk
08-27-2008, 04:22 PM
Hmm looks like we lost jester of paints but gained vwjimmy so we're still at 8. If two more people aren't going to join before Sunday I might have to close this up again so we don't end up with uneven teams. Thanks to you guys for bearing with all the changes. DRAFT IS ALMOST HERE!
jester sorry to see you go I hope it wasn't because of the draft change :\
crankwalk
08-27-2008, 10:24 PM

What the hell happened :eek:. Only 4 turned up for the live draft :facepalm:. I'm deeply disapointed...
Well, it was fun chatting with each other during the draft, and as last year, I look forward to seeing how the season pans out. We'll see if those that did the autodraft will be happy with thier selections made.
It maybe that next year we'll have to go back to a later time slot so more can be there for the draft. If it means me staying awake until 2,3 or 4am GMT time, then so be it. It's way too much fun to miss out on :D.
:tup: thumbs up to those that made it fun...

I guess that just means you didn't think through the draft real well... not that I should be talking I wasn't even at the draft (and am getting crushed this week too)

Hey JAY let me be the first one to congratulate your Fins on two awesome underdog-type wins in the last two games. Could it be you knew something ahead of time with your fantasy picks of almost all Fins? hehehehe

WTF...Reggie Bush is listed in the "can't cut" list.
The guy has had surgery and ain't goin to be playin so why can't I cut him :mad:. Due to other "injuries" and bye's I've had to do some changes I wouldn't have planed on doin.:facepalm:
Lovin the FL though. It makes a difference come game day, and your watching the results come in to see if any of your selected players are harvesting the points.
crankwalk
10-31-2008, 10:16 PM
Sometimes the can't cut list takes a few days to catch up. Darren Mcfadden was on there for the longest time from what I remember when he wasn't playing well or much with the turf toe. Now he has double turf toe :(

true
As far as the fantasy goes, I need to start paying attention for the rest of the season or I'm going to finish dead last!!!
crankwalk
11-03-2008, 01:15 PM
Yeah I know sometimes its hard to check in on it, so if you can only find a little time, it would probably be best to do it close to the end of the week so you can see if anyone is injured or out for the weekend or whatever. And those pesky bye weeks!
And now with Thursday Night Football starting soon there's even more to keep an eye out for...

As they say on the Bob and Tom Show every Thursday.... What the hell is wrong with the NFL??
13-13 TIE?? Common I watched the Last 2 quarters of the Bengals-Eagles game... THEY BOTH SUCK
11-10 Win for Pittsburg? I didn't see this one was that 3 FG's and a Safety or a TD 2pt PAT and a FG.... Couldn't be a 2pt PAT....

Clinched a play-off spot again...for the second year running.
Not bad for a brit...:P
I'll just have to see if I can work on my 3rd position from last year. There's some strong competition out there, but hey...it's all good fun.
crankwalk
12-04-2008, 01:23 PM
haha and I'm also in the playoffs.. I think that means we're the four who got in, with two weeks left to go in the "regular season" for fantasy.
Man, some stiff competition.. I don't know if anyone can knock off IRS ;)

I did... 102 to 59:eek:
One game left with The Bob Longs and vwjimmys' Boys both having a player each in tonight's game. Who will come out on top and meet me in the final?
It's just too much excitement for me to handle.:facepalm:

As always...I'm gracious in defeat. :facepalm:
I was close but obviously not close enough. Going into the Monday night game, vwjimmy'sBoys for leading 121 - 87. I had two players playing in the Monday nighter. I needed 35 points from a projected 26 points. It was just too much to ask of Forte and Gould. I only pulled in 23 points, and so lost 121 - 110 just 12 points away from a close call win.
I'd like to say a huge thanks to all who participated in this years fantasy league. With more playing this year, it made the live draft much more interesting (although there was a poor turn out for the actual live draft). I hope all those who participated this year will sign up again next year. Maybe we'll entice a few more to join in as well.
I certainly will be joining again, as I still pursue that ever elusive first place. Last year I came 3rd, this year 2nd, not bad for a "brit" who follows the great silver-n-black and "supposedly" knows sod all about football.
Until next year...:D
crankwalk
12-26-2008, 05:57 PM
Fantastic job Dean. You almost pulled it off!
But it was a fun season regardless. I cannot believe I actually scraped out 3rd place, I thought IRS was going to wipe the floor with me, as he had been doing to everyone all year long...
:)
Can't wait for next year lol. people BETTER show up for the draft this time or banned
