hobiedude16 *Official* 2011 NFL Fantasy Thread

[HobieDude16]

So I am bored at work, and decided to make this thread a bit early. I copied/pasted Bakos' post from last year, but updated it with the correct dates, times, and links. Hopefully this will be fun again! Let me know if the dates/times/rules/whatever needs to be changed.




Draft will be Aug 27th (Saturday) at 8:30PM EST. If you don't plan to be there, remember to set your pre-draft rankings. The URL for the league is:


EDIT: This seems to be the way to sign up:

Ugh!, I can not find the league for some reason....links come up with an error, and the search is not finding it.....

 

[HobieDude16]

Edited the links and stuff. Hope it works now.

 

[HobieDude16]

How many WRs did we have last year? I want to say we had a total of 10 players:
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 Flex
1 K
1 D

Is that right? Or did we only have 9, and it was 2 WR and 2 RB?

That seemed to work, cant figure out how to join the league though.....I think this happened last year also with nfl.com fantasy. Was hard to find how to join it

Just edited the settings. See if you can join now.

I'm going to make it 3 WRs.

 

[bakos24]

ok, i found it now.....I couldn't just join though for some reason. I had to apply to the league which sent you and email

 

[HobieDude16]

Weird. I got the email, and it says:

"To allow this user to join your league, reply to this message or send an email to [email protected] with the following information...

League ID: 401055
Password: mustang

You can also send this information via the "Invite Friends" tool found in your League Manager Tools page."

I guess you have to join using the number, not the name?

 

[HobieDude16]

Ah ha, found what might work...

thats weird, there was only one option when I found the league. which was to apply....maybe after Im in, wait to see who wants to join our league, get there emails and send invites at one time, maybe that will be quicker/better or, they can just do it how I did. You will just have to respond to them individually.

[HobieDude16]

[gt40_2003wes]

[Bluffing024]

In.

 

[Venom351R]

I want in, I'll have to sign up tomorrow on my way to bed, have to be up early for work.

 

[HobieDude16]

When Travis joins, that puts us at 6. I know CO and his kid will probably join, and Tim said he'd play, so we need 3 more (that I know of).
