Is anyone interested in starting a Metanet Fantasy Football League? We'd need only eight players. ESPN has a very good fantasy football page, and I figured getting a draft scheduled shouldn't be too hard.


EAST
1. Blackson - Iceland Badgers - 3-1 (NEEDS TE)
2. smartalco - Team Alco - 2-2
-. rocket_thumped - Kansas City Blues - 2-2 (NEEDS RB)
4. SlappyMcGee - Montreal Broncos - 1-3 (FIELDING OFFERS)

WEST
1. (x) - Team Baldy - 4-0
2. (x) - Team Allen - 2-2
3. Heartattack - Texas City Golden Ponyboys - 1-3
-. (x) - Big Dawgs - 1-3

Put me down as a possible, I guess.

EDIT: If we had a "mail-in" draft over 24 or 48 hours rather than a live IRC draft everything would be much more peaceful.

That is the league. The password is blox.

Right now I have it on private, but if no one joins we may just open it up right before the draft to fill some empty slots. We need to coordinate a draft date and time. For now, I have it set at Saturday Sept 11th at 10:00 PM ET.

This would be better for me on any other night of the week. Fridays and Saturdays are always a little busy for me.

How about the thursday of the ninth?

In order to change the draft date, people have to vote on the date here: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/referenda?leagueId=925344

I can do this, but earlier than 10. I wake up pretty early. I can do Thursday at 9 GMT-5/Eastern

Whatever. I don't see why we can't have a mail-in draft over a couple of days, but it's all good. Carry on without.

The nice thing about ESPN is that if you aren't present at the draft you can set it up so it drafts certain players in a certain order. Similar to a mail in draft. Example, You rank your top 30 players in each position, and then what position you are going to draft each round, then the computer simply takes the highest player in your ranking available at that position.

What timezone is meant by 10? It's 9:30 here and I definitely do not want to miss the draft.

Edit: My bad, it says it up there. Also, I just realized today is Friday.

ESPN notes that we should all arrive an hour before the draft, so hopefully 9PM is good for everyone.

I've registered #Fantasy, so we don't populate #n with our trash talk.

Looking forward to the draft tonight!
