Hello fellow Malazan football fans.

For a few years we had, imo, a pretty damn awesome fantasy football league on here. And then last year 2 people, who hardly visited the forum anymore, tried to make it easier on themselves and fucked it up for everyone. In my humble opinion.

So i'm thinking a league like we used to do, 10-14 teams depending on who wants to play, and we do our draft on here in a seperate thread, you get somewhere betweent 12-24 hours to make a pic, random draw snake draft etc. We can fine tune the scoring and rules before we start if needed.

We've got about 3 weeks till the first preseason game so as long as we start in the next week or so we shouldnt have to rush.

Whos in?

IN... I have been going over lots of data this off season. Drafting TIM (god bless him ) Tebow first round bitches... Nothing but upside.

[Grumble]

If we can get enough peeps .... I'm in !

[Stalker]

hell yeah!


As long as we actually do draft in another thread instead of the stupid auto-pick, I'm in.

[Vengeance]

I believe that is what the suggestion is.

If you can explain to the stupid dutchman how this works (the draft system, not American Football) in one-syllable words and no more than 3 parapgraphs (pictures are welcome, diagrams more difficult than a single line slowly snaking up or down aren't), I am willing to compete for the bottom rung of the ladder.

Although quite frankly, I will have to warn you chaps. My timezone might fuck up the pace of the drafting, so I'd happily take a step back and watch the crazy 'mericans go even crazier over two lines of mastodonts crashing into one another with fast guys trying to catch a pin point precision grenade.

Nah, we've got plenty of time till the season starts. Plus Grumble is already in anyway.



OK, a short explanation.

The draft is pretty simple. We randomly draw each team a draft number 1-10 (assuming 10 teams). Then the first round order is 1-10, round two snakes back 10-1 (so the team picking last in round 1 gets the first pick in round 2), round 3 1-10, round 4 10-1 and so on. Usually 14 rounds.

Thats it.

Thats it.

OK. So basically, if NHL.com's guide to fantasy NFL is worth its salt, I'll be looking to draft a running back with scoring potential (and a good injury-free record) and a qualified QB in round 1 to 3 (perhaps grabbing a wide receiver instead), then fill up until each position is covered and we all have a team. Got it, then '

Well, they're sports so damn boring they need other stuff to talk about, apparently.

[Brujah]

I should be able to play.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I'm in!

[Slow Ben]

Aight homes, thats 9. 12 is the best number for a league imo so if we can get 3 more that'd be awesome.
Actually 2 would be good, if we cant find a 3rd i'll make my brother play, even though he hates it. But to be fair, I think he hates it because he sucks.

[Stalker]

make him play!

[Lady Bliss]

So in if there's room!

[Brujah]

Gotta make room for Bliss.

She's a girl! It'll be one less person to worry about!

JUST KIDDING.

Bet she beats us all.
