adam Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 It is about that time to set a draft date and get the pay details squared away for this season. Also, any GM's not participating this year? Can we get a roll call? I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 What are the details on the league, like format, scoring, starting lineup/roster, entry fee etc. If there's an opening I could be interested, I haven't paid much attention to the Talkbears league. I run a small pot money league at work, and participate in a couple others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixote Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Last year was the first year in a long time we did not have a free redraft league here for members to play. I miss the challenge. I would love to see it start up again. I do not know much about the $$$ League. Hopefully, if there are openings, the Commish will give details for those wanting to join. Heck, if there are enough openings, I might even give in and give it a try if a free redraft league is not set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ary is the commish and I believe it was $25. It is a Keeper League, and we will have to see how many GM's are returning this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Another option is to expand to a 12-team league. We only had a 10-team league due to interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Another option is to expand to a 12-team league. We only had a 10-team league due to interest. I am going to be in China from Aug 22 until Aug 29th and will not know if I will have internet connect allowing me to draft online. They censor stuff over there, so if we can avoid those days, Im in, if it works out for one of those days, I will have to pass. I dont remember the amount but think it was 30$ to get in. i would prefer more like 50$ but dont remember it being that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Another option is to expand to a 12-team league. We only had a 10-team league due to interest. BearFan2000 is interested and was the first to throw his name in for a team if available. If a 2nd opening is available I would like to be considered. Maybe we can get a 12 team lineup, much better than 10 IMO. In addition, as I mentioned earlier, if there is interest in a "no fee" redraft league maybe we can bring back to life our league we has here in the past. I have a ton of free time, bored to death, so I can easily manage to play two FF Leagues this year. If anyone is interested in a very good office pool, a pick'em pool, I have been in one for quite awhile (I did real lousy last year but still enjoyed the challenge). It has very good payouts and the guy running it is a good chap (and a Bears Fan). Check it out at 6 DAYS TO SUNDAY Last year the payouts were: (A lot of different pools you can enter!) Weekly Pool - First tiebreaker is total wins, second is the Monday night score 1st - $155 2nd - $30 Survivor - Tiebreaker is the most consecutive wins 1st - $735 2nd - $85 Loser Survivor – $460 Margin – $440 Lowman – $310 Team – $540 ($180 per teammate) High 5 – $300 Bracket 32 – $320 Season 1st - $950 2nd - $500 3rd - $300 4th - $200 5th - $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingtwig Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Considering we have got through the 1st preseason game and we have yet to hear anything about the league I'm guessing it's not continuing on. Usually by now we've already established the draft.time and half of us would have paid by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixote Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't believe jason ran it. I think it was adam. To refresh my memory I searched the forum for threads from last year for FFB. DrunkBomber was indeed Commish for the Money League LT2_3 was the Commish for the free redraft league. The free league did not return last year so I am guessing if we want one we will need to start a new one. In fact I did a search of posts by LT2_3 and the last time I can see him posting in the forum was August 18, 2015. We need to get things rolling ASAP.

Pixote Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 OK, I have set up a league through Yahoo for the FFB #2 League, Free Redraft. The settings & draft time can always be edited, needed a starting point to see if there was enough interest. See the thread I started for more details.

We did most of the organizing, and decorating ourselves with the help of a few family and friends. I was up pretty much all night prior to the day of finishing up the slide show for the reception. By the time the day came we were exhausted but it made the wedding itself seem so easy and stress free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
