As I agree with, and now remember, that defensive scoring is fickle at times I went ahead and lowered their point values a good bit. However, I do not think it is so fickle as to delete individual defensive players all together. And the draft time has been changed to September 6th, 9:30 EST

I hate defense in FF.

Good draft time though - we are getting there!

I'm in, and open to a friendly $10 wager.

kmb13592 · #5 07-18-06, 05:21 PM

I'm in. And I'm down for a $10 bet.

lightfungus · #6 07-18-06, 06:05 PM

Geoff, since you were posting the point totals, I figured you may have an opinion on my system. I essentially doubled the points to allow for a little more tweaking room. Let me know if you guys have suggestions!!

GeoffM · #7 07-19-06, 05:27 PM

To be honest, I am probably not the best person for a football pool. However, I will have a look. The point totals I used were from the other pool I have and my draft is next week.

As for the baseball pool, I'm setting that shit up next year. I have the best pitching and unfortunately there are 9 hitting categories as opposed to just 8 pitching categories.

GeoffM · #8 07-19-06, 05:31 PM

Hmm, taking a quick peak, I think we might want to add 1 point per reception. Receivers look mighty weak otherwise. 1 point isn't much, but it won't negatively affect receivers as much.

Of course, the problem is, this will also strengthen backs that much more.

jillaj · #9 07-20-06, 04:01 PM

Your hitting is still terrible. You would need 12 or more pitching categories to help you out.

GeoffM · #10 07-20-06, 04:12 PM

Most of that is due to the cumulative stats, such as ER and BB. I am 1st in ERA and WHIP, but somehow I am in 6th in BB and 5th in ER. I've noticed nobody plugs in their pitching.

lightfungus · #11 07-20-06, 05:29 PM

I certainly do, but damn I was slow the first 2 or 3 weeks, and I just can't catch up.

thrash1294 · #12 07-18-06, 07:16 PM

eejit101 · #15 07-19-06, 12:43 AM

$30 is looking set for you

drewjax · #16 07-19-06, 02:04 PM

sounds good

drewjax · #17 07-19-06, 02:04 PM

I'll play wichyall.......

GeoffM · #18 09-06-06, 12:18 AM

TP, you'll have the $10 on Stars prior to the draft tomorrow night.

Here's a thought: why don't we have a private sitngo on Stars whilst we draft? I'm down for a $10 + 1.

Talking Poker · #19 09-06-06, 12:35 AM

Ok, we are 22 hours until draft time. Here is the list of who has paid up, or at least confirmed they want to play:

Bulldawgs - gtdawg (confirmed, but not paying)
Coolieo's Crushers -
Da Bears - jillaj
Dirty Birdz - thrash
Donquitas58 - Aeq
Funging Dominate - lightfungus
Gordogg's Chiefs - Gordogg
HolyMackerel - nflchad
LA Preds - omahilo (semi-confirmed)
Mr. Monday Night - GeoffM (semi-confirmed)
PokieOkie - drewjax (semi-confirmed)
Rogue - TP
RedskinsKMB - kmb
RushNAttack -BlibbityBlabbity

That's 8 teams that have paid, plus 3 more who have promised to pay. I have no problem waiting a few days for the funds from those guys. That leaves the following three teams:

Bulldawgs - gtdawg
Wants to play, but doesn't want to pay. I think we should let him play and just not be eligible for prize money in the end. Friendly like.

Coolieo's Crushers -
No response, hasn't logged in for a while, etc. I say we remove him from the league and replace him with juiCe[3x] who wants to play. Can you go ahead and do that, fungus?

Gordogg's Chiefs - Gordogg
Don't know why he hasn't responded/paid yet, but I'm sure he will. I just PM'd him.

I think that about wraps it up. If for some reason we don't hear from Gordogg by tomorrow afternoon, we could boot his team and not replace Coolieo's, so we'll still have an even number of teams. If that happens and juice has already paid, I'll either send the money back to him or we can let his paying self play and boot gtdawg.

Hopefully Gordogg will come through and we'll be all set for tomorrow night. See you girls at the draft.

GeoffM · #20 09-06-06, 09:42 AM

Draft day boys. Will it be Bush, Mario Williams, or Vince Young

.

Gordogg · #21 09-06-06, 11:10 AM

Just transfered the $10, I'm in. I usually get home right at 630pm so I hope I don't miss my first round pick. I foresee an early clockout today if possible, heh.

omahilo · #22 09-06-06, 11:39 AM

Money sent.

good luck everyone.

Talking Poker · #23 09-10-06, 07:32 PM

I really hate defenses in Fantasy Football. Take my matchup today: I had Tampa Bay who was playing Baltimore (in real life and in my FF matchup). The Bucs got me 1 point. Baltimore? 25. Gotta love that.

Also, I thought we were doing 1 point for every 10 yards for TEs, but I guess I was wrong, because I don't see that anywhere. That had Gonzo leaving quite a few points on my bench today.

BTW - I love how my opponent has 97 points right now, and the next highest score in the entire league is 42. You know, MINE.

Fantasy Football is rigged.

GeoffM · #24 09-10-06, 07:47 PM

Chicago is shuting out GB right now or I'd have a very comfortable lead on the commish.

jillaj · #25 09-10-06, 08:06 PM

You had to know when you plays against Da Bears that we were gonna bring some kick ass D. You did have some tough luck starting off aganist me. I really like this real time scoring feature though.
