Lucas1138 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 As current presiding Supreme Overlord and Champion of the NBF, I say no. There's an interesting twist... whoever wins the league gets to decide any and all rule changes for the next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groove terminator Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 i'm thinking no as well, but i am waiting to hear what people want as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 How similar/different will this be from our recent football draft? Oh and if every owner came back...and we had more than one person wanting to join in, I would NOT be opposed to expansion. I mean we'll have our keepers, but we'll have fewer draft options and slimmer pickings. I'm okay with that. Think of it as an adventure, and a test of your managerial skills, to make selections from a more shallow pool. That's if there were an expansion. Big if, I know.

groove terminator Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 problem being i have only had 7 people reply to say they are in for another seasonkinda annoying when i know people have read a PM from me but not bothered replying, pretty rude espn is back up, i am going to re-activate it soon will be pretty similar as that runs extremely well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texascat Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I want in. Again, if any teams need a replacement owner or whatever, I will take it. My managerial skills are 2nd to none! I enjoy competing against all of you. Thanks in advance! Texascat---a future Champion lying in wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm sorry, GT. I will be signing up tonight. School started and haven't had a chance to settle into a schedule yet. I'm a committed manager who does rotate the players and plays, so I won't be a zombie team. I liked last years set up but I think we should toss the rookie rule for now. Although if I remember correctly, I think only my rookies ended up performing well last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Are we really gonna keep 4 players? That seems like a little much, given thats the equivalent of 2/3rds of your true 'starters' Also, how do we feel about losing the round of the keeper you've selected? Like, say I keep Kobe Bryant- I then wouldn't have a 1st round pick because I picked him in the first round last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groove terminator Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 it is an interesting thoughti would like to hear some other thoughts on this too as the keeper deadline is coming up in a couple of days (i can push it back as it seems we are lacking the convo at the moment not realising how close we are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 It makes you have to consider the 'value' of a guy. It adds an interesting dimension to the game, its worth discussing if nothing else. And, the time to add it would be this season since we haven't had a crop of keepers come and go yet.

groove terminator Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 alright well it looks like we will have to go with a league of 10 this season since the keeper date is tomorrowbut considering that there are only 5 teams which have selected their keepers so i will postpone the keeper deadline a week so far only myself, lucas1138, rock, pharaoh jza & exodus also still no word from shadowdog, dr destructo, superdragonv2.1 after having a PM sent to themso i am thinking that they aren't interested in continuing and we'll cut the league size down to 10 which means the free agents wire will be deeper, texascat is looking to join so he will be able to take over a team i think lucas's suggestion has merit, would love to hear thoughts from others on this and any other suggestions and yes the rookie rule is definitely GONE!

Ms. Spam Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah. I thank him for that. I went back to teaching school and the first week is usually very busy. I feel like it's been a busy month though. I must be used to yahoo's stats because I can't stand to use the stats on ESPN. It's horrible for me to figure out who I want to keep. I've narrowed it down a bit though. I'm trying to work on it through my lunch break today in avoidance of the teachers lunchroom. They want to sell me pampered chef stuff, GUH.

Darth Lohr Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Any particular reason for that?Well, basically I look at a keeper league as an analog to a real life team, albeit much smaller. The draft fleshes out the core - the team - you already have. I guess part of it is realism, in that sense. Also, there's a logistic side: I drafted a young stud PG (Deron Williams) with the mindset that that position was set for many years to come. Does it also mean I never get a 1st round pick? That doesn't seem fair or make sense to me. Keeper leagues are unique in that while you are playing for this year, to some degree you are also planning for next year - especially that initial draft. To come in after the fact and make such a change, in my opinion, would really lessen the whole experience, not enhance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groove terminator Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 alright team goad & team akil have been removed (dex couldnt commit which is fair enough and there has been no response from dr destructo despite numerous PMs)there is also a small division realignment due to the two teams being removed coming from the same division, so the current Beers will be moved across to the Jordan Divisionalso no word from austin despite numerous PMs and attempts to contact him via aim as well, so an invite has been sent out to Texascat to join the league. remember keepers must be selected by Monday 14th September 5pm ESTif you don't select 4 keepers then there will be a pre-draft keeper selection for those teams to select the number of players needed to have 4 keepers, then we can begin the normal draft after that drafting dates will be finalized soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
