HGH & Centaur Paintings is back for the 2015 season. All praise be to Alex Rodriguez, may this be the year he transcends into his final equine form. Hot New Changes entry fee to keep people interested in the last month of the season Mandatory 3 Keepers rule 2 Divisions replaced with 1 Division (because ESPN is awful at h2h schedule balance with 2 divisions) This year's gimmick theme division name is Serie Nacional Cuba. Feel free to make Cuban-themed baseball team names. This is a majority goon ESPN league, two people aren't from this site but they're equally as nerdy about baseball. There are at least 2 team openings this season, and there will likely be more as some people haven't replied to me yet. Scoring is Average, Home Runs, RBI, Runs, Walks, and Stolen Bases on offense. Strikeouts, Wins, Saves, Holds, ERA, and WHIP on pitching. Here are some giant images explaining the roster sizes. There's an extra pitcher's spot or two than most leagues, and 3 DL spots for all your Tommy John probable starters. There's no limit on roster transactions, but to prevent someone at 4:59am EST on a Monday picking up the next Mike Trout, we have the Free Agent Auction system. Playoffs is top 4 teams based upon record. If there is a tie we look at your head-to-head record. If that is somehow a tie I will flip a coin. Post here or send me a PM if you want in. I've never done the entry fee before, but I think Paypal is the best way to do it as long as people send the money as a gift? Draft date set to Sunday, Mar 8, 9:00 PM ET. Let me know if this is awful and doesn't work for you Rand alPaul fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Feb 26, 2015 |

Does the entry fee turn into a prize pool for the winner?

Any news on the draft date/time? I'd like to play in a goon league but I've got a busy schedule this month.

I would definitely be interested. Looking for a second league for this year, and I'd like it to be a goon league.

Unfortunately, I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of owners to see if they want to return. Gimme like 2 more days to try to talk to them then I can let you know. We have at least one opening still, and paypal for some stupid reason is dragging its feet reactivating my account.

Good luck with that, I tried three times to get reactivated during AGDQ and the only two e-mails I received were automated "tell us how well we did in resolving your issue by completing this survey" e-mails. Also good luck to whomever gets my team, I think I left it in pretty good shape!

Hah I just got it confirmed. Apparently "within 24 hours" means 5 days. But hey, it's not like things like dates matter to financial institutions, right? I hate using paypal but oh well. And your team is in pretty good shape I think someone will snag it, I'm about to post the teams that are available.

Okay here are the teams that are available: Team Three Team Four Team Five I cannot remember what goon ran Lincecum in Amsterdam, I hope responds soon. cebrail posted:Any news on the draft date/time?

I have not set a draft date yet, and I'm guessing we aren't going to draft before March considering the four vacancies, so I figured once we fill up we'll then talk out a draft date/time that everyone can show up at.

Still interested, I'd like to take either team 2 or team 4 if I have a choice, based on their keepers.

Is it just three keepers forever, no restrictions, no inflation? I do like Team 4's group of top three guys, but gotta go with Trout on team 2 Lord knows I won't pony up to buy him in my other auction league this year

There are no restrictions on keepers except that you must keep 3 players from your roster. That prevents someone from keeping 0 guys and jumping to the front of the draft pick selection.

Yes, please let me know what day/time absolutely will not work for you for the draft. I will begin to herd cats and nail down a date. I am guessing a Sunday evening will probably work for most?MassaShowtime posted:I AM loving BACK Oh poo poo weren't you the champ last year?

Ok I sent out an email about draft dates. I need to think up a good Cuban-themed baseball name. Question: To request the league buy-in money, do I send an email out through the paypal account or just post my email address that is linked to my paypal account? I have never done this before and hate paypal obviously. Rand alPaul fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Feb 25, 2015 |

I'm not sure I can get home before 10 pm ET. Even that might be tight. I can try and shift things around on my end if 9 ET works for the rest of yall.

The draft is now listed as being at 8 PM ET on 3/8. Was that your intent? edit: I've never played with a FAAB in baseball nor football. Can you explain it to me? Do we start with $100 and that has to last the whole season? Does every transaction have a $1 minimum? coronaball fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Feb 28, 2015 |

I wasn't sure if 2-3 days warning was enough time for the draft (also a lot of people haven't paid in yet). Should I bump it up to Sunday, March 1st? EDIT: If I did that I'd have to remessage a ton of people and do it immediately. I changed some FAAB settings around after reading two ESPN articles on it that proved good points. Basically you bid for guys on the waiver wire, and three times a week they get added to your roster if you outbid the other owners. Most weeks people only bid like $1-2 on guys, but where the FA system comes in great is when people drop someone that is good (the first year we ran it someone dropped Hanley Ramirez for some loving reason) or when guys get called up, like George Springer. Last year I think I put like $20 on Jonathan Singleton (lol) because my offense was dog poo poo. It cuts down on streaming a little bit, but if you plan out your starts you should still be able to do it. I pushed one of the days to Saturday so you can stream a pitcher for Sunday (which is the day of the week a lot of people stream) Rand alPaul fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Feb 28, 2015 |
