Basically. You can still bid $0 on free agents, and if no one else bids, or you have higher priority than another $0 bidder, you get the player

Basically, players get locked once their weekly game starts and cannot be claimed until the full week of games has completed and bids have been tallied. On Tuesday, we'd open up FAAB Blind Bidding, and at 3:00 AM Wednesday (which I believe is ESPN's Waiver Processing time), the highest bid on each player wins and the requests are processed. After that, all unowned players are open as free agents and can be added for no cost until their game starts the following week, when the process then begins again.

I'd be fine with auction since a 16 team snake draft seems daunting but I'm honestly good either way. Should be fun

Quick overview of how the process works for newcomers to the league. Everyone in the league should post a toxx in this thread as a safeguard against cheating the system and not shipping beer, so go ahead and do that. At the end of the year, the 1st-3rd place winners, plus the regular season points winner, will be shipped boxes of beer from varying numbers of league participants. Winners will post their location in the thread, and we'll work to identify who sends their box where based on how beer distribution matches up. So for instance, I live in Chicago, but if I won, would prefer to receive beer from Goons not in the Chicago area, so we'd try to line it up to get out of market beers to the winners more often than not so people can try as much new/different beer as possible. Each league participant is responsible for putting together a box containing around $50 of beer, and shipping within a reasonable time (let's say 2-3 weeks) of the season ending to their assigned recipient. We'll be flexible on shipping timing in case of freezing temperatures. We'll also post some guidelines/tips on how to ship for first-time shippers. Everyone should strive to put together a mix of beer that is either only available local to where you live, or is otherwise unique or interesting. Bombers, cans, bottles and even growlers are fair game. Try to compile a mix of different breweries and styles. If you're going to be packing IPAs or anything hoppy - hold off on buying until shortly before shipping to ensure freshness. We can also get beer preferences from the winners, or at least figure out what styles they hate, to help better guide the box you put together. There are a bunch of people who are much more knowledgable than I am about both beer and trading, who can help provide some guidance and tips too. Edit: I am  -ing myself to not be a scumbag and to deliver on my promise of shipping a box of beer to one of the winners of this Fantasy Football league, or else face eternal shame and banning from SA.

Last year I was late on beer shipping, but lived so drat close to my recipient I hand delivered it. This year, when I lose terribly I will make sure to send out my package of beer in a timely fashion.

I hereby decree that I myself that I will promptly ship out a unique selection of local brews to said winners of said Fake Football League, else face eternal shame and bannage from Something Awful Dot Com. I put together a similar box of beers for a secret santa a few years ago and it was a lot of fun mixing and matching craft brews the recipient (hopefully) hasn't tried. Maybe I'll win and won't have to deal with it, but I probably won't so I'm looking forward to the challange.

ESPN is showing the draft orders 1-16... is this correct? I thought the order was determined an hour beforehand.

Just to clarify (and apologies if I didn't explain this well) - everyone will purchase and ship beer regardless of winning or losing, but to the victor go the spoils.

I ask because its showing me picking 14 of 16. Looks like ESPN set the order already. I'm fine with that, just wondered if we are running with it our using something else. Edit: I see its changed. No biggie.

TubeStank - shipping will depend on where you are and where you're shipping to, and how much you're shipping, should range from $10-30.

I don't think we've heard from everybody yet re:draft time, so we may want to be prepared with a second backup date if we get a bunch of no-shows. Is Wednesday 8/26 good for everyone, just in case? I would hate for anyone to have to autodraft, especially since this came together late. For now, let's plan to log on for the draft and see how many people we are able to get.

I've got a draft 8/26, but I can try to do both at the same time. I'm commishing the league I'm drafting for Wednesday though, so it's not ideal but I could do it.

I'm in and going to send a $50 package of beer when/if it is required to me. I'm putting some stuff that can sit aside right now, even. I'm ok with Wednesday, but would prefer tonight but whatever's right

ING myself to send out a wonderful box of beer and pics of me crushing the spoils of victory at the end of the year. Going from 3rd to 1st this year, I feel it! I'm good for tonight or Wed. as the draft. For the new players, my team is pretty easy to spot because my espn account name is the same as my SA account. This year I'm rocking Thru A Bottle Darkly (DARK). Dammit and now I just realized it should be Threw A Bottle Darkly.

I'm going to Vegas on Wednesday and that would be bad so hopefully we can get it in tonight. I promise to put together a box of beer for some nerd who will do much better than me in this league.

I myself to send a nice box of beer to the winner, by which I am referring to drinking my own bottles since I won't get close and fail this year. Also I say to keep the draft tonight since I'm sure many have already planned for it. Hard to get 100% participation anyway.

It looks like we have 14 people confirmed to draft tonight! I sent a PM and email to see if the last remaining person can make it as well. I will be jumping into the draft room around 7:30 to hang out and start drinking what sounds like an interesting beer, so if anyone wants to shoot the poo poo about rules/setup/what beer they are drinking, will see ya there. Cheese decided to drop out, so we have one open spot. I may try cross-posting to the beer and fantasy threads to see if we can get a last minute final addition, but if not, we may need to autodraft and find an owner later. Edit: 15 confirmed for tonight. Looking forward to it! Posted ads in two threads, hopefully we'll get one more. Quarterroys fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Aug 25, 2015 |

I believe if you're on desktop, it should pop up in the draft window once it goes live. Not sure if the chat works on mobile, but will check it out.

Sweet. That's all 16 teams. Thanks everyone for making this work with your schedules, and I'll see you in the draft room in a little while. 16 teams is going to be interesting, only ever done 12 teamers before.
