And away we go! League Deets:
Below is a list of who's who, and whether or not they've paid in. I'll update the table with team names on Thursday after the draft, and then once a week on Tuesdays going forward, so that y'all have an easy reference guide.  NOTE: If you pay and your name isn't going to be an easy match for tracking, please hit me up via PM and whatnot.  One last item: I'm absolutely not committed to the league name. If y'all wanna spin up some punny/dad joke-tier ideas, list 'em here, and we can vote on 'em. Edit: Removing discord info because draft is a wrap, and replacing it with a mantra for this season: https://twitter.com/thefantasyeng/status/1567197680803188738?s=21&t=ShUju4uDVLMYljpL1WuVsA generic one fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Oct 18, 2022 |

Once we get into the season, everyone gets a fresh set of bucks to spend on waivers. Make sure to check out some of our fellow co-managers work over at Football Absurdity, they do great stuff for auction leagues!

I gave them until 5pm Pacific today. I’ve got another goon interested, so if kalensc hasn’t accepted by then, we’re going with the alternate.

kalensc has officially lost claim on the spot. I sent the alternate the go-ahead via PM, but I've also posted in the main FF thread, just in case that falls through, too. If anyone knows someone who wants to jump in, let me know. I do know some non-SA degenerates who might jump on the opportunity. We're still waiting for payments from three people: Saetare, mega dy, and The Big Jesus. Everyone needs to settle up prior to draft time. Edit: I’ve got a non-SA guy from one of my dynasty leagues interested, so the last spot will be filled one way or another. He’s good people. Might be able to convince him to sign up for an account. generic one fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Sep 6, 2022 |

If it comes down to it I'll front his entry fee Totally get it, and thanks for the info. The Big Jesus posted:I’ll get my payment in the morning. Haven’t used that site before and have been on the road all weekend. S’all good. The mobile version of that site is a little clunky, so might wanna give it a shot on a laptop or something.

Snowmankilla posted:A bit nervous that I am reading all my advice from a person in the league I believe. Probably not a good sign that I have been a football absurdity/Beer sheets guy for years? I mean… I think it’s safe to say most folks who get into this format are familiar with Football Absurdity, and all of what Drunk Nerds posted is great advice. I think it’s an awesome opportunity to get to be in a league with a couple of them. At twenty-five bucks, this is a pretty good learning experience that I think will make me a better manager, regardless of how well I do this season.

Levin posted:I know it's pretty late to be suggesting this but how do people feel about cutting the kicker and perhaps even team defense? So, getting the league filled up by draft day was already a bit of a scramble (I appreciate y’all for signing up with such a short timeline), so I kinda feel like looping everyone in on a significant last minute change wouldn’t be ideal. I’d absolutely be willing to table that for a vote if we renew next season. Cool?

Levin posted:Very demanding format but I can see why some vastly prefer it to snake drafts. Thanks Generic One for setting this up and the Football Absurdity crew for hosting us. I had fun and learned a lot. No idea how well I did but I suppose time will tell, I look forward to meeting you all on the gridiron. Glad you decided to give it a shot, and more than happy to accommodate! And yeah, thanks to Drunk Nerds and Sataere for hosting. I bailed on a couple of long-ish term snake draft leagues this season (I did help find replacements), so I felt like I had the bandwidth for an extra league this season, and I'm stoked we got it rolling with such a short turnaround. Unless you're balls-out recruiting on the findaleague Reddit sub (bleh), that can be tough to do. So, I appreciate y'all stepping up! The reasons I love this format are many, but most importantly I think it's because of two factors: 1) The ability to get your dudes, and 2) the flexibility the format allows for constructing your roster. There aren't many ways to get Kupp and JT in a snake draft, but if you really want them in a salary cap league? Yeah, you can get them. You're gonna have to get creative in filling out the rest of your roster, but it's workable. Then there's the flexibility aspect. If you wanna try rolling with a stud WR type of roster, you can decide to do that, and you're not steered toward one strategy or another based on who's available when your pick is up. I feel like it's a lot easier to adapt to what's goin on in the draft than it is in snake. This is the first season I'm only doing salary cap redraft leagues (I am in several dynasty leagues that used snake drafts for the startups, but can't really count those the same way), and I don't see myself going back to snake drafts at any point ever again.

mega dy posted:Er, can we unlock waivers a day early? I am currently stuck without a kicker and starting the Rams DST vs Buffalo because I did not expect waivers to be locked through Friday. Bass and Gay are both taken, so all the remaining kickers should be available on Friday. I think I could change the waiver period to one day instead of two temporarily, but that may have some downstream impact to what everyone’s expecting for tomorrow and Friday. Y’all wanna weigh in on this one? I’m open to suggestions here.

mega dy sorry I didn’t give you a heads up about Kamara. West Coast here, so I was really just getting up around the time the game started. FWIW, I see Kamara in the starting lineup for teams in a couple of other leagues I’m in. Think folks just kinda forgot about the early game.

Quiet Feet posted:Not really your job to monitor people's rosters. Looks like that one caught everyone by surprise too in any case. Goon Beer League had a guy put up 155 with Kamara in an RB slot. He likely would've been in the lead for the most points in a single game prize if he'd had anyone else there. Yeah, not speaking as the commish there, just as their opponent. I’m not going through and checking everyone’s rosters and alerting them if they’ve got a player out in this league. As a manager though, I do try and give my opponent a heads up if I see they’ve got someone in their starting lineup who’s out. I’m weird like that.

 drat. I didn't catch the actual bid amount when I first saw the add. Embrace The Chaos is our non-SA member. We're in a couple of dynasty leagues together. That backfield is an absolute mess, so who knows, Kyren could end up being the dude when he gets back.

Drunk Nerds posted:Needs More Bellcow, you've got to beat me this week. You have the second most points scored but a losing record. This league is causing a cosmic imbalance, the rippling effects of which could destroy our whole universe. You’re a good dude. I’ve had a number of these types of seasons, and I’m sure plenty of others have, too. First few times it’s frustrating, but once you come to accept and be cool with this being a game with a lot of luck involved, and recognize there are a lot of factors entirely out of your control, you learn to just roll with it. I’m still having fun, and that’s all that matters. Any given Sunday, y’all. Good luck this week.

Yeah, gently caress me. I definitely said I felt like Deebo and DJM were probably gonna be about equal value by the end of the season, I just didn’t think it was gonna be this bad of a value. At least I managed to trade them away where I had them in my dynasty leagues! Silver lining!

Hey, congrats and good luck to: coronaball spacejung Drunk Nerds freeman Quiet Feet The Big Jesus coronaball gets the $25 price for most regular season points. Due to the nature of LeagueSafe, you’ll get the payout at the same time as all the other disbursements. The rest of yous: I’ll see ya in the consolation bracket. Teams are now locked. If anyone has any issues, hit me up. The only team that may have a problem setting a lineup is Sataere since you’ve got a couple of dudes who may be coming off IR. If you need to drop someone, you know where to find me.

Just a quick note on payouts, since we’re only a couple of days out: Unless there’s a matchup that’s in correction territory, I’ll set the payouts on LeagueSafe Tuesday AM. For folks who haven’t used this payment platform before, you’ll get an email notification that your vote is required to sign off on disbursements. Once we hit a majority, funds will be credited to the appropriate managers wallets on LeagueSafe. You’ll have the option to get the payout in a couple of different ways (ACH or virtual check). Please be prompt with your votes, so the winners can get to spending their hard earned cash. Good luck this week, y’all.
