Yes, that is correct. Also, one left, so we only have 7 now.

There are still 4 slots left for the standard snake draft league on Yahoo.

We have enough to run, but I'd prefer 10, and 12 would be amazing to have.

If no one objects, I'll cancel the auction. I ran one earlier, and it's really long, and the interest just doesn't seem to be there.

Ozie: Yes, there will be a way for you to pre-rank players if you can't make the draft. Go to "My Team", then in the box where it says how long until the draft, it'll give you a link to the Pre-Draft Player Rankings. Also, you don't need any offensive linemen for fantasy football. They're only necessary to protect the skill guys.

Everyone else: It won't hurt to leave the Black Market open for now, but I'll definitely delete it if it doesn't get 10 teams by about a day or two before the draft.

Also, thanks to everyone who joined! There are 7 in the standard draft league, and 5 in the auction. I'm hoping for 12 in the standard and 10 in the auction, but I'll run at 10 for either.

I agree, .1 per rushing/receiving yard makes more sense, but by thatlogic, receiving and rushing TDs would be worth 10, and return touchdowns would be worth nothing.

I feel that at 6/-2/(.04/yard), QBs are balanced by being able to score for more TDs, but for their yards not counting as much.

Thursday, August 30, 7:00 pm Central.

(I've already drafts on the final Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of preseason, and some of you may actually have lives, that's why I'm hitting weekdays)

I wouldn't be opposed to running two leagues, one for auction, and one for good ol' snake draft.

BTW, I changed blocked kicks back to 2 points, since they're just turnovers. I have logic as to why safeties should be 4 points in fantasy football (2 "real" points + 2 "fantasy" points for the turnover), but I think that would be too radical to implement here.

I'm open to changing the waiver rules, I just think FAAB fits in more with the idea of an auction league.

I prefer 6/-2 to 4/-1 for passing TDs/INTs because that's how it was when I started playing fantasy football (in 2002). I just feel 4 points for passing TDs is wonky.

Tdog: Actually, with FAAB, you can pick up players as much as you want after the waiver period, and they're free, the only drawback is that they have to clear waivers first.

I love auction drafts (I just got done with one!), and it seems more fitting for us Dominion players to use an auction system somehow, but there are two problems with it:

1) It takes much longer than a regular draft (mine lasted an hour and 45 minutes)
2) Making the draft is very important, as autopickers tend to make the draft less fun.

With a regular draft league, I wouldn't have to make sure as many people as possible could make the draft (but I still expect 100% participation, with absences understandable in certain situations).

I have created the league, it's on Yahoo.

That would be American football. I do like soccer, but not as much as football. (Fantasy soccer does exist, but I don't think you can join proper leagues where you draft players.)

I wonder how many people play fantasy football who are on this forum? I would like to make a league for Dominion players/Isotropic addicts, but I'm gauging interest before going through with it. If you're interested, please reply!
