[tommy]

anyone wanna get in on some of that? like yahoo sports?

p.s. i'm back from the dead! weee!

[Shell]

I can run the same leagues I always have if people want, or if someone else wants a chance to be the commish, I am fine with that too. Y'all let me know what you want :)

[Captain Slack]

You've always done a great job Shell, so if you're up for it count me in.

[Alicia]

Me too!

[caneshockeychick]

I'm in...but only so y'all can all kick my a$$ again:lol:.

At least I don't have to worry about ending up with Grahame as my goalie this year :laugh:

[WilkesCanefan]

I'd like to be in if you have the room. :)

[Shell]

all are welcome, and it is first come-first serve :)

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll set the draft for 9/26 unless the majority speak up for a different date.

[AbNormal27]

I'm in for the Head to Head league!

[caneshockeychick]

I got an email...I joined something. :lol:

[WilkesCanefan]

I joined. Thanks.

[Captain Slack]

I got an email...I joined something. :lol:

Me, too!! :D

And I'm currently #1 in the draft order, so NO ONE ELSE JOIN!! ;)

[Shell]

yeah, it was very nice this year.. Yahoo actually saved my settings, leagues, and managers from last year so I just had to hit Renew. It automatically emailed the managers from last year. Nice surprise!

[LETS GO CANES]

I'm in again! Gotta love the start of the season. Hopefully you guys will be easier on me this year than last.

By the way, I'll trade you a coke and a Kit Kat for a large popcorn. Any takers? (You guys know how I like to trade!)

[Solracer]

Im in!

[WilkesCanefan]

I accidentaly signed up for the rotisserie and I have no idea how that works, so I signd up for the head to head. If I need to delete the rotisserie team let me know.

Tish

[Shell]

You can do both if you like, or I can delete you from Rotisserie if you prefer.

Thanks. I guess I'll stay in it as there are not many signed up for it. I'll give it a try. lol

[LETS GO CANES]

When is the draft? Thanks.

[Shell]

I was just coming in to post that I am setting the draft to ready at noon today so get your picks in quick if you don't go with the default! It seems Yahoo usually takes until midnight to run it but it can happen anytime after noon.

Good luck to all!

[Guyute]

Both leagues drafted, if you haven't noticed yet.
I was last in H2H. :( Oh well, I'll take a challenge I guess. Good luck all

[Shell]

and I was second to last *argh* Guess no one will think I monkeyed with the draft order lol

[caneshockeychick]

Yeah, I got better goalies this year

[LETS GO CANES]

Thanks for running the FHL again this year. Glad to see all is right in the world and that I finished on top again. (haha...just kidding) I appreciate you being a great comiss!

[Shell]

Thanks, but I failed miserably this year. It was just too much for me with the new baby so my sincere apology to all. Glad to hear you won, I had no idea. I haven't logged in for ages.

[MoBigRed]

Congrats, LETS_GO_CANES!

I was going to join in again this year, but i was too late to the punchbowl. Can i go ahead and reserve a spot for the same league LGC joins next year? BigRedMonkeyHeads have been dormant for too long, and it's high time for a return...

[Captain Slack]

Looks like it's that time again!

Just checked Yahoo Sports & they've opened up fantasy hockey for leagues. Anybody interested?

[Shell]

I am ready to pass the torch on to someone else but am available to help or answer any questions :)

[AbNormal27]

I'm in again for a Rotisserie league!

Aaryn

[Captain Slack]

So, who wants to step up & form the leagues?

[Captain Slack]

Alright! I've been talking with Shell about taking on some of the fantasy league responsibilities. She's offered to run the Head-to-Head league, but isn't interested in the Rotiesserie league. I'm willing to take that on, even though I've only played Head-to-Head in the past. What I need to know, is there enough interest in a Roteisserie league to bother forming one? If not, I'll do a second Head-to-head instead.

So, what say you?

[Alicia]

I'm in for H2H...

[Shell]

OK, head to head is set up with the same settings as last year.

Tommy, I love you man but please don't join. You are 0-3! Everyone else who will commit to play all year is welcome! If any newbies are interested, let me know and I can go back and find the instructions I made a million years ago :)

[WilkesCanefan]

I'd love to play again this year. Thanks

[Shell]

LOL at HockeyWench - I won't out you if you don't want to be outed, but you always have great names

Only got three in the Rotisserie. Maybe we only need one league?

[AbNormal27]

It's still early. The season doesn't REALLY start for 2 weeks.

[MoBigRed]

Rats, am i too late for both? Or has the setup just changed? I don't recognize the opening screens. Aw shucks.

>> You are not allowed to view this page because you are not in this league. (Error #152)

[Captain Slack]

Rotesserie is still open.

[MoBigRed]

Thanks! Not sure what happened first time through, but it worked this time. I'm registered in both leagues... i crush other teams like bugs they are now.

[Shell]

Head to head is still open too, several spots left!! Come on people, you know you want to do it! We'll draft on Monday.

[Captain Slack]

OK folks! It's decision time! Do we need two leagues? Demand seems to be low this year & I'm not sure two leagues are warranted.

[Jay]

I'm signed up in both. I just wanna get this draft on :)

[Jillsdad]

little bit late but I am in for both leagues!!!!!!! Firefly (as in the vodka)

[Captain Slack]

Rotisserie now has seven players. I'd like to have at least one more, but either way I'll set the league to draft on Monday.

[dakuwan]

I'm in for the Head to Head again.

[MoBigRed]

Holy Toledo, Yahoo has changed their setup big-time since i last did this. I'm going to have to figure this out...

Anyway, i drafted Sheldon Souray in the rotisserie league, and no way in hell i'm willing to have him on my team. Any interest out there? I'd need a D-man in return, preferably one who isn't sitting in the press box every night.

Wow, got Tavares as well. In about 2 years, that would be a really good pickup...

[Shell]

If you look under the "Submit Changes" at the top of the page, you can change it back to classic instead of drag and drop.

and dayum, first night and I already forgot to set my lines *d'oh* Gotta get back in habit!

[MoBigRed]

Phoenix vs Pittsburgh... doesn't sound too promising, think i'll bench Bryzgalov tonight.

Crap!

FAIL!! :D

[LuvDaCanes]

How is scoring figured in the rotisserie league? I look each day and can't make heads or tails out of it.

[Captain Slack]

Ya know, I'm the Commish in that league I'll be damned if I can figure it out either!

[Shell]

In a Rotisserie League, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category and are totaled to determine an overall score and place.

So, our 12-team league, the team with the most goals scored will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in assists, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5].

Therefore, the maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category.

So, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144].
Rankings within the individual scoring categories (G, A, etc.) are based on the cumulative stats earned by all active players during the season and not on any individual day or game.

Therefore, the overall ranking of your team will rise and fall depending on how it performs relative to the performance of other league members. So, the phenomenon of "losing points" can be explained as your rank falling in one or more of the statistical categories used in your league.

[MoBigRed]

I'm not a Wings fan in the slightest, but Osgood's really pissing me off, kids...

[Alicia]

Shell, would you mind looking to see if you can figure out why the shutout one of my goalies got this week isn't showing as one? Thanks!

[LuvDaCanes]

Are we doing fantasy leagues again this year?

[WilkesCanefan]

Are we doing fantasy leagues again this year?


I'd love to.

[Captain Slack]

I'm sure we will. Probably ought to start a new thread, though.
