Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I would like to head up the pay-leauge this time if anyone is interested. The only diffrence is that I will expect the cash UP FRONT this year. The honour system does not work with people who have none in the first place. Plus someone will go MIA half way into the year due the fact their team might suck or they just don't care about the cash at that point in the game. It was $25/per team last year with all the money going to the winner. The money must go toward a jersey of equal or more value then the prize money. So basicly you will buy a jersey you normaly would NEVER consider buying but like to drool over. As last years winner I got the Team Canada 3rd Alt Nike Swift authentic. Which was on sale for $190+shipping which was a perfect price. The two deadbeats that stiffed me set me back $50 bucks which would of been a custom job on the jersey. As it stands the jersey is still blank .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formyhunny Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've only played fantasy football, but not fantasy hockey. Someone mind teaching me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I won my head-to-head league last year. Either way I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I've never played rotisserie, only head-to-head, so that's my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaNoobie Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 There's a lot less variance in rotisserie for what its worth. But seeing as I do not intend on participating, I'll try not to add too much fuel to the fire I used to be a giant pool junkie. Wasted WAY too much time on pools...

AngeloS76 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Although a buy-in league sounds enticing, I'd be more inclined to do a free league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think I'd prefer head to head points. We can set point values for each category rather than just straight up category wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyhighguys94 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Alright fellas i set it up...the draft is Sunday October 2nd, 9:00 PM. The league ID is......ID# 19239 and the password is icejerseys. Its a head to head points league and i customized the settings to what seems will be a competitive fun league. The only negatives i made in the point system is Losses and Goals Against. There are 3 left wingers,right wingers, and centers, 1 extra winger and forward spot, 5 defenseman, 3 goalies, 1 IR, 4 bench and 1 utility for a total of 24 players. I adjusted the basic Yahoo points, i think it looks pretty good...there are 18 teams total so lets get it done boys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsl135 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'd say we should probably shorten the rosters by a bit. Right now, as a league, we're going to draft 432 players. That's an insanely high amount. If people don't care we can do it, but most leagues I've played in have 2 or 3 of each forward position, 4 defenseman, 2 goalies as starting positions. Starting so many right now is just a lot. We'll actually be drafting fourth liners most likely. I don't care, just saying. Thats a lot of players.

NYIJM29 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 My team's motto is "We Are All Fourth Liners!". Coincidentally, that is the motto of the New York Islanders! Seriously, my first round pick is Paul Bissonnette. If by some chance I do not have the opportunity to draft Paul Bissonnette, I will trade anyone on my roster (except for Micheal Haley, my 2nd round pick) for him.

redbeard3569 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Never done a fantasy league of any sort but I could possibly be down with this. Anybody got a handy dandy "Fantasy for Dummies" guide I check out before I get involved and do something stupid? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Never done a fantasy league of any sort but I could possibly be down with this. Anybody got a handy dandy "Fantasy for Dummies" guide I check out before I get involved and do something stupid? Thanks Rule 1) Draft good players Rule 2) Let me win Rule 3) Don't accept any of my trade offers. Brian Burke version 2.0 over here Rule 4) Don't draft any New York Islanders Rule 5) Look at how the scoring options work. I dont remember if PIMs count, but if they do, take at least one enforcer/high PIM guy that plays a lot in a later round (i.e. Konopka). Rule 6) Defense wins championships, offense wins fantasy (I think) Rule 7) Have a good time. Hope this helped! I really do place great emphasis on Rule 4. Sure it might be attractive to draft Tavares, Grabner, Moulson, Okposo, Nielsen, or Streit, but don't...it will not work out and you will jinx them in real life.
