Add your name to the list by editing this post. We will need an even number of players if possible for a balanced schedule. 10 or more would make it fun.

on a side note, I will be out of cell service for a large portion of the next month or so, so I'll get everything fired up sometime in the second half of Sept.
that should give us some time to add some teams and discuss any rule/scoring changes anyone might want to suggest.

I see that you're planning to set up everything later this month. However, since I'm new in the fantasy league, I have a few questions. Of course anyone will be more than welcome to familiriaze this newbie with a fantasy league... 1. Is there any specific timetable available when the draft and any other important dates will take place? 2. I've read somewhere that you can either take part in the draft personally or set a list of players and the system will always pick you the best available or to let the system to pick the players for you completely? Are all 3 options available? Surely I'd like to take part personally but who knows if I'll be able to wake up during the night... 3. Is there any restriction in how to pick the players? I mean if I can pick let's say 20 centers and 2 goalies or are there any limitations in picks per position? Next questions will surely follow up as I'll go deeper into this. Have to say, I'm looking forward to it. Joining this league finally made me quit one football (soccer) manager which I've been playing since 2010. I was no longer interested in it but did not want to let it go after such a long time. Hockey fantasy league is more than a good excuse to quit it  |

Vardar set it all up last year, we just hoped on for the ride. I'm sure we can get a time when we are all out of bed, but looking at GT team from last year , maybe he was still sleeping lol,I don't know if the system will pick for you , didn't see that option last year, you have to draft so many forwards and dmen, and think you need 1 goalie

Once vadarx sets it up he will give us the link to get us started. There will be a rules page there to explain how it will work for us. When we do our draft we can work around time between Europe and North America but it's usually galaxy trash that gets the short end since he's in east Asia. Late morning for America is usually early evening for European cities. Also yes the computer will draft for you if you're not available that day. Not sure about setting what players you want and if they are available that it will draft them for you. I was late to the draft and the computer picked my first 8 picks for me. Explains why My Team Suckie® was so bad last year. |

Thanks for the insights quys. I have no problem to get up at night as well, unless it'll take 2-3 hours. If it's within 1 hour, I don't mind and surely want to be present. Just wanted to know all the options in advance. Like to pre-set the order in case my alarm fails...

No objection against someone having two teams. i'm trying to think if there would be some kind of advantage, that's why i thought trades would have to be outlawed between your 2 teams. you could make one super team out of both teams if you wanted to and likely rule the roost fairly easily. also, when your 2 teams (team X and team Y) met, if it was more advantageous for team Y to win, team X could "forget" to dress a few players or intentionally ice a shit team. anyways....it's likely all a moot point. hopefully we'll have an even number of teams and allwill be fine. |

if we have a 7th join, I'll take another team if need be. I get the whole trophy at the end of the year, whichever wins though... 😀
if we have an odd number, I'll actually just let the computer draft it and then I'll change the lineup.

Seems strange to me that with all the members we have that we don't have 2 more people jump in.
jaty84 jumped right in when merper dropped off the forum.
I thought hsbob said he wanted to join toward the end of our last season.

Maybe put out a thread in the Hawks Talk? Maybe many haven’t really looked here or paid attention? I think there’s more that’ll join, just maybe they haven’t been on the boards in a while!!!

It's been 30 years since I owned an NHL simulator program on a floppy disk. I always took the 91-92 Blackhawks then traded off Brian Noonan or Jocelyn Lemieux + Dominik Hasek for Mario Lemieux (Hasek was not Hasek yet) and then Stephane Matteau + Frankie Kucera for Ray Borque. I did well each time I accomplished that for my roster.
I'm in if there's any openings left.
