    NFL Training camp is in full swing now which means the NFL season is right around the corner. This thread is to gauge interest and set up a draft date for the league which starts on September 8th. That's the second Thursday in September so drafting the week before would probably be my preference. We'll be playing on ESPN which requires an account and an email. Both are free and easy to make.

    Newbies will be welcome to and encouraged to join! This is really fun and its a blast rooting for your players. Just going to copy this next part from Finch's post 2 years ago.

    1. STAY ACTIVE, EVEN IF YOUR TEAM SUCKS. I can't stress this enough. Again, if you've played before, then you how annoying it is if people forget about the league and stop caring. If you go inactive, you will not get to play next year.
    2. There are no rewards, as of now at least.
    3. Taken directly from Waterbomb on smogon because he says it best: No gimmicks. Being a beginner is acceptable. Asking for advice occasionally and in private is acceptable. Being completely dependent on everyone else without doing your own research is not. Most major Fantasy hosting websites have written tutorials on how to play, and I suggest you check them out if you've never done this before.

    The league starts on September 8th and runs through New Years Day, so be prepared to be active for those 3 months. It's really only about 15 minutes a week commitment (it can get a lot longer if you do research) so its really not that much.

    I'm also looking for (a) cohost(s) although preference will be given to people I've previously worked with. PM me on the server or here if you are interested. You can also PM me if you have any questions or w/e

    Post "in" if you want to play!

    I have picked MeowMix as my Co Host. His dedication and excellent sense of timing will help ensure the league runs smoothly.

    Also since we have 8 signups already there is a chance that we will need 2 leagues. I'm not going to deal with logistics until closer to the start date but keep that in mind.

    honestly though even if you auto-draft you'll probably end up with a team better than whatever crap meowmix picks LUL

    No you didn't, you lost the final by like 15 points. That's not .2 lol.

    Anyway time wise I'm fine with it, as I'm pretty flexible, but the only one I wonder most is Diamonds and his work schedule. Seeing as I got to set up a 2 times for this one, and a separate one that he and I are in (@Water do you need a resend of the link b/c you haven't joined that league either yet), so I just gotta know so I can coordinate them, though likely we're doing the 2nd one on that weekend/LABOR DAY since that's when people generally have off.

    So, yeah I just need to coordinate stuff to make it so I don't have 2 at the same time or anything.

    yeah nevermind, I went to check, and for some reason it was only showing one week of the finals. Wasn't showing full box score for both week 16 and 17, dunno why that happened, but alright I was wrong.

    Right now the draft is set for the 1st of September at 11 PM. I'd like to get the draft done sometime that week (August 28- September 4th) and have the most people there as possible. While I've talked to most of you on the server about times or you've posted here I'd like those that I haven't talked to post to make it easier to find a good time. It should only take about an hour and a half to draft if we actually get it right the first time.

    @diamondslight, @Duster, @Finchinator I think you should already have access to the group so let me know if you don't. @Draciel, @EvilDingoRobot, @braveswin11, @Cheezeburgar, @Jalmont you need to make an ESPN account if you haven't yet and then PM me (or Meow or Celes but I'll be fastest) your email on either the server or the forums so I can add you in. If you are having any troubles don't hesitate to contact me.

    Edit: Moving to the 31st at 11PM EST.

    RE: playoffs

    in previous years we've had 4 teams make playoffs and playoff matches as two week long affairs. this has worked, but I was wondering if anyone has any strong feelings toward a 6 team playoff with 1 week matches and a first week bye for the top 2 teams.

    y/n/who cares?

    I got someone to replace Draciel's spot. So there's no worries there. Also there is a downtime if we change the time of the draft before it actually sets in, iirc it's like an hour wait after changing it, so we can't just do it right before and be all good, so we'd have to change it within the next like 2 or 3 hours, so it is kind of late to notify everyone, so why not just keep the time we have?

    Re Playoffs: I don't care either way to be honest. I'm fine with either format, though I like how we have it now.

    Double Re: I'm going to assume @Water and @MEOWMIX have bothered to get everyone on the same page, doing it tonight at this time, that way things can go off without a hitch. Also, if you are late, you are going to be autodrafting until you show up, and I set the timer down from 60 seconds to 30 seconds, because 12 team league takes too long with the autodrafts if enough of you fuckers don't show up as scheduled. So be sure to show up, and Water/Meow make sure you have a way to notify/contact people as necessary.

    I am ready to win. Also, I don't care about the playoffs system. Either way is fine.
