NFL Training camp is going to be 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 7th. 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 7th and runs through New Years EVE 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. MEOWMIX AND JINORA ARE MY BEAUTIFUL COHOSTS Post "in" if you want to play! i copied all of this from last year and its really long so if somethings inconsistent tell me and ill clarify 1. MeowMix 2. EDR 3. Water M. Boat 4. mafia champion jalmont 5. Finch 6. Celestial Phantom 7. Diamondslight 8. jinora 9. meeps 10. Cheeseburger 11. Metagross
in edit: A) are we using the same group as always? B) @Water lemme know if you need my email then C) if we are using the same league as always are we keeping the same number if possible and do I need to let the friend I got last year to know if he wants in or not? D) if ya'll have a discord so I can keep up with events / fantasy basketball as well throw me that if you guys don't mind. K thanks.
Cheese requested signup off here. Because of the way FF is i'm gonna close signups now. If you still want to signup let me know on here or on PO and I'll talk to you about it and we'll try to work it out.
@Water will the date and stuff be discussed here or via forum PM or on PO/discord? just wanna know so i can stay in touch w/ the discussion, know when to be on, etc.
I'd prefer closer to the start of the season as injuries happen in preseason. I don't think everyone here has access to the PO discord either so you can just post your preferences here or PM me if you prefer. The earliest I'd really want to do it is the 26th.
i wasnt implying that i wanted to do it sooner rather than later, just wanted to be on the same page as everyone -- 26th/27th and 2nd/3rd are fine by me at p much anytime assuming i know in advance i think
I likely won't be able to do a draft on the 27th depending the time, I already have one set up for that date since about last week. I'm pending to join one more (so i can be in 3 leagues like usual), but til then only date I'd rather avoid is the 27th for now. If the 3rd one goes through and there is a conflict of interest I'll let ya'll know.
I'm going to set a tentative date for the 2nd at 9 PM. I'll put up a discord later. edit: 9:15 EST ESPN didnt let me select 9
The discord link is https://discord.gg/UVaQURG We are currently set to draft the 2nd of September @ 9:15 PM. Please let me know if that doesnt work for you!
