OK I think I have the settings right on this one.

league name: footie (http://fantasy.nfl.com/registration/leagueDirectory?filterDraftDate=2010-07-29&filterDraftType=&filterPublicScoring=&filterPublicPositions=&jSubmit=Filter&leagueType=private)

Password = 88909402

Draft date Thursday 29th July 2010 8pm Irish time

[Aberdonian Stu]

Just for anyone that doesn't hover over the footie link it's a NFL.com league, certainly the preferable option.

Thanks for setting it up WexCar.

Jayysus thats an early draft. Missed last year due to oncoming baby so looking forward to this

[Real ale Madrid]

Watched NFL live last night on ESPN America. Will be watching every night now before the Draft :D

[WexCar]

Jayysus thats an early draft. Missed last year due to oncoming baby so looking forward to this

Yeah didnt know when would be the best time to set it up so went with the same date as last year. I can change the date of the draft if it doesn't suit most people

[Dodge]

It doesn't relly matter as its the same for everyone

I'm in btw

[SkStu]

i asked to be approved? Not sure whats changed this year but registration seems way more complicated...

[SkStu]

forget that - im registered...

To join just follow the link in post #3 and input league ID & password

6 teams joined, just 6 to go...

[strangeirish]

Still places available for teams boys. Draft coming up soon...Get in there!

[SkStu]

should we put the draft back a few days to allow us to get more people on board?

[Dodge]

Good thinking...

[WexCar]

Alrighty then, the mob has spoken :)

Draft changed to Monday August 2nd at 8pm Irish time (3pm EDT, 12pm PDT).

If 12 teams haven`t signed up by then I can just clear the empty spots and re-organise the divisions.

[Real ale Madrid]

Can we push the draft back another week? Bank holiday monday night like !

[Aberdonian Stu]

I'll sign up tonight but I don't know if I can make that draft time.

[WexCar]

Can we push the draft back another week? Bank holiday monday night like !

Is the 2nd not a bank holiday in Ireland?

[Dodge]

Thats what he means. The 2nd is the ban holiday and people are more likely to be away from their computers...

[SkStu]

im free on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th. And could probably make the 5th and 6th work. Any of those is fine with me.

[WexCar]

Ohhh!!, completely misread that post:o

The reason I chose the 2nd is that the public holiday(B.C Day) means most people will not be working and therefore more likely to be able to fit it into their schedule ( I think its not so much of a problem finding a day for the draft but getting a good time for it, seeing as we are all in different time zones there is always going to be someone at work and/or unable to get to a computer)

Anyways, I'll set it for Wednesday 4th @ 1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern, 9pm Irish.

Hope this suits most people ( I'll be in work but I might be able to find a corner to hide in for an hour)

[Angus]

I'm in - thanks lad

[SkStu]

so we could only muster 8 teams this season? Thats a pity. Any regulars not signed up, worth a PM?

[Aberdonian Stu]

I still haven't yet, don't know if Schumi has. He's usually reliable. Also did Clifford sign up?

[SkStu]

no he cant play this season unfortunately...

[WexCar]

OK I may not be able to get to the computer again before the draft( & I may be unable to attend the draft ), so I have now restricted the league to the 8 teams that have entered, no new applicants accepted as of now.

There will be 1 division of 8 teams with 15 games, top 4 qualify for play-offs in weeks 16 & 17. You will go head-2-head against each team twice plus a 3rd game against the team you meet in week 1.

Enjoy!!!

[Real ale Madrid]

And lets start with some good news....

http://www.nfluk.com/news/football-is-coming-home-to-channel-4-010910.html

Really great news. Sky to show 2 games on Sunday, Channel 4 to do SNF and ESPN to do MNF. And all the college ball you could ever watch on ESPN america. :bigsmile:

[Aberdonian Stu]

Ah awesome, glad to see SNF and MNF back within reach.

[DaveyCakes]

Pity its the Sunday night game. Us old folks need our sleep!

[Clifford]

I missed it again this year. Enjoy the season lads, have lots of fun. Cant believe another season is upon us.


Go Falcons!

[strangeirish]

Starts tomorrow night, with the Vikings at the Saints.

Week 11 starts tonight - Chicago @ Miami

[SkStu]

more importantly, in CFL the Saskatchewan Roughriders into the Grey Cup final for the third time in 4 years. Playing the Montreal Alouettes next Sunday in Edmonton. Lost to a last second field goal last year. 13th fcking man.

all the highlights give a good idea of how much we messed it up last year but skip to about 6 minutes for the real drama. :cry: :cry:

Used to love watching the CFL on NASN. ESPN dumped it as soon as they took over.

Some great games yesterday and more importantly abrring a great game from Brandon Lloyd tonight I'll go 4-0 in my fantasy leagues

i always say that in fantasy all you can do is make the right picks on who starts. Once you maximise the points available to you then youve done a good job even if you lose. In my eagerness to beat you, i did such a bad job picking my team against you Dodge. In my other leagues i have one in the bag and am 14 points behind in the other with Orton to play... what do you reckon?

[Dodge]

I'd be confident enough he'd get that

218 points for Southern Suns!

[Dodge]

65.1 points from the Ravens DST alone!

happy to have been the only 1 of 4 6-4 teams to win

[joeSoap]

Jets 8-2. This is our year....Sanchez having super second season and LaDailian Tomlinson on fire. Go Jets.

[SkStu]

I'd be confident enough he'd get that

he didnt by the way... in that league we get points taken away for sacks on QB :( which is fckin outrageous if you ask me - surely the OL are responsible more than the QB. Anyway.... im bitter.

[Dodge]

And WRs are responsible for catching passes ;)

Went 4-0 in my 4 leagues. First time this season
