Updates (I also just sent a PM with payment instructions)

Draft Date finalized for Sunday September 6. From what I could tell, no one really had a problem with that date. I did move it one hour earlier, so it will start at 7:00 PM CDT so hopefully we end a little earlier. Worse case though, if you need to get out when the draft is still going on, you can get through the first part and then autodraft after that.

Payment for the league due by August 30, but try to get it in as soon as possible. Also, please shoot me a PM and let me know how you will be paying.

League Payouts will be:

First Place: $200
Second Place: $75
Third Place; $25

I'm not done tweaking scoring yet, so if there is anything on the site that you would like for me to look at, please let me know.

I am plugging everyone's email addresses into this right now, so you should receive an email here in a bit with the random draft order. I guess that's how it works anyway. Check your email that you used to sigh up for the league here in a bit.

I will also update this thread with the order, and will also update the thread starter and league page.

One other thing I see that jumps at me on further review: 2 weeks per round in the playoffs will mean that the Championship game (1/2 of it anyway) will be played in week 17 when many teams will likely be resting starters for the playoffs.
Was that intentional?

I haven't gotten an email yet, and also I vote no on week 17, if we are voting.

It's really 6 of one/half a dozen of the other to me, just curious.

No E-mail for me either....C'mon Doomy, now you've got us all ramped up to know where we draft.

Yeah week 17 affects everyone, but if it must be, then it must be. I've never done a 2 weeks per playoff round. That should be fun.

I've done the 2 weeks per round, but not in week 17....that league had an odd setup though:
12 teams - one division
six teams to the playoffs - top two receive byes
play each team once for a 11-week regular season
Wildcard round was week 12
Semi-Final was 13-14
Final was 15-16

No, I just haven't adjusted the schedule yet. There won't be any matchups in week 17. I'll get to that here shortly.


As far as the draft order and emails, I am still waiting on email addresses for a couple people, so if you got a PM from me asking for your email address and haven't responded yet, we are all waiting for you.

I can't do anything until I can plug everyone's email address into the generator.

OK, we were only waiting for an email address from "whoarethechefs," but since everyone is waiting, I am just going to type in my other email address, chad@cmd-sales.com for that team. That team name is Tuscon Cactus Pricks for everyone's info.

So, all that to say, the email addresses and team names have been entered, and I will be hitting submit as soon as I finish this post.

Look for the email with drafting order in a minute or so.

I will also be updating the thread starter and the ESPN site.

Pretty good opening pick for me. I still haven't signed up in the league. I've been incredibly busy, and the 4 people on this site who read my posts can attest as I have made 6 posts in the last 5-6 days. I promise I'm in, I'll get signed up, and I'll send payment here very shortly.

Cool....in my other two money leagues, I'm #1 and #11.....I guess #6 gives me a new place to mock from.

Really? How did you find that? That's the last week. I'd be curious to see how many I've had since, say, 08/08/09. I'll bet it's a fraction of that, never know though. Maybe a light day for me is 15 posts a day.
