[MEK-Dangerfield]

Sorry Scott, the link I have connects me to my team.   I don't want you drafting me third stringers!!

The E-Mail I have connects me to my team.

We are the E-Body league 391987 if that helps you.   

[pink panther]

that will do it, thanks Mikey

[pink panther]

where did you go to rank players for the draft Mike?

[pink panther]

nevermind, I found it

[MEK-Dangerfield]

where did you go to rank players for the draft Mike?

Oh man, I hope you didn't hack into my team and place Brett Favre #1.   

[MEK-Dangerfield]

Mike, you can rank the entire list if you want.  If you are at the rankings page, you see the drop down boxes right above the center box where the players are pre-ranked.  If you look closely, you'll see that one says SHOW: Top 25 - click it and you can choose Top 100, Top 500 or ALL.  And you can rank by position using the next box.  My advice is to stay with the current rankings. 

Thanks Greg,

  I didn't see the drop down menu. Hey, maybe by the end of the season I will get the hang of this.

Sorry Guys, didn't mean to ignore anyone today, spent the WHOLE day at the Woodward Dream Cruise, looks like everything worked out okay, and our additional 2 teams joined, this is really going to be a great League, can't wait to start playing.

[pink panther]

looks like this is going to be fun

I am still trying to understand the Free Agent pick-up during the Season, I may need to call into Yahoo! Sports, there default choices don't really make good sense to me, your thoughts?


Weekly Waivers Done 

Use these settings to give everyone in the league a fair chance at picking up players. Sunday - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at 10:00am PT each Sunday with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday. First game of the week - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at the start of the first game for that week with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday.

And this one too, we need to agree to.



 Waiver Type Details Done 

If waivers are enabled, all players dropped from a team's roster are immediately placed on a waiting period from zero to seven days to give all managers a chance to claim those players. Choose the waiver processing option best suited for your league.

In a normal waivers systems, waiver priority determines which manager's request is processed first.

Continual rolling list: waiver claims are processed in waiver priority order and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list
Reverse order of standings: waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and successful claims do not affect waiver priority list
Weekly rolling list based on standings: waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list
In a Free Agents Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) waivers system, each manager receives a dollar amount to place blind bids on waived players. The manager with the highest bid at the end of the waiver period claims that player and that bid amount is deducted from the team's acquisition budget. If multiple managers place an equal bid on a player, tiebreak options are available as described above.

FAAB w/ Continual rolling list tiebreak
FAAB w/ Reverse order of standings tiebreak
FAAB w/ Weekly rolling standings tiebreak

On a Good Note - I found a Free Draft Randomizer on Rotoworld.com

What this software will do is at Random, select our Draft order, and in return email each of us the results, this should help us in our strategy when we are ranking our players in knowing who has 1st pick, who has 12th pick. We will know our draft order in advance. I can then manually load the order into Yahoo! Sports for our League.

I honestly never paid a whole lot of attention to free agent waivers.  If someone wanted to drop a player, I've rarely looked at picking him up because there's usually a good reason for the drop - injury or lack of production.  In which case, he'll clear waivers long before anyone wants to pick him up as a free agent.  My advice is to go with the default settings.
