GAABoard Fantasy NFL - Superbowl V - Champion Crowned

Who is missing from last year?

It's easy enough Eastern Pride. If you like the NFL, it's for you. Go to the yahoo.com and register an account there, then go to the Fantasy Football '09, make sure you pick the free version. Select Join an Existing League and put in the code for the Montana Conference (357481) and the password (cardinals).

You can read away in there about the rules etc, but in general ...

A draft will take place on Friday coming, and you will select players online with all the other managers in the league. You must select a certain quota of QBs, RBs, WRs etc etc.

Each week you will then pick an active team from your roster, 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2WRs 1TE etc and you will gather points for the week based on how they do in real life. (4 points for a TD pass, 6 for a rushing TD, -2 for a fumble or INT etc etc etc)

Each week you are playing against another manager in the league, and the top 4 teams go into 'conference' semi finals and finals.

The reason why I call it conferences, is because we have too many for 1 Fantasy league, so we have to run 2. Hence the Montana and Payton conferences.

When the fantasy league season is over in week 17, the winners of the 2 conferences progress to a Playoffs prediction competition to determine the overall GAA Board Superbowl champion, currently held by Bombidal.

Join up though, it's good craic and good aul' interest.

is the payton draft not on till friday week then Az?

[AZOffaly]

Aye Friday week.

Just about the draft, most people seem to have their best internet connections at work, and so that's why it's a weekday. Also I picked Friday evening, as I think most people are on a wind down at that stage for the weekend. I had asked before about preferred draft days, and that's more or less what the consensus was. Plus it suits me better than weekend. My 2 year old doesn't appreciate Daddy at the computer for 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon

[AZOffaly]

Don't forget lads, Fantasy Draft for the Montana Conference today at 2.15 pm. As always, please test your system can run the applet using the 'test your system' link.

Arrive early, and here's a couple of tips/requests tip, given that it's in work hours, and we'll all probably get dragged into doing real life stuff.

1. If you have not pre-ranked your players, because you intend to be at the draft (like myself), then make sure you drag the ones you are interested in into your queue, in order of preference. That way Yahoo will auto draft the next highest when your turn comes if you are not there. You can change this list throughout the draft.

2. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not walk away from your computer without clicking the 'I am away' box. Otherwise everyone else will be left waiting for your 90 seconds to wind down each time. You can unclick it when you return.

Try and get in around 2.10, the draft order will be decided just before hand.

Cheers

What time is the draft on Friday?

2.30pm. I can't f**king access Yahoo in work !

[heganboy]

dammit, missed the live draft but thats not a bad result all in all...

[Galwaybhoy]

Dont know if I'll make the life draft but I have pre-ranked them.

[AZOffaly]

Howye lads,

Same applies this week. Get there early, and please select 'Autopick' (they changed the terminology) if you are going to be away. Auto picks happen in 10 seconds, otherwise it will run all the way from to 90 secs.

Also, use the watch list to drag your preferred next players into the queue, that way if you select autopick it will work from that list.

Beware of leaving lads there though. I had my two QBs picked up, and then wasted a 7th rounder on Eli Manning because I had dragged 2 QBs into the list and was called away.

I was looking at how many players were drafted last Friday, so to make sure I would have enough I pre ranked 235.  Though to be honest I made a good effort pre-ranking about the first 90 or so going by a host of different things and my own opinion.  After that I just flew through the rest of them.  Took me an hour or so but you could do it quicker as long as you don't get carried away with it!
