Thought I'd be the one this year to make the topic for this.
Good to see you all again. I haven't been on these boards since last year.. Just really busy with Real-life that it's hard to do stuff that you did way back in the day. That said, I can't miss our annual GW Fantasy Football league that's always been a blast every year that I've been in it. Though I have to be honest, from personal observation... this place looks much less active compared to a couple of years ago. I don't mean to turn this into a 'gw is dying' statement but I can't help but point that out. Well... I slightly smaller community is always better as it's easier to keep under control.
Since this is essentially the same thing every year, I will just copy + paste ase's excerpt for the league from last year:
ase[/b] from 2009]
For those of you who are new: GW has been running a fantasy football league on Yahoo for the past few years and it is always a big bushel of fun! If you haven't joined a fantasy football league before, now is a great time to try!
Here are the current League and Scoring Settings, but they are SUBJECT TO CHANGE. I mostly just migrated the scoring settings from last year but made a few notable changes per yahoo's recommendation that we can BICKER over (Passing TD's are now 4 points instead of 6, Throwing a pick is -1 instead of -2, getting sacked doesn't lose points, and 40-49yd FG's are 4 points)

The scoring settings can still be changed (I'm not entirely happy about the current QB scoring setup, especially pertaining to sacks) and I'll probably make a poll to decide to final Draft Day/Time.

-
count me in! this is one of things I look forward to every year!
edit: It wouldn't let me join... something about not having permission to join this league????
but going to this page (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/register/joinprivateleague_league_select?.scrumb=) and manually typing in the ID and password worked... I don't remember having to do this in the past????
-
COME ON DUDES
we can't let the brits and their crummy fantasy soccer be more active than this!!!
-
but soccer plays are a lot hotter and more attractive
-
I'm in.
Mr T (The Immortalz) Max Teams changed from '12' to '20'.
wut
-
Oh, I thought that was a soccer fantasy league... But it's not. :crazy:
-
I'm in. I'm going to miss the draft though because I'll be in Beijing at the time.
-
I will join, but apparently I had to reactivate my Yahoo account and it will take 24 hours.
-
I'm in, and I'm all in this year. Really stoked.
-
we have an odd number of teams (won't work with head-to-head scoring)
-
i saved the day from your idiotic odd-numbered status by registering diaper-emporium.gov into your silly little fantasy league
i am infuriated that Dr. Wong's 3d Barbecue and Animal Hospital was too long for yahoo's neanderthal wanker 20 character team name limit :mad:
i haven't really seriously followed football for a few years though so i don't know much about what's going on outside of the major stuff. i am counting on finishing last or close to it!
don't know if i'll make it for the draft though. i feel like i should because the yahoo autodraft always liked to give me daunte culpepper even when i had him on the DO NOT DRAFT list
-
whoa! haven't been here in a while. nearly forgot! I am down to play
-
i feel like i should because the yahoo autodraft always liked to give me daunte culpepper even when i had him on the DO NOT DRAFT list
hahaha. man, he was probably on EVERYONE'S DO NOT DRAFT list, hahaha
-

I remember that... Computer just miraculously autodrafted Dante Culpepper for you every single year... Haha, funniest thing ever!
On a more serious note, we're now up to 11 teams, which is great. More than I thought... But we can't start with an odd number of teams. We just need 1 more to join and we'll have an even 12.
-
If the draft could be on Sept. 3rd or later, I'd be very appreciative. Won't be able to make it otherwise. But if that would be an inconvenience to you guys, then don't worry about it. I've had to autodraft the last two years and it always turned out pretty well!
-
You know... I think it's better that we make it past September 3rd both for your convenience and also to give time for a few more people to join.
We're still stuck at 11 so if we add 1 more, then we got an even 12 to begin. But we can potentially get even more people to join so we'll wait it out... Draft is now rescheduled.
Your live online draft is set for Sat Sep 4 2:15pm EDT, which is 10 days, 14 hours, and 22 minutes exactly from the time that this post has been made. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time.
-
cool cool... earlier was actually better for me but its ok... i'll try and make it anyways
-
Hey I totally can't make the draft that weekend, I will be out of town..
-
I suppose I could be more specific in that I would like to voice my opinion that the draft be moved outside the 3rd-6th. This is one of few drafts I play consistently and I'd like to fully participate if possible. Any time after the 6th, and even late on the 6th I'd be able to make. So as far as that's concerned I'm pretty flexible.
-
yeah before the 3rd would be fantastic.... although I realize this is the opposite of what Shinobars is asking for. The sooner the better imo
edit: it doesn't look like anyone knew has joined in a while so just open it up to the public until we get our 12th team....
-
So just to appeal to most of you guys, I've now rescheduled the draft:
Your live online draft is set for Wed Sep 8 9:45pm EDT, which is 11 days, 9 hours, and 26 minutes exactly from now. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time.
This is exactly one day before the actual season begins. The system won't allow me to have an earlier date/time. This is also on a Wednesday night, a time that is pretty bad for me (weekends are only good) but I have little choice here. I'll still try to make it and stick around for my first few picks.
I also made the league Public temporarily, until we can either get the 12th team or even a few more teams. I hope for 20. We have time.
-
that works for me, thanks
-
HEY
someone joined.. so we have 12 teams now... can you close the league to the public now, please?
-

Done. We are now set.
12 teams is pretty good! Gonna be nice and competitive.
-
i get adrian peterson and you guys can have the entire detroit lions. (i will also give you the browns)
-
Just updated my player rankings since I'll be working tonight and will miss the draft. Why the fuck is Plaxico Burress included in the rankings? I thought the dumbass was still in jail.
-
11 minutes until draft time!!!
-
i like how i did not bother researching anything and consequently ended up having autodraft pick up two receivers who may not play this year
but i really like that the guy taken with the first overall pick got into a car accident hours after our draft. it's a shame he drives somewhat better than donte stallworth or else he's be hella dead right now(along with several other innocent bystanders in a 13 block radius)
-
Haha I missed the draft. I knew that'd happen...
-
goddamn you Arian Foster...
actually goddamn Jotuns for picking him up right before I was about to :fogetangry:
-
haha, what what!
I'm just kicking myself because I intended to grab him in all my leagues, but let him slip in every one but this one.
-
I'm getting pummelled by Grunt this week... Damn't, I wish I had made the draft. Now I'm stuck with crappy autopicks...
Beanie Wells let me down huge. Andre Johnson as well... and I don't think Jay Cutler will do nearly as good this year simply because his opponent were the Lions.
Not looking like a good year for me.
-
can't believe i'm actually going to start michael vick in week 2. can't resist that delicious detroit matchup.
i will shit myself if fucking kolb makes a miraculous last-minute recovery from his broken brain and throws 5 tds in the game while vick sits on the sidelines wet-dreaming about drowning puppies

Haha good choice... He tore up the Lions. And your opponent actually started Kolb who didn't even play obviously because he's injured.
The bad news? You're still losing big.
-
1-0 to 1-3... and I lost 113-32 (!!!) this week! Thanks Cutler for the -12 you gave me this week!
Horrible... My team needs a rehaul.
-
....Must bump... topic... DP!
But it's been a month and a half since I posted so... meh.
This has been a REALLY competitive and fun season... Everyone's so close... Heck, even Hundley in last place still has a shot at the final playoff spot!
Oh how times have changed... I'm now holding onto the #3 seed at 5-4-1 but that could change with a win (vault up to first) or a loss (out of playoff contention in #5 or #6 spot). It's that close fellas!
-
course i got a chance, i got michael fucking vick
hide yo puppies nigga
-
i've been doing terrible. i have a good team though. what gives?
-
this is my worst season ever... im doing so awful ugh. i have zero RB's ranked in the top 20...
-
This season has been ridiculously close! This week has the potential to completely upend the standings. Hopefully I can use this week to keep climbing the ranks.
The enlightened posse appears to be on the cusp of a phenomenal comeback, a win against philly styles would definitely assert that climb.
-
Bah! Horrible week, and at the most crucial of times. Pretty sure that I've just given up my playoff spot. To top it off, I just lost a playoff game by four points in my other league. Sad times..
Congrats to those who've made it to the playoffs though!
-
Wow what a close season! Playoffs start this weekend...This is how CLOSE the standings were! Heck, last place had an incredible record of 6-8 and was only 2 games out of the 4th and final playoff spot!
(http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/user12342/final_standings.jpg)
What an incredible and competitive season. Congrats to everyone...

Won my Semi-Finals matchup and I'm now in the Finals! Going for my first Championship in the GW Football League!
