    Well, I'm a commish of another league. I haven't set up a live draft, but I set it up offline and I did it at work. I think once you have the live draft setup, it should work. Not sure what the hell happened.

    Do you think I can still join? You want to do the draft tomorrow night or Sunday afternoon/night?

    I can set it up as well, if you dont want to. I think a good time would be Sunday around 2-3PM.

    I think Sunday would be better because,

    1) It would allow more players to join

    2) It would give Yahoo some time to get their act together

    Also it would be nice if we could have a 12 person league. That would spread the talent out a bit. The most fun leagues I've played have all had 12 people in them.

    So if its on Sunday, we could decide well in advance if we have 12 people or not.

    What do you think?

    The original league may still be salvagable...

    it now says this in the scoreboard...

    "Week 1
    Int. Race Of Champs Bye
    Dmac to TO Bye
    M&M Mouth Melters Bye
    Bob Bowden's Bombers Bye
    DaRockets Bye
    50 uses G-G-G-GMAIL Bye
    Rocketball Bye
    Philly Cheeseheads Bye
    TMac Attack Bye
    Smegville Cats Bye "

    I have two emails per league in to them, it may be re-draftable.

    I cannot do the Sunday draft AT ALL. That is why I had set it up for different times like Tuesdays and Fridays...

    So if it's Sunday I'll have to be out.

    Plus the other leagues may be fixed before then.

    Well, you know my times. I'm cool M-F after 7:45p. I can also do it Sundays too. Saturdays, late night like 9...10pm, I think I can do it.

    I think you should start a new thread with this new league info. Some people might not want to wade through all the old messages to get the info. People might not bother to even look in this old thread becausee they might think we have already drafted.

    But isn't the league name a little harsh? Maybe "Last Chance YAHOO!" would be more appropriate..

    After all with the bending over backwords I did to try and include nwo34, several times... then trying to get Smeg in...

    A lot of this continued saga would have ended at episode one had the masses not jumped in, and out, and out, and in.

    But I'll give it one last chance...

    BTW- Did you set the categories for scoring the way I had set them? I included return yards and had a few other things like unlost fumbles, and I believe all the defense score possibles were checked...

    This drives the scores up, and makes for radical toughness... also had fractional points "Yes" and negative points "No."

    IROC,

    Just had to give you a hard time. :p

    We'll change it soon...

    BTW, I'll set the scoring up the way you had it.

    if we get 10, and more ppl want to join just post here, so that we can possibly make it a 12 team league before the draft.

    Iroc,

    Made the changes you requested (even league name). If you see something else, let me know.

    Otherwise if more want to join, we can set it to 12.

    I suggested in synergy's thread, but I thought I would throw it here also:

    Couple of suggestions and I just want to throw it out there (now that we have the draft set ).

    1) Can we reduce the bench spots from 8 to 6? In my other league where I'm commish, I noticed the draft just lasted longer and we just started grabbing players just for the hell of it. If we leave it at 6, we would have a better FA list to work w/ just in case someone loses a great fantasy player (plus it would make the draft a bit shorter).

    2) Also, can we reduce the interception scoring from -2 to -1?
    -2 would kill some quarterbacks who would have a great game that week.

    Just my 2 cents...
