Dang, 9 teams already.

purely my opinion - league should be big and stupid much like a message board. Worry about limits when it comes to $$$ leagues.
― |8 l) u_u (bnw), Friday, 11 June 2010 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
i am in. 8 is too few teams imo. reminds of the small rosters we had 2(?) years ago, where everyone had blue chip players on the bench. 10 is prob the sweet spot. 12 is better than 8.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link
I would move to a 2nd small league rather than be in a huge league. Small leagues = good test of bench management ability.
― Grisly Addams (WmC), Friday, 11 June 2010 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link
that's a good point
― iatee, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:34 (thirteen years ago) link
how is it a good test? your team will be more stocked with obvious choices.
― |8 l) u_u (bnw), Friday, 11 June 2010 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
right but the more top tier players you have, the more likely you'll have to make a difficult decision
― iatee, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:36 (thirteen years ago) link
(between two good players for one spot)
― iatee, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:37 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not a difficult decision if they're both good, because it hardly matters. it's a difficult decision if they are both average players and you have to look at the matchups carefully.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, because I'll inevitably pick Peyton Manning on a day that fucking Chad Henne throws for 400 yards and 5 scores. xp
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:42 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean it's between "wow I have an awesome team, but who do I choose to play?" and "lol oh man my team sucks, how do I scrap together a team from 2nd tier players?"
I guess those are sorta two different types of 'difficult' but the first type is (ime) more fun cause you get an awesome team
― iatee, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:42 (thirteen years ago) link
it doesn't hardly matter, cause your opponent has a relatively better team too. you have to look at the matchups just as much and make the best decision - you're more likely to be picking up points on gameday, but so's the other side

I really do want you dudes to play too, I like you guys. But 12 teams and 20 rounds will exhaust the draft pool to the point of the whole season being a wash for a lot of people.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 June 2010 01:37 (thirteen years ago) link
man i really think 12 is doable

in the nfl there are 32 starting qbs, 32 starting rbs & 64 starting WRs btw

just have one less bench spot
Okay, I'll put it up to the other 9 folks who've already joined: open it up to 12 teams and one less bench spot? Yea or nay?
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 June 2010 01:42 (thirteen years ago) link
yea
― iatee, Saturday, 12 June 2010 02:09 (thirteen years ago) link
As long as 12 is the absolute upper limit, okay.
― Grisly Addams (WmC), Saturday, 12 June 2010 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link
while i am cool with 12 teams it is a shame that the extra spots have to be wasted on cad and j sarge.
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 12 June 2010 02:40 (thirteen years ago) link
12... 10... however many you want. its ok by me! im just happy to be here, man.
― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 12 June 2010 04:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Bumped it to 12 teams, reduced it by one bench position.
This is for J0rdan and cad only. If anyone else tries to sneak in, I'll kick you.

guys, in the big league we discovered that Yahoo sets up the waivers so that the first person gets ALL their picks and then it moves on to the next player. You may be having a similar issue? Or not, I'm not clear what's happening with you.
― Muscus ex Craneo Humano (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, like jbn said, I was up early this morning too and I could already see which players had been claimed off waivers even though I didn't know who they'd gone to. All I knew is that I couldn't claim them myself, but could claim any player that had gone directly into free agency.
As for the method Yahoo uses for ordering waivers processing, I don't know. I had though it went through first choices down the list, then second choices down the list, and so on. But if it gives the first person ALL their picks before moving on, that's kind of crappy.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I get what you guys are saying and it makes sense. But I'm saying...why the hell does Yahoo do that? If it's already reflecting which players are not available to claim b/c waiver claims have been placed on them at that hour in the morning, then why doesn't it just show them in the list of transactions and have them placed on those managers' teams at that point. it's just dumb is all i'm saying. do not like.
