TPWW Fantasy Hockey 2010 -2011 Signup
 

Figured Hero has been doing this for awhile and I could take the reins from him so to speak. Being commish would be nothing besides setting the league up.

The last few years we have had some people abandon the teams leading to some rather underwhelming weeks in Head to Head.

So I would very much appreciate that if anyone signs up, they do so with the intention of playing all season.

People who were active in it last year, I am going to give priority to first.

So Far people are:

Fallen Angel
YOUR Hero
Moonax
El Vaq
Mayo
Droford
Wadding
LoDownM

We still need 6 more people, so feel free to sign up.

Sign me up. Gonna armchair gm the hell out of you guys this year.

If you really need someone who will keep up with a team, I'll play. But I know exactly fuck all aboot the hookey eh.

Awesome guys, Your more then welcome Dave. I would rather have someone who has not clue then noone at all :p

yeah, Im gonna do better than last year..unless I dont

Has Hero said he doesn't want to be commish this year? With all due respect - I'd rather stick with Hero as Commish.

If you want to set up a parallel/alternative league then cool.

I'll be setting up the TPWW league, yeah. By all maens F/A, set up another...

Ah, ok. Its fine with me, I was just recruiting people for your league Hero. I really want 12 active people this year.

So I wont be setting up an alternate league, I would rather just stick to this one then have two. As I dont see us having enough to fill one let alone two. Though we seem to have 8 people interested at the moment. So it seems that we only need 4 more.

I'll play.

Im in for sure!

Once the season is open, I'll send people emails. - Including Kapoutman and SaskChamp.

I'll play if theres room

Why wasn't I included on your list?

As long as the fuckers who didn't update their teams are excluded I don't mind who plays.

FA - why don't you set up a roto league - use it as a test bed for different settings and scoring systems? For example in the baseball we used the auction draft in the roto league and found that it worked really well and made the draft very interesting and much more involved for everyone.

I am obvs in.

Apologies Adder, I forgot you were one of the active peeps.

Ill give roto a try Moonax, never played it myself though.

And like Moonax said people, just be active for fuck sake and don't abandon the team.

Sad part is I actually do not have any real fantasy teams this year, but due to Moonax hating me, I doubt I can be a part of this

Well given the track record of activity bud, its doubtful. Ultimately its up to Hero though.

If hockey has the bid process, I'm def. going to use that system over the tradsitional. I love the auction.

Yeah, try to make it a sunday night though man. I really dont want to miss it.

If I have to I will book the day off work once we have a solid for sure day to do it.

Yo hero let me join man

am i in?

If there's any room, count me in.

Will you be active?

IMO, I think a one month ban should be placed on posters who dont update thier rosters without prior reason given (such as vacation, etc)

That would be a pretty good incentive not to fuck up.

I know my shit but I cant recall if I was active last year. If I wasn't, I had a valid reason though.

I dont think you were active, but I could be wrong. If I am not, kick yourself in the balls for me.

When somebody can confirm that I was inactive, I shall surely give myself a proper kick in the nads. Twice.

I know Newsteed, Splaya and someone else didnt update their rosters for a couple months at a time.

like Fallen Angels diabetes

( P.S . i got left out of the baseball league, i'm due )

I guess RP is not getting in, I dont have Brimley Disease.

Definitely, I'm more of a hockey fan than any other sport.

Wasn't Supreme in the league (but inactive)?

Hero - it might be worth drawing up some kind of plan to take over inactive teams - ie if they go a month without updating.

And bannings, huge fan of severe bannings.

Thing is moonax, as far as I remember you can't change the owner midaeason.

HOWEVER we could get Hero to update rosters that are abandoned just to make it somewhat competitve should some fucker abandon his team.

It's a tough call. If someone is inactive and you go up against them for an easy win, then I as commish take over the team and make changes, it is not 'fair' to the next person that plays them.
However I do bel;ieve this year, that is what I will do, I will edit the rosters of inactive managers.

Hero - the problem is that inactive team does not always equal an easy win - a lot depends on the schedule, especially with things like +/- and goal tending stats (GAA, Save %) - where a good couple of performances from that team can mean you get skanked.

Alternatively, with teams not updating, if they don't hit the min games stat for goaltending (because of the schedule, or because they've benched all their goalies) then the team playing them gets effectively free points.

My point is that playing an inactive team is not the same for everyone because of the way schedules operate.

I would much prefer to see teams taken over after say a month of inactivity, to the point on putting players on the DL and rotating the team so that there is always a full line up being put out, than play inactive teams.

At very least, make sure the team gets goalie starts.

I mean all you have to do is win ONE skater category if the inactive team doesnt get 3 starts and you minimum have a 5-0-0 record.

Either way, how does it work? Autopick? Draft?

If draft, (hopefully it is) when would it be?

I will take a permaban

Come on guys I know I am begging here and it seems awful, but I'm not doing any other fantasy hockey league this year. I would be truly appreciative if I can get one more shot. I know Moonax and I are not on the best of terms either....but I will apologize if I have to
