Canada?
There's still 5 spots left in the Yahoo Pro league ($100) I'm in
Picked that date and time, but did not get put into your league, bah.
I cant see where the poll is, I'm blind I guess.

Did anyone else here join the Yahoo Pro League? We suddenly have 7
There needs to more separation between some of the ranks, $310 for 2nd seems a tad much. I mean the winner needs to have much more than $100 separation a.k.a they won the league and should be compensated much more than the 2nd place guy. I posted it in the Yahoo thread...Since it's top 4, how about this split?
Nice and simple
Did we even decide if there will be prizes outside of the playoff stuff? Like Highest Scoring/Most Medals won/Most weeks with the largest blowout? I had made a chart trying to factor that in also...For 16 people x $65 = $1,040:
1st gets 45% = $468
2nd gets 28.75% = $299
3rd gets 18.75% = $195
4th gets 7.5% = $78
Top 4 w/ increases across the board and the League winner gets a larger piece of the pie. 1st and 2nd should get significantly more than 3rd and 4th.
Basically if a 5th monetary award is made it cannot be among playoff teams. Might as well use "Highest Scoring Non-Playoff Team" then, sort of like a Silver Slugger award in Baseball.
Even then does that deserve to cover the entry fee? No, not really. Maybe half of the entry fee I guess.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- The Big Blue Crew started their 4th year of play in the NeoGAF Fantasy Football League trying to rebound from a disappointing year, missing the playoffs and finishing 5-8 (worst in team history).
With new ownership and a new focus, they're be sporting a new name also.
At MetLife stadium today the new group presiding over the team announced the new team name for The Big Blue Crew, which will now be called "I'm Doin' It Like Eli". The name change is an homage to Giants current QB Eli Manning, who proved to critics his elite status with 15 4th quarter TDs, countless comebacks, and leading the Giants to a 2nd Superbowl while winning the MVP.
"Eli Manning is a elite QB," Giants PR chief Pat Hanlon exclaimed. "He's one of the most competitive guys you'll ever see out there, and that's the nature we want to bring to this Fantasy Football season. Go out there, take no prisoners, and win games in clutch fashion".
The group also announced that while it will retain Coach/GM The Frankman to run the team, they will advise him on day-to-day operations such as pickups, and stress to better focus on drafting and less on trades. In past years The Frankman has been known as being a maverick and going against conventional wisdom in past years, often taking a QB in the 1st round and kickers/Defense as early as the 9th. Last year he drafted Michael Vick in the 1st round, a move he said he never actually wanted to do...
"We're not trying to take away his abilities," John Mara said. "We know he has a sound football mind and a keen eye for talent. We just want him to focus more on certain areas of running a team more and to explore his options fully. We know he likes to make alot of deals; we would like to prep his team a bit better so he feels he doesn't need to."
The advice of new ownership was apparent, as Coach/GM was not on hand at the press conference due to participating in his 10th Mock NFL Draft. It's been heard in some circles The Frankman is looking to do 50 Mocks before the No Quitters 4 Fantasy Football Draft begins September 2nd, a marked changed considering he would run maybe 3-4 mock drafts to prepare in previous years.
So 65, right?

You're "diluting" the sense of winning the big prize though. If 2nd place was so attractive they'd call it 1a place. They're only 1 winner, and the 2nd place shouldn't be paid near 1st place. You think the Superbowl losers get paid as much as the winner? Fuck Socalism, this is a democracy.I totally disagree. If there are only going to be 4 prizes, I'd rather spread the money around somewhat proportionally to all four. Socialism!!! lol
I like anywhere from 1-12, and I trust my plan this year. Unlike previous years I've been mocking heavy and I have an idea of what players I want + 2.5 different draft plans.Hey guys, any thoughts on where you hope to draft slot-wise?
At the moment, I'm leaning towards drafting at either the head or the tail of the snake.
Would LOVE Picks 1-6 or 14-16. It's the middle of that draft order (7-13) that's going to keep me up at night.

14 is as high as I can find barring one that you need e-mail confirmation to join. Linked it earlier.Have you just been doing 14 team mocks? Can't find any 16 team ones.
?BaltimoreLarry is out. Sinistar (played in s3) will replace him
Just pick a different team for that approach this season instead of the terrible Chargers.Ugh. Matthews injury ruins my Chargers combo draft strategy. QB/RB/K from same team is what I like to do
I've done 4 mocks today, I'm doing 1-2 mocks a day from here on out to get the Mock Draft Machine Yahoo! League Of Champions Medal, which you get for participating in 50 Yahoo Mock Drafts.The draft is coming quickly, I need to get my crap together and start looking who to draft
When is payment due for the GAF regular league?
PS: Sinistar hasn't responded so we have an open spot for now
