Downlow Fantasy Football League official info

[pirate4state]

Last year we had 14 teams and at least 2 (maybe 4) didn't keep their teams updated.

Those 2 managers have not been invited back. We will have at least 2 open spots, maybe more if others decided not to play this year.

E-mails have been sent to those that played in last year's league. YOU WILL HAVE UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING TO SIGN YOUR TEAM UP OR YOUR SPOT WILL BE UP FOR OTHERS TO GRAB.

Draft is tentatively set for Wednesday, August 11 @ 5:15 p.m.

Obviously, the draft date/time won't work for everyone, but I will do my best to ensure that it works for the majority of the group.

More info to come once all teams have been signed up.

[sahen]

draft is pretty early compared to previous years? or am i imagining that?

[pirate4state]

didn't really put any thought to it. just picked a date so I could move on & form the league.

i am open to suggestions and i will try to do what's best for the majority.

[sahen]

doesn't matter to me when it is as long as it isn't during the middle of a normal workday....i'd like to see it closer to the start of the season so we can plan accordingly for preseason injuries and other issues....so i guess that is my vote

[jason]

not on a weekend - and after 5pm - those are my only two requests...

[Sweetwater Red]

Not during a work day. Any other time is good.

[eagles_victory]

The EV nation has offically accepted an invite and will be represented for the third straight year in this league.

[pirate4state]

Season begins Thursday, Sept 9th so let's shoot for Wednesday, September 1 @ 6:00 p.m. as draft day.

[jason]

that works for me

[sahen]

sounds good to me as well

[jason]

we still need one more?

We need to fill the last spot that was not taken. If you are interested, send me a PM. First come, first serve.

[pirate4state]

Okay, guys 7pm on the 9/1 is NOT available.

We can do 6:45 pm on 9/1 OR 8:00 pm on Tuesday, 8/31

[jason]

It is not available by Yahoo. Nothing to do with any of us. I just tried to switch it and the 7 o'clock hour isn't even an option.

[sahen]

Sorry if you can't make it, but you had plenty of time to chime in before today.

I'll draft him if he's the best available. I've
just gotten used to having the
likes of CJ and AP on my rosters.

We don't have any new teams this year. We just dropped the 2 that didn't manage their teams last year.

[sahen]
