32 team league needing owners!

Quote Quote Modify Modify

Looking for players to join a Free 32 team fantasy football league. Currently we have 15+ teams.
 
If your interested just leave your email here or if you don't want to post your email you can contact me at mklund@gmail.com for an invite, just include 2 or 3 divisions you would like in order of preference (in case its full) (NFC/AFC East, West, North, South). Can also say what team name you would like or wait til you login and change the team name/logo to your preference.
 
Only looking for people who are serious about it and can stay active throughout the season please!
 
Draft is TBA but will be LIVE online draft most likely 1 week after the league is full (mass emails to all owners to give them time to prepare and make time for the draft). Draft order will be RANDOMLY generated once the league is full.
 
The league is setup like the NFL, 32 teams in 8 divisions (AFC/NFC East,West, North,South) and team names of whatever you want them to be.
 
Top 12 teams from their divisions at the end of the season will advance to a 12 team playoff, teams with better records have a Bye week 1.
 
This league will use individual defensive players. Rosters will look like this:
 
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
 
1 DT
1 DE
1 LB
1 CB
1 FS/SS
 
1 K
 
1 Team: Defense
1 Team: Special Teams
 
15 Players on the Bench
1 Player on Injured Reserve
 
--------
League has many features, some of them are:
Mock Drafts
Custom scoring settings
League message boards
Standings, Breakdowns and Power Rankings
League Records

Klund, to "the Gridiron"!  I hope you will bring what appears to be your fine energy for the hobby over here from time to time.  In any event, good luck with your progressive league set-up here...  If you get a Gridironer to join in, consider it good fortune... I can vouch for the guys here; they're a good bunch.
 
Oh, and THANK YOU for reading through our board descriptions with care and making it to this board where your post here is supposed to be.

Hi, and thanks, have had 2 people from this board join so far with a possible 3rd so looks like a good bunch!
 
Have several more openings if anyone else is interested, and just to be clear (had 2 emails asking about it) it is completely paid for so totally FREE for anyone wanting to join.
 
Also the name of the league is "Great Gridiron Battles"

Thanks. Invites been sent, the NFC North is full right now so I put you in the AFC East. However if you want to join the NFC North still, there are 2 teams there who have not yet activated their teams. If they don't activate them in the next few days I can move you into one of their spots if you like.

Hey, Klund, fellas,... one thing I probably should chime in here on,... if yous would like a (public) message-board HOME (where you league can garner a little attention and start a "fan base" ), I don't think there would be a better place than on "the Gridiron".  I'd be happy to provide you all with a board in our "Affiliate Leagues" section, http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi#51.  Whatchya think?  Just throwin' it out there!

The league is most likely full now, just waiting for 2 teams to activate their teams.
 
Several of the owners came from The Gridiron, if they would like to start an affiliates forum its fine with me  
 
Seems like a great forum, quite a bit friendlier than the one I usually post on.

Anyway, do yous think you'll actually put a board I makes for yous here to good use, or will it just be a ghost town?
 
If you think yous will put it to good use, what's the name of the league, so I can name the board accordingly?

Afraid it would most likely end up a ghost town, though once it gets closer to our draft date I'll definately be posting here instead of my old forum.

Well, the NAFFLIU's down there is pretty much a ghost town, but (I've dealt with the guy for years and) they come by once or twice a year religiously to at least post about their playoffs and championship and they are a league that's been in existence for YEARS.  Is the intention of this league really to be in existence for years to come?  I mean... it's A LOT of work maintaining leagues (like the GBRFL, e.g.) for years.  I ask because a ghost-town message board that still has utility in terms of years as it does for the NAFFLIU is worth having.  But, if this league doesn't necessarily have a long-term vision,... well,... then... you can see where I am coming from.  A short-term ghost town isn't worth it. ...

It will be a one year only thing most likely, I have owned a keeper league for co-workers for the past few years and recieved this extra league for this year only as a bonus for owning the keeper for so long.
 
So I decided to make it a free league and do something different with it, that is 32 teams with 30 man rosters, but really have no intention of keeping it past this year unless the majority of owners at the end of the year are willing to chip in enough each year to pay for the league and prize money.

Well, the draft for this 32 team league was held yesterday with problems galore.  It is hosted through EA sports and this was my first experience with their setup.  First of all the draft wouldn't start so tech. support had to reset it for an hour later then originally planned.  We had 30 seconds per pick but if you didn't get it in within 20 seconds you were locked out of making the pick so there were a LOT of people missing picks due to the time limit.  
 
I did however get basically the team that I wanted with the 25th pick of the draft.  oh well....we'll have to see how it all plays out and i'm gonna be on the wire t-t-t-TODAY, JR.!!  
 
If anyone were interested i could put up a post of the teams if you wanted to see how it went.  The first round was insane.......#1 overall pick was rudi johnson for starters!!!

Yeah I would imagine it is hard to find 32 owners with "knowledge" and "experience".

Not a big deal, no money involved, I hadn't accessed the site for awhile, basically just waiting for the mass email to be sent out stating when the draft would be, like I said "oh well"......  Misunderstanding I guess

Ok, new issue here:
 
Apparently teams were able to draft more then 1 team defense and more then one special teams unit during the draft.  Since this is a 32 team league there are some team (mine for 1) that are without one of these positions and some without BOTH.
 
I am trying to make a case that the teams that picked 2 or more of these should feel obligated to make a trade or drop the extra TD or ST units into FA for continuity of the league.
 
Unlike all other positions it is not possible to pickup a backup TD or ST unit.  Once the 32 are gone....they are gone!!  I will agree that maybe my preparation wasn't the greatest leaving me short a ST unit.  I also think, though, that if the league is to be legitimate then everyone should be able to field this position even if they wanted to wait until the last round of the draft to pick up there team defense.
 
oh well, looks as if i'm losing my battle to get teams to give up there ST or TD accordingly (through trade or FA pool).  anyone else have an opinion on this??  Am i completely wrong for saying that this league will be tainted if owners keep more then one TD or ST unit making it impossible for others to pick one up.  It might even make rosters invalid completely and not allow ANY points to be accumulated for weeks without all positions filled in.  UGH!!!

Nateman,... guys, I was going to keep this to myself, but the comment will be encrypted enough and given this latest news...  You guys who know me gotta know what I've been thinking... as of yesterday's post,... "YANWTTOTTPBSFFL!"  (Anybody want to take a stab at decrypting that???)  I mean... WE ALL KNOW that in fantasy football, LIKE (ANYTHING) IN LIFE, it's QUALITY that's key, NOT quantity, and yet at so many steps so many of us defy it... again and again,... directly contradicting what we KNOW to be the case.
 
... (Step down...)
 
Good luck hammerin' this out, man!

ya, well, it looked as if it would be pretty fun.  I'm sure that it could be with the right settings too!!  I tried to look them over we got a few things ironed out before the draft, however, i didn't notice this glitch and it could ruin the league because either way it goes people are gonna be upset!!  
 
Maybe we should just reset the draft        
 
It was screwed up all around for everyone though....i could care less about my picks and missing out on picks or anything like that.  I just want to be able to have a chance at fielding a whole team.  owners now are declaring they will refuse to trade their extra TD or ST unit because the bye fill in they get with them is better then the #3 WR or RB they can get in a trade!!!

I DIGRESS...
    Yea, that's the key, though, making the distinction between "looks to be the case" and "IS"...  I figured that out long ago... (and I'm not just talking fantasy football).  Why do you think I'm back in grad school working toward my Ph.D. in Philosophy, the art of the mastery of thinking, that which is what really distinguishes us as humans?  It ain't because of the high-paying salaries I look forward to... or the student loans I am PILING up.  As I say to colleagues of mine (including personally to Double D a.k.a. Steve Warner),... I believe in what I am doing regarding my academic pursuits,... not as they directly affect me professionally, but as they do so personally (and then how I present myself, the person, to the "professional" world).  I always say that I take no day of my graduate studies in Philosophy for granted...  If for some reason the circumstances of my life were to change, like FantasyFootballer.com blowing up SO HUGE that the proverbial "ribbon on the offices would need to be cut", and I needed to step away from school (at least for a bit),... I would take ALL that I got up to that point into whatever else it was that was calling me.  So, in that sense, I get the most out of each and every day of my studies, letting the benchmarks and degrees take care of themselves, and soaking it all in, a big part of that "all" being the acquisition of the ability to make the distinction between "what looks to be the case" (mere opinion) and "what IS" (ontology).
