Title: Redemption Fantasy Football Leagues
Post by: STAMP on August 02, 2013, 11:17:35 AM
Both leagues have drafted and are ready for some football starting next Thursday night!

So now what?  Here's some pointers for newer owners and veterans alike:

League #1 link to league settings: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leaguesetup/settings?leagueId=422457 (http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leaguesetup/settings?leagueId=422457)

League #2 link to league settings: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leaguesetup/settings?leagueId=415647 (http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leaguesetup/settings?leagueId=415647)

Tips/reminders/FAQ type stuff:
1. Remember to use the IR position for your injured player to free up a spot for an active player.
2. Each position is locked individually at that player's game time.
3. Make use of the Trading Block link on your team page to list the players you'd consider trading.  This helps the rest of the league when they propose trades.
4. After setting your team roster each week check the league page for info, polls, and topic threads.
5. Log in during games to see if others are chatting.  Each weekly match has a separate chat window.
6. Any time you have questions, feel free to send a PM, email, or post a topic thread on the league home page.
7. Have fun!

What day is the draft? That will determine if I am in or not. Last year I missed the draft due to work and got no players I wanted. It made for a miserable season.

We will vote on the best draft date and time for each league once owners have joined.

You may have sent it to Sean...or I may have it from some point in the past...but it would be easiest if you could PM it to me again.

Thanks. :)

Now that Nats is over I know there is interest out there.  We have one league basically full.  Now we're looking to fill the second league.  C'mon!  Someone wants to take down last year's champ who's no slouch in the Redemption world, too,...one Mr. Ron Sias.  ;)

I realize we can't please everyone with draft day/time, but just letting you know I won't be able to make that day.  I work at ESPN and Thursday night is opening night for college football... definitely have to be there :p

I could be interested, what site/program are you using for the league, and are there any interesting scoring rules, (ppr league?)

We are using ESPN.  We're not doing PPR, but we are using some bonus scoring categories such as 100-yd games, long field goals, etc.

I work second shift (6:00pm - 1:00) so its kinda rough in general.  I probably shouldn't have even said anything cause I just got scheduled everyday from Tuesday to Sunday next week.  Hahahaha.  Don't worry about me.  We installed a much better autodraft feature this year that works a lot better than those we had in the past.

No problem, Matt.  I made the draft on Wednesday, just in case, both days are clear for everyone else.

I've update the top of the thread.

It would probably be Thursday, August 29, at 8:30 PM EDT, especially since most have said they're available in the evenings during next week.

So what do i do now that the draft is over? Can I add more players to fill my missing positions? OR is that not allowed?

you can put a claim in for anyone you want on the waiver wire.  go to the 'Players' tab on the league page, that's where you'll find all players not currently on a team in the league.  Alternatively, you can propose a trade with another owner in your league, using your excess at one position to fill a hole at another position.
