BF.Net Fantasy Baseball League Â? Details and Discussion

[Iron Chef Napalm]

Let me start out by saying that with the numbers involved, this has turned out to be a significantly more complex project than I envisioned when I volunteered and I've had to completely rework my original plans for this league. I am not complaining, I am just stating that due to the details involved in scheduling, I know I am not going to make everyone happy and that there is potential for errors. However, I am going to do my best to make this one of the most inclusive and enjoyable fantasy baseball experiences possible. I hope we can all do our best to approach this fantasy season as mature, reasonable fans while limiting criticism to the constructive variety and remembering it is only a game.

 

All dates and rules are subject to change.

Yahoo's Rules

 

LEAGUE DETAILS

 

Basic Facts:

 

1. We will be using Yahoo's free fantasy league system.

2. You must use your Brewerfan.net screen name as your team name.

3. We will use a Rotisserie scoring method.

4. This is NOT a keeper league.

5. Only one team per forum member.

6. The season will be broken into two parts:

a.The first season will run from April 2nd until May 31st (~55 games)

b.The championship season will run from June 19th to October 1st (These dates are required by Yahoo)

7. Since I am going to be playing in all four first season leagues and the championship league by default, I have decided to make myself ineligible for prizes.

2. No keepers will be carried over from the First Season.

3. The draft for the championship season will take place on Sunday, June 4th at 7 PM CST. ( I would have liked to pick a day slightly closer to the start of the season, but I will be traveling and my access to the internet may be unreliable)

 

 

Instead of going into painstaking detail about league settings and scoring, I've posted pictures that should explain the organization and setup for the First Season. Details of the Championship Season will be posted closer to the start of that season, but should be very similar.

You must use your Brewerfan.net screen name as your team name!

Edit: Forget it, I should have read all the rules. Looks good.

[sbrylski]

It sounds excellent, but I am having trouble joing one of the leagues. I keep getting this:

 

There was a problem:

? This league is not registered in this game. (Error #272)

? This league is from the free game. (Error #271)

 

I've checked and double checked so I know I typed the league ID and password correctly...any suggestions?

[Ralph Wiggum]

sbrylski06, you are trying to join a pay league. Below the big signs for joining a pay league, there should be an option for joining a custom free league. Click on that, and it should work.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

This may sound simple, but it is easier to start with the simple things first.

 

Are you using the league name instead of the league ID#?

 

The password is all lower case and is probably case sensitive...

 

Try cutting and pasting the league id and password from the rules post.

[sbrylski]

Thanks guys...

 

Chief was right, I was trying to join the PLUS Leagues. You would think I would know by now, its my third, but final, Yahoo! League.

[Marleyboo]

Can anyone here join?

Thanks

[BMuch]

I was able to join league 2 last night.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

Any forum member may participate.

[bthurley19]

just joined up with the first base league and already 10 people are registered for that league. What are the prizes for winning? I know the Nick N Jersey was mentioned in the beginning and someone offered two tickets. Would be nice to know what we are playing for besides pride and bragging rights which will be the biggest prize.

Iron Chef, check your inbox.

PRIZES

 

Jaime is still working on acquiring all the prizes for the fantasy league and we don?t know what the final arrangement will be.

 

As of right now, the decision is to give prizes (actual items are yet to be determined) to the four first place winners of each First Season fantasy league and then award the NN jersey to winner of the Championship League.

[Jacob008]

iron chef, thanks for setting it up.

good luck.

[brewerjamie15]

** Just a reminder folks, this league is for Brewerfan.net members only. There is no minimun # of posts required, but you must be a site member.***

 

Also, I'd like to give a -huge- thanks to Iron Chef Napalm for all his efforts for this league.

 

I'm still working on prizes, so hang tight for that announcement. The Noogy jersey is the Grand Prize, but as ICN stated, each division winner gets a cool prize.

[Vibroking77]

Here i am. Count me in.

[Platteville brewer fan]

Iron Chef Napalm, I am infact a member of Brewerfan.net, however I usually don't post much. I have signed up for the 3rd base league.

 

Sorry for any confusion.

 

Thanks for letting me sign up, it should be very fun.

[RayKingsForemanGrill]

Me too...I'm a certified lurker but I am here 2-3 times a day and am a fantasy baseball fanatic...

 

Thanks for having me...

[Brewers77]

I joined league# 133226 and cant wait.

[sbrylski]

Iron Chef -

 

Sorry if this was answered already, but would you count as one of the four teams that advance from season one? Or would it be the top 4 besides you, setting the championship league at 17 people (4, 4, 4, 4, and you)?

 

EDIT: Yeah, I meant 17.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

If by some miracle I finish in the top 4, the number 5 ranked team will move on.

 

The Championship Season will have 17 players including me.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

Only a few spots remain in the Brewerfan.net Fantasy League!

 

 

 

One of the major rule requirements for this league is that you are a member of Brewerfan.net. The method I use to determine this is to require that your team name is the same as your forum username. I then use the search tool to find instances of you posting on the boards.

 

I have not been able to prove the Brewerfan.net existence of the following teams. I have contacted you via email or with the fantasy league message system and received no response. If I don?t verify that you are a member by Sunday, February 23rd , I will have to remove you from the league.

It is possible that the limitations of the site?s search tool have caused me to err and that you are a member in good standing. If this is the case, please post in this thread to prove your affiliation with Brewerfan.net. Alternately, it only takes one post to join the league. You can register with Brewerfan.net using your team and post in this thread.
