I just renewed the old yahoo league for another year. I was able to send out emails to all previous league members but if that does work here is the info.

If you didn't play last year you are welcome to sign up to give it a try. Right now I have the live draft for Sunday August 17th at 2PM. I am willing to change it but it needs to be before that date. As things will be tough to guarantee a time for me for a couple of weeks after the 17th. Any questions or suggestions are welcome too.

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Hate to ask, but is that 2pm East, Central, or Pacific? I'm interested which is why I ask.

[Yog]

Right now I have the live draft for Sunday August 17th at 2PM.

I have another live draft that day at 2:30 PM ET.. :x

[Liam Jinn]

I'm back in and I don't have any problems with the draft. Chances are I'll forget about it and miss it anyways. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

The day or time can be changed, right now its 2PM Eastern. If we need to change it I say do it soon. Is the weekend before better?

The same weekend, or even the same day works fine, it's just not possible to draft in 2 leagues with half an hour interval. If you changed it to 3 hours later for example, it would be no problem.

[Jedi Master Carr]

We could do it at 530 EST if that isn't a problem with everyone.

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Work for me.

[jjwr]

I'm in as well. I'm on vacation that week so regardless when its done on the 17th I'll probably miss it and have to auto-draft.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well we could change it to the week before, but I will leave that to everybody else to decide.

also we have got 9 players who else hasn't joined yet? We really need an even number or we will have to adjust the rules.

[Liam Jinn]

I don't think Pode has joined yet.

[Jedi Master Carr]

ah that is who we are missing. I knew everybody else from last year was there. He will make 10 so we should be good. I am sure he will join once he sees it.

[jjwr]

Honestly the weekends in August are really bad for me all the way around so please don't schedule around me. If someone would want to draft for me so the rest wouldn't have to wait for the auto-draft I would have no problem with that.

[Ryan Pode]

I'm in. And why have the draft so early? Why not...closer to the start of the season?

[Jedi Master Carr]

last year we did it that weekend. Also the following weekend would just be awful for me.

[Ryan Pode]

How about August 31? or even September 1 (labor day, everyone should have off). I just hate early drafts because people get hurt or turn out to not be that breakout player, and simply remain on the bench.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I could do that weekend. How is that weekend for everybody else?

[Liam Jinn]

Doesn't matter at all to me

[Yog]

Labor weekend sounds good. I prefer late drafts as well, for the reasons Pode stated.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Ok cool I will change it.
Edit
It is changed, I had to put it at 5PM on Saturday the 30. I couldn't schedule it on Sunday unless we want to have it at 9 or 10 AM. I figure Saturday should be cool for everyone.

[jjwr]

That should be fine for me.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Cool this could work out better then.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Our draft is tomorrow afternoon 5 EST.

[Yog]

I will so be there.. :evil

[Nathanial K'cansce]

I will definately try to be here for the draft.

[Jedi Master Carr]

they changed some things for the draft. Autopick is a lot quicker and there are some cooler graphics than last year.

[Yog]

Yeah, I like the new draft visuals for yahoo.

It is now 2 hours and 40 minutes until the draft starts, just a reminder.

Edit: 1 hour!

[Liam Jinn]

Looks like I'm actually here for the draft, well if I don't walk off that is. Neat.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Same here I will be in the room when it opens.

[Liam Jinn]

All I need to do is be in Draft Central, right?

[Jedi Master Carr]

it will show up on the league's front page.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Draft room up
go here and you will see it

[Jedi Master Carr]

1 minute to go

[jjwr]

Ugh, completely forgot about this but I was off at a concert anyways.

Hmm...team isn't horrible and I got LT which is always nice.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Its me vs Yog for our league Championship. I need to prevent Yog from repeating :p

[jjwr]

Blah, 5 points from my 3 WR's and I lose by 5 points. Oh well :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Blah, 5 points from my 3 WR's and I lose by 5 points. Oh well :)

Yeah that saved me. If I had known I only get 83 points I would have said you beat me. Petersen really had a bad game for me. He better play better on Sunday or I am screwed. I am switching to Rivers over manning because I don't see them playing Manning much at all. Rivers could have a monster game.

[Liam Jinn]

Beat Yog this year. Do it. That guy took my first place trophy last year, don't let him do it to you too!

[Jedi Master Carr]

Beat Yog this year. Do it. That guy took my first place trophy last year, don't let him do it to you too!

I have a team that is capable. Rivers, Chris Johnson, Adrian Petersen, the Steelers defense, and Birnoas give me a lot of points right there. My WR are wild cards especially Santana Moss.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Who ever wins this year needs to thank me for upsetting Dizzy in the first round. Him and I are building quite the rivalry in this league, and I am loving every minute of it. :D

heh thanks I would have faced Dizzy today so I have no clue how I would have done against him. Anybody have stat tracker? I wish I did today because I am going to have to figure it out other ways.

[Yog]

I have. Don't worry. I will keep you informed... ;)

heh of course you will.

[Yog]

So far, both our teams are doing terrible, except for defenses and Adrian Peterson / DeAngelo Williams. 28-29.

Yeah I can tell, I am not sure if Chris Johnson is playing. Peterson could give me another 10 points since he is the Vikings only offense today. It might come down to that SD game. I am hoping Rivers has a huge game.

[Jedi Master Carr]

What is the score now? I know I got good games from Peterson, Steelers, and Bowe. I think it will come down to the 8:30 game.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am in good shape, I think I will catch up with the afternoon games and maybe take the lead. You have two guys, I have Rivers. I love it coming down to that final game.

[Yog]

Yeah, it is pretty exciting. It's close.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Moss is helping me right now to get a little closer. I was hoping that TE for Seattle would play better. Although, there is still time.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

I'm having a monster week this week. Why couldn't I do that last week!?

[Jedi Master Carr]

All i know is it close as hell. I think we might even be tied. What happens when we are tied? I think we both have 81 points if my math is correct.

[Yog]

Ugh, you won with 1 point. >_<

LOL sorry wow that was close, I actually thought we were tied to tell you the truth. Not sure what would have happened there. I was worried because the Chargers got so far ahead Rivers didn't do much in the second half.
