***OFFICIAL*** ATOT Yahoo Survival, Pro and College Pick'em leagues

[pyonir]

So, who drafted Bridgewater?

No one did in our 3 player bench league...but as a MN fan...see emotes above. Guess I don't have to waste time watching them this year.

 

[pyonir]

I got a C!

I got an A!

They overvalue running backs...and my first 3 picks were running backs. The automated grade system is a joke.

 

[Crono]

I got a D. Admittedly, my team doesn't look good on paper because of my RB corps. I was planning to take a different RB1 if I had a higher pick or if one fell to me, but ended up with Rawls.

Not that I don't like Rawls, but he doesn't shy away from contact. High injury risk... reminds me a lot of Ahmad Bradshaw the way he runs.

Bridgewater dislocated his knee and completely tore his ACL. *sigh*

College pick'em games start on Sept 2nd...so get in now.

Blah, not going to be home in time for tonight's. Installed the yahoo app so see how that goes.....

Late notice, but any chance of changing the waiver rules to Weekly rolling based on standings? All it does is change it so once you pick up a player, you move to the last waiver. Right now you can replace your whole team before it moves on to the next lowest waiver team. I would like to see it changed so if you pick up a single player, it then moves to the next lowest waiver team. This at least gives the top teams a smidgen of chance of getting a player they want before they are snatched up.

Also, my 3-player bench team was auto drafted using Yahoo's rankings. Never let that happen.

 

[lupi]

Yes, default waiver rules bad. I miss no waiver leagues.

 

[pyonir]

Sorry, I didn't check in until now. I'll see if I can make changes to the waiver rules after the draft. Not sure if I can or not.

Alrighty, I agreed and changed the waiver rules to the weekly rolling based on standings. I also shortened the time to 1 day for how long a player is on waivers.

 

[pyonir]

I did that change for all three leagues I commish and sent emails about it. so if you feel strongly against it, let me know.

 

[lupi]

You know you changed the draft time for tomorrow?


And this looks painful.

[pyonir]

Nope, I guess I set them both for 930 eastern originally, because that's what I posted in my message board post on the league homepage. I have no idea why I did that...and thought I picked 10 eastern for all of them. Unless Yahoo is changing it and changing the time in my message board post...LOL

 

[pyonir]

College games start tonight for the pick'em...so get it in now....

 

[JujuFish]

So, umm...I completely forgot about the draft (thought it was tonight, which turned out to be for a different fantasy league). Sorry about that. I'll try not to be a pushover with my autodrafted team.

 

[pyonir]

lol, it happens. Tonight I wanted to join an instant live draft...and wasn't sure it worked, so ended up joining two leagues at the same time. So I was drafting in two windows at once. One draft only had like 4 live people for some reason and the other is slow as hell...everyone is taking like 1:20 per pick. It sucks.

 

[lupi]

At least autodraft is better now than when it had you slot players for each pick position. If you ended up picking late enough in a round that most of your selections got taken already I swear it was worse than current autodraft.

 

[pyonir]

Only problem with auto draft is that it still gives you players that have already been cut, or are on the PUP list. That should be easy enough to figure out from an automated standpoint. Especially for a site as large as Yahoo. In one of the drafts tonight, a team on auto draft took Shayne Graham in the 2nd to last round (his ADP is 93 with 83% drafted). Dude isn't even on a team. Hell, Marshawn Lynch still has an average draft position of 103. Seriously.

 

[ElFenix]

lets see if i can keep up with survival for more than a few weeks

 

[lupi]

So they reset team selections in survivor for the playoffs or what?

 

[pyonir]

I guess they do. Makes sense, I guess, since if you'd have picked all the playoff teams during the season you'd be left with no teams to pick. Seems kind of weird, but it's the only way it'll work I guess. Congrats on lasting the full season by the way...funny that we both missed the same teams in the same weeks.

 

[lupi]

Unless you were picking over the last couple of weeks planning for it to not reset.

Which leaves us with this ugly mess now, best you can do is win one more week so I've got to be trying to win two weeks now otherwise it still ends up in a tie.
