  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I'm registered now ... my bad for taking so long. Is anyone opposed to moving the draft date closer to the start of the season ... say early to mid-August?

How much is it to upgrade to the premium league? I'd probably be down with that. I use the stat tracker for baseball every year.

I am fine with moving the draft to August.

As for the premium league, it's $124.99 or roughly $10.42 per team in our league. I used the stat tracker like crazy last year because I wanted to know what was going on at all times on Sunday. I hated waiting until the following day to see the results. I think this is only 50 cents more than the regular priced stat tracker and it comes with a few extra perks.

Like I said earlier, if everyone is interested, I will front the cost for the upgrade and everyone can repay me with cash or sticks, I will leave it up to you. If there isn't enough interest, then we continue with the regular buy-in and those who want the stat tracker will have to pay for it separately.

I will track who's interested in purchasing the stat tracker in the first post.

Who else is interested???

I also updated the draft date & time to the following:

Eastern: Saturday August 9 at 9:30pm
Central: Saturday August 9 at 8:30pm
Mountain: Saturday August 9 at 7:30pm
Pacific: Saturday August 9 at 6:30pm

We still have quite a few options available for the draft, so this date/time is not set in stone.

Should we draft towards the end of preseason? This will allow time to evaluate some players and possibly protect ourselves from drafting a star (remember Clinton Portis) who may get injured during the preseason.

On the flip side, that's some of the fun of fantasy football. Some of us may have a good feeling about a sleeper and want to pick him before his talents come out during the preseason.

Opinions?

I will do the upgrade if that is what everyone wants. I am also good with what ever draft date you all decide on.

Okay, it looks like the majority of the league prefers the upgrade so I went ahead with it. Since this was done after everyone committed to play, if you don't like the idea of paying for Fantasy Football and want out now, you can PM me and I can remove you.

I prefer you send cigars (as long as you don't send crap) to cover your share of the upgrade. $10 worth of cigars (or $10 cash) must be included with the standard 5 cigar buy-in. Tag 'em and bag 'em separately from the "Buy-in" sticks.

I will be sending everyone my address after the league is completely full which should happen some time early next week.

I haven't heard from Andrew so I removed him from the list and sent an Invite out to Angry Bill. Once the league is full, we will nail down our draft date.

Lee,

What kind of smokes are you into right now or are you wanting to try?

Heh, I didn't realize Yahoo! was already doing signups.

I was going to propose this if there wasn't already one.

Put me on the waitlist as well; I'm willing to run a secondary league if there's enough demand (I run 2 for 2 other forums I participate in).

Can I get on the waiting list? I did my first ever FF league just last year so I'll be counting on begginers luck if I make it in.

You two are added to the list, I will let you know if anything opens up.

I'm open to almost anything, except for Gurkha's. Don't get me wrong, I love Gurkha's, but I have TONS of them right now. I have been enjoying a variety of CAO's recently, but just bought a couple boxes of them as well.

I'm game for anything as long as it isn't junk.

You will get what I send you and like it....


Um, the sooner you get a draft date the better... only a certain amount of leagues can have their drafts at certain times, so slots are filling up...

I moved it to Thursday August 21 at 7:00 PM MDT. That puts it at 9:00 for the East coasters and 6:00 for the West Coasters.

Does that time work for everyone or do you want it even later in the month?
