  • 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.

Looking to start a non specific Fantasy Football league- update

yep, you can either leave the yahoo list as is or rearrange it to your liking...and waivers should open up 2 days after draft

So basically you make a list of who you would like in the order that you'd like and Yahoo drafts them if they're available? The option for trades and grabbing players from waivers is still open afterward I'd assume.

Where is that option in the team settings?
Yahoo has reccomended player rankings, you can edit them to put them in your own order. When you see they're player rankings page, there is a button to edit those rankings. Just drag the name of the player you want from the middle to the right column in the order you want.

So what day and time are we going with?
Same date but we'll move it to 9:30. If anyone needs Shuckins address pm him or me. Getting them to him before the draft is definitely going to be an issue for some, I'm sending mine out tomorrow. Please post CCs and be sure to label the box Fantasy Football so Ron knows to put them aside.

Does anyone here feel we need to go with the premium package? Most of the premium bells and whistles are now part of the standard package.

So let me verify this. The draft will be Sept 2nd at 9:30pm Eastern Time rite.

Also we will be able to pick our own players? We do not have to adjust the yahoo list to select the players if we just want to go off of our own list?

Looking forward to the draft. This is the funnest part of fantasy football IMO. Besides winning it all and talking smack of course:king:

Also what do you mean by CC numbers?

If you can not do the live on-line draft, you cna use yahoo to to pick your players for you. If you do that you have two options:

A) You can use the default Yahoo palyer rankings, it will take the highest rated player on the board.

B) You can adjust the defalut Yahoo player rankings to reflect the way you think you would like to draft the players, the it will take the highest ranking player on the board.

I would serously suggest everyone adjust your palyer rankings incase something comes up, and you can not make it to the live draft.

You're first on the list to fill an open spot. We should set a deadline for signing up in case we need to scramble for a player or two.
agreed, not fun getting to draft day and realizing someone wont be playing and having to scramble for another player...and with our draft being a little later than some, might be tough to get another date locked in, just my 2cents

Still curious when it's my turn to make a draft pick. Will I be picking my own player. Or will they be of the list(S).

If so? I need to adjust my list. But I would rather draft the player I want live during the draft.

As long as you are present in the draft room as we are drafting you will get to pick your own player, the computer will not select one for you. however, there is a time limit for each pick and once you run out of time the computer will then pick for you. you will still have access to the player rankings list as a guide but dont have to follow it. make sense?

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.
