FF13: Official GWJFFL 2013 signup and discussion thread

That gets us to 34. I'd like to get 2 more so that no one has to double-up but if not, Cobble² gives us 35.

I don't mind doubling up, but if possible I'd like to be with shiiiison, so I can kick his butt as hard in FF as I do in Dominion.

Well, that's a wrap. Sorta. Cobble, I'll take you up on your offer to field a team in D-II in addition to your Pro-league one. That leaves me one more slot I still have to fill. Jolly, you left the door open to changing your mind - have you done it yet?

Anyway, while I get D-I and D-II sorted out, the top league is ready to roll. Last year's D-I winner, Gizmo's Gremlins, have elected to stay in D-I and defend their title. Meanwhile, the runner-up, Pan-demonium, has accepted a promotion to Pro. Since we had no attrition in Pro this year that would naturally make room, last year's 12th-placed team, Sylvan Slayers, has been relegated down to D-I.

Of course, the spots in Pro aren't secured until your entry fee has been received. For the returning players, the Paypal address is the same as last year. If you need it again, PM me.

Last year, there were a couple problems with people figuring out what buttons to push to make sure that the full $25 made it to me so this year's fee is $26. Preferably, we end up with a nice, even $312 but if we don't... everything I receive will go into the prize pool.

More info to be posted later.

Bandit0013, as a Rookie, you'll already be in D-II (along with shiiiison) and so can't own a second team in D-II. Thanks for the offer, though!

Dem monies have been sent.

Paypal now does a much better job of showing you what buttons to press to get the money over.

The first option has the recipient pay the fee, the second has you pay the fee (unless the money comes from your paypal balance or a bank account, rather than a credit card).

I know you probably haven't gotten around to it yet, but what was the status on the promotions/relegations from DI to DII

Well with nearly half of D-I retiring, there's plenty of room for promotions and no need for relegations. Moving up is totally optional (one downside, for example, is that you have to leave one league and join another in fleaflicker so you lose your team history) so I've still got to send PMs to make sure people want to do that. I'll do the first batch right now.

Ok, the first five D2-to-D1 "invitations" have been sent as well as a follow-up to this post since I never heard if Iridium884 still wanted in to the Keeper league.

Once the dust settles and I know who is in which league, we'll start the draft day voting process.

Finally, to the folks in Pro...

And some people enjoy this for fun, not money, so even if they won D1 would not want to move up to pro.

GWJers!
Looks like I'm late to the party but would like to toss my name in on the waiting list if for no other reason than to hopefully get in next year.

New to the forum but longtime listener to the podcast, so that's how I ended up here.

Am avail for any league (keeper, dynasty, pay, free); am experienced and stays active regardless of results; just looking to get in on some fantasy football.

Thx!

26 bucks sent, Grump. Thanks for running the leagues again this year!

Top_shelf, you're in luck. I really don't want to have to run another team so the last spot in D2 is yours. PM me an email address.

PM sent.

Grumpicus: Cash next Wednesday.

You can also send it with Colburnicus.

I like how obtuse this appears to people outside of our immediate acquaintance group.

I'm guessing it's a type of beer he brews, eh?

Invites from fleaflicker.com have gone out to everyone for whom I had an email address (which is everyone who played last year plus S0LIDARITY and Top_Shelf). If you're expecting a promotion/invitation, check your inboxes. Evo, bandit0013, and Shiiison, you have a PM.

Also, Ckozelic has jumped into the Keeper fray and taken over Laarrs' Tebows.

I'm still waiting on four entry fees for Pro, but I can bang on the front doors of two of them so Gumbie, Minase, where ya at?

*Legion*, what's going on with Dynasty? If you need me to coordinate something, let me know. For everyone else in Dynasty, harass *Legion* to provide some information about what's up with your league.

Finally, we're almost ready to fire up the http://whenisgood.net/ polls for draft days. As information, the regular season start on 9/5 and the last games of preseason are on 8/29. We obviously don't have to wait until after preseason to draft (though you risk a late - or is it super-early? - injury that way). Start checking your calendars and keep an eye on this thread for links to the polls.

I don't see a promo invite in my inbox, but my D1 team has vanished

No invite, but my team is listed as being active for 2013.

I might have forgotten to do Pro. Check now. Your D1 team was removed to let Cybardian move down (or someone else move up).

Yeah, no emails for folks not changing leagues.

In.

Behold the Winterfell Direwolves of Division 2 West!

Sent.

2 questions:

1) Looking at the scoring on fleaflicker, under RB there is no provision for points per reception.

2) In Pro, there is already a draft order, is that the official one?

Thanks!

Legion, what's up with Dynasty?

1) That doesn't sound right.

2) It should be the reverse of last year's finish.

Edit: Now that I'm in the office and not on my phone, I've looked at the scoring and it's not by position, it's by scoring category. Receiving points are receiving points, regardless of position. Or am I missing something?

Sorry for silence. I'll reappear tonight.
