FF2010: keeper league sign-up thread

It still feels like it's too early for this thread but here it is, a day late and a dollar short. I'll fill the rest of this in later but for now, you can go over to the discussion thread for more information. Also, please keep the discussion over there and limit this thread to sign-ups so I don't have to sort the wheat from the chaff.

The most important thing to note, though, is that sign-ups for this league will not be first come, first serve. Various criteria will be taken into consideration including participation in previous leagues, quality of contributions into previous discussions, and the quality of your application. Of course, there are no details for this last one so be creative.

Remember that this is a new league in addition to GWJFFL1 and GWJFFL2. This is not the sign-up thread for those leagues. Sign-up for for the redraft leagues will begin about the same time as NFL training camps. Exact date is still TBD.

Important dates (approximations):
~7/20 - Sign-ups closed
~7/23 - Franchises awarded
~7/30 - Auction draft begins.

Oh, and there's one more determining factor for admission - the ability to be detail-oriented and follow instructions. Since it's buried in the intro, I'll even repeat it for you (in bold). Please keep the discussion in the discussion thread and limit this thread to applications. Granted, you won't be immediately disqualified if you can't comply with this request, but it will be an influencing factor in the decision. Thanks.

Count me in for the FF2010 Keeper League.

Count me in if my X-factor is high enough. I've ALWAYS wanted to try a keeper league, and this is the perfect place to do it with people who will stay past the first year.

I'm in.

In.

Count me in.

I'd like to give this a shot.

As evidence, I'd like to present my GWJ Fantasy Baseball league as evidence that I can stay in a league. Pay not attention to the record... everyone else is cheating.

I pledge allegiance to the code of the Goodjer Keeper League, and to the forums for which it stands, one community under Certis, indestructible, with football and gaming for all.

To be honest, I just want in on any of the leagues. I'd be happy not getting into this and letting those of you who have played with each other (teehee) for the past few years take all the slots. A keeper league with an auction system makes more sense when you're playing with people you know fairly well.

Sign up all you jerks who wanted this last season!

I was all for this last season, and will be for it again this year.

I, kaostheory, 2009 GWJFFL1 Champion, do hereby submit my application for enfranchisement into GWJFFLK.

Still three teams short. I might be off the hook after all.

I might be interested, but I just found this thread... still don't know what all's involved.

f*ck it. Screw you and your PM's Grump, I'm in.

New to the site, but I'm up for it. Always wanted to try a keeper league.

I'm interested. I can't make a live draft date on the 30th, though. I have a live draft for another keeper league on that same date. If there's a live draft and I can't make it I don't see how I could be in. Anyway I've been an active member of a keeper league for over five years and been doing fantasy football for close to 15.

I'm in.

I'm in as well. This year is my year. I'll have a good team AND I'll finish the season strong.

Huh. From the discussion thread (linked in the OP):

I wrote:

Unless I scrape together a web app, bidding will be done by email to me (if it's blind) or in some semi-private Google Doc (if it's open). Everyone will have X hours from when bidding opens to either bid or officially pass before they forfeit their opportunity to bid. Obviously, if everyone is active and engaged and passes in a timely fashion, rounds can move faster.

Hmm...

Count me in...would prefer to be in a senior/keeper league if I could Grumps

Thanks

You sure?

We have some very nice, simple re-draft leagues that maybe be more your speed.

Oooh... snap. Are we swapping up divisions, or does Old Man Depends have to kick my ass again this year?

This is a completely new and separate league from GWJFFL1 and GWJFFL2. (You knew that, right?) The divisions are still TBD.

As much as I would like to continue that tradition in this league, I am unable to do so. I've just got too much going on to add another fantasy team to the mix.

I, for one, will miss going up against your squad. It happens to be the only one I respect. If you ever want to play in the league I run around here that's local (FtWorth), just PM me and I'll add you to my league or let you peruse it. Happy Trails, Yoda.

Thank you for the kind words, sir. I'll still be around in the regular GWJ league. I'm just not going to participate in the keeper league. The local league intrigues me though. I may just take you up on that offer.

Sorry if you didn't get in. If, for some reason, one of the above persons decides to bow out, you'll be contacted about fill their spot.

Remember that sign-ups for the two re-draft leagues are coming soon (in 7 to 10 days).

If your name is in the list above, please PM me your email address. Thanks.

I'm going to go ahead and get a head start on rebuilding, and make Mark Ingram my first big bid.

Time to prepare.

I'm not PMing. You know my email.
We should draft via wave.
