FF15: GWJFFL 2015 registration and discussion

If D2 needs spot fillers to reach a full 12, I am available.

Especially if Rat Boy is there.

I'm sorry if I'm dumb -- but in Keeper -- is there a reason that my ending roster for the year doesn't look like my roster at ESPN? And am I right that ESPN is just for managing the draft/trades right now? Do I not get to keep folks I traded *for* and do I therefor get to keep people I traded *away*?

ESPN should be ignored for now. Once you submit your Keepers Grumps will adjust your roster on ESPN before we draft.

Correct. ESPN we use only because Fleaflicker still lacks an auction draft function.

Which, like a few things, has been on their to-do list for a while. :/

Who the heck's running it? An MMO developer?

I think they're a really small group of people. They sold to AOL and then the original founder/developer bought it back from AOL a few years later. I would be surprised if there's many more developers beyond just Ori.

That makes 12 for Keeper.

sr_malo, you'll want to look at "Team Grumpicus" and "Ed Reed and the Hobo Rail Riders" and decide which one you want to take over. Bill Bonney, you'll be getting the other one. You'll both be wanting to familiarize yourself with Auction Draft format, if you're not already. You might even want to try a few mock drafts to familiarize yourself with the tools we use.

Note that although Keeper has their 12 for this season, the waiting list remains open and, as seen by the folks mentioned above, it's very possible to go from the waiting list to participating in only one year. Additionally, we've had people sign up and then go AWOL so if you're interested, get on the list.

Ok. And I really apologize but just rescanned the forum and can't find the keeper values posted?

Okay, now we can totally deride you.

It's in the OP. At the bottom of the post. Here, I'll make it easy:

If you still can't find it, I'll come over and move your mouse for you.

Sigh

I've PM'd my choice. For the win...

I'd be interested in being on the waitlist for Keeper in case someone drops, wasn't sure where to put it on the signup sheet, so didn't want to mess up your system, Grump.

You post here, I add you to the sheet. That's the system. You did it perfectly.

Of course, if you'd have expressed said interest when you first posted a week ago, you'd be in the league this season. Though I hope it's simply because you've only recently come to that conclusion, I apologize if a lack of clarity on my part is why you didn't initially sign up for Keeper.

You were perfectly clear. I know Keeper is a big commitment and I didn't want to throw my name on the list without thinking it through first.

Oh yes. A commitment. In my case a commitment to diligently fight my way to the bottom.

Question on roster for re-draft leagues: "Maximum of 19 active players". With 10 starters, does that mean nine bench spots? That's a lot.

Yes, we keep a lot on the bench.

With the amount of teams in a league the later rounds are slim pickings for starters so the bench can be a toss up but can also make a winner down the stretch.

Do we have a set of Dynasty rules separate from the overall GWJ ruleset somewhere?

I believe they exist in Legion's head.

No complaints. More tweaking for OCD gamer-types.

It was 20 until last season.

Registration will close at 23:59 CDT on Sunday, 08/16.

26 hours to go and we're 4 shy in redraft and need one more in Dynasty.

I decree that I'm allowed to run more than one dynasty franchise!

Too bad Fleaflicker doesn't support that.

Late to the party here. I'm interested in anything/everything that's available. I tried filling in the registration log but I didn't have edit access. Let me know what I need to do to get involved.

Sounds like Dynasty is a go.

If we find ourselves one body short in the D-3 redraft league, i'll take the last slot. I'd hate for a league not to get off the ground because it's missing one manager.

Maybe let D-3 go as a 10 team league?

I'd like to own just one team in whichever format still has an opening, in this order of preference:

Pro - Or maybe I have to "win up" to get here?
D1 or D2 or D3 - Whichever is still looking for players
Keeper
Dynasty - If this is full and there are no other openings, I'd take over LeapingGnome's franchise (if that's permitted).

If there are no openings please add me to the waiting list for each format. If Pro is full please add me to that waiting list even if I get into another format.

Oh, that and an invitation to the Steam group, please.

Thanks for running the show, Grumpicus.

Ok, I've got you on the expansion team list for all 3 formats.

You're correct that you'll have to "win up" into Pro. I've got you on the expansion team list for redraft - which means that you'll be in D2... if I can fill out the league. Steam group invitation sent.

Registration is done and I've started working on next steps. Pro players, you've got a DM from me. Some other folks do, too.

We've lost 7 teams in redraft (I don't think I've ever lost that many in a single season; maybe it's time for new management) and only gained 4. That means there are 3 spots available in D-2.

Anyone want the third one?

In the probably very unlikely scenario that I get moved up, I would be willing to take a second team.

I am maxed out this year, as I am in 7 total leagues

With that said, if you are down to one spot left and no left to fill it, I am your man.
