Fantasy Update III

Posted: September 4, 2006 @ 12:38 am

Late Update 6:30 Central Time:

We have 45 players right now.  I’d like to get 48 to have four 12 player leagues.  I will keep the entries open another hour, until 9 pm Eastern time for anybody who wants to join.  If you are thinking about it or have a friend who loves roto ball, give them a shout.  We’ve got the space.

Right now, we’re two players short of four full leagues. There is still time to join, though we will not take any more players after Monday at 8 pm Eastern time. If you want to join, use the Amazon link in the left hand border just below the page header. Admission is $20.

Some info for those already signed up:

1. I have entered login data for everybody who has paid and given us an e-mail address. There are four of you who have not provided an e-mail. Please e-mail raul@theboys.com with your e-mail address and your Transaction ID from your confirmation email immediately so we can enter you in the system and give you a login and password.

2. For those of you who have provided e-mails, there are two notes:

  • If you have already signed in and created an account for yourself, you’re in. Two of you have done this.
  • For the rest of you, got to http://ffl.theboysblog.com. Your login is your last name. Your password is your last name, in lower case. Try to login and see if the passwords work and if you can find yourself in the appropriate league (see below).

3. I have created four leagues, the Boys Blog East, North, South and West. Those who gave me e-mail preferences have been put in appropriate leagues. All drafts are on Tuesday. If you have trouble making a Tuesday evening draft, try to find a proxy to draft for you.

Right now I have nine players in the BFL West. I have five in the East. I have six in the South. The leagues are tied to draft time. The Eastern players will draft at 7 pm Eastern time. The South players at 7 pm Central. The Western players at 7 pm Pacific. I have no Northern division players but will probably start them at 7 pm Mountain time. If you live in the Central zone and want to start a little later, let me know. I have one player who lives in the Eastern time zone but will play in the West because he wants to draft after putting his kids to bed. I have kids so I understand.

Sixteen of you have not given me time zones. I will place you in leagues at random if you do not. I want to make drafting easy for you but you need to help me out.

Again, we have plenty of space if you want to play. The drafts are 16 rounds, the scoring is yardage plus scoring with defense stats kept (but you won’t draft individual defensive players). We will have TEs.

Admission is $20 and will pay for some great Cowboys-related prizes. Join us.

    You’re in the South. I may put some people in the East. I need five more and figure some of the stragglers are East zoners anyway.

    Raf,

    I am in.

    The site shows 40 players right now. 10-10-10-10 I am guessing??

    Where do we go for the draft?

    I just joined and would like to be placed on the East (if there’s still room).

    The ffl.theboys.com does not work for me. Am I doing something wrong?

    Mantab:
    The site was wrong — I have corrected it above but it’s http://ffl.theboysblog.com

    alanTDot:
    For some reason the Amazon box does not always show up. If you move your cursor over the blank area above the “Best NFL Blog” graphic you should see the link. A balloon should pop up saying “Click Here to Join The’Boys Blog Fantasy League”. That should get you there.

    Raf,

    The link is not working for me also. I am not going to make the draft and need to set up my players rankings.

    To all new signups.

    I need your e-mail address and division of preference. Send them to the “contact” link in the left hand column.

    This does not give you login and password automatically. I have to enter your data in and activate you. I should have that done early this evening after we get all the players signed up. You will get in, just give me a little time today.

    9 people signed up today and I have Transaction IDs for only THREE of you (lowell, jerryw and ManTab). If we don’t get the Transaction ID from the confirmation email we cannot set up your fantasy account!
