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.







Hey Raf-
put me wherever you need to. I can work anything.
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?
Raf,
I can’t get the sign up button on my browser!!!??
I don’t want to miss the deadline!
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.
Never mind. page refreshed.
i still can’t click on the amazon link..
jerryw:
I added a text link below the image - EVERYONE should be able to see that. Let me know if you can get there.
Raul,
I sent you the e-amil with the transaction ID but my password does not work. Please let me know what to do.
Thank you
it works..and info has been sent
How do you send which division you want to be in? And how do you get your log in and password?
my password is not working either
I have an off topic question. Where did Stanley end up going? Did anyone pick him up?
Hey Raul,
My password no workie…
Cancel my last post I read the instructions and sent you the correct info
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.
contact link does nothing for me…i did send the info on the amazon site though…
I still can’t log in. I sent Raul an email with my last name and my time zone (Eastern) but I haven’t heard back and I can’t log in yet.
whec:
Try it now and let me know if you still can’t get in…
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!
Nothing yet…my last name does not work as a username nor password.
Raul or Raf,
I sent my info, am I in?
Eric,
You’re in. I haven’t had the chance to add the late arrivals. Will do it later tonight.
Raf,
So it is normal that my acct is not created yet?
ManTab:
Try now…
Raul,
Thanks I’m in. I couldn’t find my team though….what do we need to do before drafting tomorrow?
my password or login is working yet
Cool Raf, TY. Please keep me updated.
Mantab:
Rafael is finalizing adding everyone now. I’m writing a new post about the league that will be front-paged shortly …
TY
