bird_dirt Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Quote: let's see what kind of traffic we get from here for another week. i'd like any potential "dead owners" to be within yelling distance. i agree with that. we don't need to draft for another month, so there isn't a huge rush to get people signed up immediately.

Do you still play soccer? My season is almost over, only about 4-5 games left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzachary Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Quote: i like the 12-15 also. 20 could be increadibly fun, in that you have to pick up many other players that wouldn't ordinarily get picked, i like digging a little deeper for marginal players. but it's no fun if you end up one of the bottom teams and have no chance to pull yourself out, which could ultimately lead to dead teams. as long as there are at least 10 teams, then i'm happy. i don't plan on being in last place out of 20 teams, so i'm down with whatever. Hm.. I LOVE picking 20th (and 21st) in a 20-team league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably end up closer to the middle of the pack, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 too much running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyMcClure Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Quote: too much running. There is a lot more running and activity in real full court basketball than in soccer, in my opinion. There is a lot of standing, walking and casual jogging while the ball is on the other side of the field in soccer. And two guys don't run at all. Can you tell I'm not a big soccer fan? I like it more than hockey though. That's for sure! I saw the U.S. and Mexico a few weeks ago. Cool game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the adult rec leagues are shorter sides (7 v 7) and involve plenty of running for everyone except the goal keepers. Full court basketball is also a ton of running. Neither offers the greatness of softball where it is bad form to let your beer tip over when you have to chase a ball in the outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsuteke Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Quote: Done, let me know if you have any problems. I might ask some of the BravesJournal folks if they are interested too, unless anyone has any objections. We probably won't get enough otherwise. So far, we have the following teams and coaches. Speak up if one of these is you, or if I have guessed wrong: Corndog-o-Rama - ME GSUTeke - duh drunken masters - ? AHF - duh Springfield Isotopes - troy Classic City Crusher - joannes3000 go for it. people have had ample opportunity to join. Let's get this thing rolling!

I hate playing in a leauge with dead teams and the more people the more likely. i hope i'm just being paranoid. i can see why you need more teams in a baseball league with all the teams in MLB.

The problem with starting a draft after 10pm is that with a lot of teams, it won't be over til 1am or later. I have gotten several requests to move it off of Wednesday, so I set it to Thursday. I'll bump this thread a few more times, but really any questions about the league for those in it should go in the league forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, turns out the commish won't be in town that Thursday, and I refuse to miss a draft in a league I'm running. Therefore, the draft's FINAL time is Monday, Mar 26, at 6:30PM. Take note of it!
