JftC Fantasy Hockey Throwdown

We interrupt our Hurricane Drew coverage to report that your intrepid blog has a Yahoo! fantasy hockey league going this year.

If you want to throw down with Quisp, me, and other blog regulars in a head-to-head game every week, leave a comment below and I'll email you the details on how to join. We should be able to fit in 2-4 more teams.

The live draft is set for Wednesday, Sep. 28, 7:30 PM PDT.

P.S. If you're new to fantasy hockey, no worries! I was a beginner last year, and I still beat the pants off of BoC. Now that I think about it, though, their pants were probably already off in the first place.

Anyway, clothed or not: jump right in.

I’d like to join, but I won’t be able to make the live draft. I have a class from 7-9.

To clarify, I’m still in regardless of missing the draft.

That’s totally fine; you can set up a custom draft list or use autodraft for it.

Emailing now.

Sweet, I was hoping I’d be able to do that.

You guys do auction drafts or the random ole (and kinda boring) snake draft?

by wellsoliver on Sep 26, 2011 5:16 PM PDT reply actions  

Snake draft. It’s ok if that’s not your thing.

But personally I find that draft nervewracking!

Custom draft lists are a very good option.

Or co-managers. You can invite a friend to team up and draft for you.

Anyone know how long the draft usually takes? I’m already in, and am just realizing now that when the time says 730, that means LA time, and I’m three hours ahead, meaning it doesn’t start until 1030 my time. Just curious how late I’m staying up tomorrow (not that it really matters, with a month old at home, I don’t sleep anyway).

by Hoolie on Sep 27, 2011 8:12 AM PDT reply actions  

Our league is currently set for 20 teams. We had a 20 team draft last Saturday for The Battle of California and the draft finished up in just under 90 minutes. Granted, we had about 4 or 5 teams with absent managers and on Auto-Pick, but I was still impressed.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Another potential time saver is to stay for the opening rounds and then let your custom list/autodraft take over for the last four turns or so.

90 minutes for a 20-team draft?

how many roster spots? even then, that’s DAMN impressive!

It was 16 Roster Sports per team, with 1 minute and 30 seconds per draft pick. I was surprised at how smooth the BoC draft went.

The settings should be the same for the JftC draft tomorrow night.

Well, for everyone who left a comment: it seems like there’s enough interest for another 12 team league, at least…shall I go ahead and start it? I think I will.

Obviously the time of the draft would be different — we could do another evening round, or mid morning on a weekend. I’m open to suggestions.

why would the draft time be different?

Well, I’d be in one draft while trying to run another…doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Hey Niesy.

Is there anymore spots left in the 2nd draft? I’m already in the 1st one, but would like to be in the 2nd one….if that’s okay;)
