Fantasy Football 2009 is Up & Running

[R8RMR]

I really like having a late draft here.  Time to see the field.    It's my latest draft this year, and I like variety in my FF leagues!

ETA:  Also, I'm sorry I haven't been around enough, too.      A bit of a bug kicked my butt. 

Hope you're feeling much better.

Ok guys, I've set up a 12 team league on ESPN. I'll give you a bit more info later today, but in the meantime you will need to register on ESPN, using the link below -

https://r.espn.go.com/members/register?registrationFormId=espn&appRedirect=http%3A%2F%2Fespn.go.com%2F

Then I'll need your e-mail address to send you an invite. You can either leave your e-mail address here or if you prefer you can e-mail me direct from the members section on the UKRaiderNation website.

I've set the draft date as Sunday 6th September at 20:15 in the UK or 15:15 EST for our American friends. You can either draft online in person on the Sunday or ESPN will autopick for you, if you can't make it.

If you've got any questions, just give me a shout.

I think I deleted your email!

All you need to do is PM me your e-mail address, so I can send out your invite, and you'll need to register on ESPN to accept the invite. Good to have you on board!!

I'm in

Cool that just leaves two spots. I've sent PM's out to two other members but they haven't got back to me yet. If we haven't got anything by the end of the weekend, I think we'll need to look elsewhere for the final two.

Thanks for hoping I'm feeling better.  I am!

OK, Blokes! 

The Yanks offered to try to help fill slots if the fantasy league needed more people.  We were just asked to see what we could do.  Just wanted you all to know what I posted over there.

This is our place for fantasy football, so I'm sending the invite we got to here. 

Tibs and I are playing in a fantasy football league at UKRaidernation.co.uk  this year.  Good people.

They have a couple of openings to fill, late draft - which can be fun.  And they have offered those slots to the Raider Nation fantasy football players on Raiderforum.  Hands across the water, folks. 

Type: Live Draft
Date: Sun., Sep. 6, 2009
Time: 3:15 PM ET
Secs Per Pick: 90


If anyone wants to compete with us, go to the UK Raider faithful forum, say "Hi!", and offer to play!!

They have asked us to offer these slots.  And you are welcome to join up!

Hey there - I am one of those Yanks and I happen to actually has a real affinity for most things in the U.K. (the list would be long but I'd be remissed if I didn't mention Coupling(no matter how many times I've seen each episode they continue to crack me up!), TOP GEAR, nearly every mystery show From Morse, Frost, Prime Suspect, Cracker, Wire in the Blood, Touching Evil (actually anything with Robson Green) Second Sight (before most Yanks knew who the hell Clive Owen was!!) etc.,  Ricky Gervais, Keeley Hazell and Lucy Pinder!!) Anyway, I didn't know this forum was around.  Glad to be here.  And if there is a slot open still on you FF - I'm game! Just let me know the info to sign up!

[Rolling Raider]

I just read the first post in this thread - I am already signed up on ESPN.com and you can send info to the email address I have here.  Just click on the icon below my screen name! Any problems let me know!

BC thanks for your help 

We now have a full roster with Other Porter and Rolling Raider filling the last two spots. As soon as they've joined the league I'll get the draft order sorted. I've got a link at home to a draft randomizer, I can't remember which one. Anyway, I'll input all our team names along with your e-mail addresses and the site will e-mail you all direct with the draft order, so you can be sure I haven't cheated when I get to pick either 1st or 10th

Cheers BC and welcome Rolling Raider.

I best go rank my players! And as much as I love the Raiders I doubt if I'll be drafting their defence.

Hi All

I've just used FF Toolbox to randomize the draft order. You will receive an e-mail direct from FF Toolbox confirming the order, if you haven't already. I put the teams into the randomizer in the order that you joined the league.

 I won't spoil the surprise except to say I'M glad the e-mail came from an independent source, so you can't accuse me of cheating. 

I'll upload the details into our fantasy league page (once Other Porter accepts the league invite  )

Thanks for joining the league and good luck................................................except when you play me

I got the email awith the order but just a couple of questions -

1.  Is this a snake order draft? I know most leagues are but some are not so I wanted to check because I couldn't find that info on our ESPN league page! (If  so I am very happy too! 9th in the 1st and 2nd in the 2nd!!)
2. Speaking of the ESPN league page it does not have this order. I suspect youjust haven't got around to it yet?
