9th Annual ATOT Fantasy Football Money League (2014)

[glenn1]

So, are there any rules for trash talk? I would hate, and by hate I mean would be slightly annoyed, to overstep a boundary and be ostracized from ATOT for disparaging comments about your ability to estimate which players in a limited pool will have a better game.

I would talk trash but it's hard when you suck at fantasy football. So I just passive-aggressively post image macros.

Playful jibs are encouraged. The commish is probably one of the bigger shit talkers in the league

I'm not so sure anyone would go to Ruxin levels of trashing:

LoL, next time please see the payment instructions not make it so obvious

 

[KeithTalent]

Yea, looks like we will be full. Reckoner got the one open slot. SpunkyJones and akshatp confirmed, but traditionally late

 

[KeithTalent]

Cool. Well we have one open spot left in the $50 Auction League, if anyone reading this is interested.

[KeithTalent]

So can we set the draft order? I like to know in advance where I will be picking.

akshatp left to pay? but otherwise I'd be interested in knowing my slot too we've got time though

Draft order has already been generated. Look under the "My Team" tab and just below the red bar with the draft counter in it, there should be a little gray box with all of your picks in it.

I think that's not the actual draft order. The same thing happened last year: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=35379677&postcount=35

The draft order has already been assigned. Look under the "My Team" tab on the league page to see your number.

No, not yet. It is default or from last year that shows up currently.

I will use the random number 5 times this weekend and confirm the draft order.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah, glenn is correct, that is just some sort of default from last year. Would love to get an actual order going soonish.

[slayer202]

[vrbaba]

The Imprezas

Still one to pay, but I am assuming akshatp is good being in the league since year 1.

 

[smackababy]

Not particularly creative team names. =( Son, I am disappoint.

I'll have you know good sir, my team name (Aaron Hernandez Pistol Offense), was the most liked comment on a facebook post by Matthew Berry asking for creative team names. Of course he couldn't publish it in his blog.

Oi.. 9th. Gonna have to do some praying.

Not super excited about 12th either. That being said, can we move the default draft pick timer from 60 seconds to 30? I hate it when the draft takes 3 hours or more because people aren't getting their picks in and having to wait for autodraft to kick in.

Trade you my 7th spot for your 12th.

Guys, confirm any trades by next week. Straight up pick trades allowed only.

Also, I am thinking of eliminating 7th place prize this year and introducing weekly prizes. I will pick 5 weeks and determine the criteria for each for a $20 win. For e.g. Week 3 will be set as the most points total by your bottom 2 RBs.

Idea is to try to make you think a bit about your lineup for that week. So, in the above scenario, you may have to decide not to play a RB in your flex so your bottom 2 would be your top 2 RBs.

What ya'll think?

Open to the idea of criteia prizes rather than consolation bracket prize. If weekly prizes, how about setting aside a couple payouts for the team that scores the 2nd most points in the league any given week but loses to the team that ranked 1st?
