At the rist of n00bing off, what exactly are the rules to this league? Is it standard 5x5 roto? How do transactions work? Is there really no bench? Full redraft every year?

From post on Draft Start Time ...

WaCougMBS wrote:The draft will start 12 hours after the last player checks into the league Check-in (Just waiting on Y`s Guy. Players can post picks before that time, but no one's timer will start until the period for notification begins. After that, everyone is subject to the time-per-pick maximum stated in the Draft Rules. All other rules apply immediately.

Before I post a Round 1 thread, however, I need two volunteers to Moderate this league draft room so I can step back and manage Masters only. This entails posting new draft rounds and stickying/unstickying when necessary, keeping the Players Taken (by position) and Draft Results (round-by-round) threads updated, setting up and managing the Yahoo league when the time comes, and handling any other administrative tasks that might come up throughout the course of the league, whether that be handling it yourself or contacting a Moderator (green name or Mookie) or myself. Once I have two volunteers (and hopefully the check-ins from GRR and Y`s) we'll be off and running!

Gack. I didn't think we'd be starting quite so soon. I just went from no rankings of any kind yesterday to rankings down to 130 as of about 5 minutes ago. It just wouldn't feel right to start this shizz without a spreadsheet. :-D

The rankings may be crap of course, but the color coding gives me a warm fuzzy. :-B

The first few rounds don't take a ton of thought, draft really good guys who aren't super risky~. I felt the same way, I hadn't even thought about fantasy baseball until the invite came and suddenly I had to be ready within a week!

Picking 15th stinks btw~.

I wasn't super-happy about picking 12th, but it is what it is. :-B

The rankings from 130 through whatever are the complicated part too IMO, so I thought I better get cracking so I can stay ahead of the draft. :-°

I'm in the same boat. I'll probably just be faking it in rounds 1-4 anyway. ;-D
