The current draft date is set for Sunday, September 23rd at 5 PM Eastern. I am open to changing this to accommodate everyone in the league. Once we have some people that have joined the league we can figure this out.

Current Registered Teams:

1. Ronz - The Internets
2. BucPride - Thunderfury
3. Smelnick - Burninators
4. Diss - Manshaft Armada
5. Capo - Humble Magnificent
6. Borg1982 - The Assimilators
7. MervBurger - City Name Team Name
8. Idlechill - IceGators
9. Wojo - Malkin's Pizzeria
10. Juanzen - Slammers

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Totally in again. This year I'll get behind the wheel of Manshaft Armada and hopefully pilot it to an improvement over last year.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have to go in again. Placed third for the last two years, so I must defend my bronze medal!

In as Thunderfury. Good luck guys.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I might join, but I have better luck committing to one league in a season and football is more fun.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've always missed the sign ups for Fantasy league. This year I am here on time! Signing up with Burninators.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So this thread is a little dead. Maybe it needs a bit of a bump. So far there aren't many people signed up. Hopefully that number increases as the draft date approaches.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I should join but I've never joined one and don't know what happens and what I'm supposed to do to start. If you want another person, lemme know the basics.

FELIPE NO

I'm in as the Humble Magnificent.

Don't mess with hockey.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's not too tough really. Here's the simplest explanation I can give:

You register a team name and then you can join the league using the league ID and password which are bolded in the main post.

On the draft day, the computer selects a random draft order and we select which players we want until all of our teams are full.

Each day that there are games in the NHL taking place, if you have players that will be participating in those games, you can select which ones you want to play and set them on your active roster. You also have I believe 4 bench slots for players that aren't playing that day, or players that you don't want to have active for whatever reason.

At the end of each day, the server calculates the statistics for each of your active players that participated in a game that day including Goals, Assists, Penalty Minutes, +/-, etc. and adds them to your total. Scoring is calculated based on how many people are in the league.

Say for example we have 8 people in the league like we did last season. Whoever has the most goals will get 8 points for the goals category. Whoever has the next most will get 7 points, and then 6, and so on down to 1. Now, if I was in first place with goals and had 8 points, but my players went on a short goal scoring drought and I was overtaken by the person below me in goals, he would gain 1 point and move up to 8 in that category, and I would lose 1 point and go down to 7. So the amount of points you have fluctuates based on how your team and your opponents teams perform.

I think once you get in and see how a few games work you'll start to pick up on it. You can also do things such as propose trades, waive players and pick up free agents, etc. It's good fun and I do recommend you sign up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Add me: Team name is "The Assimilators"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At the request of Ronz, despite not knowing shit about this kind of shit, I joined.

Besides, Smelnick is participating, I can't possibly do worse than him, could I?

City Name Team Name HOO!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My team:



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

well seems the league is small right now, I will join it's always fun, let's see if I pick the most horrible team ever, my team is Slammers and I think I am pretty close to the draft deadline, but yeah.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The assimilators shall assimilate!

How ya doing, buddy?
