Live, auction draft.

It's a great league... however, unless you're a true rotogeek, it may not be for you. It's a cash league ($50 per team.)

Draft is Thu Sept 3, 6:00 your time, I believe.

Never done an auction league before but I'm not against playing in a pay league. If you're still short in a couple weeks, let me know. I can swing that draft date and time as well.

Shoalzie, we’re looking for more of a firm commitment, not a back-up plan. At this point, time is of the essence. I wouldn’t foresee any issues with you being a part of the league. If you want to throw your name into the hat, so to speak, just say so. Don’t stick your toe in the water. Holy mixed metaphors.

A wise man (if associating KC and wisdom is even possible???) once said, “dive right in… the water’s warm.” Or something like that.

Shoalzie

You've been vetted by the Jackass heirarchy.

Shoot me a pm with an e-mail addy and I'll send you an invite to the league... and if I can ever get an admin off their ass, you'll then get access to the JFFL forum.

Congrats.

Oh, I want in, I want in! Cheeyea!

Bet WAG's in depth prep starts and ends with Maclin, after that, he'll bidding off your hard work. Wait, it is the jackasses, so...most will be.

Auction drafts SUCK!

Especially when you draft from Kinkos.

Sorry Duane, we're full up. But just maybe somebody will put in a proxy bid on Alge Crumpler in your honor.

FantasyAuctioneer Going Out of Business

Hi everyone,
This is unfortunately the end of the road for FantasyAuctioneer. Thank you so much for being a part of our little footnote in Fantasy Sports History. Although we announced a partnership with RotoExperts last February, the deal has since fallen through. We both agreed that with ESPN and CBS Sports already in the online auction business, our window had already closed. We had a number of improvements planned, but realized that any successful innovation would likely be emulated soon after by much bigger pockets. RotoExperts Founder Ben Ice and I go a long way back, though, so who knows what we might be working on together in the future.....................................

Sincerely,
George del Prado
Founder

Shocker!

When you guys come back to earth and get the memo, gimme a jingle.

Auctions SUCK!


OMFG and look at this...

Fantasy Football Auction vs. Draft
Making The Best Day Of The Season A Whole Lot Better
by George del Prado, founder of FantasyAuctioneer.com,
The first and only real-time auction-draft software on the Internet

Over 95% of those who try auctions never go back to snake-drafting. The added dimensions of bidding and salary cap management make auctions a much more exciting and fast-paced player selection process. While people are generally happy with the snake draft, calling it the "best day of the season," they only need to auction once to see that the day can be so much better.



I guess that 5% that includes me is grossly understated, IF YOU'RE FUCKING GOING OUT OF BUSINESS NOW GEORGE!
Bwahahahahahahaha!



I know to each his own, you guys like it blah blah blah but it blows.

I was joking fools. I'll come back when you fix your league.

...or maybe one of you scrubs will come to mine one year when we have an opening. 1st prize, $900 and still 5 out of 12 owners get paid.

all me this year kids, I don't need another league this year.

Keepers
Adrian Peterson
MJD - Finally AFTER draftiong him as a rookie which I could have lost in this auction shit.
Gore - trading for Brady or Steve Smith before we start
TJ who's your mama "champiosnship"!

Nice timing, Duane.

We just had our auction draft last night and you can count me among the 95% that will never go back to a snake draft again, especially since ESPN now has all the bells and whistles and it's all FREE.

Good luck.

I think MJD is over valued this year because he's still going to be part of a RBBC, and won't get as many touches as other top selections like Peterson, Jackson, or Forte.

Another vote for auctions here, its the only way for larger leagues.

He's got some game. But he's a very, very unstable person. I pity the comish of whatever league he now plays in.

...or the constant string of untimely and useless profanity. (Duane thought inserting explitives would make up for his lack of game...wrong)
