Hail to the KING baby
EDIT: 1/3 spots left now.

1st Annual GA Fantasy Baseball Money League. All GA members welcome. First 4 to PM me are guaranteed a spot. I will keep a waiting list thereafter.

Here are the details:

The buy-in will be $20. ALL the prize money will go back to the winners. This is why we are doing it on Yahoo! free.

Assuming we get 12 people, the prizes will go like this:
1st- 140
2nd- 60
3rd 40

If we have 10:
1st- 120
2nd- 50
3rd- 30

Here are the current players (9) signed up:
AstroLad
Fifty
Brian Fellows
Big Jonsson
Boomer
Miguel
Eminem
Joe
Sactown

The minimum amount of players will be 10 and the max will be 12. As you can see we are approaching those numbers fast.

The categories and scoring is all Yahoo default- roto, 5X5. We will use Yahoo's Can't Cut List, and trades have two days to be protested- here are the rules for that:

Accepted trades can be overturned by a vote of at least 1/3 of the members of your league. All league member votes, including the one cast by the commissioner, count equally. Even if no protests are made, the trade will not be processed until the time allotted to protest pending trades in your league has elapsed.

The draft will be Live and in mid-to-late March. Of course, you can Auto-Rank and let the computer make picks based on your rankings but I will try my best to find a time where EVERYONE can make it.

These are the detailed settings:
Max Teams: 12
Scoring Type: Rotisserie
Player Universe: All baseball
Max Moves: No maximum
Max Trades: No maximum
Trade Reject Time: 2
Trade End Date: August 14, 2005
Waiver Time: 2 days
Can't Cut List Provider: Yahoo! Sports
Trade Review: League Votes
Post Draft Players: Follow Waiver Rules
Max Games Played: 162
Max Innings Pitched: 1250
Weekly Deadline: Daily - Tomorrow
Start Scoring on: Sunday, Apr 3
Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL
Stat Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

The general rules can be found here if you have any other specific questions- http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/baseball/brules/index.html

Sign up will work like this:
First PM me and post in the thread to indicate you are participating. Include in the PM your e-mail address where you can be reached. The first 12 PMs I receive will be locked-in, but I will also keep a waiting list. Then I will provide you with my Paypal account address, but payments can only be accepted via direct bank transfer or money you already have in your Paypal account. This means no credit cards unless you want to pay the Paypal fee for credit payments (I don't know what that is, maybe a buck or two). If this is not possible, I will also accept payment by check or money order through the mail. Once your payment has cleared I will PM and e-mail you with the league information so you can register your team. Once we have everyone signed up, I will sort out the payments, if I don't hear from you confirming how you will pay, I will get another manager to replace you.

Winners will be paid in the same way they paid. I have direct transfer available so I will direct transfer those who paid on Paypal. If a winner paid by mail, I will mail them a check.

So respond via PM w/ your e-mail if you want to do this and take the time to post in the thread. Yes, you can even talk shit.

Calder, Cubsfan...anyone who wants to join, PM Astro and we can go from there. We could start with one more person, but 3 more would be great as well.

goddamit, Griese!
I hope Cubsfan joins so he drafts all cub players. then he'll be in first place with one week of the season left and then he'll fall to 4th.

Can we hold a spot for Solrac? :p


Gimme 12 hours, I'll hunt his ass down.

Edit: Strike that, Fiddy says he's being a cheapass. I just think he doesn't want to face me.

No Raoul Duke? Wow...:p

I think he mentioned he couldn't swing it when it was gonna be at 30, but I PMed him anyway since he is one of my favorite people to play with. I dunno, maybe he can make it at the 20 that it's at now? I'm pretty sure MaxwellHouse really wanted to play too, so w/ Cubsfan we're set at 10, w/ Solrac and Maxwell we'd have 12. So whatever I have by tomorrow night is prolly what I'll stick with.

Great. That leaves one more spot and we have our 12-man league. Of course anyone who wants to play PM me and you will go on the waiting list after that.

But GET IN NOW! ONE SPOT LEFT!

Maxwell House struck me as a dedicated player, and the money was no problem for him, I hope he gets this in time so he can join.

Wait... can we change this:

Stat Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

Replace AVG with OBP and we're good to go.

:lol

In the interest of sanity we are going to keep everything standard. Otherwise we will have people start arguing the importance of balks per 9 innings. ;) I like OBP too, but you can still take knowledge of OBP and put it to use in a standard 5X5 league. Everything is set exactly how it is in the original post, all the rules, etc. to minimize problems.

I think you're the 12th. CONGRATULATIONS TRIUMPH! TIME TO KICK YOUR ASS!
Not in this lifetime, sucker. Roto is easier to figure out than head to head, where streaky players can derail you one way or the other. Thanks for the cash, rubes.

Edit: one suggestion we might seriously want to consider is upping the maximum innings from 1250 to 1400. In my experience, even with 5 starters you will burn through the 1250 sometime in September.

Sneaky bastards! I want in. I thought of this idea, after all.

Hey I even PMed you! ;p

Sweet, that makes 12 then. I'll start e-mailing people tomorrow about payment info, so check your e-mails! If anyone else catches this late, feel free to PM me and you will be first on the waiting list.
 
I'm in! I just PMed you. Did i make it in?

Crap, looks like I didn't make it. :(

Oh well, hopefully one of you bastards doesn't pay up and I can sneak in. :lol

OK I just sent out the e-mail to everyone. I just BCC'ed everyone so if you don't see it in your normal box check the junk box and then just add me as a contact. Jonsson- It may take another day or two b/c of the holiday weekend here.

Why thank you.

Joe said:
when do u need/want the money by?

Like I said in the e-mail, I need to know what everyone is doing at least by the end of the week. If you have a Paypal account and are verified, pay by Sunday. If you need to get verified, do it ASAP and tell me that's what's going on. If you are sending a check, e-mail me and I will send you my address and send it out ASAP. This way we can start getting together b/c the longer we have to wait to make sure of who is in, etc., the more difficult it's going to get.

A couple more thoughts I had:

-We should have the draft as close to the end of spring training/beginning of the regular season as possible. Since dough is on the line, it would suck to have our stud pitcher tear his mangina in spring training or something. We also get a better idea of finalized rosters this way.
-EVERYONE MUST BE THERE FOR THE DRAFT. Every year we do the non-cash league, half or so of the people don't make the draft. Attendance should be mandatory, and if you're not there expect your team to suffer for it. Everybody should want to win and should be doing research to have a good draft, but if you don't show up YOU CAN'T AFFECT THE DRAFT! So show up, suckers.

i say a sunday night draft

Right now the draft is tentatively scheduled (that is I reserved the spot on Yahoo since they go fast) for Sun. Mar. 13 at 8PM EST. Once we have everyone registered we can then figure out what works best for everyone, but that's why it's important everyone gets in FAST.

Mar 11 is my birthday (I turn 21, so I'm out the 11th and a large part of the 12th). The 13th should be good.

I sent my check in the mail today with the MEMO: Go LathAttacks!

K only people I'm waiting in terms of telling me they are mailing a check or Paypalling (or telling me they are waiting for money to transfer into Paypal) are:

Triumph
Cubsfan
Sactown
Boomer

I'll send out an e-mail Friday, but by Monday everyone should either be paid or near the end of the process of paying.

And then it is fucking on.

I'm just waiting for the funds to get to my paypal account from my bank account, then I'll transfer. Could have done the credit card thing, but that shaves some off the top.
