Hop on over here:

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/welcome

Register and hit the "Join Public League" button. Search the leagues for "Armorama" and join Rodger and I for a season of mayhem. I have the draft set as "on line" for 8 am August 31st. I will change that as soon as we get enough people in the league.

Only room for 8 more people...

Well the Colorado Springs Stuarts will give you guys a run for your money.

I can't believe all ten spots haven't filled up yet. Come on your American football fans, where are you?

Has everyone forgotten this? With all of the American members of this site, so many of whom seem to be willing to jump into a discussion involving American football, I would have thought this league would have been filled a long time ago. Is anyone else going to join, or should those who are already in start inviting friends to fill out the league?
Come on, football fans. Don't let us down!

Bump again.

I "spoke" to Keenan today and suggested we open this up to non Armorama people. The draft is next week. Anybody else open to join, or should we open it up?

I'm not sure. I can certainly access most of the info online at work, even though our computers are pretty well locked down. I couldn't download the software for the actual draft though. It's some Java script and because of the way they've locked out computers I coudn't install it. Before they did that I've done things like this all the time from behind firewalls, so I'm guessing you can. If you sign up you can make sure your system can do the draft. I think you could then drop if it doesn't.

You might also PM Keenan, I'm not expert on this since it's my first time. (Be easy on me guys. )

I suppose the worst case scenario is that I get the default when I set up my pre-draft preferred list, correct?

So I assume that means you'll let me join, eh?

Everyone,

This is my first time at the dance, too. When we get the league full I will set it up and everyone will need to go and vote for the "off line" draft option. The default online draft is scheduled for 6AM next Wednesday. I could do it then but not everyone will be able to.

I keep this thread bumped and try to keep everyone posted.

Okay,

Head over to the league homepage. Click it it says "Referenda"" under "League Info." Under draft type click "list" instead of "live." If everyone votes it will change the draft to the auto list where you list the players you would like in order and you get them if they are available.

Shaun

Still need four more people...

Done. I'll start to ask around about anybody else who might be interested. I've got a couple candidates.

Good deal. I also posted a notice at the league homepage in the "league messages" deal. Sort of like a mini forum. This should be fun but I think I am going to really get my @ss handed to me...

Folks I'd like to introduce Shawn, of the Kodiak Bears. Shawn has done this before, so if he wins don't blame me for brining in a ringer.

Who's the owner of the San Antonio Fans?

If the S.A. Fans stick, then we only need one more team to fill out the league. Come on, you armchair quarterbacks!

The roster is full!!

We have to teams with owners I don't know:

The MIdwest Nigurskis, No owner name listed, and
The Margarita Rock, Owner Maria Sanchez.

If anyone knows these team owners let me know.

We still need three more votes (Under "League Info, hit the "Referenda" link) to change the draft to the auto pick mode.

If we don't everyone is going to have be be online next Wednesday morning at 6:00 am. That won't be a problem for me.

Anyway, if you haven't voted take a second and vote.

Welcome Aboard Everyone!!!

Shaun


Oh, and keep an eye on the League Messages...

Don't know these folks. I'm Chicago Muddy Waters... fyi. Also, I did vote for the list and have pre-ranked my players (my guesstimations are in!)

The Midwest Nigurskis have been replaced by the "Green Bay Donkey Punchers."

I got my friend Shawn to vote on the draft. That's six and it's now showing autodraft. So we're all set for August 31 draft. I'm working on my list now.
