Sep 25 12:48 PMDraft:
As usual, the snaking draft order is determined based on last year's results. With 11 returning teams and 3 new teams, this means that the 5 worst returning teams select 1-5, the 4 new teams select 6-9, and the top 6 teams select 10-14.
As a result, the draft order is this:
1. Your Mom
2. the cgb spenders
3. Dwagonz
4. Pink Headphones (Old No. 7)
5. Puck_Giggles
6. Hotel Niagara
7. Goalie Fight
8. Stupid Goalie
9. Canucklehead
10. Gongshow
11. Quebec Roy-Hoos
12. Nailers
13. Ending on a Hinote
14. Mikeys66ers
Schedule:
Scheduling this year, as usual is primarily against division opponents. From weeks 1 through 7, you will play each team in your division, with 1 game against a team in the opposing division. From weeks 8-13, you will play the remaining teams in the opposing division. Weeks 14-20, again feature a game against all teams within your division, with 1 game against a corresponding team in the other division (opponent based on last year's results, with 1st playing 14, 2nd playing 13, etc. New teams are treated as positions 8, 9, 10, and 11). Finally, weeks 21 and 22 are against corresponding teams in the other division, again based somewhat on last year's results.
Keepers:
I'll post the list of keepers tomorrow after the keeper deadline has passed
Sep 25 11:45 AMWelcome back to Illegal Curve for our 7th season. We have 10 returning teams and 4 new teams.
Congrats to Mikeys66ers on last year's championship run. Nailers continued their division dominance over the upper division, while Quebec Roy-hoos took the crown in the lower division.
Scoring is the same as last year. Like last year, I put the top 7 teams from last year in the upper division and the bottom 3 and the 4 new teams in the lower division.
The Quebec Roy-hoos, Gongshow, and Puck Giggles moved up this year into the upper division, while the Dwagonz were relegated down to the lower division.
A special welcome to our newbs: Hotel Niagara, Canucklehead, Goalie Fight, and Stupid Goalie
As usual, returning owners have the option of 2 keepers, as desired... if you don't want any keepers, toss everyone back and enjoy your first round picks. If more than 2 keepers are selected I WILL choose the 2 LOWEST ranked players from the players selected, so please select no more than 2 keepers. As per the Yahoo! rules, new teams will use their draft picks in lieu of taking keepers. Make sure you have keepers selected by the day of the draft.
