Try to convince me that a 3rd RB does more poorly than a 4th WR.
Wouldn't it be a 3rd WR or a 3rd RB?

This is where strategy comes into play...and I think it makes the league better.

No. it depends on how you set things up.

are you saying you league only has slots for two WRs? In that case yes it would be a 3rd versus a 3rd.

I'm talking about 2 RB and 3 WR plus one flex. If you choose a WR you are saying that a 4th WR is better than a 3rd RB.

I guess it depends on the WR in that case.

But it seems to work fairly well with scoring and competition.

So it's up and going and hopefully it's to Mike's liking. I trimmed the reserves and the flexis and we've got plenty of spots open right now. I didn't set it for a live draft, though, because the deadline is two days away. If we get tons of interest in the next day, I'll set it for Wed.

I'm sending the info via PM to Mike, BFM, Tick (CB) and Drum because they have spoken here recently. I can't get on during the day, so hopefully you'll have access to the ID and password if you want it.

I'm not sure how you figure the deadline is two days away. The Yahoo! live draft deadline is Saturday, September 8 - we've got a whole 'nother week. I vote for a live draft.

Yeah, not sure what I was reading either on the live draft. But we do have to set it for Wednesday at the latest if we want to start the first week

Quote:
Note: The first day of regular season games is Thursday, Sep 6. Your draft must be completed at least one day prior to the date on which your league wishes to start scoring.
The latest time available on Wed. is 4:15 EDT. Let me know if you want to go with that or hurry and grab a few people to hold it earlier. I just want to make sure we have the critical mass of teams.

Could we make it Wed at 2 pm EDT? That would be 12 here. Great lunchtime diversion.

I second this request - Wednesday, 9/5 at 2:00 EDT works great for me.

The live draft is at the above time and there are still a few openings so tell friends, family, senators that won't be running for re-election, anyone that might stick through the entire season.
