First topic message reminder :

I've just got an email from NFL.com saying that you can now sign up for the 2011 season. Having never played before I'm not sure I'm the person to set the league up but I'll certainly join if someone else does.

On a slightly related note, has anyone seen 'The League', the comedy show from the producers of Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Dont mind which league to be honest mate- not a bad holiday- didnt actually go anywhere but been doing a lot of fishing in my spare time so only use the internet at work- or when i should be doing some uni coarsework. When will the drafts take place?

Yeah. I reckon that would be better.

I have no problem with that , gives us more time to work out draft statergy

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 11, 2011 2:29 pm

I'll expand the East league by two teams for now.

If we have even more demand, then I'll expand the West too.

Ok with everyone?

by RDuncan8 Thu Aug 11, 2011 2:41 pm

Yeah, coz Im in the west Very Happy

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 11, 2011 3:05 pm

The West has now been expanded to 14 teams.

by RDuncan8 Thu Aug 11, 2011 3:12 pm

Boooo!

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 11, 2011 3:30 pm

Thought you might enjoy that.

by Leedscowboys Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:12 pm

14 team league going to need to be on the ball in the draft

by Leedscowboys Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:15 pm

I have set up 10 team league in NFL.com if anyone is looking for a challenge the set up is a follows x1 QB x 1WR & x 1 TE x3 RB 2 D/ST 2 kickers and 3 IDP players its more of a run based league with points also for how well the defence plays on yards and points allowed

by crazy_dave23 Thu Aug 11, 2011 7:45 pm

Nice league names Pr4wn... you'd never imagine you lived on the channel islands!

Glad i'm in the 4 team division!

Oh and i'm happy for you to randomize yourself and let us know, but i'm not fussed if it is random... almost makes it more fun not knowing what order things are in until the last min!

by GB1919 Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:03 pm

You got a code for your league leedscowboys, I'm game to give it a go if there are still spaces.

Given the lack of a code i'm pretty sure there would be spaces!

by Leedscowboys Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:20 pm

will send I have 8 spaces left if you take, if i get more committs will send details

by asdral225 Sun Aug 14, 2011 9:58 pm

Have you decided on a time and date for the draft?

by Leedscowboys Sun Aug 14, 2011 10:37 pm

poss Fri 26th still need numbers

by skins4ever Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:01 am

Any chance it could be a couple of days later? I'm going to be off-line at least until Sunday that weekend. I know you can't legislate for everyone, but...

by mikeygnfl Fri Aug 19, 2011 3:23 pm

My team in the 606v2 West League is the New York Bulls.

So how & when will the draft take place/ work?

by **Pr4wn** Fri Aug 19, 2011 3:28 pm

4th September, 6pm GMT. Snake format with the order to be randomly selected.

by asdral225 Fri Aug 19, 2011 5:23 pm

Is the East league still on for the 26th? Have you an idea of the time?
Cheers

by Colan (niner) Fri Aug 19, 2011 6:53 pm

can someone please tell me when they think the 606 v2 east draft will be,
ta guys

by **Pr4wn** Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:04 am

The drafts for both the East and West are on Sept 4th at 6pm GMT.

by Colan (niner) Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:23 am

thanks

by asdral225 Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:47 pm

See you there

by Grizzly Sun Aug 21, 2011 9:59 pm

Prawn - probably a stupid question but how do I access the league ?
Can't remember what my team name was !
Doh

by crazy_dave23 Sun Aug 21, 2011 10:09 pm

Hmm.. you dont need to know your team name...

You need to know the NFL.com login that you created things with... so an email/username and a password.

I presume that there is a "forgot my log in" box somewhere on http://www.nfl.com/fantasy

by Grizzly Sun Aug 21, 2011 10:32 pm

Cheers Dave, trouble is my fantasy login takes me to another league I'm in, has to be a way round it I can't be the only bloke in the world in 2 different leagues.
I was hoping there was a search facility via the league ID.
I'll keep battling....

by **Pr4wn** Sun Aug 21, 2011 10:35 pm

When I hover over fantasy, it shows all three leagues that I'm in...

by mikeygnfl Mon Aug 22, 2011 12:47 am

I have a question for anyone who plays in the NFL managed leagues.

Can anyone remember if those leagues had two divisions of one last year?

I was sure they had two divisions of five teams but the NFL.com websites insists that they had one league of ten teams.

League I was in last year was 1 division of 10 , as is my nfl managed league this year

by **Pr4wn** Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:35 pm

Our leagues are three divisions of four, I think.

by crazy_dave23 Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:15 pm

except the West has some 5 team divisions...

Also, is it possible once the draft is done to convert the leagues from private to public so that I for example can go onto the East division pages and look at everyone teams etc. I don't know if this is physically possible?

by **Pr4wn** Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:19 pm

Not sure mate, I'll publish things on here anyway.

by crazy_dave23 Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:25 pm

Yeah, I reckon we should have an East and a West thread going on to keep track of things if you cant just "make public" the leagues

by RDuncan8 Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:54 pm

Yeah, and maybe include the team names and the person's user name in the first post so it's always at the top of each page.

You can make the league public by going to Manage and then checking the make viewable to public box at the top of the league settings list.

by **Pr4wn** Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:23 pm

Ok they're now both public.

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 7:59 pm

Awesome,
Obviously good to have the banter on here, but nothing beats actually being able to see what guys in the other league are on about!

by Grizzly Tue Aug 23, 2011 8:45 pm

Prawn - I sent admin an e-mail quoting the league you set up, they've come back with the following as members in the league:

Dyslexia Utd
Might Marks Marvels
Thunder & lightening
Tony Romo & Juliet
Child Please
Beast Mode
Team Tebow
Prestige Worldwide
San Francisco Trams
Bam Bams Warriers
The Stormbringers
Devonshire Longhorns
Horwich Casuals 2

Fairly sure none of these are me, did you set up another league that I might be in ?

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:16 pm

That league (West) was the remains of the original one that you were definitely a part of. Some people got eliminated from it as part of the re-sizing to 2 divisions... in fact most did including myself.

No idea if your any of the teams remaining, all I can confirm is that the San Francisco Trams are me.
Definitely need to get you involved somehow in one of the leagues

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:19 pm

There is a space in the east league
http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/384548
so quickly join that one Grizz and then we can sort out if you were part of the previous one later!

by Grizzly Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:29 pm

Dave - OK nest stupid question, how do I join ?
I follow your link and get to the league homepage but there isn't a 'join league' button.
Sorry, not very good at these things....

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:30 pm

I'll just find the link...

Therer are now two 12-team leagues for 606v2 users.

The are the 606v2 East and 606v2 West leagues. The password for both leagues is 606v2.

606v2E.league.fantasy.nfl.com
606v2W.league.fantasy.nfl.com

The West league is the original league so still has a few teams in it. I also have to be in both leagues in order to administrate them.

The drafts for both leagues will take place on Sunday September 4th @ 6pm GMT.

Please only register for one league as I'd like to fit everybody in.

to join go via http://fantasy.nfl.com/registration/privateleaguejoin when logged into your account.

League ID should be 384548
Password was listed above as 606v2

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:35 pm

Also love the way that one of the first games in that league is between "Rex drops back INTERCEPTED" and "Beck4LeagueMVP"

It's like the Skins QB battle rolled up into one insignificant fantasy matchup

by **Pr4wn** Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:02 pm

In order to re-size the league I had to boot a load of people out, it was all detailed on this thread.

There may be space left in one of the leagues.

If not, let me know and I'll increase the size of one of them.

by Grizzly Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:07 pm

Not sure if I've just screwed the whole thingh up Prawn but with Dave's help I've now registered for the 606 v2 east league as Bradchief1.
I won't play 2 teams so if I'm anywhere in the West league or anywhere else I can be binned and free up a spot for someone else.

Done my rankings as not sure I'll be around for draft day.

Thanks for your help Dave, much appreciated

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:42 pm

No problem... I still need to do my rankings, but i'll be around for the draft

Also don't think you have screwed things up... your definitely in the east and I recognized the team name immediately, so i'm pretty certain that's what you were before i.e. your not in the West Smile

by Colan (niner) Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:58 pm

just so you know i'm san frantastic in the east league and btw i let someone else pick the name of my team, i dont really like it now, i was going to call them the tartan titans

by crazy_dave23 Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:14 pm

I'm pretty sure you can rename
