PIFF Playoffs

It's playoff time in the land of the Pirate Islands. The Championship bracket looks like a tough one:



The defending champions Rebels come in with the #1 seed and they are matched up against the late surging Steepers. The ever-strong &'s are matched up against the once powerhouse Vampirates, but due to injuries, have been slipping in the standings.

The Consolation bracket pits the Pillagers, who just missed the Championship playoffs against the Kilters, who barley eked their way into the Consolation playoffs. The dominating Picklers are matched up against the losers of 6 straight, Snotknockers.



The Red Burns and Eldars packed up their equipment for the year and are enjoying the holidays.

Maties move to Pirataly

The SparrowIsland Maties have formally packed up their operations and moved to Pirataly. This after the team was left homeless after a recent move of venue left the team without support.

Days before the 3rd PIFF season started an owner from Pirataly stepped up and took over the team's day-to-day operations. Their first game was played under the former team name of SparrowIsland Maties, but after the game the team packed up and headed off to their new home in the capital of Pirataly, and renamed the Vampirates.

SparrowIsland has been grated an expansion team for next season as long as the planed expansion goes through, and the team can raise enough funds to cover the teams operations.

The Pirate Islands Fantasy Football league would like to welcome the Pirataly Vampirates to the league. May all your points be positive.

*A player must be played to be an All-Star.
(Brady is not an All-Star, even though he scored more points than Manning.) Ties are broke by determining which player contributed the most to his team percent wise.
The Coach was decided by seeing which team played most of the points possible, so Newgen got 72% of the points possible for his team last week (actual/optimal=percent possible)

Thanks everybody for bearing with me during this somewhat unruly draft procedure. And from now on you do not need to email me your picks, as it seems that everyone knows what is going on. Hopefully soon I will get a tentative points system in place (after all it is worth PBSE points ^_^ ).

Draft Schedule

You must get your pick into me on the day it is due (or earlier, if you will not be around). After you have notified me of who you pick, you may add him to your team in the league page (or, if you will not have access to it, tell me, and I can add him for you). The last two days of the draft will be makeup days for anybody who does not make their picks in time, remember, if you miss a pick you may make it up on the last day of the round, if you miss that day you may make it up on the last days of the draft (depending on which round you missed). Some important days to know are the August 6th which is the first day of preseason, and September 8th which is the first day of regular season.
Happy hunting!

Pirate Islands Fantasy Football running on Yahoo!

I have got the league going, including all the draft picks made so far, so it will be much easier to see who is still available.

Make sure to look over your roster to see that I have drafted all the right players for your team so far. (Pickle, there were two players on your team that I could not find to draft: WR,Drummond,Lions and K,Anderson,Vikings. If you can get these players on your team you may add them whenever.)

From now on you may add players to your team once you have drafted them. *You still must tell me before you add them to your team that you are drafting them.*

Soon I will be publishing a draft schedule, for the rest of the off-season.

Roster should be available now

Amber pointed out that the roster link does not work (yahoo briefcase stopped letting people use it as a file server). So I tricked Angelfire into being a file server. So here is the roster list.

Welcome to the Pirate Islands Fantasy Football 2005 draft.

It has been a long cold spring without hockey to watch, so let's forget about the labor dispute and start paying attention to football. How about a draft to kick things off?

The way that the draft will be conducted is that one person will draft a player a day until it gets closer to the beginning of the start of the NFL season then we will draft multiple players per day. The draft will conclude at the latest one week before the start of the NFL season. The draft will work in linear format so we will draft from teams 1 through 10, and then start again with 1 through 10, until all the positions on the teams are filled. The reason that this is style is implemented as opposed to the snake format that normal fantasy football drafts use is because the draft is a time for the worst teams in the league to build up their team. Since a majority of the starters on each team are retained from last year, each team is not on equal footing to start out the season, this draft is supposedto bring some equality to the teams. Thus the worst teams need to get the higher picks round after round.

At the moment it looks like there will be some changes to the format this season. First is the scoring system. The two main problems from last year are that throwing touchdowns were way overvalued.(Payton Manning carried my team through the season, and while it is true he did help the Colts a lot last year, he didnt help the Colts as much as he helped my team.) The other scoring problem is games ending in negative points. Both of these problems should be fixed this up coming season with some other tweaks to the scoring system as I see needs fit (Im am sure Lance has something to say about the scoring system ^_^).The other major change is that I am going to look into reducing the teams that make it into the payoffs, it may go from 8 to 6 or 4, and it depends on the options that yahoo gives me. Check back for updates on the changes to the league format.

So lets get down to it; the draft order will be (reverse order of how the teams finished from last year):
1. Tsukestan Picklers
2. Snotvia Snotknockers
3. Svinksland Pillagers
4. HarborCoast RedBurns
5. Futontopia Eldars
6. SparrowIsland Maties
7. Tea Republic Steepers
8. Scotslandi Kilters
9. Ambersandia &s
10. Kreplachistan Rebels


I have made a spread sheet of the players that each team has as of the start of the draft. It can be found here.

Anyone may trade players, but just remember by the end of the draft every team must have 19 players. If you do make a trade, be sure to tell me so that I can make changes on the rosters.

I will be using this page for updates throughout the draft and the season, so be sure to check back here for the latest draft picks as well as other random news. If you would like to post your own stuff here let me know and I will add your account so that you can post as well.

On the clock for the first pick is the Tsukestan Picklers.
