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.

End of First Round, Start of Second

Here are the last four picks:

1st Round; 8th pick: Rebels choose Shayne Graham, Kicker, Bengals

1st Round; 9th pick (make-up): Pillagers choose Jeff Reed, Kicker, Steeleers

2nd Round; 1st pick (10th overall): Picklers choose Derrick Mason, WR, Ravens

2nd Round; 2nd pick (11th overall): Snotknockers choose Donte Stallworth, WR, Saints

Next up to pick is the Svinksland Pillagers, which is due the 30th.

Hopefully i will get the Yahoo stuff up and running today, as well as a full draft schedule. If i do i'll get it posted here.

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.
