2015 CalgaryPuck Fantasy Baseball

[Pagal4321]

Good morning,

I'm trying to find something to distract me from the Blue Jays cursed Spring Training, so time to focus on some fantasy baseball!

As per usual, spots are behind held for those who played last year and Yahoo has sent out automatic invites. If your name below is nowhere near your CP handle, please post and claim your spot. Should you not be interested in playing again this year, my instinct is asking you why not but I will ask that you let me know by posting or sending me a PM so your spot can be given up. However, two members of the league have Lifetime Suspensions, so that opens up two spots to start the year. Spots that have been freed will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.

DRAFT TIME: Sunday March 29, 2015 @ 2:00 PM MST

Please note the draft time CAN BE MOVED, if you are signing up let me know if this time works for you or not.

*1. oi oi oi!
*2. SportsJunkies
*3. jeep991
*4. Its Not Choo Its Me
*5. Trumpethead's Team
*6. CofR
*7. Suave
*8. ricoFlame33
9. <OPEN>
10. <OPEN>
11. Son Of A Beachy
12. Jiggy12

Odds are good that sportsjunkies finishes in 2nd place for the third year in a row, Suave will steal my draft picks and someone will have an outstanding auto-draft. Let's see if Jiggy can climb out of the basement this year...

Stay tuned....

[Suave]

I will happily steal all of your picks to help lead me to the regular season crown. Too bad they all choked and I lost in the 1st round

[InBurkeWeTrust]

oi oi oi here. Not sure how I won last season, but in for another!

[Skaloper]

I'll give it a go this year I'll PM you my yahoo.

[Tilley]

I would love to be a part of it, but I have to reconsider. Maybe next year.

[Hockey]

If a spot is still open I would like to participate

[SportsJunky]

Count me in!

[Pagal4321]

CofR hasn't responded to my e-mails or PMs, so I have one open spot in the league if anyone wants it.

[Cheerio]

How competitive is it? If you need someone to fill the spot who doesn't know anything about fantasy baseball count me in

[Trojan97]

I've played in the CP league past and would be interested in returning if there is a spot open. Quick question though, are rosters set for the week or do you need to update daily? I find I'm horrible updating my roster daily when the dog days of summer come around. If it's a set for the week type of setup, I'll gladly play if you need one more.

Yahoo is quite nice that you can get you line up days in advance but if you make a roster change it can be a pain to reset your lineups. Hardest thing is keeping track of who plays/starts each day.

[SportsJunky]

Draft is at 2pm and Flames v Preds is at 3pm. Now that's a good Sunday afternoon.

[Skaloper]

You forgot the Jays and Hitmen games too!!!

[Pagal4321]

Now we just need Cheerio to sign up before 1:30 PM....uh-oh.

[SportsJunky]

Uh. Are we uneven? Time to open it up to others?

[Pagal4321]

Trojan, it's not a weekly league but happy to have you back if you want to sign up.

[Da_Chief]

I'll do this for fun. Can't say I'll be very active though. Up to you guys.

[SportsJunky]

Well I'd rather we fill up today then delay the draft. Ultimately up to Pagal. It's his baby.

[Pagal4321]

We are all filled up, Cheerio signed up.

[Skaloper]

Draft room is open now

[ricoFlame]

I can't get in to the friggen draft room.

[ricoFlame]

No one else getting the connecting to draft server thing spinning?

[SportsJunky]

Did you make it in? Your team looks very good.

[ricoFlame]

I didn't make it in, it couldn't connect to the server.

[SportsJunky]

Good thing for you.;)

[ricoFlame]

Hahaha, yeah i guess...it's always nice to have something other than my ineptness to blame the lost season on in the dog days!

[Suave]

Crap missed the draft, damn kids.

[InBurkeWeTrust]

Missed the draft too.. totally forgot!

Time to scout out the dark horses in waivers!

[Hockey]

Are there any IR spots?

[Skaloper]

In this league there are 2 DL spots.

[Hockey]

Also how do the categories work? I usually do my pools on ESPN, so I am just trying to get a grasp on this one.

[SportsJunky]

It's head to head. As long as you perform better in that category than your opponent during the week, you get one point. Team with most points wins that week.

[InBurkeWeTrust]

You're going down CanuckFan!

[Cheerio]

So it looks like I won my matchup this week 11-7. Will my record be 11-7-2 or 1-0-0?

We are doing Head to Head. Which is the rules below.

Head-to-Head
Each week, you'll battle a new opponent from your league in a series of "games" to see who can accumulate the most points in certain stat categories.

You'll play one "game" per stat category, so if your league uses 10 different categories, you'll play 10 "games" against the same opponent.

To win a "game," accumulate a higher total than your opponent in the given category (if you end up with the same total, you'll each earn a "tie" for that game).

At the end of the week, your record will reflect how well your team performed in each of the games.

For example, say you out-performed your opponent in 6 out of 10 categories and tied in another -- your record for the week would be 6-3-1, their record would be 3-6-1.

Over the course of the season, your weekly win-loss total will be added to a cumulative season record, and the teams with the best records at the end of the season will compete in the league playoffs.

[Hockey]

Good start to the season. We'll see if it will continue.

[Skaloper]

Good start to the season. We'll see if it will continue.

I usually start strong but run into injury problems. Every year my Closers have problems.

[Hockey]

Well this is all I have to look forward to for the next couple months. At least I'm off to a good start and first place feels nice for now.

[InBurkeWeTrust]

missing the draft hurt.. Last place ftw!

My players keep going onto the DL..

[Skaloper]

Hey look at my Closing Pitchers...

[Hockey]

Surely all my batters can't keep this up. Marisnick has been a solid pick up for me.

[Hockey]

My first loss of the year. :(

[SportsJunky]

Looks good on you. :)

[InBurkeWeTrust]

Moving on up! Almost swept Hockey last week :)

[Skaloper]

Moving on up! Almost swept Hockey last week :)

I'm moving on down.

[trumpethead]

Thanks for a good season guys!! I hope we do it again next year.

[InBurkeWeTrust]

Dropped down so far!

Congrats
