Note to self: do not make side bets with EddieBronze. 4 years of indentured servitude resulted.

I need to know how many players to put on my list. So far it looks like around 275???, maybe 25 competitors x 11 players each? Do you typically get some no-shows?

It'll be an even numbers of players, assuming goalies get voted down again. 25 competitors is optimistic as well.

Goalies? I'm going by the first post and it doesn't mention goalies. I'm submitting my list ahead of time so need to know the rules. Some clarification?

Dont worry about it, we stopped using goalies after SportsJunky routinely killed us because of them. No goalies.

Moneypuck:

When your enemy's making mistakes, don't interrupt him.

Locke: "I like Radulov."
Aeneas: "He's got an ugly girlfriend. Ugly girlfriend means no confidence."

troutman: "I'm a card counter at the blackjack table. And I'm gonna turn the odds on the casino."

Given that it looks like we may have 20-25 participants, what about cutting back the number of players drafted from 11 down by one or two? My draft list is getting awfully long.

There are still players projected to score 30+ points, 280 players deep.

Why? 250-300 players still leaves some fairly talented players.. Most magazines have the top 500 players in them as well

That why it's called LIVE draft.

I don't use magazine lists and it's taking a long time. No support, no worries. I'll slug through it.

Seb, I won't be there so have to get my list to my representative in advance. I will Be ready to go.
