This year, like the others, we will have more contests. The contests are held through Yahoo fantasy leagues which is free. You just have to have a yahoo name etc. As far as I know, there are no limits to number of players in the leagues so everyone can sign up. :yay
- Salary Cap Fantasy Football- A different kind of fantasy football. Everyone gets money and has to build their team with that money. There is no draft so it doesnt take much time to make your own team. This is one of my favorite leagues even though I suck at it. It is simple to do, so dont be put off by the salary cap. I started a league, so if you are interested, please IM me and give me your email address so I can send you the invite. You must use your CF Screen name as your team name.
- Suicide league- pick one team each week. If your team wins you go on to the next week. If they lose, you are done. You cant pick the same team twice. We used to do this on the board, but Yahoo started doing it last year. It isnt open yet, but when it is, I will post the info. The more people that join the better.
- NFL Pickem- Pick the winners of each game every week throughout the year. Also not up yet on yahoo, but when it is I will set up a league for us. I talked a lot of shtein being a 2 time winner going for the 3 peat last year and we got a lot of people to join up which led to me getting my ass kicked. So lets get a ton more in for this years contest.
If you are interested in the contests, please post here so we get an idea of how many people are in. Again, the Salary cap league is open NOW, so if your interested IM me. Ill update you on the other leagues. thanks.
Of course I am in for all three.
I want in all 3 also.
Put me in for all.
i have 2 yahoo ID's so put me down for all three, twice ;D
:-D
I will win all three. You Hoydas may as well not even play.

Which of course, led you to being known as Demonchildren's Bitch!! :-D
I'm in all 3.
Im determined to make you my bitch this year.
It's on! :evil
You were all my bitches in Pick'Em. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
I'm in for all 3 too.
Put me down for PickEm and Suicide please.
Put me down for none. I'd embarrass every last one of you and I like all of you too much to do that.
Well, except for rjs. I'd actually derive a great deal of joy from embarrassing that jerk.
:-D

Sign up. I'll smoke your ass.
He means he'll smoke your hog.
Yes. That is what I meant. You managed to crack my thinly disguised non-hetero code.
I'll be in for pick em and suicide.
I'm in for the Pick 'em League, the Suicide League and any subsequent Suicide League started up for losers of the original Suicide League. I think I won the 3rd or 4th Suicide Loser League last year. :-D :-\ That's right.................I p\/\/n3D you biatches!
If you sign up though, you better freaking play the whole season. We had a few biatches punk out and stop picking last year after the first few weeks. You know who you are. ;)
I'm in for all.
I'm in for all 3
I'm in for the pick em. Gotta make sure I don't get into too many Fantasy football leagues this year.
Put me in for all three, please.
I edited my post. I decided to only be in for the pick em and suicide.
I'm in for suicide and pick 'em. No thanks on salary cap.
according to yahoo, the other contests should open up in mid august.
Pick 'em league please. 8)
I play for the triple crown. :-D
Looks like the Suicide League is up and running.
I'm in for Suicide and Pick 'Em.
I started the suicide league at Yahoo. Please IM me your email addy if you want in.
Guys and Gals, when signing up for the yahoo games, Please use your CF Screen name as your team name. Only way I can keep track of everyone. thanks in advance.

The only one I got sign up info for is the Suicide league. I want to win all three.
Yahoo has Pickem available now. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: IM me your email address and which contests you want to join. I will only send you invites for the contests you list to me. So if you want in all 3, say so. Even if you are already in the suicide league I need you to send me your email addy and state that you want in pickem etc. There are plenty of spots for all of the contests so sign up!!
there are still plenty of spots open for all 3 contests.
I'm in for all three.
Just put my Salary Cap team together and none of you stand a chance ;D
thats what they always say.
The problem is that most of us will have a lot of the same people on that salary cap team. Some of those bargains are impossible to miss.
even that doesnt matter too much... it really depends on what people do when the bye weeks are up. Do you keep a great deal at a low price and eat the points or find another guy and get the points for that week?

That's a good point.... Your roster is only enough to complete your roster on a weely basis with no reserves.
The rules state: "If you do not have a complete 9-man roster, you will not receive any fantasy points for your entire lineup for that week. " So if your QB is on a bye week does that mean you don't have a complete roster? Or do you have to sit your QB, pick another one up and then go back and get your regular starter back probably at a higher price.
Am I makings sense?

no. you have a complete roster, your player is just not playing that week and gets no points.
You must have a player at every spot, so you cant save money by not having a kicker and using that extra cash on another position etc.

Understood . . thanks.
The problem is that when a player has a bye week his value goes down significantly because so many people drop them so you have to be on the lookout for good values all the time. You're all gonna get smoked.
what do you mean his value goes down? As far as I know the price of a player stays the same through a bye week, no?
there are still spots open for all 3 contests, but obviously the season is starting soon and time is running out if you want in. This is my last reminder. Send me a message if your not in yet and want to be.

I haven't done NFL salary cap before, but in the other leagues I did years ago, the value of the players was directly proportionate to the number of owners to picked them up/dropped them. So on a bye week, a player will be dropped a lot lowering his value. That may not be the case here, I don't have any idea.
In the pick em, do you count the spreads?

I thought it was based on how well they did each week. Which I suppose could be the same as people picking them up/dropping them.
Friendly reminder, football starts tommorow evening at 9:00PM EST. All picks and rosters for all contests must be done before kickoff.
i never got the salary cap or pick em infos
Wah. Wah wah wah.

In the Suicide league, I can rest assured that I won't be in the first group of losers: 5 of 25 (20%!!) contestants didn't bother to pick for week one.

9 of us will be eliminated if San Fran upsets St. Louis. I was going to pick Pissburgh over the TitOilers. Let's see if I regret not doing so.

heh...whoops. figured i had until today to do it. oh well.
Same with me, tried to put my pick in this morning and it was locked out as of 3:00 AM EDT today. Since Yahoo has pretty liberal time rules for FFL, I hadn't even thought about it. Never heard of an NFL contest site locking out so early, but I can't bitch...I had three weeks to make the pick.
Just a warning to everyone left in the suicide pool...the website locks out at midnight Pacific Time the day of the first game of the week, according to the rules (which I didn't read until this morning). :-\
Same here, Jeff.
I thought since Yahoo sets the FFL deadlines 5 minutes before kickoff it would be the same for the Suicide stuff.
5 minutes = FFL
15 hours = Suicide
Just ridiculous. Oh well...I'm out. :-\
I totally smoked you guys by not getting eliminated before the season. I rule.
Im sorry you guys only had 30+ days to make your picks!
I usually wait to make mine until the last minute because of weather conditions. injuries and stuff like that.
Just be happy that I'm eliminated. I was going to smoke you foo's. :D
weather conditions first week. come on Phreak. Saying the dog ate your "hard drive" would be better! :-D
the dog ate my hard drive :paranoid
Unless St. Louis turns it around the Suicide league is going to be significantly smallers. :boom

28-6 now. The Rams, apparently, have no defense. Or Peyton Manning suddenly possessed Tim Rattay's arm. :-D
So...can we start a consolation Suicide League?
A big surprise. The Packers lost. And now I'm gone. >:(
suicide leagues acrossed the country are destroyed.

i'm in.
and probably eliminated already
If it's a go, I'll be in.
I created the CF 2nd chance suicide league.
PM me for the info. I will send to those who have already expressed interest in this thread, so you could annoy them instead if you so choose.
Sweet! Thanks man!
How can we view the NFC and AFC leagues to check out the week to week slaughters of the CF league?
I'm in. Info sent. farging Martz.
I rule. Washington kicked ass. ;D

Huh? I was terrible in the suicide league last year. I think I started a new suicide league for like 3 weeks in a row because I kept picking the wrong farging team. By the time I got to my 4th league last year I finally won because no one could match my skillz. :paranoid
Just signed up. Thanks.
Unfortunately, better send an invite to MURP, too. :'(
Something about a consolation suicide league just isn't right. I won't do it.

The Pats suck.
Congrats to mikey, The Waco Kid, and the aforementioned Satoshi on being knocked out of the consolation survival league in the first week. It's really an accomplishment to suck that much.

Just trying to be 'notable' ;)
That still eats at you, eh?
If your birthday were earlier in the month, you would have made the cut over Diomedes. Instead, you suck.
Happy Birthday, by the way. I guess that was a few days ago or something.
I still rule. And after Washington skunks Dallas tonight, I'll have a new title.

Haha. I suck. Good thing I don't do any of those for money.
BWAHAHAHAHA! And I'm leading the SCFFL too. Too bad I suck at Pick'em :-\
