Hello everyone, I have volunteered to get people signed up for the USCHO fantasy college hockey leagues that we play annually. I decided to move the thread to D1, as opposed to the cafe, where it usually is, to generate more interest and reach a larger number of USCHO posters.
We use the website www.fantasycollegehockey.com that was developed by Zudnic, another poster. The game is always quite a bit of fun, and I think most people are able to have a good time with it.
Anyone is welcome to sign up to play, BUT if you sign up, you will be expected to be able to show up to the draft on the night it is held for your league, and participate in the league throughout the season. In the recent past we have had problems with posters signing up and not showing up for drafts, or neglecting teams all season. This creates a huge pain for everyone else that wants to participate and for the people that run the site. I will do whatever I can to make sure I get you in a draft on a day that you select, to minimize any problems. To sign up, go here, and fill out the form. (If that link doesn't work, let me know. This is the first time I've made a Google Form, so I'm not sure if I did it right)
When I get all the entries, I will split people up into leagues, depending on which day you can draft, and any special requests to be in a league, or not in a league, with another poster. The goal will be to have leagues of 7-9 teams, ideally 8. Each league will be run separately from each other, draft separate and have a different champion. To conduct the draft I am going to try to use a Google Docs spreadsheet to keep track of everything, though I haven't gotten that completely sorted out yet. In the past we have used AIM to conduct a draft, but we have run into issues with everyone having the software and being able to use AIM. I am open to suggestions on what would be the best way, that is most accessible to everyone involved.
These leagues will use players from all of Division 1 NCAA hockey. Any and all leagues are in play. You are required to start 6 forwards, 4 defensemen, and 2 goalies each day, and you'll have a bench that consists of the same amount of each position, for a total of 12 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 4 goalies. You do not have to set your roster for a week and leave it, like with fantasy football; you are allowed to change your starters each day, prior to the start of the games. There is no limit to the amount of roster moves you can make. The scoring is detailed at the fantasycollegehockey.com website, so feel free to take a look there in the meantime. Also, don't sign up at the fantasycollegehockey.com website now, we have to get the leagues set before anything can be done on that website. If you try to sign up now, all you're likely to do is cause headaches for Zudnic.
There have already been several posters that have expressed interest in the old thread, for those of you that have, please fill out the form so I can get you on the list. Also, if anyone signs up with the form, please post a confirmation that you have signed up in this thread, so I can make sure that I get everyone's information.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. There are several of us around that have played in previous seasons that would be able to help you out and answer questions.
