USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

Bump to the top

For the keeper league, I think it is something that we can try to do for next year, I don't think I could get it all sorted out for this season. We can work out the details throughout the season and we won't be rushed.

So far these posters have signed up:

Shirtless Guy
FieldHouseFaithful
FiveHole12
pgrass01
Zudnic
techtodenver
GoUNH
FlagDUDE08
UNHSince1969
Chuck Schwartz

Given the available dates that I have seen, and hoping that we get more to sign up, I'm hoping to have 3 leagues, one drafting on Sept. 27th, another on Oct. 1st and the last on Oct. 4th. I am still working out how to fit people in those leagues, and since we only have 12 owners now, we'd have to get 6 more to make 3 leagues viable, preferable 9-12 more.

it is a points thing throughout the regular season which is basically just for seeding and then playoffs has been head to head.

Gotcha. I like that style.

I would be in, but I have school Mon-Thurs nights, which unfortunately was every draft day listed. If we could have a draft on a Friday or Saturday, I would be in.

There has been some interest in having a draft day on Friday, October 5th, which cuts it close with the start of the season, but we should be able to get it to work. You may as well fill out the sign up form, and select "other" for draft days and write in the days that work. I will do what I can to make it work for you.

Thanks. I'll do that.
 
Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

If anyone else is OK with drafting on Friday, October 5th, please post it here. It wasn't an original option on the form, but there have been a few requests for it, and I would like to involve as many people as possible. I started putting owners into leagues, based on draft days, and it looks like I'll be able to do it on three days, and that would only make it so one person can't make the draft. As of now, I'm hoping that the draft days will be Thursday, Sept. 27th, Thursday Oct. 4th and Friday Oct. 5th, so for those who are yet to sign up, if possible, select at least one of those days.

Would there be any interest in doing a "keeper" FCH league? You'd keep your players throughout their 4 years of eligability, and it would add quite a bit more strategery, trying to balance your team with upperclassmen that will score big this year, but drafting enough freshmen and sophomores that you're set for the future. Also, trying to draft players that are more likely to stay 3 or 4 years, and not getting stuck with a few 1 and dones.

This would be SPECTACULAR. What a creative idea. If you decide to do it, let me know.
 
Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

We've gotten a few more people signed up. Right now I have 17, but we won't be able to split it into 3 draft groups and accommodate all 17, so I'll have to figure something out there.

Reminder, if any one that has already signed up is able to draft on Friday, October 5th, which wasn't an original option on the form, let me know.

Lastly, if there is anyone that wants to run the draft on September 27th, also let me know. I'll be at a concert that night, so I won't be able to run it. It will be quite simple, since we're just using a google spreadsheet, as long as everyone shows up that is supposed to.
 
Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

Anything set for drafting yet?
Where's SteveF? He usually does FCH.
I'm going to post at the old thread in case some of last years crew subscribed to that thread and are missing this thread.

We're still a little short. I can set it up so we have enough for this Thursday's draft, but we'll need some more for next week, or go with smaller leagues. I am about ready to set the draft for this week, and I still need someone to volunteer to administer it, because I'll be at a concert. I can walk that person through it and get them the contact info for the people in the league.
 
Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

I wouldn't feel very comfortable administering.
Besides, having been close two years running now, I would welcome a shot at taking your team down this season. ;)
 
Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

bigblue_dl, I just realised that this Thursday is not going to be good for me (at least 8PM ET), as I have another commitment. However, I am willing to do next week.

Ok he said he's all registered. You think you could put him in the same league as me?

Yeah, I'll be able to do that. I'm going to sort the leagues out a bit more now, and try to post the list of people drafting this week.
 
Re: USCHO Fantasy College Hockey: Season 11

OK, everyone, I have a few things:

1. I think I have the league set to draft on Thursday this week set, the only way it will change is if anyone has any schedule problems. Here is what I have for the USCHO1 league, to draft on Thursday Sept. 27th:

Zudnic
techtodenver
Chuck Schwartz
AdamBomber
Tipsy McStagger
GoUNH
FieldHouseFaithful

I will be sending out reminder emails to everyone on this list, in case some don't see this thread.

2. FieldHouseFaithful, you only selected Wednesday Sept. 26th as a date that you can draft. There were not enough people that selected that day to make a viable league. I added you to the Sept. 27th draft, hoping that you will be able to make it. If another day works better for you, let me know and I can add you to either the October 4th draft or the October 5th draft.

3. My goal is to have 8 teams per league, but we're a little short. This first league has 7, which is ok, as long as no-one backs out. For the other 2 leagues, we're currently at 6 teams in each of the other leagues. So if you know any other posters that would be interested, please spread the word.

4. I am currently planning on drafting in both of the leagues next week, with the expectation that we'll be short on people, then if someone wants to join late, they can take over one of my teams. With that said, here are the tentative plans for next weeks drafts:

USCHO2 - Thursday Oct. 4th
UNHSince1969
pgrass01
Shirtless Guy
thebleedenator
bigblue_dl
FlagDUDE08

USCHO3 - Friday, October 5th
hockeyplayer1015
Fighting Sioux23
bigblue_dl
Badgerdude4
FiveHole12
Something Brewing

FiveHole: You didn't select Oct. 5th as a day you can draft, but I slotted you there for now, if this doesn't work, I'll have to slide you over to Thursday.
Badgerdude4: You want to be in league with your friend, he didn't select the Friday draft, but you did, will the Friday draft work for both of you?

5. Here is the form that we will be using for drafting - Draft Form
This should be very easy to use. There are tabs to use for leagues with 6, 7, or 8 team leagues, just use the tabs marked with the correct amount of teams. Whoever administers the draft should simply enter the team names in the list on the side, in the correct draft order, which has yet to be determined. The form will auto-fill the names into the draft board. Everyone that is drafting should have that form open, and we will use the built-in chat feature that Google has. I believe that we won't be able to enter our team names into the chat feature, so when you make a pick, it should be in the format: bigblue_dl - Jason Zucker, F, Denver. Or, if people can be civil about it, I can turn the spreadsheet on for editing, and you can simply enter your picks directly in the spreadsheet when it is your turn. At that point, the picks will begin to populate the rosters on the other tab, so in the end there will be a complete list of all rosters.

6. I can run the 2 leagues next week, but I absolutely cannot do it this Thursday. I have a feeling that if we don't have someone as a set administrator, it will end up just being a mess, so if anyone on the list for Thursday wants to administer that draft, which really won't be too difficult, please let me know.

7. Lastly, for those of you that are new to FCH, I recommend doing some studying, put together a list of players, and have the list of players that left early handy. This will make the whole experience more enjoyable for you and everyone else.
