MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2012 Signups

Thought I'd toss this up a little bit earlier than last year; Yahoo opens its leagues up again this evening, so we might as well give ourselves plenty of time to sort everything out, especially since I'm hoping to convince you guys to try a more traditional Roto format.

But first thing's first: owners! We had 14 last year, which I think we should consider our ceiling. By my count around half of last year's owners are mortal locks to return, with several more extremely likely, so odds are we're looking at either 12 or 14. We should have plenty either way, so nobody should feel obligated. We should only need to actively "recruit" an extra owner if we end up with an odd number.

As a reminder, these leagues are open to any forum regular. Preference is always given to people who have played before, and if multiple people end up vying for a spot we tend to prefer giving it to the MoFo who's been around longer, is around more regularly, etc. But anyone can throw their hat into the ring and we'll do our best to fit in as many people as possible.

So, I'm in. That's one. Who else?

Ahhh, already looking forward to spring training, not too far off!!

I'm definitely in!

Finally! Yeah Im in and have been ready for this since I traded away Ray Rice. Ive a buddy at work who's also a FB friend that wants in if we have an opening. Hes an experienced fantasy baseballer and a Red Sox fan, but I dont hold that against him.

In. Thinking of a new team name. Roids seem to be on the outs, may need something new and improved.

As always with MOFO and fantasy count me in. You run fun leagues.

Alrighty, everyone who's confirmed in this thread should have an invite in their email inbox. If you changed your address since last year, or just didn't get it for whatever reason, just drop me a PM with your new address and I'll send out another.

I tossed up a tentative format and draft time and all that, but as soon as we've gotten all (or even most) of the owners locked in I'll create a thread where we can hash all that out.

Clowns are in!

Totally up for Roto, as well...

Oh I see its already set to roto scoring, that's cool. One league is plenty for me.

Also, would be interested in the DVD to the champeen thingamajiggy for what its worth.

what is roto-scoring?

Way I understand it is. You accumulate stats all year long and move up and down the standings that way. There are no head-to-head matchups. So you compare and contrast your team against the league and you try to improve in areas the same way you normally would

Aye. I wrote some stuff up about it last year; here's a decent summary of how it works. In short: less week-to-week drama, but it's way fairer, every game counts equally, and what it loses in artificial drama it makes up in some of the crazy late-season deals that can result.

Here's Yahoo's summary of the format, too.

I need o make a request on the draft day. Could we move it from saturday to sunday? Ive a good feeling Ill have to work.

If not to late would like to join.

It's totally preliminary, so I don't mind. That said, we'd probably better let everyone else weigh in. How soon before that weekend will you know whether or not you do, in fact, have to work?
