I think the forum idea is fine but we should probably get stuff going pretty soon. I'm not sure how long it will take to draft but the sooner we start the better.

[Eagles]

I think the forum idea is very good assuming two things.

1. We start the forum soonish
2. We don't have too many people up for bidding at the same time because it would create mass confusion.

[westside8]

The forum will definitely need to begin soon. And I think 3 days sounds reasonable for a player being up for auction. So are we going with the idea of auctioning the starting positions and doing a snake for the bench, or auction the whole way through?

Okay, so far we have me, Huskies, Eagles, Koloture, doughhater, bugstud, westside8, nopeak, SuperUberBob, sergsz, metsandfinsfan, shorty5553. Shorty is willing to be commish, so please try to start a foeum/league ASAP.

Also, I'm thinking buyin should be something like $300, with $100 of it held for the next year(to help prevent dropouts.)

Anyone not willing to play at that price please let us know now.

[westside8]

$300 is a bit steep for my pocket...

Here is what I got so far:

I need to give you access so you can post and what not.

The only thing I can't figure out how to do is to autolock the thread when no one has posted for 24 hours. I'm not sure if this is even possible with the forum service I'm using - Never really tried it before. If anyone knows more let me know.

[THAY3R]

Looks good, thanks for all the work!

I think we should add a MI, CI, one or 2 more OF, and maybe 1 or 2 more P spots.

Typical auction leagues I believe have 13(or 14 if 2 catcher) Hitters and 9 Pitchers.

Also, having a thread autolock isn't that big of a deal I don't think.

[Huskiez]

Sent Shorty a preliminary constitution which he is going to modify for our league and then post in the Rules section. It will obviously be subject to further discussion and modification. One issue to be resolved is minor league system (separate or on bench).

We're going to need everyone who said they were interested to stay active in this thread. If this league is going to do forum style, it's going to need to start soon...

At the moment, the cost of a team is $300, with $100 of that set aside for next year.

Here is a the link to see the constitution:

Also I'm trying to find a forum service that will let me upload MODS so I can add the auto-lock mod. Otherwise, we should really try to get things going (I'll have the forum stuff figured out in the next couple of days).

[doughhater]

I'm still in. Is there a password for the other forum?
