Sorry, we are officially full for this year.

And the draft order has arrived. It's a little late because Jojo is visiting me and so I was distracted, and so had her pick the teams out of a hat this year. Which was a mistake on my part because she hates me. She is making me tell you all that she apologizes for messing up and not picking me last, though I'm still pretty late in.

1.Vuvuleza Destroyers
2. ChocoboDragons
3. Milwaukee Monks
4. Oakland Enforcers
5. Bricksquad Killas
6. Zanarkand Abes
7. Los Banditos
8. Stephen Colberts
9. Sexy Rexy All Stars
10. Fighting Combatants
11. Carpieburgh Steelers
12. Australian Abes
13. Metal Bubble Slimes
14. Corduroy Killers

And apparently I can customize the draft order by round, which amusingly makes trading picks realistically possible.

[Del Murder]

Man, the first rounds of the draft become crucial with 14 teams. No room for mistakes. I wonder who the projected number 4 pick is.

EDIT: Forte? Hmm. Maybe I'll just get Manning.

[Cz]

Great, thanks Raist. Are we keeping the flex spot?

[Colonel Angus]

I find it funny that you guys think a 14 team league is rough. The other league I belong to usually has 20 teams, & the guy who runs it won't go under 16. A 14 team league sounds like a dream.

[Del Murder]

Anything over 14 teams is basically a flip of a coin.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

20! Holy cow. I play in a 10 and have played in a 12. 14 seems like a lot of teams to me. I can't imagine being in a 20 team league.

[Raistlin]

Great, thanks Raist. Are we keeping the flex spot?

I removed the flex position, as we are back to 14 teams, which is already pretty deep. The draft is 1 PM EST on the 31st, because that seemed to be the consensus. I'll also add a couple of the quirky defensive stats everyone seemed to like.

EDIT: Speaking of quirky defensive stats, here's what I currently have:

4th down stops: 2 points (basically a forced turnover, and a rarity anyway)
Tackles for loss: 0.25 points
Three-and-outs forced: 0.5 points

Defensive yards allowed:
Negative: 12 points
0-99: 6 points
100-199: 4 points
200-299: 2 points
300-399: 0 points
400-499: -2 points
500+: -4 points

I tried to make it so good defenses get a little boost, without going crazy. I might actually turn down tackles-for-loss to 0.2.

Awesome, thanks. I agree the league's probably deep enough without the extra spot. Those bonuses look pretty well-balanced to me - interesting to see how it works out!

I've always been tempted to do a crazy 20-team league, but the thought of some of the guys who'd be starting at RB2 is just too terrifying.

[Colonel Angus]

1pm Eastern, Raist?

[Raistlin]

Yes. The correct time for anyone else's timezone should be on the league main page.

[Del Murder]

I like the bonuses. I need to remember to make the draft since I'll be alone with the kids that day. Or maybe I'll just autodraft since I suck at NFL drafts.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

omg I am so stoked for this draft.

Time needs to hurry up.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I don't know if anyone else is showing this, but Yahoo! is telling me the draft is still going tomorrow at 10 A.M. Eastern time.

You get what you wish for.
