I say before the regular season starts we create a little FWR hockey pool??????, would you guys be interested, we can donate some prizes for the winner???
-
I'm in......
-
Count me in as well.
-
me too!!
-
i'm in
-
hahaahh, crappie fishing was not up to par, Lets get some ideas on how to organize this one?
-
i wouldnt mind some info.. i am interested..
-
Glad to see we have a few people who are interested. I propose that everyone puts in some sort of fishing related prize ~$10
-
maybe Rod will give away a new subscription or a refund on a previou subscription...
-
Count me in I have run pools in the past Hockey draft .ca is a good free pool where your stats are updated daily . I would be interested in helping getting it set up .
-
Maybe but I have all the Leaf players. ;D ;D
O, I just remembered no one else would want them anyway. ;D ;D

I wouldn't mind some of the make beliefs on my team if we were playing in the dynasty or carry over league. Everyone knows that the potential is there and that once they get traded to other teams for injury prone 60 year olds I'll be laughing.
-
So have we finialized any details yet? When are we having a draft, before preseason or after? What type of league are we doing, one season, carryover, dynasty? and what sort of scoring system are we going to use?
-
Yes someone like rod should set it up on office pools .com and have a live draft in the chat room
-
well then everyone would have to be subscribers unless Rod wants to open the gates for a one night draft...
i say we pick after the pre season and everyone puts in5 bucks towards the winner getting a FWR subsciption paid for... or free renewal..(if thats ok with Rod)
and we have to send in a 10 fishing item.....so be it weights ..a drennan or otherthings.... what do you guys say....
-
sounds good, Lets do it!
-
What ever it is, I'm in!! Just let me know when and where!! ;) :)
-
I'd personally be more stoked on everyone putting some sort of fishing related prize into a pool. It would definitly be a good way to share something something fishing related. For example, if someone makes some wicked roe then they could submit that. I personally tie some pretty awsome chronies which I wouldn't mind submitting. etc etc.
As for pools, I can set up a free yahoo pool We'll just have to get everyone to register and be around for a draft date. I personally would like to hold the draft before the pre-season mostly b/c it involves more skill to be able to draft quality players without having seen them and their linemates perform.
-
I think that I may be able to come up with some awesome new Floats!! ;)
-
sure sounds good... i dont make anything by home at all... so i would most likely get some hooks or some floats .... but yah.. i am in for sure... sounds cool...
do we need to register with yahoo for this...
-
Alrighty lets do it, lets start finalizing some rules, In order to enter you must submit some sort of fishing related item, whether it is, Hooks, floats, flies, leader, ect. Now for the draft date. What days cant you guys do it????
-
I am in. Why dont we set one up on Yahoo? I could set it up as I have been running a couple of the for quite a few years on yahoo. Just let me know and I will set it up. We can do a live draft on Yahoo one night, its a live draft right on the site. Just need to setup a time.
-
just give me plenty of notice.. and after 10 pm is preferred.... we can all go in a chatroom in yahoo and do our draft....
lets also work out the rules... do we pick three forwards and 2 defenders...
Another way i have done it is by comming up with a player roster and we have to pick from the roster...
not sure how we decide who goes first.. maybe we should all get together for a few brews at a pub and go from there... hmmm... your thoughts boys and gals..
-
Dont need to go into a chatroom on Yahoo. The Yahoo fantasy leagues have their own live draft right from the leagues website. It has all the players available and you just pick the player you want from the menu when its your turn.
-
Sounds good... let me know when :) and i will come up with a selection of Rod's spinners and some jigs
-
I'll set up a league on Yahoo tonight and pass on the link to join. Everyone that wants to compete please use your FWR username so we know who has joined.
-
I've ran pools in the past as well. What scoring system are we going to use? I personally prefer offence orientated leagues. More fun, plus I don't have to spend as much time crunching save %'s, +/-'s and pims.
-
We will probably starting only 1 goaltender but I will check the preferences before making the league official
-
I'm with Biff on this one!! More offense the better!! Keep it simple! ;) :)
-
I'll keep it as simple as I can you simpletons :D ;)
-
OK the league is set.
League name is: Fishing with Rod
Password is:fwr
Go to the following link: http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/
Click Get Team
Click Join Existing Custom or Public League
Click Join a Custom League
Than enter in league name and password. I made it a 12 team league so hurry and get in on it. Also the draft date is Feb 12th at 8:45PM which was the latest time I could get on the league. Go to the league page about 30mins prior to the draft and click on launch draft.
Good Luck
-
Forgot to mention one more thing. People that dont have a yahoo account need to get one first. Its free and simple. Just sign up and get your free yahoo e-mail account than follow the rest of the instructions
-
Whats the league id number?
-
Feb 12th Draft Date???
-
And ditto on the league id and Password.
I used Fishing with Rod for the league Id and fwr for the password. It said that the Name was wrong and the password was wrong. ???
-
ID# 36259
password fwr
-
OK I Signied up as Big Steel's Bruisers!! Now what? ;D
-
We wait untill the draft than let the smack talk start ;D
-
So how do I get into the draft day, and is the draft really Feb 12!! That's doesn't make any sense!! ;D ;D
Nevermind, I noticed that the DRAFT IS ON SEPT 12!! ;D
-
I was very tired yesterday. Yes September 12th sorry.
-
hmmm...I was thinkin' on joinin' up....but will be toonin' on the 12th....oh well...is always next year...good luck all you predictors.....hope yer picks stand up......hehehe
mojo left out an R somewheres... ::)
-
Mojo, why don't you custom rate players so that you don't need to be around on draft day?
-
Oh ya, I just registered so you guys might as well just give your prizes to me right now. Oh ya, as you might have figured out from my team name, I play dirty. :D
-
OK their are two teams that do not have their FWR nickname in them. You MUST have your nickname in your team name so we know who everyone is. We dont want outsiders getting into the league. This is the only way to prevent that. You can change your team name in your controls.
Log in using your yahoo ID than you will be logged in. On the day of the draft a link will appear on the league site where you click it and it will bring you into the draft.
-
I created mine!!,
-
id and pass aint workin for me... :-\
-
I got a question, and maybe a stupid one!! How many players are we drafting and how many goalies? I am trying to rank my team right now!! :)
Coho Cody, have you gtton in yet? The ID(36259) should work, and the password is fwr. Remember, you have to have an account with Yahoo. :)
-
Signed up, get ready for some @$$woopin!
-
ahhh still wont work >:(
-
I was italian magic i changed my name now.. so what happends is at 8 45 on tuesday you log in and the draft will just start who pics first and what ever....
-
I will change my team name back to the hanson brothers after the draft has been completed.
-
Lets talk prizes. I'm going to put a half dozen of my chronies on the line. I'm a little short on blades so maybe big steel would like to submit some of those. :D
-
Ill donate A couple Blades and an 11$ balsa wood float!
-
I'll put in like 10 bux.. :P
-
Maybe Chris should donate a Maple leaf drennan. I here they work great during steelhead season ;D ;D .
-
Lets get this going. Only a couple more teams needed. Just show up a bit early for the draft and on the main league page a link will appear to enter the draft. The draft order is random.
-

Like I said, I am donating some SWEET floats!! Go to the other thread to hear a bit more!! ;D
-
i'll through in 10 $ as well ::)
-
Maybe we can convince starrynite to come join in our pool. There is no one I would like to beat more than that know-it all.
-
Well Ive got my team in there now. ;D
Oh ya, I'll just throw in a small G.Loomis tackle box.
-
any suggestions i cant get in!!!! :-[ :-[ :-[
-
Are you certain you are using the league id# not the league name?
-
Ok, so luckily i caught this just before draft date. I set up an account and got myself a team with an amazingly original name. Is everyone donating a prize worth ~$10? If so i'll do up a few Nice looking steelhead flies. Even if you don't fish them they're nice to look at. or i can donate a float like everyone else :P
-
Float Fest!!!!!!!!!
-
Give some steely flies Dion!!
-
Tonights draft night good luck to all your gonna need it with my drafting skills
-
Give some steely flies Dion!!
I'm gonna!!! Read back a page. But don't expect a bunch of them. I'm gonna tie REALLY NICE, and probably only 2. But considering i normally take over 30minutes a fly its worth it.
-
Tonights draft night good luck to all your gonna need it with my drafting skills
Yeah, and I have no idea whatsoever what I am doing!! So it should be fun for all!! ;D I would say good luck to everyone, but it seems as though I am the one that will need it. I still have no idea if you can select your own payers, or it it does it automayically one what you have pre-selected. Or how many players( goalies, forwards od d-fence) I have asked a couple times, but no one wants to answer me!! ???
Anyhow whatever.
-
i think were all in the same boat ;D
-
I finally found the rules for the Live Draft!! I am in the room now and have read the rules!! I think I am good to go now with a couple of tricks up my sleeve!! ::) :o ;D
-
Its funny cuz Biff has probably done the most research and thought and he got last pick. I'm sitting in 6th seat. good luck to all, you'll need it!!!! ;D
-
I am at number 3!! So I should get one of the top player I would like!! ;D
-
When do I pick ??? ??? ???
-
Look at the flags on top of the draft page, that will tell you the order!! I think you will be pleasantly surprised!! ;D
-
ahahahaha IM 2nd last BULL@##
-
How does one use the chat function? :)
-
For those of you whom haven't done any research yet....
http://thescore.ca/top500/top500.pdf (http://thescore.ca/top500/top500.pdf)
-
Having problems getting in. Must be my computer....
-
OK league settings have been fixed. You do not get one point per save any longer.
-
Wow .... my team is stacked !!!! I predict a landslide victory for the THUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
So is SOG Shoot Out Goal or Shot On Goal?
It's shots on goal. Thats kinda lame.
-
Players get points for shots on goal. Not lame at all. I have always played with this stat in every hockey league I have been involved with. Should have read these things before the draft.....
-
so not even your starting goalie gets one point per save
-
Now that the dust has settled, who do you guys think has the best team? I'm playing fairly high risk/reward with my team. A lot of second year players who are primed to break out.
-
To be honest everybodies team except Roekids and Big Steels looks good!! Roekid made some terrible choices :)
and Bigsteel is loaded with second and third line players.. anyone can win this thing now except for the two mentioned above ;D ;D.. it depends on good weekly management and a lot of luck !!!
-
I agree that we should be taking into account shots, however, I feel as though we should scale down the points for shooting ie one pt every 10 shots rather than a point per shot as it is.
-
Sorry Dave, but even IF Zherdev was playing in the NHL this season there is still no way I would trade Williams for him.
-
MY TEAMS TAKING IT HOME.!!!
-
Sorry Dave, but even IF Zherdev was playing in the NHL this season there is still no way I would trade Williams for him.
Yeah, I noticed that one a bit late!! ;D
But I am in the same boat as Biff!! High risk, but high reward as he put it!! I know that some of my picks were high risk, but I am going on who they are playing with now, and what team they are on now. I dropped a couple of duds, so we'll see what happens. But yeah, I don't really like my chances, my risks had better pay off!! ;D
-
I missed the draft but it seems like I have an alright team ;D
hehe...Joe T. ;D
-
As you have all seen, I have made some waiver moves, and I will be open to some offers.
STB, you have proposed some crap to me. Come back with something better next time. I am not giving up Naslund and Svatos for Havlat and that other ball of lead!! :o ::)

Not yet. I have to do more research before I make a decision like that. Here is a trade for you. I'll take Ovechkin and I will give you 1 bag of pucks and we'll call it even. :D

-
i agree with biff. One shot on goal should not be worth the same as on assist or half a goal. Also, does a shutout count for a 10pt + the win (5pt)?
Big Steel you really hate your team i see. tryin' to trade with everyone.
-
Roe Kid, you got a trade proposed by me.
-
Seems you guys like my team ;D , I have gotta about 10 proposals ;D.
-
Seems you guys like my team ;D , I have gotta about 10 proposals ;D.
Not true they just thnk you will take a crappy trade :D Just like that Prucha-Bertuzzi trade. Bertuzzi will probably play with Jokinnen and get a bunch of points...
-
bryan: can you make shots on goal worth .1pt ?
-
Eddie99 I have proposed a trade
-
What does it mean when trade is pending? Perhaps that the trade is waiting for everyone to vote on it?
PS, I think that the Prucha/Bert trade is a good one for bith, that is why I offered it! Prucha is one of the players I ddn't really want to let go, he is going to have a great year. But I wanted to take the chance on Bert and see which Bert actually shows up!! ;)
-
Their is 2 days before a trade goes through to allow owners to vote. If nobody votes the deal goes through. If more people vote to veto the trade than the trade gets vetoed. It is put in place to stop collusion.
-
how many need to vote to veto a trade?
-
It could also stop a trade that has the other teams worried about there chances. ;D But come on, I had to pull the trigger. I ain't got much, figured I would take the chance on Bert! :)
BTW: Malkin might be on the block if the price is right!! If you want this soon to be Superstar, let's see what you got!! ;D
-

There was more to this trade than just the trade ;) Also BS offfered me Malkin for spezza, ahahah YA RIGHT
-
IH8XC another trade offer coming at you!! ;D
-
Thats a tough one. HMMMMMM. Although i have 5 centres already. HHMMMMMMMMMM i'll sleep on it.
-
I may throw in another D-man as well!! ;)
-
I just calculated the projections for your starters. Keep in mind these are point totals only. So no goalies. Looks like we came out pretty close after drafting, however, in the end it all comes down to who's the best manager.
STB 869
LIL fisherman 818
Got fish 808
IHXC 781
Roe Kid 839
biffchan 913
Big Steel 865
Thick Rick 873
Birdman 831
Eddie 926
-
Thats not a fair projection considering my first pick was a goalie and you didn't include that.
-
I would never choose a goalie with my first or 2nd round pick. As long as you have a goalie that is a top 10 goalie you will be fine. As far as how to manage your team, I am not giving away any strategies.
-
Also Malkin didn't play last year, and my players had some injuries last year. Like Brierre, Jovo and a few others. I feel that it should be a good one though!! We'll have to see how it works out. I am open to somes trades if anyone is looking!! Still an area or 2 I would like to address!! ;D
-
At this time I would like to say that Eddie STILL hasn't done anything about the shot scoring.
I would also like to make it known that when the league was originally set up goals and assists were worth the same amount. This is something that I took into account when I did my pre-draft scouting. Yet after we all drafted Eddie goes behind our backs and then sets its up so that golas are worth 2pts and assists worth 1. I don't have a problem with this scoring system provided that it was the one we were initially going to be using, however, this completly screws some of us over. Especially those of us who did extensive research and calcualtions going into this! >:(
-
I have to agree with Biff!! 2 points for a goal and one for an assist is all well and good, but that is not going to work and be fair for everyone. I am probably shooting myself in the foot, considering that I have a lot of goals scrorers and not that many assist men. :-\ But, I feel that that should have been voted on. I know there was mention of things like this on the Hockey home page as well. That one should be voted on, at least noone will feel that they are getting the short end of the stick!! :)
-
It was always 2 points for a goal smartass. Don't call me out if you don't have the facts. The one point per shot was also always in place. I did everyone a favor by setting this up and this is the thanks I get. Pretty ungrateful their Biff.....

Here's a better idea. Next time you try to call me down you look up the facts first. Straight from the recent trasactions page.
Sep 13 1:00am G points changed from '1' to '2'
-
Busted ;D, Lets just keep the same rules that we did before the draft, So its fair and I took spezza and he gets 100 assits and 2 goals.

Sep 13 1:00am G points changed from '1' to '2'
Originally it was 2. After the draft I was messing around with the numbers to fix the goalie saves and the goal category changed to one point as everything got put back tp the preset numbers. Not that I really needed to give an explanation as I NEVER lie....
I thought you were in leagues before? If you have you would know these are standard across the board....
-
************
-
All well and good Eddie, but I think what everyone is trying to say, is that we think that the 2 pts for a goal sucks for a lot of people. Also, that rule was not made clear pre draft. I think that rule will help me, but I don't like it, and if you look at your team, you are stacked with a ton of goal scorers, and this rule would help you out A LOT. I think that it should be 1 pt for a goal and 1 pt for an assist. I have never done a draft any other way and it just doesn't seem right. Please change it back to 1 and 1 for goals and assists. Really, if enough people want it that way, you don't have a choice. ;)
-
I am not changing it back. Dont you think that is the reason I drafted those players? I had 2 points per goal from the begining otherwise I would have drafted differently. If you guys are just going to sit here and call me a liar than just go and find another league. I dont need to sit here and be insulted. Everyone is being very ungrateful and it really puts a damper on the entire experience. Like I said I never lie I teach my kids the same. I have no reason to lie as I dont care if I win or lose. I play in these leagues for the fun and right now it is turning into more of a headache than fun. Oh and just to clear it up RICK, when I tried to change the goalie shots against it reset ALL categories and that will NOT show in the transactions!!!!
BTW I tried to change the shots but the only thing it will allow me to do is give half points and I am not going to make it half points.
-
************
-
You will change it back or you will be playing by yourself !!
Ditto!
-
Go ahead and quit than. I am in other leagues as well and dont need this headache. I wont sit here and insult you either and lower myself to your maturity level.
-
*********
-
Dude you got busted lying.. be a man and admit it !!!
do the right thing and change it back
Again calling me a liar, glad you know me. I am done as I dont need to take that garbage from anyone.
-
Wow wat a load of my smelly socks. You guys are all too pumped full of testosterone. Really there is no money on the line, just fishing related stuff. ITS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. everyone should just take a chill pill.

Like I said, the 2 pts for a goal would help me out as well, but if you don't care about winning, why are you being so stubborn about changing it back. I don't think anyone is being immature, just asking about a vailid concern.
PS, I was very nice about the way I put it across, if anything I said is immature, well then so be it and get over it. If that is the worse thing that anyone ever says to you, then you will be a lucky man. No need to run from a valid concern, you are the league commisioner Eddie. It is your responsibility to look after matters. What would be so hard about calling for a vote. That is fair, if the rule stands then it stands, if it doesn't then it doesn't. Seems pretty simple to me.

I never said you were the one being immature it is Rick. He is calling me a liar and I wont stand for that since I never lied. I will put it to one point but if I do I am going to lock out Rick from the league unless I get a formal apology.
-
**********
-
explain to all of us how it changed from one point to two then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you changed it and now you are saying you didn't that is a lie
what is your definition of a lie Brian???
you said it was always like that but more than one of us saw that it wasn't ... did a ghost change it?????
I call it as I see it....
Well call it as you see it but I already explained it. Cant you read? I see you started your own league anyways so I guess I will lock you out and change it to 1 point for everyone else since they were not being immature like you have been.
-
OK the goals has now been changed from 2points to 1point and Rick has been locked out.
-
haahha, Yeah lets start new league and new draft. What is it?
-
I was afraid this was going to happen. come on guys letws just keep it like it was and maybe have a majority rules vote? Lets be civil and not be a bunch of crybabys starting new leagues and kicking people out. This reminds me of my Grade 2 brother and all hsi friends
All Rick has to do is apologize its not that difficult. When everyone wanted me to change the saves category I did it. As far as the shots on goal for players go I have no control over it unless I remove it which is something I would do if everyone agreed to. I already switched the goals from being 2points to 1point but locked Rick out since he has not apologized.
-
well the other league the shots on goal ar worth 1/2 a point come and join
-
********
-
;D
-
That's a good compromise!! ;)
-
I am choosing not to participate in the new league or the old league until everyone comes to a decision. Half the guys are going to stick with eddie and a bunch will move on. We don't have enough peope for 2 leagues. And seriously what do we have to lose, Eddie changed the rules back, and if you lose itt'l cost you what? maybe a few flys, a few spinners or a float? Big whoop.
Exactly. I drafted knowing the points for goals was worth 2 points and I still changed it to 1 point since thats what everyone else thought it was. Like I said in a previous post the stats got reset to 1 point when I was messing around with them. I never lied and if more people looked at it when it was 1 point than I guess thats the way they drafted and I accept that. I just want to play and I dont care if I win.
Now for those that choose to participate in this league lets vote on whether to scrap the shots on goal completely or change it to .5 point per shot or even .25point per shot which means you will get 1 point for every 2 shots or 1 point per 4 shots.

There is nothing stopping you from being a part of both leagues
you are more than welcome if you want to join
-
Rick I never lied and I wish you would get that. I said it got reset which is something that just happened. I initially set it to 2 points and that was my intention from the begining to have it at.
I pride myself on not being a liar, I also pride myself on being a stand up person. If you actually knew me you would know I am not that way at all.
-
.25 for a shot for me!! ;)

K Brian .. you are right, I am over reacting !! it is not a big deal and I appologize for calling you a liar... I know what I saw and I know that it changed and it bugged me... I have thought about it and I reaalize that it is not worth arguing about....

I know what you saw as well since I see the same thing on the transaction board. It just was no reason to call me a liar especially on a public forum. All you had to do was PM me and let me explain.
I will now unlock you.

Rick I never lied and I wish you would get that. I said it got reset which is something that just happened. I initially set it to 2 points and that was my intention from the begining to have it at.
I pride myself on not being a liar, I also pride myself on being a stand up person. If you actually knew me you would know I am not that way at all.
Just let him back in Brain, I want to kick his my friend for all of his big talk!! ;D ;D You made a mistake, and it could be the most honest of mistakes, but..... That is how this whole thing got started, when people noticed that it wasn't what it had been. Now let's all stop this and concentrate on out witting each other and team management.
Personally, knowing about this type of pool now, I am going to have just as much fun being in 2 Leagues. There is now reason not to have fun in a couple. Now let's bury the hatchet. ;)
Now that you are back in are you going to accept my trade or not Rick!! ;D
-
Now before doing this I am just going to check. I am just going to check if the shots can be changed to .25 so dont be alarmed when you see these changed on the transaction board. I am just checking on it before we vote.
-
so wats goin on now ;D
-
Yeah I saw that no worrries. Now on another note. Don't kybosh my trades pending!!! ;D ;D I get these and I am done. That doesn't mean that I won't be open to offers though!! ;D
-
I'm gonna join both leagues. So i guess i'll be tying a few more flies lol. I am happy with .25pts per shot.

After re-reading this thread, going to the gym, eating dinner and then letting it all sink in here is what I have to say:
First off, I feel that it is silly to have to different pools. It does nothing but divide us further which isn't good in the least. That said, I would still participate in a second league, however, I just think one makes more sense.
At this point I'm still not entirley sure what went on. Obviously me and Eddie both have different ideas on what happened. I'm sure that I saw goals and assisits being both worth one point initially. Actually when I first I saw this I thought it looked somewhat funny but didn't say anything. Think about it, why would I pick Lidstrom 10th overall? Anyways, whatever happened we need to find a solution to this problem that works for everyone. After the time/work we put into the original draft, I think its silly to bother re-drafting. If we leave goals as 2pts then it benefits only Eddie, as from this thread he was apparently the only person who counted on this type on scoring system. If we drop goals down to one point it puts Eddie at a disadvantage which isn't really fair as he did set it all up and next to me he probably put in the most time doing research. I have two solutions to this. Either 1.) we keep goals at 2pts but drop the shooting stats this way it still gives Eddie his original edge, however, it does not so strongly effect us who did not draft goal stories. 2.) We just drop this pool and create a new one with a level playing field.

Biff everything is already looked after and it didn't take one of your ideas to do it!! One question though, you had just said that it was silly to bother re-drafting, then at the end you said create a new league with a level playing field!! Would this not mean re-drafting? ;D
We are going to do both leagues, and a lot of us like the idea of a different league with a different turn on it. It is up to you whether or not you want to join a second one. For myself, I am looking forward to drafting again. Had a blast the first time and I am having a blast building my team right now. Let's just say I have put a ton of research into this the last couple nights and I am leaving no stone unturned in an effort to get the best team that I can. ;)

As I said I dont care if I win or lose. I'll take it as a challenge instead. No biggie to me.

Go to the other thread, we have another one you can join! The draft is set for Monday. :)
