For those that want a free league to join, here is one

[JakeT.]

No money involved in this one. I've had some people express interest in fantasy football but they don't want to pour in money before they get a feel for it. I have created a league on Yahoo Sports which drafts this upcoming Sunday.

League Name: RXPracticeLeague
League Password: therx

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1

Live Draft Time: Sun Aug 19 8:30pm EDT

Check out how the league is scored if you get a chance. It will give you a better understanding of who you will want to draft.

Once again, this league is not for money; it's just for fun and a good way to give fantasy rookies a chance to learn a fun game.

Right now I set it up for 12 teams but can add more spots if we have interest.

Haha well we'd be happy to have ya. I'd try and join before Sunday though just to ensure you get a spot. It only takes a couple seconds to register if you already have a registered Yahoo username. If not, that's easy to create as well.

I've seen people with no knowledge of football, much less knowledge of fantasy football, win leagues from sheer luck so don't count anything out. It doesn't happen all the time but it definitely happens.

Dang, I just realized something, jakethompson.

I did joined this free league that you provided-- as it'd be fun to hang around with the RXers. Though, the live draft being Sunday the 19th at 8:30pm EDT--- I'm out as I'd be still at Las Vegas after the mini-bash (my flight is a red-eye one leaving Sunday night). I don't get back to the East Coast until Monday morning.

Would the live draft be done automatically for those who are absent based on "computerized settings"? I don't think I remember the 1 time I did Yahoo Fantasy Football years ago... 1999 or so. So I'm practically a rookie with Yahoo's settings. I play one fantasy league with friends/acquaintances with a live draft (live as in person, not online) so I want to know if I am screwed if I can't be online at 8:30pm EDT/5:30pm EDT this coming Sunday?

If so, I can delete my new team, "CalvinTy Ironbirds", and let the spot be taken by someone else. No biggie.

Yeah, the computer will pick for you. You can set your player rankings beforehand, so the computer will pick the highest available player on your list, instead of the default list.

good luck:toast:

 

[JakeT.]

LIke goodcall said, the computer can pick for you if you are absent. What I'd recommend is to rank your players before the draft so they are picked according to your rankings because sometimes Yahoo rankings are a little wacky. Good luck this year.
