[JAG]

Again, Callous Dowboys will be back.

Also, because I had to dig for this info, here are the off-season trading rules we agreed to last season:


Off-Season Trade Rules
-Trades involving your current roster will be allowed as soon as the Championship game has been completed and until keepers are announced for the next season. The keeper announcement signifies the start of a new season.
-Players may be traded for players, draft picks, or players and picks.
-Any player received in a trade automatically becomes a keeper at their position for their new team.
-When becoming one of the teams keepers, the player will have one year of service counted against the limit.
-If a player is "unkeepable" (meaning he has already been kept 3 times by the same team), he is not allowed to be traded in the offseason.

[saldana]

me and my uber-craptastic team will be back

[spleen1015]

I'm coming back.

[Lathum]

Ok, Lets see who is returning as first order of business

I am in. Spleen, Jag, and Packerfanatic are also back based on their post in the 2011 thread.

I am assuming Johnny is still out. My wife was next in line for a team so unless anyone has issues with her being an owner she is in for his team.

Returning

1. Lathum- Lathums Brew Crew
2. Packerfanatic-Gridiron Warriors
3. Spleen- Touchdown Mafia
4. MollyMurphy ( pending approval)- Shakas Big Shooters
5. JAG- Callous Doughboys
6. Saldana-Sals Trangenders
7. samifan- The FOFC All Stars
8. Sterlingice-Houston Hippopotimi

Not returning-

CubBoyRoy
Eaglefan27
TLK
MikeVic


Alternates
1. CarmenBulldog
2. Danny
3. NTN Deacon
4. Grover

[ntndeacon]

I don't know how long the alternate list is, but go ahead and put me on it for whenever there are enough openings.

[samifan24]

I'm back

[PackerFanatic]

Definitely back - and I will come up with a different, probably just-as-craptastic, team name

[saldana]

i am thinking of going with "Sal's Supershittyworstbunchoffantasyplayersever"

[Lathum]

updated through Samifan with NTN deacon as an alternate

[Lathum]

bump for those we havrnt heard from.

I'll pm them soon if we dont hear from them

[claphamsa]

Sorry, guys- still caught up in the whole moving thing so I haven't been back to FOFC for a bit. I'll be back.

figured as much, hope the move went well

[sterlingice]

Yes, it turns out living in the same city as one's wife is a good thing

(I'm sure that will illicit no jokes)

Oh, and did I mention: weddings in Chicago and Omaha the next two weekends so no time to relax even, really.

[cubboyroy1826]

Sorry guys but I will not be back this year.

[Lathum]

I'll be leaving for a cruise tomorrow and when I get back we'll start nailing down replacement teams and the off season schedule unless TLK is coming back and wants to set it up sometime this week

[cubboyroy1826]

I know it is not all that much time but last year I really didn't stay active and work is twice as busy this year. I would rather have someone who is going to put in the time get a chance.

[Lathum]

OK, quick update. MikeVic and TLK are also out I am sad to report. We do have other people interested so no issues with filling the league. I am waiting to here back from EF27. Once we have owners in place we can start the offseason.

[Grover]

Throw me on the waiting list, Lathum!

[Danny]

I replied to your pm but I am interested in joining still

[sterlingice]

Wow- we're turning over like half the league

SI

[JAG]

Yeah, this is the most turnover I can recall for the league. We're going to need to get a post together with league rules for the benefit of the incoming teams and a post with current rosters too. This week is really bad for me at work (same with the first part of next week), but I'll try and help out with that if needed.

[Lathum]

I'm gonna do what I can.

EF27 also PMed me that he doesn't have time anymore. Bummed to see him go as well but I'm confident we will have active new owners. I really like this league and want to keep it together.

[MikeVic]

Thanks for having me in your league, it was fun! I'm just burnt out on fantasy sports in general so I'm dropping out of multiple leagues.

Ditto about keeping the league together. Last year was my first full season in the league. I think the competition level is pretty high. I would hate to lose a fun league like this.

[sterlingice]

I see how it is- I finally win and no one wants to stick around in a league that's so easy that even I can win it

SI

[Lathum]

OK- We have 4 spots to fill with 4 people showing interest. I am going to try and post rosters later tonight if I can.

I think the fair way to let people pick a team is in the order they showed interest once they confirm they are coming back. I am not counting molymurphy in this since it had already been determined she was in and what team she would have.

I am also going to post rules in the first post along with rosters and a schedule for the offseason.

[sterlingice]

I would like to propose a "keepers" tax. Anyone who was here last season gets a player from someone who is going to be here this season

SI

[Lathum]

ok, Grover and Danny are confirmend in.

Rosters from last year are up with owners/ available

[sterlingice]

Somewhere (previous thread?), we marked down all the players who could not be kept because of the 3rd year keeper provision, I believe.

SI

[Lathum]

Keeper Rules


Keeper Rules:
-The amount of years a player can be a keeper is limited to three.
-If a player is picked as a "rookie keeper", it's counts as the first year of his three.
-This number is reset if a player is moved in a trade.



Rule for offseason trades as adopted last year

Off-Season Trade Rules
-Trades involving your current roster will be allowed as soon as the Championship game has been completed and until keepers are announced for the next season. The keeper announcement signifies the start of a new season.
-Players may be traded for players, draft picks, or players and picks.
-Any player received in a trade automatically becomes a keeper at their position for their new team.
-When becoming one of the teams keepers, the player will have one year of service counted against the limit.
-If a player is "unkeepable" (meaning he has already been kept 3 times by the same team), he is not allowed to be traded in the offseason.

I don't have time right now but I am going to try and put something up tonight showing who has been previously kept and for how long. If someone else has time and wants to do it that is cool, just let me know so we don't do twice the work.

Also, once all teams are filled I'll post a schedule for off season activities. It will likely be the same exact as last years, worked out well, so think of any rules changes you may want to vote on.

[JAG]

Here's the info from last year Lathum. I don't have time to look at everything, but based on the rules we came up with last year, the people marked by (3) years kept, if they're on the same roster as last year, are not eligible to be kept or traded prior to declaring keepers (aka, they're free agents):

I wrote CarmanBulldog a while back and didn't hear from him. Going to give him a day or so and if I don't hear back fill that slot with someone else.

[Lathum]

Thanks for finding that JAG.

I know there were a few trades so that list will likely need to be revised

[JAG]

Going off memory, Brees/Brady and Calvin Johnson/Andre Johnson swapped teams, and you acquired Chris Johnson for a non-keeper, so all those players would have a full year towards their three year limit if kept (as I understand what we agreed to last season, meaning if kept this year they would be listed as (2) when the list of this year's keepers comes out). I think those were the only players who were kept last season that changed hands via trade (not sure if any were dropped / added by someone else).

[Julio Riddols]

I'd love to take a spot if there is one available.

[Lathum]

If I don't hear from Carman by tomorrow you are in

[Lathum]

OK, so regarding players you want to keep and their years of service I am going to leave each owner responsible from checking the above list to see eligibility.

I bring this up now because I want to make sure all the new owners understand how much time they will have a guy for when choosing a team. I also think it is only fair that you can change your protected list prior to the deadline in case there is some misunderstanding.

Reminder, you may keep one each of RB, QB, and WR and only one of each. you may also keep a rookie from last year for a total of 4 players.

Its been a really great league. I am shocked at all the attrition this year. I think we lost more people this year then the previous eight combined

[JAG]

Good work spleen, forgot about the Jones-Drew trade.

EDIT, so he and McCoy were keepers that were traded, so they fall under the same category as the other 5 I mentioned earlier.
