MOBomberFan Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 It appears that fantaseh.ca is back up and running... is anyone interested in throwing down? I need some runners-up to witness my greatness.
Noeller Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah, they weren't sure that they were going to be running this year, but got the go-ahead just recently. I'm definitely in for one this year, if we can get people actually committed to it. People who will actually show up for the draft and stick around all season, too... MOBomberFan 1
Mike Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Life got in the way of me participating last year as I ended up taking on a bunch of stuff that really tied me up but I'd be interested this year. Noeller and MOBomberFan 2
bearpants Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Count me in... would this be a legitimate fantasy league where you pick a team and stick with it or is it like TSN's where you change up your team every week using a salary cap?

Legit. 8 teams, live fantasy draft, you stick with your roster but can add/drop players and make trades. There's a ratio, individual defensive players, the whole deal. It's pretty much the best thing anyone can do with their time. Noeller and Adrenaline_x 2
bearpants Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Sounds good... I'm in (unless the draft date/time doesn't work for some reason)... I have this thing called a "wedding" coming up in about 5 weeks and I have a feeling my future wife will make me prioritize that over this draft... I'm starting to reconsider all of my life decisions...
Noeller Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 It somehow manages to make the CFL season even more fun by giving you additional reason to follow every team (to see how your players are doing), but honestly the most fun thing is the draft itself. It's a lot of fun to go back and forth about picks. The only downside is listening to Mike tell everyone how he can't believe Ottawa LB recruit ____________ _____________ outta NCAA Div 6 was still available in the 9th round of the draft (ERMAGHERD YER GERS!!11!!!)

I have this thing called a "wedding" coming up in about 5 weeks and I have a feeling my future wife will make me prioritize that over this draft... I'm starting to reconsider all of my life decisions... There was actually an episode of The League in which they held their fantasy draft at a destination wedding the night before. Hijinx ensued, the crew was chased around a hotel by JJ Watt, and the would-be bride was blinded by sperm. So if I've learned anything it's that weddings and fantasy football do not mix. There's still time to cancel!
bearpants Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 She is aware of my NFL fantasy football obsession (I'm only in 2 leagues now, it's getting better)... so maybe I'll just keep the CFL one to myself...

You're just mad because your team probably would've been better off drafting dead guys last year, Ottawa style. STEAL OF THE DRAFT COMING UP RIGHT HERE (I already have mine for this year)

Noeller Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 ^^ I've held a very serious and bitter grudge over this for the last year....
WBBFanWest Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I'll try again this year. Hopefully life is more cooperative this go around. Edited May 31, 2016 by WBBFanWest cause I can't spell

Hey I at least made a ranked list for it to work off of so in essence it was kind of my picking, except it ****** me over on the Canadians a bit. I'd also like to point out that we moved the draft to a day that didn't work for me to cater to a guy who didn't even show up that day anyway.
17to85 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Either way I'm in and I'm going to finish in 2nd place like I have in every ******* fantasy thing I've done the last few years.
MOBomberFan Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Posted May 31, 2016 Right on. I've created the league. I made sure to set the ratio requirements prior to the draft, so if someone is forced into auto draft for whatever reason it should consider the Canadian count (I seem to recall the ratio getting adjusted after the draft, which may be why 17 got boned) When I'm back in front of my pc I'll start sending out some pm's. There is no cost involved but I may spring the $5 to get live stats. MOBomberFan Noeller BearPants 17to85 THE Mike (I'm simply a Mike) JPan85 WBBFanWest Possibly BigBlue204 That would make 8. Is anyone else interested if someone can't make the draft? Or if thee is enough interest there could be a 2nd league. Noeller 1
Sard Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 New poster, but long time reader of the forum... I'd be interested in participating if there is room and if I can make the draft.

It's just the limitations of automating it, when you're sitting there yourself and you see a decent Canadians available you make the call to draft him over someone you might have rated higher but don't need as badly as you need a good canadian. Thankfully with 9 teams in the CFL there are a lot more options to fix things after a draft. It was a lot harder when you did these drafts with 8 CFL teams and 8 fantasy teams.
