HF Jets Fantasy Hockey League 2012-13 (ESPN Keeper) Season 1

I would add shots back same as you had it last year. and also add Hat Tricks for 10 points. Teams should get a big bonus when there guy plays great.
I think someone else made this last year, but they weren't very active on the boards and there were inactive teams all season. Decided to abandon that and make this one.
I added 5 points for the hat trick, I felt 10 might be a bit much since they're already getting 9 points for the goals haha. Should be a nice little bonus. I also added 0.1 for shots like the manager had last year and a point for a short-handed assist. I'll add those to the original post and maybe have a look again later.
You pick in the opposite/reciprocal spot every other round. For example, if you pick 1st in round one, you'll pick last in round two, but then 1st again in round three and so on and so on.
Draft order switches every round. If you draft 1st in the 1st round, you draft last in the 2nd round. If you draft last, you'll draft 1st the next round.
Some dude on Yahoo Answers probably says it better than I can.

It's a draft where the positions flip flop every round. For example, if someone drafts first during the very first round, they'll draft last the following round, then they'll draft first again in the next round, and so on. This type of draft is the most fair.

So you can have three extra forwards in any postition? Also what is a utility?
And I actualy like picking in the middle in Fantasy drafts. Sure you don't get Malkin, but you tend to get two really good players.
Yep, 3 extra forwards in any position. A utility player can be a forward or defenceman.
How does everyone feel about the draft date? I have received a PM saying someone is not available for that date and time. So, when is everyone available near to that date? I can change to any time and any date. I will have to wait until I get home to check on everything.
Ive never done one of these before, so if anyone has any tips and tricks on how to organize for a draft it would be appreciated.
I believe you only get a minute per pick so you'd best organize the list provided on that site before it starts. My impression (from reading that site without ever participating before) is that the list is key to your drafting. Otherwise, just keep in mind how you're filling up each position as you go.
I've never been in this type of pool before, either. Looks pretty cool.
Dumb question - as a minimum, do you basically have to post your 16 starters every day? And you only get the points those 16 guys produce that night?
So, if the whole league is playing on a Saturday, you'd potentially have 4 guys not dressed that are actually playing that night, so you have to kinda pick the 4 guys you want to sit out that might be least likely to garner any points for you that night?
And, if you don't do anything on a given day, does your previous roster just continue on?

This is a bit different from the day-to-day leagues (like default Yahoo Fantasy Hockey). You will set a weekly roster (you can set your roster for the upcoming week whenever if I remember correctly).
So your bench players will sit out the week, so you'd have to pick 4 that you think aren't going to do well that week. Obviously this backfires sometimes (******* Clarke McArthur last year for me, hot streak he's benched and cold streak he's in the lineup ).
It's a head to head league, so every week you are up against another team. Whoever puts up the most total points that week wins the matchup.
Your previous roster will keep going forever until you change it. That becomes a problem if people get injured and you have 4 guys on your roster who aren't playing. That's normally how you figure out who is inactive!

That's how it was last season right?
If I'm reading this right, according to the settings for this new one it's daily lineup changes not weekly:
Quote:
Lineup Changes
Daily - Lock Individually at Scheduled Gametime
I don't know if you just hit the wrong one or if you can even change it at this point, though.
How do I send a pm again? I've played lots of fantasy before and I think it would kick ass tiger back into it. Already have a keeper football league I've been in for the last several years. I might even have a decent shot!
