"Messy Fantasy Football?"
Love you, too
Hi all. I created a Fantasy Football league in Yahoo Sports, just like last year. I made it a bit larger with room for 16 teams and tentatively set the draft date/time for Sunday, September 3rd at 12pm Pacific/3pm Eastern/8pm BST. I figured that would be an okay time no matter what time zone people are in.
I sent invites to everyone who already put in the thread that they wanted to join the league this year so check your inboxes. So far, I have sent invites to:
1. Poidog101
2. John Smith
3. Novagunger
4. BrightShirtGuy
5. Hooliham
6. WamNewbie
7. Messy_CA
8. Gunger_88
9. Dbl999
If you'd like to join too, either post below, or shoot me a message! We have room for 7 more right now, but could always expand!

Anyone have a guess as to how long the draft might take? I work weekends and am scheduled to work till 5est that Sunday. trying to figure out if I could possibly just schedule my lunch around it.
Trying to talk Bailey into playing too, but she's enjoying the fact that she'll get to deliver my forfeits and help scheme those for anyone I beat without risking herself at all lol

If we get all 16 teams playing, with each of us having 16 players to draft, and with what I currently set it to be 45 seconds per draft pick, that would be 16*16*45=11,520 seconds, or 192 minutes (3.2 hours). If we only end up being 12 teams like last year it'll be 12*16*45=8,640 seconds, or 144 minutes or 2.4 hours. If I lower the draft pick time to 30 seconds (with 12 teams), we could get it done in 12*16*40=5,760 seconds, or 96 minutes, or 1.6 hours. That is assuming everyone takes the full time for every draft pick. If anyone autodrafts, it'll be lower, as well as if people don't take their full time allotment.
I would be interested in joining if it doesn't set the number of teams off. I've been looking for a new league since moving up north and this seems like it would be a win-win (get messy, and dominate at fantasy football)
If there is room I would like to join
I would like to join as well
Hey all! Just a reminder that this Sunday is our draft day! Note that if you're not able to make it to draft day, you can prerank your preferences (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/autopick-draft-sln6163.html) and the computer will auto pick for you according to your indicated preferences.
Also, if anyone is interested in joining, you are more than welcome! We still have 13 signed up right now and have 3 more spots open! Just let me know.

Hello everyone! Just a reminder that our draft day is this Sunday! There is still time to join the league (If you're interested, just let me know!). We're currently at 11 teams, so if we had an even number, that would be great, but we can make it work with an odd number.
Here are the rules from last year, which we can use again this year:
Overarching Rules
1. All league chatter happens on UMD.
2. Side bets between managers are welcome, banter is encouraged!
3. Pictures are optional. Not everyone is comfortable with pictures and that is fine. You are welcome to if you want.
Weekly Consequences
1. Every week, whoever's team has the highest point total will get to pick the type of pie that will be smashed on the person whose team has the lowest point total. They also get to pick where that pie is applied.
2. Every week, the person who beats their opponent by the widest margin will get to dish out a messy forfeit of their choice to said opponent.
3. (If there are an odd number of teams) If there is anyone with a bye week, after consequences have been assigned that week, they will be able to assign a mess to someone who didn't receive any consequences that week.
End of the Tournament
1. All league members will come up with a messy forfeit. The manager of the last place team at the end of the season will have to perform all forfeits and report back to the group how it went.
This means there will be 2 messes every week (3 if there are an odd number of players) and one massive mess at the end. Thoughts?

MessySexy - just sent you an invite link!
Reminder to everyone, the draft is at 3pm Eastern tomorrow. If you aren't going to be around, you can list your rankings on Yahoo and your team will be auto drafted based on your rankings.
If anyone is still interested in joining, you are more than welcome to, just let me know!

I hope you're all excited for draft day! Just a reminder the draft is at 12pm(Pacific)/3pm(Eastern)/8pm(BST).
I think I have a match between almost each team and who the UMD person is. There is one team called WAMMERS that I wasn't sure about. I think it might be kershawc69? If WAMMERS is your Fantasy Team, let me know!

Well, according to the C- grade my drafted team gave me, it seems I may be getting especially messy this season. Can't wait for week 1!
Great draft everyone! I hope you got as many players as you wanted. Be sure to set your teams ahead of this weekend (or Thursday if you have any players from Detroit or Kansas City).
I'm also going to add one more "End of the Tournament" mess. We already have a punishment for the overall loser of the group, but it feels like we also need a prize for the overall winner of the group. Since the overall winner will have outscored 13 other teams to earn victory, I think it's only fitting that the overall winner be allotted 13 messes that they can distribute to the players however they want. Perhaps they'll spread the mess evenly across all the players, a final "thanks for the season" to everyone? Perhaps they'll seek revenge on past opponents who made them take mess? It's the winner's call.
Alright, good luck everyone and feel free to chat and do some (friendly) trash talk, make any side bets you want, and overall, just have fun! Here are the matchups for Week 1:
Poidog101 vs Gunger_88
Hooliham vs ThePiesFly
Messy_CA vs kershawc69 (I think that's who WAMMERS is)
dbl999 vs MessySexy
BrightShirtGuy vs WamNewbie
geyemessy1 vs PieSlutLA
Novagunger vs John Smith

So I noticed on Yahoo there's a game within the League section called League Pick'em. In it, you get to choose which team wins the match each week. I'm thinking we can maybe spin that out into its own game or create side bets using it, I could also create a separate thread for it in the Wam Games section in case we want it to crowd this chat too much. Here are the rules I've come up with if we decide to branch it out into its own game
1. If you guess correctly more times than you guess incorrectly you win and don't have to take any mess,
2. If you guess incorrectly more times than you guess correctly you lose and have to take a pie for every incorrect guess.
3. If you guess everything incorrectly you get a special punishment.
4. If you guess everything right you get to choose an item to use on any of the losers for that particular week. (Losers is just referring specifically to the League Pick'em losers)
5 You don't have to commit to playing every week, if you want you can just do one week, but if you play every week there are extra prizes and punishments.
A) Every time you win consecutively you get to choose another item to use on a loser.
B) For each consecutive loss you have to (I haven't come up with a punishment yet any ideas)
C) If you win every week you get to either double the forfeit of any player who plays in the final week, or give them another punishment that you see fit to dish out
D) If you lose every week you must (I also haven't come up with a punishment for this either.
6 The person who loses the most at the end of the season must take a pie sandwich for every week they lost and have to dump a bucket of slime or gunge over their head at the end.
That's what I have so far for this side game anyone have any suggestions for what the special punishment should be? Also any other ideas for rules to add like should incorrect guesses stack from week to week or are they wiped away each week? Any feedback would be good. Also again I can turn this into a separate thread if we want to keep the chat focused solely on the fantasy league and any specific side bets for it. Or we could just use League Pick'em for side bets or otherwise ignore that feature.

Awesome, for anyone who wants to do side bets for league pick em, make your picks on that board before the first-week starts. I'll check to see if we can see each other's picks in Yahoo Sports and if we can't see each other's picks through there we could either post them in this chat, or you could DM me the screenshot of your pics.
Edit. Also if you're following this thread but for any reason don't have a team in the league, but still want to participate in the League Pick em side bets just dm me your picks for which team you think will win/lose each match

Updates to the game
For rule 3 (if you guess every team wrong) the special punishment is a bowl of mess chosen by the winner from that week.
For rule 5B (if you lose consecutively) each consecutive loss gets you an extra 2 pies
For 5D (if you lose every single week) you must also receive the same punishment as the manager of the last-place team in the league.
Hey all! This is just a quick reminder that the first game of the week begins in a couple of hours. If you drafted anyone from the Detroit Lions or the Kansas City Chiefs and are planning on playing them this week, make sure they are active in your lineup before the game begins at 2:20pmPST/5:20pm EST/10:20pm BST. Good luck everyone!
Nova and I had a side bet that the loser had to recreate a scene of the winners choosing. Opening the floor to suggestions now 
I've got the results of the first League Pick'em Side Bets. (The site hasn't calculated them at the time of this post so I did the results manually. If I made any mistakes with this let me know) We've got a tie for first place and a tie for last place. In first place with 4 correct guesses each, are Messy_CA and DBL999 (which is me), so both of us are safe for the first week. In last place with only 2/7 correct guesses are Nova's Gunger's and PieSlutLA who have to take 5 pies each because they had 5 incorrect guesses. Nobody had either a full win or full lose sweep this week so rules 3 and 4 do not apply.
So that's the results for the first week of the League Pick'em Side Bet. That's 5 pies for Nova's Gunger's and 5 pies for PieSlutLA for losing.
