2012 Battle of Sports Forums

[Rounders Block]

Can you also post their records so I can update the spreadsheet and post it in here? Stickempco was from Realgm as well.

Actually don't have the records on hand. You're gonna have to ask one of the guys who competed that year to access the league page and post them.

I was thinking to invite them as well... not kicking out BuserSports. I've never liked the idea of kicking out a forum if they place last.

Make it 20-team league? I like it at 16 teams.

[Curtis Lemansky]

20 teamer is an option to consider but I cant lie, I really like the idea of one forum sitting out every year. Even the last team in the standings has something to fight for in the final weeks.

[Redhopeful]

We could add them this year ? Any harm in this?

Just dashing the hopes and dreams of the buser forum.

The fact none of them have come in here yet screaming bloody murder makes me think they'd welcome this rather than endure another beatdown?

Agree with both of you.

EDIT: However, this should be put to a poll to all participants. Can you put one up Gokce?

I was looking at the results posted on the first page, and I could've sworn UCLA from RK won the first season of this league. Maybe I'm mistaken though, but I'm almost sure of it. I'll try to go look it up. I think it was the 2004 season.

Yeah it was '05-'06. Here's what I dug up...

1. UCLAccord (RK)
2. Dutch (Fantasykings)
3. LDubLakerPride (Fantasykings)
4. KB89 (RK)
5. sly (Rotofreak)
6. a2f_gus (Fantasykings)
7. magnumt (fantasybasketball.com)
8. GTO (RealGM)
9. stickempco (??)
10. Wes (Rotofreak)
11. Writers Block (RealGM)
12. SantaKlaus (Fantasykings)

Brian, I didnt know you played in here all the way back in 2005

I finally found the profile I played under for that league.

Regular season standings.

1. KB89-RotoKingdom.net 112-71-6 .608
2. Dutch Fantasykings 108-74-7 .590
3. F-F-F-F-K Uuuuunit! 105-80-4 .566
4. UCLAccordRotokingdom 102-81-6 .556

11. Writers Block RealGM 73-108-8 .407
12. Santa - F. Kings 64-116-9 .362

And the list the RB provided was how the PO's turned out.

Consider "bloody murder" screamed!!!

Honestly, I can't speak for Buser or my other forum-mates, but I could understand the league wanting to stay true to the rule and include Rotoworld for this season. I get that, and have no problems with it.

However...as it stands now, I MOST CERTAINLY want another shot at this! As a forum, I feel we could have done a whole lot better in terms of the standings. And tell me I'm wrong if ANYONE in this league last season felt Buser himself would finish dead last!

It was just a fluky season all around, and I for one am looking forward to this supposed "beatdown" Red and others will be giving us - 46.581 winning percentage to 47.115? I'll gladly take THOSE odds!

Thanks for that, I'll add it up into the spreadsheet as well.

To be honest, I had to take a double take on that one too. And, looking at where I landed (2nd to last), I'm guessing it wasn't me, but some impostor.

seriously though, I think that was when it wasn't hosted here on RealGM, right? I vaguely remember playing, and sucking.

[writersblock]

And as for expanding the league to 5 forums, I have to ask first: Do we even know if Rotokingdom wants to join? Shouldn't we wait to figure that out first? We may not even get 4 guys from that forum interested in playing...

If we're going to expand, I'd say keep it at 4 forums, but add an extra team per forum. From what I hear, there are people in each forum waiting to get in. If we want to do 20, then let's go with people clamoring to get in, says I.

[KB89]

Hey guys, sorry if this isn't allowed here, but I'm needing to find a replacement for a RotoKingdom based football keeper I've run the past 7 years. A long time member has randomly gone MIA and I'd love to fill his spot with a competitive member such as one of yourselves. We need to begin drafting as soon as I find a replacement since we do a slow board draft. It's a fairly standard league (with a WR/RB and WR/TE flex, and 0.5 PPR being the only real differences from standard leagues). If any of you are interested or have anyt more questions then you can email me at CBooone89xxx@xxxgmail.com (minuses the xxx's obviously) Oh, and we keep 4 players, and you'd be fortunate to have Calvin Johnson as one of those 4.

Rotokingdom is already in, Rotoworld is the name you are looking for

IMO it is best to decide the course of action before contacting them. If they turn down our invite (which I dont really see happening) , then we can simply continue with 4x4 format.

[Curtis Lemansky]

Since we already have 9 votes against the format change, we'll continue with 4 teams x 4 forum format.

I'll try to get in touch with Rotoworld members for 2013 - 2014 season.

[mattbuser]

I could understand the league wanting to stay true to the rule and include Rotoworld for this season. I get that, and have no problems with it.

However...as it stands now, I MOST CERTAINLY want another shot at this!

I have to agree with So-Tex here. Can't say we could have had much of an issue with getting bumped, although it absolutely would have been disappointing. Hopefully someone else is getting replaced next season..

Busersports will be in the competition this season, I dont think there are any questions about that.

About that 5th forum, I managed to get in touch with one of the Rotoworld writers for their participation. Soon enough we'll get their response.

[Curtis Lemansky]

I'll get the lottery done tomorrow and post the results. That should give managers nearly a month to prepare for the draft.

[Curtis Lemansky]

The following draft order was randomly generated for your league:
1 - So-tex
2 - Matt Buser
3 - Curtis Lemansky

[Curtis Lemansky]

Yay. 3rd pick.

By the way the results should be in your emails as well.
