2023 Surly Roto League

[txhorns 2409]

It's time to get this up and running again.  Same $50 buy in as last season.  Same rules unless a majority of participants want to change something.  Will look to draft late March.  The league has been reactivated for the new year, yes it still has the 2022 date for now.

any chance of getting more teams to join?

or getting this moved to the baseball board?

[Scraps 13560]

I am pretty sure we originally were on the baseball board and got moved here by the powers that be.  

We could do like yall did on a team thread, but not sure how many non participants will venture into the Detroit Tigers thread lol

We were moved to this board years ago but we can advertise in threads on the baseball board.

the rays thread has a few stragglers every year and let me just say, they are hilarious.

[Henry Hill 3156]

[Scraps 13560]

So we are down to 9 - shadow operative 2 is out 

So we definitely need to get at least one more person.....possibly 3 lol

[txhorns 2409]

I just posted in the MLB off season thread.

[Capn81 372]

It would be great to get to 12

[VolenteHawk 495]

I'm in.  Once the Royals start 2-13 it's really all I've got.

[shadow_operative 15932]

i'm also in again partnering with hg. hoping we can get up to 12 as well.

 

[Brew 3049]

I’m good for another year.

[Scraps 13560]

So I think we are sitting at 9 right now if my count is correct.  7 in this thread and then castolon and tokamak said they were in at the end of the old thread.  

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Fuck it, I’m back in. Someone has to get 19 pts again this season. 

I’ll get with commish tomorrow to square up. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Was it PayPal? Don’t remember. Shoot me the option. 

[Scraps 13560]

Sweet....back to 10

Yes PayPal. I will send out the info in a PM closer to the draft

[txhorns 2409]

Works for me if we can do it 7pm or later.  I have another draft scheduled that day already at 5pm 

[VolenteHawk 495]

Sunday evening works for me.  Daytime would be tougher but I can't tell you when, cause select baseball.

Evening works.

[Capn81 372]

The 26th works me too. How about 730 or 8pm Central?

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

I’m thinking 11:30 Central, need some guys asleep.

8PM works well for me.  Anyone opposed to 8PM?

[Scraps 13560]

Good for me

[Henry Hill 3156]

I’m out.

[Scraps 13560]

Well that escalated quickly....didn't Henry win it last year?


Back to 9 people if he isn't joking

i have no clue who this henry hill chatacter is, but he's been going super nuclear on me in the hoops board this week, and i think he may have been temporarily banned for it yesterday. i'm guessing my presence is too much for him to handle, and no i'm not joking in any way. i have no explanation for his behavior. 

moving on from that, is there any more recruiting we can do on the baseball forum? i know someone came to the TB Rays thread saying they wanted to play and we referred them to this thread. did that person ever come here to join?

[Scraps 13560]

Nope

[henrygandorf 29189]

somebody who isn't me needs to send him a pm.

also rename this thread to "cincinnati reds 2023 thread" and move it to baseball board so people will actually post on it.

[henrygandorf 29189]

also do we know when the horns would be on sunday if we so happen to win on friday?  will this interfere?

[Scraps 13560]

8pm won't. Games last year were 1pm and 4pm central starts

Or 4:07 blah blah whatever

[henrygandorf 29189]

are we locked at 10?  can we go ahead and do a draft order so we can mock?  we mock what we don't understand.

[Scraps 13560]

Just do 10 mock drafts  one for each draft position like a badass 

[Scraps 13560]

Also I think we only have 9 now.  Last I saw our defending champ said he was now "out" 

[shadow_operative 15932]

what is the buy-in for this league again? trying to recruit somebody and need that info.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

A fucking lot. 

Spoiler

$50 

[tokamak 6391]

I can probably do 8 pm Sunday

Obligatory condescending douchey "I know you're not used to this but elite 8 Sunday games are earlier" from a semi-butthurt Kansas fan.

Championship game for my boy's tournament is at 6 in BFE (Dripping), but we'll almost certainly not be playing in it.  If they bump their heads, I may be autodraft.

[tokamak 6391]

Do we still need more people? I have a non surly buddy that might be interested

[Scraps 13560]

I would say yes.

I am not even sure we have 10

Yes

[tokamak 6391]

No luck

[Capn81 372]

Do we hold off until Tuesday or Wednesday night to draft to try to find one more? Or just roll it? I am good any of those ways.

[tokamak 6391]

The league on ESPN has 10 in it as of right now. If we need to wait a couple more days that’s fine with me

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

I would prefer it pushed back also, not really feeling it tonight with other shit going on. Either way.

Still kind of waiting to hear for sure from Henry Hill.  Anyone opposed to pushing it to Wednesday night?

[Capn81 372]

Wednesday works for me

[Scraps 13560]

I can do Wednesday, but i doubt we get more people unless someone actually knows someone who would get it. Been trying on here for 2 weeks already.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Did you send the dude from the MLB thread a PM? Find his post, & I’ll do it.
