hi, i would like to withdraw from league 1 if you're reading this nghiem. team name: Wild Zubac Appeared. spot is up for grabs if anyone wants it.

I just reactivated OG League 1 and removed your team. T'was a pleasure playing with ya, Zubac. If any other teams want to give up their spot for a new team, let me know! I'll post the same request on the Yahoo board.

This season will be the 10-year mark, so let's make it a good one. PM me if you'd like to join! Classic 12-team, H2H 9-cat league.

[Sam Bash]

Lithuania '92 is back for a spot in L2

for auction keeper leaguers, deadlines have been set for setting keepers and the draft will be the saturday prior to the first day of games. waivers have been reduced to 1 day since owners have been relatively active and it'll keep the league more dynamic. i unlocked eliminated teams so they can make offseason moves. i added michael porter after other teams were locked out from adding him as a keeper, so i will not be keeping him this year for transparency. it was an oversight going into last season.

can we do some informal polling on this time? 6 PM on a saturday is pretty brutal timing and might be straight up undoable for me

[the_village]

Still need one more for the h2h auction money league

Can someone post a list of all the hpn leagues so it's easier to keep track of which leagues are being discussed in each post?

[shirts optional]

i'm out of League 2, sorry guys, too many ghosted teams

maybe put this in the op

[whatabout tim]

Count me out this year. Don't have to time to keep up and I was never very good anyways.

[delgriffith]

I'm gonna have a go at editing the OP this afternoon with the latest information.

For the records, in the Auction Keeper League my team (formerly Big Biggie Brand in 2017/18, and Ayton For You in 2018/19) is now going to be Theory Of A Dedmon

[delgriffith]

OK, trying to piece this together is a pain in the ass. I've updated the OP with as much information as I can get, here's a general post with my unanswered questions.

League 1

- nghiem, or anyone else who is on the ball and paying attention, I need an assist here. League 1 has always been a black box to me because I've never been in it and it seems to have been way less active in terms of conversation in here (at least the past 2 seasons).
- No idea what any team names are/have been, and of the boarders listed in the OP right now the only ones I'm pretty certain are still in League 1 are nghiem, Spotlight Kid, nakedlunch, Lucky, and maybe shame dawg? Everyone else I've listed there with question marks because they were in League 1 at some point but haven't posted in this thread at all since 2017.
- nghiem posted on Sunday that the league was still active/being renewed, so I take it that's still the case, but there's currently only 5 boarders I'm 90% sure are in League 1 & presumably will be continuing

League 2

- The following boarders are not returning, either by choice or because of inactivity: shirts optional, whatabout tim, milknight
- smartphone & Infinite Jost - are you in?
- I can't figure out who owned the following teams: Hamilton Tigercats & jason smith is daddy. They each made (a small number of) waiver wire moves last season - as late as February for both of them, finished 6th and 7th respectively, and were seemingly active enough that they should be able to play again if they want to. But we need to know who they are, otherwise they're out
- At the moment, the league hasn't been renewed by landspeedrecord. Could League 2 members who are not part of other leagues please let themselves be heard if they want to continue playing in the league? By my count there are currently 6 members who have expressed interest in continuing League 2 in some form or who I assume are back in: myself, jumper, Sam Bash, tonybricker, soft milk, the_village.
- If it continues as a 14 team league, there are currently a minimum of 3 spots to fill - potentially as many as 6 or 7

Auction Keeper

- This all seems good, everyone is coming back, Year 3 will be a good one

Hipinion Money League

- Also seems fine, although not everyone listed in the_village's latest post has actually joined the Yahoo league yet

Hipinion Roto League

- I haven't updated this in the OP because I assume it isn't coming back. If I'm wrong and there's interest, I think I should be able to piece it together. I personally won't be doing Roto again though, so that'll be at least one slot for anyone who wants it.

General Note

- I'm not doing this kind of legwork again So make the most of it, let's actually figure out which leagues are continuing, and could people please post in here when they change their team names - or once they've chosen one and drafted a team, post what their team name is and which league the team is playing in. It makes this cleanup so much easier.
- imho if League 1 really does only have 5 or 6 active people continuing, and League 2 has around the same number, we should finally actually act on consolidating those leagues. nghiem if you're happy to continue as commissioner, once I have a bit more information on who is accounted for and definitely committed to League 1 this year, we can just send invites to the group coming over from League 2 and that should get us up to 12 or 14 teams.
- If that ends up being the case, we'd have the following: One 12 or 14 team free league (H2H, snake draft), one 12 team money league (H2H, auction draft), one 12 team dynasty league (H2H, auction draft with keepers)

Over and out!

who is 'john henson's corner 3' and john's unreal team'?

[Thrustin Jeroux]

I would love to do H2H but I understand if league 2 just doesn’t have the buyers

[landspeedrecord]

well we can certainly reduce to 12 teams and cut people who were inactive and perhaps find a new team or two

[Thrustin Jeroux]

If we can do that I’d love it. I can even recruit.

Mon+Tues nights work best for me in terms of a draft. Otherwise I can do weekend afternoons but would need to start sooner vs later. Work most nights.

[Dr. Munir Xochipillicueponi Quetzalkanbalam]

auction keeper governors - please provide input on draft times. i can make a doodle poll to ensure we can accomodate the most possible. the keeper deadline will be in flux until then. keepers will be determined 1 week prior to the draft so there is time to prepare for draft day.

[jalapeño ranch]

Unless it’s like 7:30pm Pacific time, weekdays are pretty rough for me. Weekends I’m pretty much fine with whenever.

[nghiem]

Thanks a lot for putting that together, Del. League 1 is alive and kicking as we are not quite ready to retire yet . I just sent out an invite for the last spot in the league, but will post if we happen to need anyone else as there may be some openings. As I finalize the league, I'll post details for you to update in the OP.

The old bros league history:

[hey look]

I’m in still! (goran dragula)...can’t believe I’ve never finished top 3 and I’ve won the regular season multiple times

[delgriffith]

Rad, thanks nghiem! Happy 10th and good luck going for another threepeat
