Hey everyone, here's our 2017 thread for the MacRumors Founders League.

The divisions we've used over the past couple of years are as follows.

Jobs Division
@Moyank24
@TwinCities Dan
@Queen of Spades
@swiftaw
@GoCubsGo


Woz Division
@Jaffa Cake
@rdowns
@rick snagwell
@MacNut

If everyone wants to keep things as they are we can do that, but if you all would like to mix it up a bit then I can randomize the divisions to give us something new.

We are also currently looking at two possible draft options, Tuesday around 10 pm US Central or we could do Wednesday around 10 pm US Central. I know these times are late, but we are tying to find a balance between time zones including our players across the pond. Please post in this thread whether Tuesday or Wednesday is better for you and we'll simply go with the majority.

Please ensure that you can access your team at the league ESPN site. If you have any questions or problems let me know.

I'm looking forward to another fun year.

 
Well,
Is there anyone we haven't heard from yet about draft times.
Well, people were responding about the possibility of Tuesday, but then we opened up the option for Wednesday. So I just wanted to give everyone one final chance to put in their preference.

Tuesday at 10pm US Central

Wednesday at 10pm US Central
 
Okay, it looks like Wednesday seems to be the better night for most. Either people would prefer Wednesday or they say either are fine. Based on this feedback I'm gonna set the draft for Wednesday night at 10pm US Central time.

That's fine with me, hopefully all of these player injuries and uncertainties will sort themselves out by then too.
 
Won't be able to draft but just set my auto draft preferences. Fingers crossed.
 
Just a reminder about our other NFL fantasy games. Pick'em and Eliminator.

Passwords for both are Rumors
Shame on you if you have not signed up for at least the eliminator challenge. Commissioner rule, if you don't play the eliminator or the pick'em then you won't be allowed in the league next year. ;)

I hope that helps @MacNut.

Now you do sound like Goddell :p
 
Okay, I never got any feedback on changing up the divisions and we're out of time anyway so we will keep the same divisions and schedule as we had last year. What you see in the system right now is accurate so there shouldn't need to be any changes made. Games start tonight so make sure you are ready to go.
 
Is there anything worse than watching one of your bench guys have a monster game?
Nope! I have Alex Smith in another league and that dude blew it up.

Speaking of QBs, anyone need one? Even though ESPN let me choose my draft rankings and now they let me put limits on how many players are drafted per position, I still landed twice the QBs I need and 2 more than the cap I set. :D
 
Congrats @Queen of Spades on the victory and good luck in the championship. I don't know why I do this to myself time and time again. Just stick with the good players that got you there, don't go switching out based on match ups and get yourself beat in the playoffs. Silly, silly me, if I had just stayed with Christian Mcaffery and Alex Smith... :(
