Ok, i have been trying to get a macosx.com fantasy baseball league together by asking in Herve's B&G but so far we only have 2 teams. I would like to see us get at least 8.

The price is FREE and time commitment is minimal. I would want to use an automated draft system so there is no time spent putting your team together unless you want to take the time to prioritize your draft lists. You only need to check in on your team once every couple of weeks once play starts to be considered active.

and it is easy to play. I have never played fantasy sports until this year and i won one of my football leagues and am currently in second place in one of my basketball leagues and i don't even follow Basketball. The site gives you enough stats that even those in other countries should be able to compete.:)
 
I wanna play. Should be in Herves bar, but after reading it, I kinda didn't get it...could somebody tell me who everybody is and what they are doing?
I hate being the new guy
 
ok voice (were you the one person who already said yes?)

the people in Herve's are just the people that use macosx.com. You should find posts by moat of them other places. it is just a place to talk at a slightly slower pace than chatting. this makes it more difficult and easier, depending upon how you view.

It really is starting to take on the feel of a real bar or party. lots of people having little semi-private conversations that anyone can join in or ignore. Occasionally some big attention getting question or remark that everybody wants to be a part of.

if you haven't read my 1st post that started the whole thing, do so now. it might explain a little more. You might want to think of it as random thoughts and responses rather than a question and answer thread. just for fun. Like playing fantasy baseball. so do you follow much American baseball in Norway?
 
count me in! I don't know exactly how it works since it's a long time since I red about this, but I really wanna participate ;)
 
I've never seen a whole baseball-game. All I know about the great sport, I got from movies. Sports-stores suck here too, I have all the grear I need, but it was bought in Canada.

But hey, I started out with basketball here before it was anything, and now it's one of our biggest sports...the same could easily happen to baseball. Also, I have a dream about american football being a big sport here.
 
You know im in Ed. I certainly like the part about minimal commitment.;) :D But seriously, so how exactally does it work? Not like matters, I pick up stuff very quickly.:)
 
cool, that is at least 5 of us so far. 3 more and we can get going. actually i may spend some time tonight seeing if i can set up a league and everybody can join it with some general directions.

I love the idea of an international fantasy baseball league. the whole concept is too cool!!:cool:
 
I am pasting a copy of the invitation letter that the league sends out. The league is called macosx.com.

your own team of MLB stars. You'll compete with 9 other team

What better way to usher in another baseball season than to
live out the ultimate baseball fantasy - running your own
team!

We hope you enjoy CBS SportsLine.com Fantasy Baseball. Have a
great season.

It is set up for automated draft and head to head competition. i suggest you read the rules and homepage to get the basics. i'll be glad to answer any questions i can.
 
oh, a couple of other things - our draft date is Friday March 22. you should make any changes to your draft rank lists by March 20. My team is called the iMacs.

I couldn't start the league thru the system i had originally planned - it cost money i found out. so this one is free and it requires that we have 10 teams - no more and no less. so it is first come, first served to be in it. Once it fills up, no one else can play in it. however a second league could be started if that many people wanted to play.:)

Phil - the only way to get dibs on players is to move them up in your draft rankings and hope they are still available when it is your turn. again, i chose automated draft so we don't have to all get online to go thru that long process. the site will do it for us and send it out to us that morning.
 
OK, I'm all signed up now. I have The Glasswaves(I'll leave the Mac-names to you guys). I'm registered as The 27th Voice cause FBL wouldn't take voice- as a valid name...
 
voice - I think we would have figured that one out. ;)

it is a little harder to get a nick or even the name of your team since there are so many people using the service. There are literally thousands of leagues on the server, which will slow it down at times but it really runs amazingly quick most of the time considering.

i will be posting some hints and suggestions of things i have learned in my other sports leagues as time goes by. again, if anybody has any questions at all, just ask em here.:)
 
LTM - would it bother you if i started calling you by your first name here on the site? It would be much more to my preference if it is ok with you.:)
 
Better hurry Phil, you've only got less than a month to adjust your draft rankings and try to get your favorite players.:D
