No Beasts, :?: :?:

I guess he didn't want to frenzy tonight.

He was looking for a preset time for a frenzy.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but will someone please fill me in on what a frenzy is and how it works?

When a league is created one has the option of making it a waivers league or a frenzy league. Unlike a waivers league, a frenzy league means all free agents are available when HAL sets everyone's rosters.

So, if Beasts loads his team into our league today, at approximately 12:10 a.m. Eastern time tonight we can begin to make changes to our rosters by cutting down to 23 players (13 hitters, 10 pitchers) and acquiring free agents.

In a waivers league, one has to wait a day and a half (more or less) for waivers to fire before he has access to the available free agents.

But, since this is a keeper league and we've had a six round draft to boot, the frenzy becomes more of a fizzle since our rosters are already set (pretty much) anyway. So you won't miss much if you just wait until the morning to deal with your team.

Some leagues are set up to be frenzy leagues from the get go. You select your roster as you would in an auto league. Then you load it in the particular frenzy league. When HAL sets your roster you find out how many of the guys you selected you actually received. Then you get after it to pick up the available free agents you want. However, eleven other managers are after many of the same guys you are. Hence, the term frenzy. It's wild and fun!

Armchair Playoff History

Postby doc x » Thu Jul 06, 2006 12:09 pm

I thought you guys might find this interesting. Remember, Armchair's first season was the result of an autodraft league. I'm not sure I know who is still with us from that first season. We invited everyone from that auto league to from a live draft league for season 2. Not everyone did and we put the word out for additional managers. I think it would be interesting to see how long everyone who is in Armchair now has been with the league.

Anyway, here is the playoff history:

Season: (champ listed first, runner up next, semis qualifiers last)

1: Beasts, Layabouts, Slaughterhouse Nine, Mountain Oysters

2: Beasts, Layabouts, Express, Lollygaggers

3: Ducksnorts, Lollygaggers, Slingers, Misfits

4: Winners, Torpedoes, Beasts, Layabouts

5: Torpedoes, Players, Layabouts, Red Sox

6: Bears, Slingers, Players, Layabouts

7: Lollygaggers, Red Sox, Misfits, Layabouts

8: Bears, Red Sox, Winners, Layabouts

9: Red Sox, Layabouts, Slingers, Winners

10: Red Sox, Bears, Beasts, Turkeys

11: Lollygaggers, Red Sox, Bears, Beasts

12: Turkeys, Red Sox, Bears, Beasts

13: Red Sox, Turkeys, Bears, Misfits

14: Red Sox, Misfits, Blue Stockings, Turkeys

15: Turkeys, Owls, Lollygaggers, Red Sox
