Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So just out of curiosity, will the league be run in more or less the fashion of last year's Pre-Kickoff league (N teams for the whole season, no trading after a certain point)?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Is there going to be a maximum number of players?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Well let's see. Divide 1291 by three and you got about 430.
So the maximum number is 430.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Just out of curiosity, when will the draft take place (and is this a preseason draft, before the robots are built)?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Probably not until after January 26th, when we actually know who is going where.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Who's going where doesn't matter so much as who's in and who's out.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Your basically forcasting what you anticipate how a team will do overall for the upcomming season.
What I'm asking you to do is something I particalaly loathe and forcast the fortunes of a team doing something that is unknown in spite of their past success.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Does this also mean we cannot PM you a list?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Come on Ed, you know just as well as anyone else that some of us have jobs during the season. Not to mention meetings to attend. What if we are positively unable to make our time slot?

Also, is the draft a continuous 1-44, 1-44, 1-44, 1-44... or are we doing it serpentine style? aka. 1-44, 44-1, 1-44, 44-1

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'm a little confused, are we drafting for Championships already or are we drafting for each regional already?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'll take PMs.
IN fact I reccommend it.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

^See above post for remedy or PM for a reprive. I just don't want people who join leagues and are never heard from again. It's my biggest fantasy sports pet peeve.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

You are drafting for what the team does over the whole season from regionals to championship. EVery match. Every award are points accumulated and then divided by the amount of competitions to get that teams score. Add up the four teams on your alliance for your score.
Choose wisely.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

amos229 PM'd me to join the league so I'm adding hil to the back end of the draft.
Any objections?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

None on my end. Time to work on a list.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'd reccomend everyone do this and send it my way.
Better safe than sorry.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Nope.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So, we choose one team per round Where can we find a list of teams?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Go to the FIRST site.
Unfortunately they changed the way to look up every single team in FIRST.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

It's been awhile since the post:

The first round will have a 1 hour time allowance.
So round 1 tomorrow is:
1. clean399 5pm
2. Philmont629 6pm
3. Tapoore 7pm
4. JGjedi10 8pm
5. "Big Mike" 9pm
6. Tim Delles 10pm
7. robotcanuck1676 11pm
8. dhoizner midnight

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

clean399 PM'd me his pick.
Team 25 Raider Robotics.
Philmont629 has til 7pm tomorrow to pick.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'll take 71

clean399 - 25
Philmont629 - 71

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Wait, so a regional enigneering inspiration is worth more than winnings nationals? That doesn't seem right.
I think the Eistein scoring should be 50-35-25.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

My first choice for to start this years Fantasy First will be team #25.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

It's 45 at the Championship but 50 seems right.
Also robot awards Quality, Innovation in Control, Creativity, Driving Tommorows Technology and Industrial Design are woth 15 at regionals and 25 and championship.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Tapoore has til 8pm to pick.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Unless Ed's scoring it differently, the score should be a de facto 60--to win on Einstein (35), you also had to have won a division (25).

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

There is a list of all the teams on the FIRST Wiki

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Looks like we have our first booting.
Tapoore was online at 5ish and failed to pick. Because I forgot to PM him earlier I'll give him til tomorrow to get in contact with me and he can stay. If he doesn't he's out.
JGjedi10 has til 9 to pick.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

No response from JGjedi10.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong because I have gotten few PMs and I've got people missing their picks.
So I'm going to PM everybody to tell them that the leauge has begun it's draft.
Meanwhile "Big Mike" has til 10 to pick.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I will take The Poofs 254

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Are we allowed to draft our own team? Are we allowed to draft teams that have already been selected?

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Yes to the first. No to the second.

Re: [FF]: Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Thanks Corey.
