I will play again if you guys can't fill the spot, if for no other reason than to beat Rotodestroyers ass to a pulp. with my old man cane.

Well, that doesn't help with trying to assign a team to Coldneck.

If you'd prefer to go with 11 teams, that's fine too. I'm just trying to help.

Ideally 12. Coldneck wanted to see the rosters of the two available teams, but I guess we should wait to see if we can pick up another owner before I assign one of them to him... Just sort of a timing thing.

Explain to me the Keeper rules. If I keep 3 players they'll be a substitute for my first three picks, correct? Can I keep one player and then have a 2nd and 3rd round pick? What are your free agent pickup rules?

I'd also like to say you can count me in. If everyone decides to come back that is fine too. I can wait until next year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Draft Type
Offline Your league conducts its own offline draft and you submit the results manually.
Live Your league will participate in a live online draft with ESPN's live draft software. Based on a predetermined draft order, each team takes a turn selecting a player in a set amount of time. This type of draft is sometimes called a Snake Draft, as the draft order reverses each round.
List Your league's rosters are automatically drafted based on each team's pre-draft rankings list. Each team owner will receive an email upon the draft's completion.
Auction Your league will participate in a live online auction draft using ESPN's auction draft software. In an auction draft, teams begin with a set budget and take turns nominating players to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Count me in guys. CC PM'd me the teams and I'd much prefer BT's to RotoDestroyer's. I guess we first need to confirm whether BT is going to continue to play. If not, we need to find a replacement who will to take Roto's shitbox team. how can someone that claims the name RotoDestroyer have such a terrible team? One of the worst I've ever seen.

So, BT, you'd rather not play, but will if we cannot find a replacement. Correct?

Shit. My bad. I'm a dumbass.

[Fella]

Even though the team is a shitbox, its not that big of a deal. There are a couple nice keepers anyway and the rest of the team is gonna be re-drafted. Coach won last year after taking over a shitbox last place team from the previous year.

Give it a couple days. If you find another person, then give Coldneck my team. If you don't find another person, give coldneck the other team, and I will come back. Either way, you'll have 12.
