NFL.com Home Team Challenge

Post by **Bushwhacker** » 05 Aug 2006, 20:48

Although I haven't had an email about this, it is already available if you want to sign up. I've changed my home team this season, although I still don't support any NFL team above any other. I help run the Cowboys in an NFL sim so I thought I'd better sign up for America's team this season.

I haven't set up a league, as I've been out of circulation for a while so I'd rather leave it to one of the regulars. Still, if you'd prefer me to do it, I'll get on it this week. Anyway, what are you waiting for?!

Im waiting for a league name and password. Oh and im waiting for Mark to slaughter me by 2 weeks worth of points again.

Post by **Spencer4** » 05 Aug 2006, 21:00

I'm game again for this, trust one of you to set it up.

Post by **Bushwhacker** » 05 Aug 2006, 22:30

The way the league is set up is that whoever organises it has to invite the others. I'm happy to set it up, but anyone who wants to play will have to pm me with the email address you want me to use for the invitations.

If you build it they will come.

Ah bum thats not the right sport is it.

count me in, I've PM'ed you Bushwhacker.

Post by **brogie** » 06 Aug 2006, 20:14

i'll join

OK, I've sent out the first few invitations. There is no League ID or password, you need to pm me an email address. An invitation is then sent to that email address by NFL.com with a link for you to join the league, or "buddy group" as they prefer to call it. As it comes from the website, you might as well send me the address they already have for you.

Does anyone else have the same trouble me and Angel have? In previous years our games have appeared as little icons on the fantasy homepage yet this year Home team challenge has not appeared. We have to access it by signing up each time which is far from ideal.

Also if anyone else wants to sign up that would be good. You pick a new team each week and the players prices change according to their performances.

Previous seasons have seen around 5-6 teams enter so it would be good to get a more lively league going and it would also be nice for someone to prevent Mark1886 going for a 3peat having won the last 2 years (and possibly the year before that too in a TBC affair).

Finish in the top 2 of any FISO NFL game and your name will appear on the stickied hall of fame and earn your place in NFL History.

It's also worth pointing out that it's not a draft or an auction each week. You can pick whichever players you want, so long as you can afford them from your points total, which is reset every week. The formation is set for you, so you just need to decide which players to pick to fill those slots.

I haven't had the signing in problem, but then as I can never remember my password, I never sign out. Ever. The website still remembers me every time.

I'll join if you will have me.

First year playing fantasy nfl but beginners luck will hopefully count for something!

Bushwhacker has disappeared, anyone else know how I can get in. Team set, but I'm off on hols in a couple of days so may not get the chance to join up.

Post by **Mark1886** » 23 Aug 2006, 16:31

So is there a league or not? i've not recieved an invitation, even tho' i sent my email addy.

Post by **Spencer4** » 23 Aug 2006, 16:35

He's not picked up my PM, so must be away from Fiso.

I'll run this is everyone agrees, send me your email addys, and i'll set the league up.

Post by **Mark1886** » 23 Aug 2006, 17:38

The league is set up now. So anyone who wants to join 'FISO Limeys HTC' send me your email addy. I think there is a limit of 12 in this game, so get in quick. I will do another league, if required. And will of course, amalgamate the two leagues scores in to 1 division, on a separate thread.

Post by **Spencer4** » 23 Aug 2006, 19:24

My email is visible. Send it over please.

Post by **Mark1886** » 23 Aug 2006, 20:29

Invites sent to; Carl, Fe and Spencer.

Post by **CanaryYellow** » 23 Aug 2006, 20:50

Ive entered and im now showing in the 2 leagues. Seems like i just have to pick one team tho which is great. Still not showing as an icon on the fantasy home page. Believe Mrs Y has joined too. She is a bit dosed up atm so its hard to get much sense out of her.

Post by **Mark1886** » 23 Aug 2006, 20:56

All 4 of us are in, Carl

Post by **Bushwhacker** » 25 Aug 2006, 14:44

Sorry, guys, been working nights all week.

FISO is blocked at work, unfortunately, so I didn't get any PMs until just now.

Post by **CanaryYellow** » 25 Aug 2006, 14:46

Well as it looks like you just pick one team regardless of how many leagues you have joined it doenst hurt to have both open so long as we post the tables from both each week.

Post by **Mark1886** » 25 Aug 2006, 16:54

sent 2 more invites, to cam and bushwhacker. If they join then thats 6.

Don't forget the season starts on Thursday evening, so make sure you get your lineups in by then!

Post by **Mark1886** » 03 Sep 2006, 12:07

That's a good one coming from you! Mr i did'nt realise it was Thanksgiving Thursday.

At least you know this season.
How many you got for Home Team challenge? I am thinking of amalgamating our 2 leagues. For example put all the teams in your league and ignore the other one.

I've been waiting to get in to Bushwakers league but alas his ivites have not been reaching me - I think hotmail are intercepting them for some reason and deleting them as spam - peeing me off - as there not, they could send them to my junk box so I have the choice but there not. Same thing happened to people with hotmail addresses I sent invites to, also my mate wanted to join a poker site - I've sent him links from the site several times and he just called me to say he got nothing in his e-mail - 2+2 = 4 - I just noticed he is hotmail to... gota be them, they have done some new over zealous security thing without telling us - gotta be!

Well, there's no fanatic like a convert!

There is a grand total of 5 in my league: my team, Canary Yellow, Pepsi Angels, Brogies Bears and Seoul Survivors, plus bluelionman's team if either of us can ever get an invitation to him.

I've got exactly the same people, it seem daft having 2 leagues.
