Just wanted to drop in and let you guys know i have a few spots in BB FHL #3.  i ran 2 of the 3 leagues last year and they are really fun.  I'd like to have between 10 and 12 teams in this league.  So if you want in post your email on this post and I'll send you an invite within the next day or two.  

Thanks, 

Erik

P.s. whats the deal with the official BB league?

Alright guys.  I got a request for BB FHL #3 to be renewed, so it is up and running.  All the invites have been sent to last years players.  Join in if you would like, or ignore it if you don't plan on getting back in.  I have set the draft on this one for pretty much the last day possible like the other one.  When everyone is in we'll pick a day through the message board in the actual league.  

I received a request to renew this league.  So for everyone that was in this league last year, I renewed it for this year.  I have sent invitations out to everyone from last season.  If you dont want to rejoin let me know so i can fill the spot.    

If anyone from BB FHL #3 would like me to renew that league, just let me know.   

Thanks, 

Erik

i need 75 words so I'm just gonna type this down here. =)

Would anyone be interested in trying a Fantasy Auction league?  For those who don't know what it is, you basically get a set amount of "money" and then instead of the traditional draft, you bid on players.  The draft order is used to Nominate players for bidding.  You have to use atleast 1 dollar per roster spot and you have to fill all spots.  I just did one this season for football and it was a lot of fun.  Let me know if you are interested and I'll get one set up.  Looking for 10-12 people.

I have set up Blueshirt Banter FHL #3.  

ID# 40896

Password: rangers3

All settings are the same as the first 2 leagues, and this will also be a live draft.  

Its says auto pick now, but i will go ahead and set up a date for the draft shortly.  Go ahead and sign in as soon as possible so we can see how many people we have and get a draft going.  I'm really just typing because i have to meet the 75 word minimum.

Just wanted to throw a post up and let you guys know i have a team in both leagues.  I joined the first league, and then I created the second league and didnt want to back out until I knew the second one would fill up.  I am willing to give up my team in the first BB FHL to a fellow Blueshirt Banter reader.  Just let me know and I will be happy to back out.

Alright guys, as Jim said, we had enough interest to start a second league.  The rules are going to be the same as the first Blueshirt Banter FHL.  It seems like we are still up in the air in regards to live draft or auto.  I prefer a live draft but we will fall in line with BB FHL 1 to keep it fair.  The league ID for BB FHL 2 is 30543 and the Password is rangers 2.  Feel free to voice your opinion in regards to Live or Auto draft.  Also, use your Blueshirt Banter ID's so we can keep track of who is doing what and actually know who we are talking about. 

I've been getting some pretty crazy emails from non-banter readers so im taking my email off here because I cant figure out where else they would be coming from.  Post all questions here or on the league wall if you have any.

Thanks guys!

Ok guys!  Since Luker is busy with school, I'm going to try and get this league started ASAP.  I also have never done this before, so let me know if there is anything you guys see that can be done better or different.  I want to keep everything the way that Luker had for this time around.  As soon as he removes the old league I will create the new one the same way.  under the abbreviation BBHL with the password avery16.  I'll update the post when I make the new league (hopefully tonight!) and then everyone can join in as the team Luker gave you.  I want to try and get everyone added by Friday so I can make a schedule over the weekend and post it Monday. 

Blueshirt Banter Hockey League Facts:

• Maximum of 20 players allowed.
• 1 league game played per week  - There will be a schedule released each week. You will play one player each week. This will be explained more in depth at a later point. 
• Each player will play each other player once for a 19 game season.
  
• Playoffs will be five game series (I think 8 or 10 teams will make playoffs, not sure until schedule is created after we start the league)
• The league will have one "GM" (Commissioner/Player who have powers to change league stuff); myself (Erik886) .
• Unfortunately, Luker will be occupying the New York Rangers in the league. He did all the hard work as far as I'm concerned and as much as I would like to say that im doing it now, im gonna let him keep them...NEXT TIME THOUGH..they are MINE! lol
• There isn't much glitching, but if you cheat and I find out you will obviously be kicked out of the league. Unnecessary/Overkill of the fighting feature will also be frowned upon.
  
• Players who do not finish games will be on the three strike system in terms of discipline.
• If internet connections do not work out for some reason, be honest and try to figure it out. If not, play the game at a later date and let me (erik886) know of the situation

Instructions to join the BBHL on Xbox:

1.      Boot up NHL 10, select the XBOX LIVE tab

2.      Scroll down to MY LEAGUES, select tab

3.      Scroll up two to SEARCH LEAGUES, press A

4.      You can search for the league in two ways. The first is the easiest, by typing BBHL into the Abbreviation box. Leave "ADVANCED LEAGUE SEARCH" as NO. Scroll down and press search which should yield three choices, scroll down to the last one titled "Blueshirt Banter." The second way would be to type "Blueshirt Banter" into the league name. Leave Adanced League search on NO and do the same as above. This should yield one result, Blueshirt Banter. Press A.

5.      Select your team (which you have been assigned above).

6.      Then it asks for you to enter the password. The password for the league is EXACTLY the following: avery16

Note: It might/should say that a player joined the league then was kicked. That was me on another Xbox testing my directions. Also, if you join the league and do not sign up in the comments, I will kick you out.

Well, if you're still reading you're in the league at this point. Hopefully this all works out and we get games done, as it should be a fun time. If not, well, we all have nothing to lose except time wasted (or well spent?). If anyone has any questions use this thread while it's up (it should be on the sidebar as well for a month) and then as this gets older I will replace it with a new one. This is my first time creating a league, so there might be some hiccups, but in the end I think we will be alright.

OK...So I copy and pasted the Blueshirt Banter Hockey League Facts that Luker posted on his original post.  Just waiting for him to get the old league deleted then just like the first time you can follow the instructions above.  Ill let you guys know when the new league is up!

*Update*11-4

The new league has been created...go ahead and sign up so we can get started.

p.s. LETS GO YANKEES!

LETS GO RANGERS!
