Just a short note — I have received registrations for 18 people for this year’s fantasy league. Of those, 5 people did not send me their Transaction ID. I have also setup a mailing list for communications about the fantasy league. The 13 people who have been identified have been sent a message. If you did not receive a message, then I do not have your Transaction ID. This should have been in the email you received after making payment.
Info on the mailing list can be found here. If you did not get the email, go to this location and subscribe.
The Blog will be mainly for football-related discussions. Any discussions on Fantasy should be using the mailing list.
Any other questions, email me at FFL@theboysblog.com.
Thanks
UPDATE: We now have only 2 people who have not identified themselves. If you signed up but have not heard from me about the league via email then you need to get me the TransactionID so I can identify you.
I have received emails on what we are doing with the Fantasy league this year. Unlike last year, where the blog became inundated with Fantasy league activities (threads, drafts, etc.), this year I am only mentioning it once on the blog.
There is a link at the top of the left column that tells you how we will do the fantasy league this year and, from there, how to sign up. It also shows last year’s winner with his autographed Troy Aikman helmet. If you are interested in the fantasy league, please click on the link to the left or here to find out more.
If you have any questions you can email me at FFL@theboysblog.com …
We’re on the home stretch folks…
Rafael is busy entering everyone and assigning them leagues (North, East, West, South). He told me that all should be done in about an hour. Once he’s done I’m sure he’ll post an update on this thread.
Update: Everybody is the the program. We have 40 confirmed players, hence four 10 team leagues. Those who chose West and East were put there. Those who said Central are in the South. Everybody else was assigned at random. Most of you are in the North.
I have activated the drafts for two divisions but for some reason am having trouble setting up the schedules. I’ll check with Raul and the programmer tomorrow morning. I should have all league drafts activated by Tuesday noon. There is one minor glitch. There is a duplicate team in the South and we need to figure out how to delete it before proceeding. Everybody should be ready to go by early to mid-afternoon. The machine sets draft orders at random, so don’t blame me if you’re picking tenth.
Scott Cox and Kevin Brenner — I got your emails about signing up but I NEED the Transaction IDs that were in your confirmation email. If I do not get them I cannot keep you in the league.
EVERYONE — I have 6 unclaimed Transaction IDs, meaning that there are 6 donations that I have not received an email with the ID so that I know who made those payments. If I do not get those emails verifying those IDs then I will be forced to refund the $20 payments and you will not be in the 2006 The’Boys Blog Fantasy League!!!
Please, PLEASE, everyone … email me your Transaction ID so you’re not left out in the cold…
Any unclaimed transactions will be refunded Wednesday or Thursday.
I know a lot of you are curious as to where we stand on TheBoysBlog Fantasy League. Here’s an update:
The coding has been ongoing and after a brief walk-through, all looks like it might be ready. We have contacted some of the people who have signed up to test out the mock draft process. We’re planning on doing that tomorrow evening.
We’d like to wait until after the last preseason game to do the live draft so that nobody drafts a player that gets injured in the last preseason game.
Missing Owners
If you have not received an email from me then I do not have your email address for the league. There are 8 fees paid that have not been claimed, meaning that I have not received an email from the 8 people with those Transaction IDs. If you are one of these eight people, please email me at raul@theboys.com with the Transaction ID that was sent to you via email. That ID may also be on your credit card statement.
If I do not get the final 8 participants identified I will refund the money back to the person(s), so you will see the refund. If you still want to participate you can pay the fee again.
The following IDs need “claimed”:ÂÂ

All people joining should receive an email with the Transaction ID. You should also see the Transaction ID on the confirmation page at Amazon. That number is important because it allows me to associate your email address with the entrance fee (Amazon does not send email addresses to protect your privacy).
