The Swamp

A Sportsfrog tradition like no other! (other than every other fantasy league on the Swamp).

Easy to enter, open to all swampers and lurkers too!

Setup:

Players are sorted into 8 equal groups, based on Points Per Game rates from the regular season. As you go from group 1 to 8, points get progressively more valuable, meaning a goal/assist for Ovechkin (group 1) is worth 1 point, while a goal/assist for Jarome Iginla (group 4) is worth 1.75 points, and so on. There is also a team group, which awards either 4 or 8 points for a series win, depending on the seed of the team.

How to enter:
1. Pick your roster of 12 players. Players can be from any group, but you can only have a max of 3 players from any 1 team.
2. Pick 1 team from the teams group
3. PM roster to me.

DEADLINE: Entries can be submitted up to 6:00 CST WEDNESDAY MAY 1 (however points will not be counted until roster is received)

Updates and Standings will be posted in this thread dailyish, as well as a link to the google spreadsheet.

You mean Tuesday, Trav?

Tuesday much preferably, but just in case someone doesn't get to it in time, I'll let a late one or 2 slide in.

Thanks trav.

Gosh, thanks for posting last year's results.

Thanks, Trav. Picks sent.

I love this game. IceyP is in.

BUMP

Still a few more of you out there.

I'll be in a bit later today. I sent a note to Spinner, too.

I'm in.

How long until I find out that half of my players are out injured for the season?

I sent my picks in, and I might get a lurker friend of mine to participate, too.

Thanks for the PM. I'm in. Trying to get my buddy to send me his picks too.

I'm in. Trying to improve on my bottom half finish from last season.

*Bensell working out some technical difficulties

Tough to make a hockey nickname out of what is already a hockey nickname, eh? The last one I had (in college) was Shaker. If you try to guess why, well, good luck.

Thanks for the efforts, Zills. Looks great.

Yeah, I was a more than a bit stumped when I got to yours.

Hah! That's hilarious. But, no.

Night 2 in the books <update>

I have a nickname? I'm telling everyone.

Hi, I'm kranepool and I have a problem. (Hi, Kraner!)

I fucked up my highly-analytical roster with bad data and the result is that I have 4 Penguins, which is unfair and against the rules.

If it's ok with the group conscience, I'd like to swap out a Penguin with a player from another team in the same point-class and with the same number of points as the outbound Penguin.

We cool?

Typical Kraner!

Damn it! Took Lucic off my list late.

Ha, slipped past me too! Let me know who you want to swap, not a problem.

Trav, I have my team at 12 points after Day 2, not 6.

Kane=1; Iginla=3.5; Couture=3; Pavelski=4.5. That's my Math, anyway.

Yes, I think I've missed a few.

Full disclosure: I had several beers last night before doing the update at 12:30. Will fix tonight.

Lars Eller just got taken off the ice on a stretcher. Sure am glad I drafted him.

Hey, can I pull a Kranepool and cut him, now?

Day 3 - BuffSoldier rides Damien Brunner to the top

Holy shit.

Game over. man. Game over!

I missed this :(

On vacation in Maui just winding down now and will be home on Tuesday.
It's so weird watching hockey at 6:30am here.
