Rocky Horror Roto Show 2011/12

[horrorfan]

Welcome to the Rocky Horror Roto Show - a new one-year rotisserie league for the 2011/12 season. This league comprises of only Dobberhockey members, many of whom you will recognise as being very active on the forums. It will be based on Yahoo, so it won't officially get started until early September when the fantasy site is open for business. There has been plenty of discussion already so it's gearing up to be a good one!

The purpose of creating a thread is to make this league more interactive with the rest of the Dobberhockey community, and allow those managers more active on the forums to trash talk in public!

Once the draft is completed, I will list each team's roster for further analysis, praise or even ridicule! Over the course of the season, I'll update the standings on a regular basis. Most other discussion is fair game, as I want this league to be interactive. However, specific league issues will remain on the league board, as to not exclude those who don't use the forums as often.

Without further ado, here are the managers of the first ever Rocky Horror Roto Show:

I think this is going to be a good league - excellent competition for one, but a nicely designed league as well. Thanks for doing this Horrorfan.

Here are the league specs:

12 team, rotisserie, 82 game max per position: 4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G, 5B, 2IR
Scoring (9x4): G, A, +/-, PIM SOG, PPP BS, Hits, FOW, W, SV%, SV, GAA

Draft order randomized by yahoo at time of draft. Draft Date: September 17th, 2011 - just trying to find a suitable draft time was interesting - there are folks from at least 9 different time zones around the world.

Should be fun.

[dyzfunctioned]

Thanks for setting everything up Brandon.

Should be a fun league.

How's this for smack talk? In my first ever year of fantasy hockey (2007) I won the only league I played in, it was a 12 team roto. My hockey knowledge doesn't compare to what it is now, but that's something I can take to the bank .

[butch]

you guys should make team names to honor the great horror films.

Doesn't count as a win when you managed all 12 teams

[kluu]

Totally pumped up. Imma call myself the underdog around these parts

Huh? I don't get it lol. I played in a public league with nobody I had ever met before. What's the joke here? Dammit Dyz lol

I like that idea Butch. I'll suggest it, thanks.

[Shoeless]

I think Smack already went there, he sent me an email that said he was going to make all of us his bitches and his team name is going to be "Silence of the Dams"

[dmvincent]

Alright, well IF we do this I'm going to be The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Good luck . I will execute all my opponents...mwahahaha.

[4T2]

Can't wait for this league to start up, should be great competition. May end up dragging my Yahoo winning percentage down, but to be the best, you have to beat the best.

Loving the Horror movie names idea, trying to think of a few.

Wishing I could make "The Blob" work somehow but all I can think of is that it reminds me of Hal Gill.

If we're going to allow us to play on words, I claim "House of 1000 Orpiks"

If not I would like to take "The Devil's Rejects"

[horrorfan]

No problem with a play on words - like the horror/hockey combo. Like my avatar!

[smack]

I'm using this movie as my name, just haven't figured out how to use the time for a play on words with hockey.

Best Horror Movie

I think I'm going with Little Sharp Ov Horrors.
