    Default Dobber's 3-Tiered Invational - EXPANDS

    [quote]
    Within a day or two, we will be setting dates for the Expert/Pro/Entry division drafts. As of now, nobody has confirmed participation (because I haven't asked), but here are the invites.

    Expert League:
    Russ Miller
    Dobber
    Doulos
    Ian Fergusson
    Jeff Angus
    Notch
    Ryan Ma
    Lanky
    Chris Burns
    Brent Lemon
    Youth Injection (last year's Pro winner)
    Grizzlies (last year's Pro runner up)

    Pro League 1
    Chicleteur
    87flyer
    Crazynuck
    rattus rattus
    Loki
    Fergie
    Zorro
    smoothfun
    FOUR others

    Pro League 2
    Jobbers (last year's Entry winner)
    Capitals (last year's Entry runner up)
    Jason Arbuthnot (Frozen Pool)
    Rob Conte (Dobber Nation sales manager)
    Justin Goldman
    SEVEN others


    The "others" will go by most posts in this forum. Current order of invites is: NYR9394, ultrawhiteness, playmaker26, sentium, duballstar, sin bin, mister mcgoo, Mapletree Marty, Smack1919, joos, hockeyislife.

    If any of these 11 decline, then the "reserve" invites go to Pete, metaldude, Praba and Ben10Rules.

    Entry League - FOUR Divisions of 15
    Orr Fan
    Psychotic Bunch
    58 new players

    If you are interested in getting into the Entry League, you must:
    1. Have purchased the Fantasy Guide
    2. Have not been in this before
    3. E-mail me at dobber(at)dobberhockey.com by September 10th. I will draw 13 names from the entries.

    Rules are the same as last year, except we will be limiting the IR spots to THREE. Last year we didn't have a limit and somebody just grabbed all IR players off the wire and reserved them.

    Categories are G A +/- PIM PPP SOG W GAA SV
    You get a $100 pretend budget for a weekly bid on available players. More details will be provided if you are one of the participants.

    Expert Division. Tentative draft date Thursday Sept 10 at 8:30 pm ET

    The Pro and Entry leagues will have their draft over the two weeks following that date. To be advised.




    We expanded this due to the overwhelming demand and the fact that Shoeless has volunteered to commish the four Entry Leagues. Each league winner will move up to the next Tier. If you are one of the 56 non-winners in the Entry League this year, you are out for next year. This ensures that 56 new people can play every year.

    15-Team Keeper, points only, best 12 fwd, 4 dman, 2 G count. Playoffs count.

    Holy crap, that's awesome Dobber! This is quickly turning into a massive league of awesomeness.

    If you need a hand running any of it I'd love to help out. I was going to create a multi-tier league similar to what we have here but why recreate the wheel.

    I think this could just be the tip of the iceberg for something in the future.

    I'll consider that - maybe 2nd can stay to play next year...not a bad thought.

    Does this mean that only the winner's of Pro League 1 and 2 advance to the Expert League?

    I'm definitely in, Dobber. I just don't know if I can handle Dub and McGoo in another league. . .
    We get one of these - Don't waste it.

    Great news. Thanks for expanding Dobber. Looking forward to doing some humbling (or more likely getting my ass handed to me). Either way, it will be fun.
