RokoMotion Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Despite dropping a 50$ deposit to guarantee a spot in the league, one of the teams in our 12 team league dropped today, a week before the draft. It's looking like it will be difficult to fill the slot. It almost feels like the year is sort of cheapened without a full 12 team docket, like my team won't be standard strength, etc. Has this ever happened to you, and did you feel like the year wasn't as special? How should I feel at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 You have a week to fill the spot, right? Or is there a reason why you cannot fill the spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Should be easy to get a replacement owner who will get a 50 dollar discount on league dues... unless it was your wife, and she's leaving you too.... then you might be bummed, especially if she makes more money than you do.

Youre Going Down Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) I had it happen to me in 1999 but worse. Draft night 3 didn't show of 12. That year it was no fun because all teams were pretty stacked with easy line up decisions to make(won it BTW). The following year we went to 15 teams so it wouldn't happen again, and we have been 15 strong ever since.

Grits and Shins Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 One of our owners didn't show up to the draft. In his defense he got caught up and work and couldn't come ... but none-the-less we were without an owner., Another owner and I drafted the team and sold it to the sone of one of the other owners in the leauge.

Ziachild007 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Last time I had a guy not show, the remaining 11 each drafted a pick for him(in the order we drafted). As LUCK would have it, the guy who bought the team won it that year without hardly making any trades or waiver moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 This is why IMO all leagues should have a rule that you have to pay at least 1 month before the draft (more or less). If they pay but still a no-show, everyone else drafts first and they can pick what's left on FA wire for the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
