*only join with the team you SIGNED UP or were GIVEN. If you take a team that isn't yours, you will be booted from the league and your team will be available on Thursday afternoon for reclamation.

You have until 1 pm EST on Thursday, 10-27 to claim your team. At that point, I will open up any remaining teams to the public for another brief signup period.

The FANTASY DRAFT is on 10-29 at 1:30 pm EST. That's 12:30 pm CST, and 10:30 am for those of you out west.

Please understand that I can not please everyone with this draft time.

Also, check out EAsports.com on your laptop or smartphone. You are able to attend the draft LIVE through your smartphone or PC. If you can not make it, please set your pre-draft rankings on the Xbox so you can get some of the players you have in your war room. You will NOT be penalized for not attending the draft. But I believe that 4 and a half days is AMPLE time to set up your draft boards so you aren't stuck with a bunch of players you don't want. I recommend throwing your sleeper picks in the 15-25 range to ensure yourself getting 2-3 of them.

To sign up for our Thursday team refills (prior to draft date), please PM me with the following information:

*Please do not send team requests, as we do not know who will be re-opened come Thursday afternoon.

Please be aware that not everyone who signs up will get in. Priority will go to those that I feel are reliable, responsible, and have a good head on their shoulders to play in this sort of league.

For those of you claiming your teams online, here's the list below. Do NOT claim someone elses team. I could send out invites to everyone, but I'm going to try this first.

KILLAAAAAAA

If someone else wants my team, give it to them. I'll play if you cant find anyone, but I only wanted to do this to draft a team and play and I cant make it. Like I said, if no one else wants the spot, I'll set the board partially and play with whatever I get just not to **** the league, but Id rather not.

Commit to it or don't Tru Statement (I can't have you waivering). I'm not trying to sound rude, lol.

If you set up your top 15-20 players and 5-10 sleepers right behind that...you OUGHT to get your players at the key positions, at the very least.

i hate living on the west coast

okay then, im out

I was just trying to help you by saying I'd play if you couldn't get anyone else but **** it

thanks for the heads up tru, im not mad...sorry if that was the tone...i just wanted you to make a firm choice so i could either go forward with a replacement, or count on u setting a board and joining
