The Tinpot Trophy has now been recreated on ESPN following an ill-timed “inactivity” purge. Invites have been sent out via email. No changes — the scoring is as previously discussed and documented on this site.

The time is upon us, chaps!

I would recommend familiarising yourselves with ESPN’s mock draft simulator, so you’re comfortable with the platform come draft time. It might take a couple of days for ESPN to update their systems with all the schedule and Bye week data.

Their draft UI is, I think, easier and smoother to use than NFL was, so I don’t think the transition should be an issue for anyone. The ESPN app is way better than NFL — cleaner, more stable, and more fun!

There might be an update regarding this season’s matchup scheduling too, so keep an eye out for that. Got something exciting planned that will fix an old NFL problem that I want to run by the boss…

When the season/Fantasy gets underway, I’ll put both NFL and Tinpot fixtures up on the homepage every Tuesday for the coming week. I’ll do a little write-up for our Fantasy games, highlight any “Bowls” and important games. I’ll be logging all the results on the Season 10 page as we go along, which will be on the top-right menu, ready to be archived in the History at the end of the year.
