Season 6... I'm pathetic. Overnight me some Raisin' Canes, so I may wallow in self-pity. It's once again time to face fantasy hell with the 20-team fantasy league! Enjoy the struggles of having to select between Chris Ivory or Marcus Lattimore for your RB1 for your win-or-go-home game against the guy starting Sam Bradford. Silently weep yourself to sleep over the fact that if you had only taken a DEF before you decided to take a backup WR, you'd be dominating the league. The 20-team fantasy league enters its SIXTH season this year, and as any of the vets can tell you, it is a BLAST. To the vets (and former members), please make sure you claim your spot soon. This waiting list is starting to become longer than Green Bay's. LITERALLY ALL THE RULES ARE HERE, READ THEM (no, veterans, there is no hidden prize this year, I promise) DRAFT IS CURRENTLY SET FOR Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 8:30 PM ET (although this is negotiable) Members All but one of y'all returned, proving once again this league owns hard. The window has passed. Sorry y'all. Scoring This can be debated, but I think we've settled on the scoring. Return yards have worked very well for the league's depth, particularly for the D/STs. For quick reference, here it is: BREAKDOWN The draft *does* take time, but really the roster is smaller than most. Most people seemed happy with the way the rosters were last year, but we are always up for debate to expand it (contracting is out of the question). Last year, we voted to expand the rosters to: QB, RB, WR, RB/WR/TE, RB/WR/TE, TE, D/ST, K, 5 BE, 2 IR DRAFT We will be doing a live draft again, and the less said about the literally day-long offline draft we did during season 1 the better (so don't loving ask to do an offline one). I'm amenable to changing the draft date *a little*, but I really want to keep it as is unless too many of us miss it. Please plan your schedules accordingly. Set your rankings, and get a friend to draft for you if need be (better option). DRAFT ORDER SET! YOU MAY TRADE PICKS NOW! LEAGUE SCHEDULING I have yet to set up the schedules. As the vets know, this takes me time to do... I'm a lazy sack of poo poo and often wait til opening Thursday to do it. your schedule will look like this: -8 division games -3 conference games -2 OoC games We keep the same divisions, as always. If a division wants to change their name. The AFC and NFC conferences will be placed on other ends of the real playoffs when the time comes. If you can't understand which is which, . PLAYOFF BERTHS I could have sworn I had a section on this, but since I am asked this every year, I'm putting it in the OP. IGNORE THE ESPN PLAYOFF BERTHS, THEY ARE WRONG. The playoff berths are determined using the ACTUAL RULES THE NFL HAS. In some cases, I skip a tie-breaker, like "margin of victory", because you cannot control how the other team scores.

LEAGUE WAIT LIST PROCEDURES, IN DETAIL This is to be explicit about the entry procedures, in case it isn't clear enough from above. Like last year, I'm not PM'ing past wait listers because ultimately, it's the same race to see who I have (slightly) updated the policy from last year, wait listers now get 72 hours (instead of last year's 48) to re-claim priority over this year's wait listers. POLICIES ARE BELOW POLICY 1) All active members get until the end of the month to re-claim their spot. IF THEY DO NOT **ALSO** POST IN THE LEAGUE FORUM TO LET ME KNOW THEY CAN ACCESS IT, THEY WILL BE BOOTED, REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH THEY'VE INDICATED INTEREST OTHERWISE POLICY 2) All members of last year's wait list get 72 HOURS to re-claim their spot. POLICY 2A) Last year's waiting list members are in a competition with each other. That is, their old position no longer matters. I realize this is a little unfair to people who can post from work. I am sorry about that, but the way I look at it, the more active a poster is, the better the league thread is. A poster who used to be very active may not be as active anymore. POLICY 2B) Last year's waiting list members, so long as they post in this thread within 72 hours of it going up, will get preferred placement over guys who are entering (or re-entering) the fray. POLICY 3) Everyone else gets put in the order they respond to the thread. POLICY 4) If you are called up from the wait list, you have 24 hours to respond. AGAIN, the wait list has gotten so that some people have been waiting *years* to get into the league. That is why the "old" wait list guys get preferred treatment, because they keep re-upping. No system is perfect, but I really try my best to be as fair to as many people as possible. JetsGuy fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Jul 9, 2014 |

Also, I moved, so I guess I need a new team name. PS: QUACK QUACK MOTHERFUCKER e: Changed team name to 'Good Rooster' in honor of one of our 2 roosters.

Back for more, and I believe the first season draft took something like a week, until it all got rushed through in one long day to finish it.
