I only run this league anymore because I hate myself

It's once again time to face fantasy hell with the 20-team fantasy league! Enjoy the struggles of having to select between Teddy Bridgewater or Sam Bradford for your RB1 for your win-or-go-home game against the guy starting Nick Foles. 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.

:siren:CURRENT DRAFT IS LISTED AT Sun, Aug 28, 2016, 9PM EASTERN TIME:siren:

The 20-team fantasy league enters its EIGHTH 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. Unlike previous years, I'm just keeping the wait list in perpetuam from henceforth. Whatever.

:siren:LITERALLY ALL THE RULES ARE HERE, READ THEM:siren:
(no, veterans, there is no hidden prize this year, I promise)

:siren:Members:siren:
Priority goes to the 19 lucky gents (and 1 gal) who got into the league last year. These guys will have til about Aug. 7th to tell me IN THIS THREAD that they are going to participate (even if you have already through PM/in the season 5 thread). I am not psychic, and I really don't keep up with HILARIOUS FORUM JOKES, so I do not know if you've changed your username, so you know, lemme know if you did that. Also, if you're changing your team name, tell us so we can update the OP. IF YOU ARE A RETURNING MEMBER, ALSO POST IN THE LEAGUE PAGE TO CONFIRM YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ.

Second priority goes to wait list people. There's no more games with having to post within the three day window like last seasons. I'm too old to deal with that poo poo. If you were on the wait list from last year, you're below. If you want to be added to the wait list, post and I will add you first come first serve.

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 will be randomized after the league is officially filled. IF YOU TRADE DRAFT PICKS BEFORE THE DRAFT ORDER IS DETERMINED, THESE WILL BE RESET.

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. Dan Marino division - best division. If a division wants to change their name, lemme know. 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, :frogout:.

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. :siren:IGNORE THE ESPN PLAYOFF BERTHS, THEY ARE WRONG:siren:. 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.

Useless me finally updated the thread. A bunch of y'all haven't signed up yet, a few haven't signed up in the ESPN forum.

Honestly though, I don't give that much of a gently caress about that hoop if you're a veteran. I assume you know what the gently caress you're doing.

Feel free to harass everyone on the yet to sign up list

Looking pretty likely this year. Generally we only lose one or two, but it seems like we're due for a turnover like S1.

If the Hot Dog Heroes don't return it'll be the first change in the Bart Starr/Tony Romo division since S2
