It's almost that time again. Last year we survived without anybody trying to rig the season and it was pretty fun. For some reason it's hard to get enough serious contenders but maybe this year will be different.

I am currently a two-time champion for this here event...can you dethrone me? Probably not. Haha.

Anyways, this is just a post to see who's down this year. If anybody wants to run the league this year let me know. I'll probably be very busy so I don't want to run it unless I have to.

I will play. I don't expect to do very well, but I haven't tried any fantasy sports before, so it should be fun!

Yeah I'd like to try this.  I've never done any of these fantasy sports things either, so I figure now is a good time as ever to give it a shot.  If anyone has like a guide or something about these that would be helpful too because I don't know squat abuot them really though :(

Atari:
You can find a lot of resources on fantasy football on the ol web. Just google it and go to any random site you find. Most likely you'll find something of use. The most important part, short of knowing the rules, is having a fair amount of knowledge about all the players; specifically offensive players.

I would like to request that we don't have the draft between Aug. 30 - Sept. 2. If this is not possible, at least NOT on Aug. 30th. Thanks!

There are no fractional and no negative points.

The positions for your roster are as follows:
Quote
QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

Its gonna be a live online draft (I missed it the last few seasons though): Your live online draft is set for Wed Aug 29 8:15pm PDT, which is 8 days, 8 hours, and 42 minutes from now. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time. You can rank your players up until 45 minutes before your draft.

Is this time good for everyone? If not, I can change it..

Make sure that you post WHO YOU ARE. I'll be using my trademark team name 'The Immortalz'.. We've had some people in the past have double accounts and unfair trades and the works and we want this to be corrupt-free this year. Make sure that when you sign up, THAT YOU SAY WHAT YOUR TEAM NAME IS!

Hopefully I'll be able to watch this thing at least once a week. Goodluck to everyone!

Also, possibly more points (4) for 50+ field goals?

Yeah I was thinking about that too and I'll do that... How about 5 points? 50+ yards is a rarity and is an incredible feat when made.. That distance is ALMOST half of the entire length of the field (Due to the fact that the goal posts are at the end of the endzones, which adds another 10-15 yards on each end).

Hrmmm...5 people will make for a really awful season.
Perhaps we should make this public if we don't get any more.

I don't think you missed it.  I've been waiting for awhile now, and the draft window hasn't popped up yet.  It was supposed to start about 5 minutes ago.
