In, but isn't that early for draft? Sure would be nice to see a couple or three preseason games first.

My other league drafted early July. I think early drafts make tradeing, and add/drops a bigger part of the game. To me thats where the real fun is.

Those would be "keeper" leagues, big difference. I mean, whatever, its an even playing field for everybody, just saying.

Suggestion: it'd be nice if everyone's registered name was their UBB handle from here, makes it easier to know who's who. Easily changed for those who have their real-world names up - from the league screen, click "Options", change the "Your Name" field, click "Submit".

Agreed...I'd like to see BBS names matched to FF registered names.

how it works..everyone puts in $ amount, like $100 for the full season. Get 100 people in, that makes pool $10k.

Before games are played each week, person has to put in 1 team they want to win, no point spreads, just straight up winner. If your team wins, you advance to the next week. If team doesn't win, you are out for the season.

You can only pick a team once during the season. After you pick a team, you can no longer pick that team for the remainder of the season.

At the end of the season, whoever is left splits the pot. At any point, if unanimous, the pot can be split by all remaining players. Example, if 5 players remain in week 14, they could all decide to split the pot.

I played last year, had 370 entries for $37k. I went out in like week 10. I think 7 people made it to the end. Same group this year is trying to get total 700 to play. Definately makes gameday bit more interesting.

can I be the bookie

Promise ill only take whats rightfully mine.

I get to choose the games you can play on tho.

I'd like to try it, but have no idea how it works (not the signing up part, but the actual fantasy play thing) and dummy me cannot find anything about how it works at that WEB site. Any links to explain this stuff to a newb?

PuckIt · « **Reply #27 on:** August 02, 2006, 01:38:06 PM »

This may help

Yep, Pucks got it.

In a nutshell for easy maintenance, each week you are sent emails from the NFL Fantasy league giving the status of your pre-selected (by draft) players. You simply make sure that the player you have, for say, the 2 QB positions your team carries, are both playing in the upcoming week (No BYE week). You confirm your roster and the outcome of the game does the rest. Points for how many yards, TD's an offensive player has. Defenses are a total of yards allowed, points scored, and Special Team scores. Its really very simple, I was intimated by FF for years until me brother in law convinced me to join a league. Takes about 5 minutes of your time each week to maintain your league, or you can spend endless hours researching players and doing trades with others, or putting your less-than-expected players on the Waiver wires and picking up new players to replace them.

If I'm not mistaken, you get something like:
1 QB's
2 WR's
2 RB's
1 TE
1 Kicker
1 DST (team defense and Special Teams)

The points they produce week in and week out affects the results that your team produces.

Each NFL.com Fantasy 2006 league will consist of 12 teams, divided into three divisions of 4 teams each. The divisions will be called: East, Central, and West.

Each roster will consist of 14 NFL players. Owners may select a starting lineup each week from these 14 players. The chart below lists the required number of players at each position for the 'starting lineup' and the 'draft'.
