Here's the PM I sent out to all returning players - I suggest reading this if you want to join.
Note: Anything in red wasn't included in the original PM.

$200 Auction A
$200 Auction B
$200 2QB Snake
The 2QB will be a 10-team league. The rest will be 12-team leagues. All leagues will be on ESPN.
I will not be offering any more leagues or any leagues with a different buyin. Sorry for not offering leagues with a different buy-in. I'm trying to limit the range of my leagues. In previous years I've won leagues that didn't even cover the cost of some of my higher leagues. I'm also trying to limit the number of leagues I play in this year.
All leagues with will have ESPN default settings with the following adjustments;
- Fractional Scoring
- PPR
- 3 WR spots
- Modified TD/INT scoring for QBs. 1 QB leagues will be 4/-1. The 2 QB league will be 6/-2.
- Modified defensive scoring (No points/penalties for yards allowed. The rest is ESPN standard)
- No Divisions
- Playoffs will be w14-w16. 6 Teams, top 2 seeds get a first round bye
- Waiver Order will be a season long list (aka does not reset each week) (This only applies to Snake drafts)
- 200 FAAB (Auction leagues only)
- $0 minimum bid (Auction leagues only) Changed - explanation below.
- Trade deadline of Thrus. Nov. 26th at 12pm EST
- 24 hours trade review with ONLY Commissioner Veto. If you believe a trade should be vetoed, contact me ASAP. FYI - I will only veto trades that appear to be some form of collusion. We are all putting money up for this, I'm not protecting any player from making a bad trade.
- Draft order will be determined once the league fills and all payments are received. It will be randomized using this tool ; http://www.fftoolbox.com/draft_order_generator.cfm Basically, I put in everybody's Team name AND e-mail, and once it is randed, it's automatically sends out an e-mail to all teams. So there is no way for me to rig the order or redo it. (Snake only)
- 60 second draft timer (Snake only, duh)
- Starting timer for auctions will be set to 10 seconds. This is not how long you have to nominate a player, this is how long you have to bid on said player. Last year we realized this was way too long.
- Missed PAT = -1
- No penalty for Missed FGs of 50+
In auction leagues, any players who clear waivers become free agents. This is standard for ESPN but new for this year, so I thought I'd add it. For this reason I changed to minimum bid from $0 to $1 ($1 is standard anyway)
Note: If any leagues currently have settings inconsistent with the above, I reserve the right to change them to fit the above. Example - If I forgot to add PPR scoring to a league, you may not join and wait till after the draft to say "LOL it's no PPR, you all drafted like it was! Suckers!" If you see an inconsistency, please let me know so I can fix them.
That should cover it, but here are the links to the settings.
Snake A
Snake B
Auction A
Auction B
2 QB
Again, if you see any inconsistencies with the settings in the league and the settings above, please let me know.
Draft times;
Snake A - Monday September 7th at 8pm EST
Snake B - Tuesday September 8th at 10pm EST
Auction A - Monday September 7th at 10pm EST
Auction B - Tuesday September 8th at 8pm EST
2 QB - Sunday September 6th at 8pm EST
Snake/Auction Payouts
1st - $1400
2nd - $600
3rd - $200
Most points (Regular Season) - $200
2 QB Payouts
1st - $1100
2nd - $500
3rd - $200
Most points (Regular Season) - $200
All payouts will be issued the Thursday after the final day. This is to protect against any possible Title/3rd place games being changed via stat correction. Yes, that includes those who win most points.
Payments
I will accept PayPal or a check. Payment deadlines will be one week before the draft day at 8pm EST. If you miss your deadline, you will immediately be dropped and I will move on to an alternate. Please keep in mind that the sooner all payments are collected, the sooner the draft order can be determined.
Do not send any payments until I ask for them.
I will allow everybody to reserve as many spots as you had last year. If you played in one league, you may reserve one spot. Two leagues, two spots, etc...
I plan to post a sign-up thread for new players August 2nd. If you have not reserve a spot by then, you risk losing your spot.
---------------------------
P.S. Sorry if I send this to some of you twice.
If you want in, here's how this works.
1) Post "in" and tell me which leagues you want to in
2) PM me your e-mail address so I can send the invite and tell me how you would like to pay
3) I will e-mail you confirming I have sent an invite and give you the payment details you need.
Even if you still have it from last year, please do not send any payments until I ask for them.
4) PM me back telling me you have sent your payment. If you send via PayPal, please tell me the e-mail address it was sent from. If you send a check, please tell me the name on the check. This way I know who has paid and who has it.
5) Once I confirm the payment, you are good to go.
6) Once the entire league has paid, the draft order will be randed.
The deadline to pay will be exactly one week from the draft day at 10pm EST. Notice that means the earliest your deadline will be is Sunday August 30th. This is plenty of time to send a payment. Again,
the faster you pay, the faster I can randomize the draft order. If you do not make the payment deadline, I will look for a replacement
immediately.
I will be taking alternates for all leagues. Every year I have a few people drop out or fail to pay by the deadline. It's really nice to have people ready to go in that event. If you are an alternate, once the deadline passes, please be prepared to send a payment ASAP as it's possible your spot only opens a week before the draft or less.
To show I don't suck as an escrow;
2015 Fantasy Payouts - $18,900 in funds.
2014 Fantasy Payouts - $6,000 in funds.
2015 SB Squares Pools - $5,000 in funds
2014 SB Squares Pool - $2,500 in funds.
Cliffs:
Join my leagues
I run them pretty well
I pay out timely
