of course this means no "certificate of achievement" at the end of the year...

Works for me!

So far we have 5 players:

Aimee
Pokerella
JMurder
GG
Dakota

We're going to need at least three more to get this going, spread the word!!

[AAmaz0n]

Ok I'll donate.

[SGT RJ]

It should go without saying I'm in (defending League Champion!)

Would have posted sooner but I was offline for a few weeks.

[gooseswild]

I followed this last year because you were having more fun than others.

Would take a spot if it's not filled. I played the micro $10 last year if I need a reference

[Aimee]

Looks like that's eight! We can take more up until the draft day, so if anyone else is interested we can do so as long as we end up with an even number. I guess there's no reason to clutter the forum with another thread so we can just stick to this one.

The league will be set up on Yahoo as a head to head league with teams starting a QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR/RB, TE, K, and D. 6 points per TD, all other scoring standard. Draft time is currently schedule for Wednesday, the 29th at 10:30 PM EST. An amount has not yet been decided on but I will propose $20 since there seemed to be interest in bumping it up this year. Invites will only be sent once payment is received and we will cap the league at 12 on a first come first serve basis. So far we have tentative interest from the following TWSS'ers:

Aimee
Pokerella
JMurder
GG
Dakota
AAmazon
SGT RJ
Gooseswild

I can escrow this time around, or if there are any objections we can see if RJ would mind handling it again this year. Please post your preferences as far as the buyin and any suggestions/questions about structure, and once we have that settled we can start getting everyone registered. Should be a fun season!

[Pokerella]

It'd be awesome if we could get 10 people in the league... I personally felt 8 was a bit small last year.

You hardly need to know anything about fantasy football to play- most of us (I think) had never played before last year, myself included, and it was still a lot of fun!

And I'd like to do Amazon Payments again if possible, just tell me who to send it to.

$20 is good, draft date is good. How many on the bench?

[gooseswild]

Draft date is good.

As you want to increase buy in for extra prizes, these were rattling around my head.

Highest single game score.
Keeps more people interested longer? Even after injuries might knock them out of the running.

Toilet bowl.
Yahoo scores all teams all weeks, so the bottom 2 face off the 1st week of the playoffs. idk if it could be punitive, as someone could decide not to participate.

+1

[SGT RJ]

Last year I was the last seed in the playoffs, would not want to play the other low seed for the "toilet bowl".

I'm fine with $20. Also fine with escrowing, or not escrowing, or whatever. Draft time is a little late for old people like me but I'll manage.

[gooseswild]

Errrm, was everyone in the playoffs? I'm talking about the teams with the most losses on the season. They might not be scheduled against each other, but match them up and the winner gets caramels or something.

fmp

Punitive would be the loser wearing Bengals gear, or eating last year's fruitcake. Just harder to enforce.

[SGT RJ]

I get it now. I don't recall if everyone made the playoffs. I think it was just 6/8.
