Official SB Fantasy Football League - sign up details + rules debate

<u>Official Sports Betting forum Fantasy Footbal League (SBFFL): Sign up details and rules debate</u>

NOTE THAT OFFICIAL DOES NOT MEAN IN ANY WAY SPONSORED OR SANCTIONED BY 2+2 just the "official" FFL organized through this, the Sports Betting forum, much in the same way the 3+1 picks challenge is not sponsored by 2+2 but is the "official" picks challenge of this forum.

We'll be drafting and playing on ESPN: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/frontpage

Ten to twelve players (teams) per league. We'll run as many leagues (divisions) as we had interest.

Live draft, of course. Here is the NEW NEW draft schedule:

Wednesday August 23rd
Hall of Fame ($200) : 10:15pm CST (11:15pm EST, 8:15pm PST)
Pro Bowl ($100) : 10:45pm CST (11:45pm EST, 8:45pm PST)

Thursday August 24th
Veteran ($50) : 8:45pm CST (9:45pm EST, 6:45pm PST)
Rookie ($25) : 9:45pm CST (10:45pm EST, 7:45pm PST)



Note that the times were all pushed back 15 minutes, except the Rookie draft thursday which was pushed FORWARD 15 minutes.
ESPN jacked up the start times on the Hall of Fame draft, so those had to be pushed back several hours.

See this post to vote for your top date range...

Payout format: 40%/30%/20%/10% structure for the top four if leagues are 10-12 players. 50%/30%/20% if leagues are 8 man.

Before anyone asks, I'd limit it to one thread per week on the topic of the SBFFL, as to not clutter the forums with it.

Here's the sign-up list. If you're interested, post here or send me a PM with the stakes you'd be interested in playing. I'm willing to start an interest list for any stakes.

==================================
SBFFFL Rules and details
==================================

We used the the default Yahoo rules as a starting point. I am intrigued by some of the Sports Guys suggestions on how to improve Fantasy Football however.

Major details, kept up to date if we agree on any changes:

we will go for 10 or 12 teams per league. More than 12 dilutes the pool too much, in my opinion.

Starting rosters will be 1 QB; 3 WR; 2 RB; 1 TE; 1 K; 1 DEF (team).
Teams will have 15 total players, so six bench players (any position). No injured reserve beyond the bench.

We will use a Free Agent / Waivers system.

Regular season will run from week 1 to week 14. we'll have two playoff brackets: the top four teams (1vs4, 2vs3) for a superbowl and the next four for a toilet bowl. postseason will be week 15 and 16.
