Alright, we are BACK, ladies and gentlemen. Before we start, let's get into some ground rules and other dealings:
1) First, the most important info of all: The League Info!
League ID#: 78490
League Name: ATRL Fantasy Football 2012
Password: sinkgelleydisk
Custom League URL:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo....e/atrlfootball
Draft Type: Live Standard Draft
Draft Time: Thu Aug 16 7:30pm EDT
2) Currently, the team limit is ten. If the demand calls for it, we will move that number up to 12, but no more than that. Somehow, I don't expect there to be that much demand.
3) This is a PPR league. What this means is that you receive a point for every reception made by a wide receiver, running back or tight end. Keep this in mind when taking part in the draft, because this is CRUCIAL.
4) The roster structure is as followed:
Starters:
1 QB
2 WR
2 RB
1 TE
2 FLEX (Wide Receiver/Running Back and Wide Receiver/Tight End)
Defense/Special Teams
Kicker
There are also six bench spots to fill.
The biggest change to this year's structure is the addition of a second Flex spot to place a Wide Receiver or Tight End.
5) The actual draft, as mentioned above, will be held on Thursday, August 16th at 7:30pm EDT/6:30pm CDT. If you absolutely cannot show up to the actual draft for ANY reason, please try to fill out a pre-draft ranking ahead of time to try and ensure that you get the players that YOU want. This time and date can be changed if the need is there, though.
6) This league is for American football. There's a part of me that is considering running an ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL league as well, though, so remind me sometime about that.
Now, some other notes:
7) I don't normally hand out advice to my opponents, but here's one that I must stress: do *NOT* pick a kicker until the last round, especially if you are at the actual draft (which I hope all of you who do sign up will be). Just trust me.
8) I stress every year to have fun, because this is what this league is all about. Hell, for me, this year will be a means of escape as my actual NFL team sucks hard enough to be in the running for Andrew Luck.
9) And finally, if you have any suggestions to make on changes that could be made to make the league better, PLEASE let me know. I am always open to suggestions on what could be done to improve your experience.
Here's to a fun season! And show up for the draft!
