Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!?!

It is that time of year again... The contracts are signed and players are in camp and Fantasy football is just getting underway...

So I want to throw out gauntlet down and start signing people up for year 2!


This will be a 10 team, head-to-head league with a buy in of 5000g.

There will be a LIVE draft, through the Yahoo interface.
The Regular season starts Thursday September 8th, so I am trying to set up the draft for Weds. the 7th, so as not to conflict with Raid nights or the Holiday weekend.





Why a buy in?

First of all I wanted there to be a prize to contend for and second, we had several people sign up last year and then just stopped playing. Throwing in a fairly substantial amount of gold at this might help keep people active.

Once I get things set up on Yahoo, I will post the league info here!




Please post if you are interested! (or know someone that might be.)
Hopefully we can get 10 guildees this year...

Probably should toss something in there for Passing yards like one for every 25 yards or 20 yards or something.

a 400 yard game with 0 touchdowns is still a darn good game.

As last year, if there is a buy in, I will be sitting out

I just rechecked and I forgot to list that stat, thanks!

as long as you fill up, count the wife, she's in.

I'll do it and passing year is normally 1 pt every 30 yards seeing as a 300 yard passing game Is like a 100 yard rushing game

I'm in again

count me in!!

So that gives us 6?, so far...

Me
Mrs. Bell
RAY
R'n'C
Brenstel
And you know Cremate is a sucker and will be in!
EDIT:
Alterboy
Nnem


So that leaves 2 openings!

I will get the league set up tomorrow afternoon, so people can start joining up...

Also, last year, I held on to the gold through the season, but this year it is going to be a fairly significant sum... so if anyone has an issue, I am sure I could convince Bell to let me deposit it in the Guild Bank for the duration of the season...

me me me

I will like to join a well

I would love to come take all you guys' money for a 2nd year... but I have a lot of things going on in RL right now, and I'm not sure I could put any attention to monitoring it on a weekly basis. Ill get back to you before the deadline.

with Cremate waffling, we have seven committed at the moment...


I set the draft up for Weds. Sept 7th at 7:30 so clear your calendar! that is the day before the season starts!

the FF league thingy said that there was no more room left

wife says its full too... maybe take out the teams from last year.

That seems to be the case.
I didn't realize I needed to reset the league from last year.
I have taken care of it and there should be room for everyone to join in... thanks for your patience!
