Alright, thanks for all the feedback...we have 8 members now, and only need at least 2 more for an official league.

Members so far: Marques, George (aqr), Kat, Vangie, Daywalker, Matt (titus21115), George Kuhns, & Craig

Again, this link (http://msn.foxsports.com/fantasy/story/6886008) pretty much explains how fantasy football works.

1. You create your team...name, logo, etc.
2. We have a live 'draft' where every team takes turns drafting real NFL players. We will randomize the draft order once the league is full. 1st round is started by the team with the #1 pick, then team with #2 pick, and so on. The 2nd round goes in reverse...team with the last pick in the 1st has the first pick in the 2nd round, and continues backwards. The draft continues in this manner (alternating each round: 1st to last, then last to 1st) until everyone has a full roster.
3. Your team goes head-to-head against another team in the league each week of the NFL season. Most points by your 'starting lineup' wins.
4. You accumulate points by the stats that the players on your team get in the real games. For example: Every 10 rushing yards is equal to 1 point...if Adrian Peterson is on your team and he runs for 115 yards, you would get 11 points.
5. 6 of the 10 teams will go the playoffs which is very similar to the NFL playoffs. The playoffs begin in Week 14 of the NFL season and the final round is week 16.


Like I said, it may seem a little complex to any newcomers, but it is easy to get the hang of. ESPN does a great job with player analysis (I don't have time to research all these players, why not let someone do it for me?), helping you decide who to play each week, and other tools.

Thank you for all who responded and please send me a PM with your email address if you are interested...it is very fun and I look forward to it every year.  :)

Alright, alright, alright...we're all set!!!!!  ;D

The league is complete with 10 members...thanks to Extol & Samson for securing the last 2 spots.

You all should have received an email from me as well as the draft order. And you read it correctly, KAT has the #1 pick! No pressure Kat!  :D


Have fun everyone and play ball!!!  :)

Kat:
