    Commissioner's Early Notes

    It's getting closer to that time of year and I thought I'd make a post to get some discussion started on where we left off last year in terms of collecting franchise fees in order to offer some prize money.

    I know things may be a little tighter this year than last, so I thought I would take a status report on who would be interested in a franchise fee of $25.00 which would go towards a prize fund? I think we'll probably stick with Yahoo!, but I will also look around just in case something looks interesting.

    If interested, add your name to the list below:

    1) Hylander
    2)
    3)
    4)
    5)
    6)
    7)
    8)

    I am fine with $25, but I can't go any higher than that.
    I can certainly understand the reasoning behind it...

    Hey Everyone, Considering I'm currently out of any FFL, let me know if you have spot open up and are open for a non-[AK] entry. I promise to keep my roster up to date, and am fine with whatever is decided on as far as competitive fees / buy-ins.

    You are added to the list - so we stand at 7 right now. I think we are looking at $25 buy in toward the prize fund. Although I highly suggest people spend $9.99 on the stat tracker - it rocks. I'll be setting this up in the next few weeks.

    1) Hylander
    2) Bribo
    3) Devil Dog
    4) Camelwalk
    5) Faxman
    6) Beast
    7) Osred

    It's been years since I followed football avidly.

    But if it's a chance to beat Camel, Osred, Bribo, Beast etc... and the like.......

    I would like to take a stab at it if you have room, I know yall have "regulars" though so if there is no room I'm cool with that too.

    This is slightly off the topic of the thread, but FFL has always kinda fascinated yet utterly confused me. How exactly does it work? I've done a lot of pots for different sports where you predict the winners for each game and whoever has the most at the end of the season wins some cash, but I can tell this is quite different.

    Anyone up for giving me a quick and dirty summary?

    Sure! We get together in what amounts to a Yahoo chat room at a set time (Ventrilo optional, but makes for more fun with verbal trash talk) and draft a roster of NFL players. Then when the season starts, you put together your starting lineup for that week based on how you think the players will do (you have a set number of players at each position, and a "bench" of players whose stats don't count for that week). You get points based on your players' individual stats for that week. (Yards = points, TDs = more points, QBs throwing INTs = negative points. There are other categories but those are the biggies.) Each week, you're matched up against another team in the league. Highest score in each fantasy "game" wins. At the end of the season, the top few teams compete in the playoffs (during the last few weeks of the regular season.) Standard single-elimination format--win or go home. Winner takes all!
