Hrm, sounds interesting. Too bad you don't do it for college, I'd jump on that!

Now can more than one person pick the same player?

[[AK]Beaker]

I don't mind sharing a team with someone if more people want to play.

I know Osred and I talked about a combined team (Owner-GM type thing ) if we get more people interested than we have slots.

I am also open to other collaborations, I just think having a team makes watching football more fun.

Oh and trash talking! Gotta have the trash talk!

[[AK]Hylander]

I'll double check - but I think we could go to 12 or more teams if we want. It gets kind of thin if you get too many teams - but I think 12 would be OK. I'll double check though if necessary.

Nope--once they're gone, they're gone.

Typically, the running back is the first-drafted position (A few exceptions, such as Brady and Manning, do exist). But as more teams go toward RB-by-committee, it'll be interesting to see if that trend continues.

I've been in some 12-team leagues that have been a lot of fun. I've been through some 14-team leagues where you're scraping the bottom of the barrel when guys get hurt/have bye weeks.

So how do you decide who gets to pick first? Do you pick a new roster every single week or do you pick at the beginning of the season?

[[AK]Ozzred]

Whole-heartedly agree. Kind of gives you a reason to pay attention to games outside of your home or favorite teams.

Season, then you go from there. Add/Drop players based on performance and health. And of course the art of trading..

[[AK]The Beast]

Draft order is usually determined at random, though another league I'm in that has a fairly consistent roster of owners does the draft order just like the big boys--based on inverse order of last year's finish (with "expansion" teams picking dead last).

With the WIN last year I think it should be random. Am Im going to love to take all your money this year. NEW CPU FOR ME!!

[[AK]Swae]

If you guys go above 10 teams and don't mind a slightly clueless girl joining in the fun, count me in.

[[AK]Beaker]

Swae,

You can share with me or I can team with Osred. I don't care I just like having a team to follow and it's more fun to participate. I don't mind doubling up, after all if 2 people are picking favorites you have a better chance of at least one of them being semi-right .

Same goes for Fight Club.

Or we can have 12 teams that's up to the people who put these things together to decide though. I'm not sure how many teams a league generally supports. I leave that up to the experts.
