Re: Fantasy Football League
Just to give a little bit more of how it works, for those who might not be sure -
It starts with a Live Draft, which means you have to be there to pick your teams. If, for whatever reason you can't make it, Yahoo will auto-pick your team for you. This works on a ranking system which is pulled from last year's performance. Say, for example, Peyton Manning is 1, Tom Brady is 2, Larry Johnson is 3, etc (not actual, just for conversation sake). If you are not there, and you are slotted to pick #2, if the first pick was not Tom Brady, you will get him. So, it kind of works out well for you 😀
Once we have our league set, i.e. enough people (I think 20 is a bit high, may lower it to 10 or 12), we can take a poll on when is the best time for everyone to attend the draft. I know there are different timezones here, so we can be flexible about it, find out when the best time is everyone, etc.
Then, basically you just have to have your "team" setup each week. You will have bench players, which come in handy when other players are on a "bye week" (each team gets 1 week off of the 17, so they only play 16 games).
The league format is heads up, so each team plays agains another team each week, therefore it will be in a W-L-T format.
Weeks 15 and 16 are the playoffs, as week 17 usually most starters don't play much because most teams have locked up the playoffs by then.
Hope that helps out a little 🙂
