We will use rtsports.com again. I need to know who is playing this year. We had 10 teams last year, which is optimal. My opinion is 12 would be the max (otherwise we run out of starting RB's, we could push it to 14 but that would kind of suck.) League fee will stay at $50. The site costs $90, the rest will go into the prize pool.
Let's start to figure what day will work for a draft. For those who can't make it, it will be live on the internet so you can sit at home and draft.
Those that played last year. The league is set-up. (Except we need to add and delete teams) Just go to rtsports.com Our Account ID is TOYOTA. The password is what you used last year. If you forgot your password it will e-mail it to you.

I'm playing and am flexible on the draft day. Though stay away from sat/sun if possible. A friday would be good.

I also think we should change the scoring options some. I like the idea of having yardage performance scoring components. But the bonus stuff seemed a bit over weighted last year.
For example wasnt it like 1 pt per 25yards reciving and 3 bonus points for over 100 yards so the difference between 99 yards and 100 yards was 3 and 7 points?!?!
Same thing with running yardage and passing yardage. I liked the kicker scoring last year though.

We can change it. I still want bonus points but we can lower it from 3.

If there is room for me I would like to join this league. A sat. night or sun. day would be better for draft day for me. Prefer not sun the 29th though cause thats my auction draft at work.

If everbody from last year plays and Eric and Mike join we will have 12 teams. Is anybody from last year not playing. I know Jerry and Chad Steiger are playing. Hauser find out if Barney is playing. Someone find out about Trany. What about Joe??

Regular season starts Thursday, Sep 9. We need to have the draft before then. That gives us several weekends still to do the draft.

I think it's just your starters. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1Def... Not sure on tie breakers......

Klaus is correct. Startes get check boxes next to them under lineup. You need to have 2 RB and 2WR as starters or your roster will not be complete.
Good luck this season guys

Not that it's going to make any difference for all of you, but in the name of good sportsmanship I want to wish you all good luck. If you check the lineups you can clearly see my team is far superior to any of your teams.
If you would like to save yourselves a lot of pain and anguish I can provide you with my savings account routing and account number now and Brad can just wire me the money. That way you can all just forget this even happened and start studying for next years draft.

Just talked to Brad - I guess he dosen't have the tie breaker feature enabled. So don't worry about it.

Okay, I forgot to get rid of the tie-breaker when I set up the league. It should be gone now. Ties are pretty rare in a performance league, (there are so many ways to get points), that I don't feel it is necessary to have to analyze your players sitting on the bench in the minute chance you actually are going to tie. Plus ties won't really affect us, 8 teams make the playoffs and we play double headers every week, so one tie really won't effect the standings much.
Also, lineups need to be in tonight for players playing tonight (Colts and Patriots) all other players can be added and removed until gametime on Sunday (EXCEPT TITANS AND DOLPHINS NEED TO BE IN BEFORE GAME TIME ON SATURDAY).

Just a reminder...All transactions(ADD/DROP)for the given week have to be completed by the FIRST game of the week. So for this week that would be today before game time.

Yeah I was watching last night's game playing against BOTH Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrisson...with my only player being Vinatieri.
Hey Mike, how many points are your RB and WR beating my kicker by? 1?
Hauser's probably kicking himself for leaving Dallas Clark on his bench.
Anyway, that's exactly what I was thinking last night Klaus: "Holy shit, who's got Brady?!" Shame about that one interception...that would've been a stellar game.

Yeah, Sunday is on. I will have the laptop on with the scores for FF on them refreshing as usual....
I saw the game was on last night and totally spaced that Brady was playing and flipped right by it. Watched Trump instead Posts: 5484 | From: St. Paul, Mn | Registered: Apr 2002

Add/Drop transactions were accidently set to Thursday morning. I switched them to Wednesday morning, so they should be available now for those who want to make roster changes.

Well another season gone south in a hurry for me. It is dumb luck that I have won any games at all. All of my sleeper picks have gone south. All of my stars are either hurt or performing WAY below standards. Only thing that has saved me has been some anomilous single week performances from mediocer assholes.
And for god sakes i am not going to make the mistake 3 years in a row of scofing at Michal Pittman. A few legal troubles does not reduce the value of a very good almost top tier running back.

Ill trade you for deuce. Propose something not ridiculious. You know I am partial to him.
