    Flash Flash Revolution Fantasy Football

    NOTE: You don't sign up in this thread, you sign up at Yahoo! at the link provided later.

    Since there's been enough of a calling for it recently, here it is.

    First off, DON'T SIGN UP IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE. I don't want any Mindfields-style dead weight.

    Now, this league is hosted on Yahoo!, so if you're lol pr0 at this you know where to go. If you're new or stupid (or just lazy), here's a quick link.

    Play Yahoo Fantasy Football for free. Create or join a fantasy football league, draft players, track rankings, get expert advice, and more!


    League ID: 182645
    Password: Synthdarkness

    Current draft time is set for Monday, August 28th at 7 PM Eastern. I think everyone who's in school will be home by then (hopefully no collegiate folks will be moving in that evening). I expect people to not forget, but odds are I'll be bumping this topic a week or so beforehand anyway. Of course, if a sufficient number of people can't make it, I'm willing to change it, but Yahoo! has limited availability so be aware that it may not be possible to change to a time you want. Also I'm most likely going to be a selfish jerk and not agree to a time change I can't make. >_>

    Weekly competition is Head-to-head. Positions are as follows:

    1 QB
    2 RB
    3 WR
    1 RB/WR
    1 TE
    1 K
    1 Defense (team)
    8 bench spots

    I may add things depending on attendance (low number of participants may lead to extra QB and/or Defense spots).

    Scoring is mostly standard fare. I'm allowing 6 points for a passing TD because fantasy football is already insanely biased toward RBs and I don't see a need to widen the gap. Changes include 1 point for every 20 return yards (keep this in mind when drafting backup RBs/WRs; this only applies to individuals, however, so team defenses will not be rewarded) and -1 for every PAT missed or FG under 20 yards missed because if you're missing at that range you deserve to be punished.

    Playoffs are set to Weeks 15 and 16 (4 teams). Again, depending on participation, this may be bumped up to 6 or 8 teams (which would make playoffs start Week 14).

    Obviously, these settings are my preference, but I'm open to change on just about anything if there's a large enough outcry for it.

    I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

    I'll be joining at least one for school with my friends, so I don't know if I'll be willing to do 3 or 4, but I'll probably join this.

    The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.

      The good thing about fantasy football is that it normally only requires your attention two or three times a week. It's not terribly hard to keep track of a couple of leagues.

          This is actually the first one we've done.

                    2 people in three days? With all the anticipation in the other topic, you guys are seriously disappointing.

                          I'll sign up right now.

                          Yeah, last year we did chose who we thought would win each game, witht he spread included, on CBS Sportsline.

                          This will be a nice change, and I will be much more enthuasitic/active then the baseball one.

                            Re: Flash Flash Revolution Fantasy Football

                            Here are my possible, but probable picks.
                            QB: Carson Palmer
                            RB: Shaun Alexander & Edgerrin James
                            WR: Steve Smith, Andre Johnson, & Roddy White
                            RB/WR: Brian Westbrook
                            TE: Antonio Gates
                            K: Neil Rackers or Jay Feely
                            Defense: Carolina Panthers (ranked 4th in rush and 9th in pass), possibly Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ranked 6th in rush and 6th in pass)
                            Bench: I'll decide during the draft.

                              You're not going to get SA, Edge and Steve Smith unless there are about 6 people in this league and Roddy White blows fantasywise so I don't know why you'd want him.

                              Also, people still need to sign up. You don't sign up in this thread, you sign up at Yahoo!. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in the initial post.
