:signhuh: Dosen't FF start in Aug? Not sure I'd be a great league manager as I've never done that before. As far as being apart of the league. I'm in!

I have absolutely no clue on how the fantasy football thing works believe it or not.
From what I understand, its individual player performance per week....

[Undersoul02]

That is correct. You draft players and each of those players gets points each week. You'll have guys on the bench and guys that you are playing. They get points for catches, running yards, passing yards, tuchdowns and for def players tackles, interceptions and tuchdowns. There is a lot more to the points, but you get what I'm saying? It's pretty easy once you get going. You play against another person from the leauge each week and the guy with the most points wins that matchup each week. At the end of the season the top 6 teams go to the playoffs where it is a bracket system. Pretty simple actually and a lot of fun.

Framer1 what's up buddy? Good to see you here [emoji106]🏼

Sounds like you're an expert. Maybe you can explain how this works? I'm completely clueless. Is there money involved? I assume it's a weekly deal that runs in parallel to the games?

I may be in [emoji16]

[Undersoul02]

Vic you need to be a part of this! Should be a good time!

What the buy in for the season $100???

[HB Vic]

So cash is involved? Who's gonna post up how this works??

Here's a good read on the basics: http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?page=nfldk2k10howtoplay

Cash can be involved... $5, $20, $50, $100. Doesn't matter. Winner takes all or $X for first place, $X for second, etc.

Given that it appears to be the first time playing for many, I suggest a low buy-in or just playing for bragging rights. From my experience, though, the only downside with this is that some lose interest half way thru season and just stop playing.

I've seen the loss of interest happen. Who would be in for money? Who would hold the money? If we do money I'd vote for a 1st and 2nd place payout. If we don't do money then we should figure out some sort of winning prize. Maybe we could all throw in some sort of boating swag or something like that? It would have to be worth while! Any thoughts?

By the way. If we don't get 12 people a 10 person league is better. More options for good players in the draft!

[HB Vic]

I'm a little worried we'll get 10 lol

Not sure I'm an expert, money involved is nice. I'm not sure a 100.00 is a good ideal in a league where nobody has played before. What's nice if your not sure about the drafting of players, you can auto draft. Let the computer draft for you. You need a commissioner to make the rules and make sure all trades are ok. It can be a pain in the butt. To much info to type it all out but it is simple to play.

Hope everything is going well.....

Sorry! :action-smiley-060:

[Undersoul02]

I agree with...Framer1 :yes:... $100 the first go around might be a little much. We could start out with $25 or $50 and go from there. I believe RADRVR is planning on being the commissioner of the league. Does anyone have a preference of a Yahoo or ESPN league? I like Yahoo, but I have been using it for a few years now. RR we probably won't start until late summer probably Aug. We would draft our teams and then play among the 10 or 12 of us that sign up.

[RADRVR]

I'm happy to be commissioner. Yahoo format is 8 Team, 10 Team, 12 Team or 14 Team, so we will need a couple of more players.

To get started I created a Standard League in Yahoo. It's named HB Sandbar. For those that want in, you can join via the link below. Sign up, poke around, create a clever team name or use your HB member name. Ask questions if you have them and I will try to answer to the best of my ability.

https://yho.com/nfl?l=56131&k=5f2c43ebf94e4bd1&ikey=32bc70fb63317be6

The draft is tentatively schedule for Aug. 19th at 9:00 a.m. You can Autopick Draft (Yahoo will make the intelligent choice for you) or Live Draft (every team selects one player per round until their roster is full).

Frankly, I don't know or care enough to Live Draft, so its Autopick for me. To each his own.

This should be fun!

[Undersoul02]

All signed in. Should be good!

[BadFish]

I would be in for the $25 or $50

[HB Vic]

I just switched to Geico so I'm down to party for $50 Alex [emoji23]

Can I be the cheerleader???



I can play if it doesn't require any attention. Can I just pick my team based on how I pick my QB (the hottest guy) and keep the same players all season? I have dips on Tom Brady!!
