    Some type of error on my post above, when I try to edit I get a PSA error page, so I will fix later.


    By the way, if anybody is looking for an excellent site to play in money leagues, I strongly recommend http://fantasysportsplayer.com/

    They are just 3 years old, came over from antsports I believe, and are on top of the league like nobody else. Very easy to receive communication, superfast with payouts (like as soon as the last playoff game is confirmed) they will issue a check or transfer to Paypal. Leagues are either 8 or 12 team, PPR, with points awarded instead of just win-lost records. An advantage to the better player, less luck. Leagues of $25, $50, $100 & $250. Much like antsports but much better customer service.

    No, I do not own the site! Just a big fan of what they are doing.

    << <i>AC0000000 would have the last spot he PM me yesterday.

    $40 as a buy in works for me.
    If anyone is against the idea of some sort of top champion out of both leagues to get a little bit extra then are we back at just doing each league separately? >>



    Thanks for counting me in Brendan, I appreciate that.
    I'm time with any amount for the fee.
    Looking forward to it.

    Hey Mike,

    Can you post all the scoring and league settings you are using so I can duplicate the league for the 2nd group of 14?

    I like the idea of a grand champion but maybe drop the payout for it to $100.

    I already have drafts on 8/17 and 8/24 so those would be bad dates for me.

    Thanks!

    I am for any Grand Championship that's decided upon, but as an idea, maybe all the payouts should be based on the individual league, and just hold it between the two teams in week 17, no payout, for bragging rights. The points can easily be scored manually on a spreadsheet. I know all about week 17, but there are plenty of teams and players that need to play it full out that for the most part I think the idea of all these NFL teams resting in week 17 it is not totally correct.

    I like the idea of both the league championship game and the "Super Bowl" between the two leagues coinciding on Week 16. There are just too many variables for a viable Week 17 matchup, as the players from playoff bound teams are typically rested or just played briefly, and the team who happens to have guys from those teams still fighting to get into the playoffs will have an unfair advantage, imo.

    This is the only setting that I'd like to see changed, just so it cuts down on the number of potential tie games.

    Fractional Points: No

    I think that it is much more unlikely to end in a tie if 29 yards is 2.9 points as opposed to 2 points etc....

    Thoughts?

    BTW, logged in and sent $ to Brendan yesterday.

    I prefer fractional points too as I believe 99 yards should be worth more than 90 yards.

    Oh, come on...a little rounding never hurt anyone. CPA's don't worry about fractions!!! image

    I have no problem making that change. Thanks for the suggestion Steve. Unless the silent rounding majority makes their thoughts known by this weekend, I will make it so. image

    Still only have 13 people registered. On the 22nd we will start opening up spots to the alternates.

    I noticed that our starting lineups consist of 2 RB & 3 WR.
    Is there any chance of changing that to 2RB, 2WR & 1Flex? The flex can be RB, WR or TE.
    Any thoughts on this one way or the other?

    Yeah, it wasn't supposed to have defaulted to 3 WR. I have corrected this so we have a flex instead of a 3rd WR spot.

    Yahoo assigns draft order 30 min before draft time for on line draft.

    Correct, Yahoo added the feature a couple years ago in which you can have it set the random draft order well before the day of the draft. If you do not have it do this then it will end up by default setting it 30 minutes before the draft queue opens.

    So far in the 2 CGC leagues that I am running I have been randomly selected to be 9 out of 10 and 10 out of 12. My luck sucks with Yahoo picking randomly. image

    Unless anyone objects to knowing the random draft order at any time other than 30 minutes to the draft I can have Yahoo do the random order once the last person has paid.
