Any interest from anyone here in joining a fantasy league? I am gonna try and set one up, and figured to give folks here a chance to get in if they want.

I might be interested. I led my league in points last year on nfl.com, so they are no longer free? Is Yahoo free?

Yahoo is free for now *knock wood*

Yeah, it's free...nfl.com was what I had been using, but I can't use it now. (No CC)
Scoring in the league is as follows.
All TD's, FG, etc are equal to the real life point values.
Passing: QB's get 1 point er 25 yards
WR get 1 point per 10 yeads
Rushing: 1 point per 10 yards.
All turnovers are worth -2.
Defense: Shutouts = 10 points
less than 6 points = 7 points
Can't quite remember the rest, but it goes down in point value pretty evenly after that. Anything over 35 points given up is a -4 penalty. All TO's are 2 point each, and a sack is worth 1 point.
The Draft is Friday, August 22 at 10:15 P.M......it's the only time slot they had left that wasn't right in the middle of the work day.
I will PM all interested with the league ID and password you'll need to set your team up.

Is the draft going to be a life draft or an automated draft?

Live draft. Which probably mean 3 or four people will actually show up

Thos are the default rules. The only changes made to those rules are:
QB's get 1 point per 25 yards passing
WR's get 1 point per 10 yards
RB's get 1 point per 10 yards.
And all FG's count for 3 points, regardless of distance.
Also, you get two more spots on your bench to fill out your team.
And playoff take place the during week 16&17

Just to keep my mind sane, could everyone who has actually joined the league please post their team here so I can see who's in and who's out?
So far, I have six teams signed up officially, and at least 2 that will as soon as they get around to it.

What's the deadline (just in case I decide to make a stab at the worst losing record in fantasy football history!

)

Draft is set for Friday night August 22nd, so anytime before the draft is ok to sign up.
