NSBB Fantasy Football 2011

In anticipation of actually having a season I have renewed the league for this year. Last year's members should have received an invite through Yahoo, but if you were in the league last year and didn't get the invite (for example, if you changed your e-mail address and forgot to update it in Yahoo) send me a PM and I'll reply with the registration information. If you have not participated in the past but would be interested in doing so please express your interest by posting in this thread. Most years there are a few vacancies to fill due to previous members not returning, and if that's the case this year I'll fill them on a first-come, first-served basis. There are only two requirements for participating. One is to be committed to remaining active even if you fall out of contention. The other is to deal with the fact that I always win the league championship in odd-numbered years. :P

 

I have tentatively set the draft for 9:00 P.M. Eastern time Monday, Aug. 27, but that's intended mainly as a placeholder to get the league set up. It can be changed if desired. Also, for now I've copied the scoring settings from last year, but again that's just intended as a placeholder for now. I know there was some discussion last year about having too many points for passing completions and return yards, and there are a few new scoring categories available this year (such as long TD passes and pick six thrown), so I anticipate tweaking the scoring before the draft. Feel free to post any thoughts about scoring in this thread.

Is there interest in continuing this league? So far only two people have signed up.

I beat the rush and re-upped.

I'm definitely in if there's room.

PM sent with registration information.

We still need one more person for this, right?

Yikes; I just checked and saw that you're right. Somebody apparently pulled out, because it was previously shown as 12 teams and now it shows 11.

 

Anybody interested please post your interest here and I'll send a PM with the information. If three more people are interested I can increase the limit to 14 teams (which I think is the ideal for fantasy football anyway, because the schedule can be set for everybody to play everybody else one time). The draft is tentatively set for next Monday (9:00 P.M. Eastern time) but could be moved back.

I'm very interested if there is still an opening!

Yes. I'm heading off to work now, but I'll send you a PM with the information when I get back later this afternoon.

The league is full once again. Hopefully nobody else will bail out. As a reminder, the draft is scheduled for this coming Monday, Aug. 29 at 9:00 P.M. Eastern time (8:00 Central, etc.). I made a few tweaks to the scoring based on past comments (increased the passing yards per point, increased the return yards per point, added a penalty for pick 6 thrown). Tweaks can still be made if desired.

You should all tremble in fear of my team. I have TODD COLLINS!

 

I won't have him very long.

If I hold on to win this week it will be due to my kicker. 34 points from Janikowski; just wow.
