Fantasy Football - Who is interested?

[Kori Ellis]

NBA season is over, so I guess we should start thinking about football.

This year we will have at least three money leagues, and as many free leagues as necessary.

Big Money League - $250
Some Money League - $50
Little Money League - $15

I'm not playing this season, so I'm going to be the overriding comissioner in all the money leagues. Meaning any disputes or questionable stuff will ultimately be settled by me.

This is a preliminary thread where I'd like people to express interest in playing and make any suggestions regarding the leagues.

Thanks,

Kori

[Mr Dio]

Big, I'm a 100%.
Some, I'm 50%.

[shyne]

I want in so put my name on a list or something, not sure what league yet though.

I'm easily in for $15 and $50 (I'll step aside for anyone wanting to get into $15); $250, I am a strong maybe. I've got $300 committed to dynasty leagues already.

God Bless you for volunteering to commish. It is SO not fun.

My brain is overflowing with FF info.

Suggestion: 1 point per reception.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I should be good for a few leagues this year.

I may try the $250 this year.











I still haven't received my Spurs for last years Fantasy league victories... :depressed

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Definately count me in the $50 and possibly the $15. When will we know the scoring and stuff like that?

[Kori Ellis]

We will work out the scoring in this thread after we get an idea how many people are playing.

I'll outline some guidelines of what I think the scoring should be, and then we'll have additional suggestions and vote on anything that's disputed.

[IcemanCometh]

i'm interested, maybe not interested enough to do the 250 tho :)

[T Park]

Im in for the 250, 50 and 15.

[windboy226]

If fans of other teams are allowed to play I'd like to play in the $50 and perhaps $15 league. How does payment work? Do we just paypal you the money?

[Kori Ellis]

Yes fans of other teams can play. Payments by Paypal or Check are sent to me and then I hold the money and do the payouts at the end of the season. More details later once we get closer.

[Horry For 3!]

I am hopin for a Dynasty Football League, that would be sweet

[SA Gunslinger]

I'm in for da fitty league.

[Ninja-Defense]

im definitely in for the little money $15, maybe the $50 league too.

[iminlakerland]

Count me in for the $15.00 and $50.00 league :)

[yavozerb]

I would be interested in the 15 or 50$ league's....

[Shank]

Can I get in on the $15?

[rayray2k8]

I'll do the $15 dollar league.
and maybe the $50 dollar one too. (MAYBE)
When are the payments due?
and what do you get when you win?

[scott]

I'm in for the Cheapo league.

[texasqb2]

How many people will be in each league. I am definitely interested

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

I might be interested in the $15 or $50 leagues.

[NINERS4LIFE]

I'm in for the $15 and $50, or just one, if you need to put a cap on one.

[LEONARD]

What site is used? Yahoo? CBSSportsline? etc

I might be in once I see the scoring, general setup, draft type, etc, etc

[kris]

Give me the Fantasy Football special. I want in all 3.

No maybe, just sharpie my name in thurr.

[Man In Black]

Put me down for $50:)

[Kori Ellis]

To answer some questions, last season we used Sportsline for the $250 league. 12 teams played. We paid out $100 each week (14 week season) to the high points of that week. Then in the end: 1st place: $1000, 2nd: $400, 3rd: $125, 4th: $75. So $3000 total paid out.

In the lower money leagues and free leagues, we just normally use Yahoo.

Rules are pretty standard, but far before the draft I post the guidelines in a thread then people can come in and make suggestions. Then anything that is debated will be voted on in a chat room meeting by all the participants.

All money will be due two weeks prior to the draft.

This thread is just for me to get a general idea of how many people want to play, so that I can see how many leagues we have to set up.

And Horryfor3, I'll see if LJ wants to set up a dynasty league. If so, they'll be a $50 Dynasty League in addition to these other leagues.

[Guru of Nothing]

To answer some questions, last season we used Sportsline for the $250 league.

Au contraire, we used Yahoo Plus service.

[Kori Ellis]

Au contraire, we used Yahoo Plus service.

Damn, I was thinking of basketball league.

You are right, sir.

[katyon6th]

I'd be interested in the $50 league.

[LEONARD]

Yahoo auto-draft?

I think all of the live draft slots are taken, unless you draft before the preseason...

[Kori Ellis]

Live Draft.

And they'll be tons more slots - they haven't even opened most of them yet.

[Mr Dio]

Hmmm, Dynasty Football league.
I'm intrigued. $50 is a little low but at least most peole would be able to get that amt.
Please send details or overview of plan when possible.

[LEONARD]

Live Draft.

Didn't know that!!

[Kori Ellis]

Didn't know that!!

Well that's how it's been in prior years. Closer to the season, a bunch more times open up.

I'm assuming it will be like that again.

[Ginofan]

I would like to play in the 250 league, and definately the 50 dollar dynasty league if it gets going

[Ginofan]

oops, that should have been TheTruth

[Horry For 3!]

Sounds good, I hope he does. I had a lot of fun with the Dynasty Basketball League.


If at worst, I will probably be up for a $15 or $50 league.

[rascal]

CBS Sportsline runs good fantasy leagues where you can act as commissioner. All you do is pay a one time fee of around $149 or $129 if you pay for the league early and they keep stats and run waivers and trades. You can even have a live draft party where you put up a draft board (They will also send the draft board and player stickers) and draft live in person if you want to go that route. Maybe for the bigger money league ($250 league) this would be a good idea.

You can also set up your own scoring system and playoff structure in the CBS Sportsline leagues. And I like how they make accessable all player rosters in an easy to see format. I've never tried yahoo leagues but have been happy with the CBS format.

The $149 or $129 if you enter early can be split amongst all the owners then the rest of the money is paid out as cash prizes. Not bad at all.

[DDS4]

I'm down for the $15 league....maybe the $50.

Yeah we used them for fantasy basketball.

[midgetonadonkey]

I'm down for the $50 league.

[Spurologist]

Fit teen YES $15
Fit Dee Maybe $50

How do the lineups work? Do they have to be changed every week? Month?

[TheTruth]

What do you guys think the odds of getting a fantasydynasty league together would be?

[Despot]

I'll go for a couple of $15, maybe a $50 also.

[Horry For 3!]

It is up to LJ, I have been preaching for Dynasty Fantasy Football since the end of Dynasty Fantasy Basketball.

[Clandestino]

$50 for me too.... let me know..

[Kori Ellis]

To answer a few people's question, one of the $50 leagues will be dynasty. Please only play in the dynasty league if you plan on continuing after this season.

So there's a $250 league, a $50 league, as many $15 leagues as we need, plus a $50 dynasty league.

Then there's as many free leagues as people want to play.

Yessssss, my wish has come true. :lol You can count me in for sure :)

[shyne]

I want in the Dynasty League for sure.

[yavozerb]

So, then it has not been decided as to who we are using yet for site, right?

[TheTruth]

Please mark me down for the Dynasty League.

[Kori Ellis]

So, then it has not been decided as to who we are using yet for site, right?

It will be sportsline or yahoo. Does that weigh on your decision to play?

[windboy226]

I'd like to play in the two $50 leagues and a $15 league.

[kris]

Kori - can you list a count of who is where? I'd like to see the leagues filled as soon as possible so I can find out my DP.

[Sense]

What about the free leagues :)

[Kori Ellis]

[Mr Dio]

LJ isn't doing the $50 Dynasty?

[Kori Ellis]

LJ isn't doing the $50 Dynasty?

Oh yeah - I think he's doing them all.

[Mr Dio]

Wow, Kris & I are the only ones who will do the $250 & $50 D league???

[Mr Dio]

Oh yeah - I think he's doing them all.


That's just like LJ!
He does everyone! :lol

Hi LJ! :makeout

[Mr Dio]

Guru, no D league???

[katyon6th]

What is the difference between the Dynasty league and the non-Dynasty league?

Don't castrate me for asking this, I'm just a girl.

[Kori Ellis]

Simple explanation: The regular league is just a team you draft and then play for one year. The Dynasty League, you keep your team for subsequent seasons. If people are joining Dynasty, then I want them to be committed to play in the future.

[SA Gunslinger]

Cool idea. It's like the franchise mode in Madden.

[Horry For 3!]

Dynasty Football :worthy:


By the way Kori, the check was sent today so you should get it sometime soon. :)

I didn't know this til last yr either K.
I'd heard it called a KEEPER league but I didn't know what that was OR how those leagues worked til about 2-3 yrs ago.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Just so I know, who does the $250 go to?

[Kori Ellis]

Just so I know, who does the $250 go to?

LJ (timvp) and I hold all the money in the bank and send out the payouts when it's time.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Ah, so that's LJ's name. You'll know when you get my check. And no, I am not a woman. This will make sense when you get the envelope...

[TheTruth]

Someone have a womens name?? Andrea? Lynn? Kim? Sue?

[kris]

Just a thought: I never was an advocate of making the $250 league $250. I wouldn't mind if we knocked $50 off to get another player or two because it looks like we may have a difficult time making 12 teams.

Well DisgruntledLionsFan is in, plus a couple people emailed me interested. So we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks. I think we'll get 12.

[MaNu4Tres]

You can study all you want, it doesn't matter.

Peter Burns gave me tips. Hand the trophy over.

[Mr Dio]

How is the D League going to work as far as a Constitution & all?
I was just wondering about the # of slots for the current NFL'ers & how many slots on the D League?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Kitna is going to be my 1st round pick. Lock of the year...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Kitna is going to be my 1st round pick. Lock of the year...

And I suppose Joey Harrington will be your second? lol

What do you all think of making the $250 league a 10-team league with additional roster spots IF we don't get the 12 teams?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Whatever. I just want to play...

[Kori Ellis]

I think we'll have 12 teams.

[kris]

I think we'll have 12 teams.

I think I like the commissioner's stance.

[Horry For 3!]

My money is already down for the Dynasty Football League :)
