Still a nay on the PPR but I'm good with the first two proposals.
Felix Jones or Matt Stafford in the first?

Another vote against ppr from me.
Yes it is in danger of not happening, but we still have some time to let some of the stragglers come in. I'm hoping they'll come to their senses before it's too late and they miss the entire season. Typically there's a mad push right before the league fills up and a few people get left out because they wait too long.Quote:

There is actually more signups for 250 than 50 right now. I think it's 6-4. I don't have my excel open right now.
By all means, if you know some other people that might be interested, send them my way.
If you're reading this and at all interested in the 10-25-50-250 league, send me a pm right away. If I don't get the interest soon, I will have to fold up shop.
If you're in a league and want to play, encourage and invite others to join.
Thank You very much!

Thanks to all that have paid so far. I'm shocked that so few have signed up for the 10, 25, 50. Usually people get turned away for these leagues.
Remember that you can win cash for these leagues. 100% of league buy-in is paid out. AKA Spurstalk doesn't rake. Any other online league you look at rakes - CBS Sportsline, Masters Fantasy Football League, Quest Fantasy Football League - They all take huge chunks of money out of the pot.
Spurstalk pays winners every penny of the buy-in. With all the non-dynasty leagues on Yahoo w/ free stat tracker, all the money is going out to the top 3 finishers. No surcharge, No convience fee, No late fees, No commish fees, No fee fees, No nothing.
Payments will be paid out in FULL no later than 1 week after the season via paypal or check (if you so request).
payment breakdown:
250 - purse = $3,000
$100 for weekly scoring winner = $1,300
1st place = $1,100
2nd place = $450
3rd place = $150
50 - purse = $600
1st place = $400
2nd place = $150
3rd place = $50
25 - purse = $300
1st place = $200
2nd place = $75
3rd place = $25
I'll play in the 50 if needed.
Let's go 10 teams in the 250 if interest is waning. Rather do that than not play at all.
Agreed. Please do play in the $50 if you're interested. The $50 is very fun.Quote:

From my experience, Yahoo will only lock teams on early play days (Thursday/Friday) during the waiver wire periods leading up to Sunday. If this is not true, I will manually adjust the league so that waivers can be completed.
*Continual rolling list: waiver claims are processed in waiver priority order and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list
**Use these settings to give everyone in the league a fair chance at picking up players. Sunday - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at 10:00am PT each Sunday with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday. First game of the week - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at the start of the first game for that week with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday.
***Commish decides disputes.
****Weeks 14-16
*****Division winners advance but are seeded according to overall standings: The winners of each division will advance to the playoffs and all other playoff teams will be determined by overall standings. Playoff seeds will be determined by overall standings regardless of division results.

$250, $50 = 18 players
$10, $25 = 16 players
I've compiled what I feel are the best settings/rules for the leagues. There are some new wrinkles but the substantive settings/rules for each league will remain mostly intact.
These rules will give a bonus to those who pick the best fantasy football players and an edge to the point scoring. I've added an extra layer of polarization to kickers and defenses which will make studying for these positions more important.
Players with regular offensive studs will also receive an extra perk with 2 points for reaching impressive but reachable milestones.
Thanks to all that provided rule suggestions. I did factor each into the rule making.
Kris, let me see if a couple of guys from work are interested in the $250 League. Gimme til Fri night to hit them up & get back to you. :toast
Anyone wanna go with 8 teams in the $250? :lol
Man, talk about stacked rosters.
Maybe we can bump it to $300 to make u for the lower # of teams?
Dio,
The campaigning would be greatly appreciated. We'll save the $300 debate for next season. I've already got payments in and advertised this league as $250 in other places.
8 teams would be too crazy for me, but I would go for 10 (begrudgingly) if that's what it took to start the league.
Extra Bonus for $250 League Players.
$100 winner Paid out after every week.
Thanks to Eric for joining in on the fun. Every league added one more player just now.
Joe - Lions - have you received your $50 league invite? Your team isn't in the league yet.
$50 league changed from 7:00pm to 6:45pm. I made an error in Yahoo and the 7pm had filled up, but draft time moved up only 15 minutes.
$50 - 12 teams - Sunday, Sep 6 at 6:45 CST *EDITED*
I sent u a PM. LEt me know what I need to do.
Yoda
News and Notes:
$10 League is Closed
Slick - I'll transfer your money over to the $25, please send $15 more (If you changed your mind and just want a refund, let me know.)
Eric - Your Money will be refunded
Yoda - I'll pm you a response tonight.
Dio - You sent me a little more money than was due. You'll be receiving a refund on the excess balance to your paypal.
Matthew - I need payment for your dad. Should I email him directly or go through you?
If you want to play FF this season, sign up ASAP.
Thanks to all.

To the players in $25/$50 - if you want these leagues to happen, I'm going to need some help promoting them. I'm putting out messages every where I can but I'm not getting many responses. If I can't find more players, the leagues will fold up and your money will be returned.
Dio - $12.25 sent (extra).
Eric - $10.00 sent (refund).
How many $250 teams are left?
EDIT -
Just caught it nevermind....
Hey if we don't make the 12, can we go with what we have?Quote:

We won't have 8 team leagues because I wouldn't play in them and all of these numbers have me calculated. I think we'll have some ghosts that save Christmas though.
Will we know the draft order for the 250 league before draft day?
Well, others might like'em even if you don't!!Quote:
