I'm into that. That would me a new experience for me.
I'm thinking about starting another redraft fantasy league, but holding the draft live at a restaurant or possible other venue. It would probably be in the $25/team ballpark. If there is enough interest to put 12 teams together, I would organize the league and put together the time and place.
For those of you who have never experienced a live fantasy football draft, it's pretty cool and even more exciting than an online draft which is why I'm trying to put it together.
If you are serious about playing and can commit 3-4 hours on a Saturday or Sunday in the near future, please post.

Ooooh, yay. I'd be into it.
Sure, I'm in.
Ok, I think that makes 9 if everybody follows through. 3 more spots.
I'd be down for that if there is still a spot.
YOUR FRITOS OR YOUR LIFE!!!!
MD - you are in. There is 1 spot left.
Sign me up, Kris.
I don't think I can do the bigger leagues this year and I'd like to get in a ST one. If it's a Sunday draft, I can make it.
League is filled. There is a pretty good chance someone will not be able to make the date we end up setting. If you are interested as an alternate, please post.
I have tenatively scheduled the draft for Sunday, August 6th at 6:30 p.m.
This of course is assuming Pete can reserve this time for us and a large majority of owners can attend the meeting. However, I do need to make sure this time will work before I submit it to Pete.
Please give me feedback on whether or not this time is good for you. If it is not, please give me times that are. If you are wishy washy about the league and unsure whether or not you will actually show up - do not play. I need every single one of the owners to be able to attend.
Also, Katy I noticed the schedule is not out yet. Do you know when they will complete it?
I'm not sure, Kris. I know that all the other league nights have their completed schedules. Hopefully after this week they will put the rest of ours up. I'll go by the office before the game tomorrow to find out.
I am going to have Kori conduct the draft order through some means. We will think of the most random way to assign #'s (probably a website) and then I will have Kori post them.
DRAFT IS SUNDAY, AUGUST 6th at 7:30 PM

Just to let the final four know, I will start replacing you within the next couple of days if I don't get a response.
Matthew will be there.
The league has been set up on Yahoo. I will be pming information to all of those confirmed shortly.
One option I have at my disposal is whether or not to add bonus points if a qb/wr/rb hits a certain yardage level. For example, if a quarterback hit 450 yards, you would get an extra 5 bonus points on top of your standard score.
Please give me your feedback on that.
Here is how I have set up the league besides the points:
You have a maximum of 40 waiver wire moves. This should be more than enough to last you through the season, but does provide some ceiling to those who overuse the waiver wire.
Trades will go through instantaneously. There will be no league vote on trades. As commissioner, if I see any significantly lopsided trades (ie Ladanian Tomlinson for Derrick Mason + Fred Taylor all things equal) then I will block the trade.
Trade deadline will be November 17.
Playoffs are weeks 15+16.
You may have 7 people on the bench in addition to your 9 starters. This is up one from the standard 6 on Yahoo.
Set up your teams and start preparing.
Noted. I only need confirmations from Midgetdonkey, Bruce Bowen Fan, and Boston George.
Katy and Matthew, if you are playing in the other fantasy league ($50) please bring your money to softball this week.
Thanks.
I've decided not to play in that league, Kori. I'll let Matthew know, though.
Ok, I'll be there.
