Since the draft started by Jake has obviously stalled (no picks in over 36 hours now) and since a few of the people in that league are going on vacation next week and we have no idea where Jake is and when the draft will resume, I am going to create another league now with the people who are in here most frequently. (I am looking for the well-known posters.) People who will be ready for the draft and who will stick with the league whether your team is in 1st place or last throughout the season. I am looking for a very solid group of guys. The guys in the original Jake draft were good and were all ready to draft so if you guys want to start all over in my draft let me know here. If not, also let me know so I can find other guys. I am hoping we get at least 12 guys in this league and I wouldn't be opposed to opening up and getting even more guys...maybe a 16 team league. In a 16 team league we have to think a little harder before we make any pick. Players will have to actually use non pro-bowl caliber players on their roster. We will randomly choose the draft order after we fill this league up. So sign in below if you have immediate interest.

Roster:
QB
RB/WR
RB/WR
RB/WR
RB/WR
WR/TE
K
DEF
Bench (any 6 players)

Rules:
Scoring is as follows:

Any TD (passing, Rushing, Receiving, Defensive, Special teams) =6

Offense:
Passing yards = 1 per 25
Rushing/Receiving yards = 1 per 10
Fumble = -2
INT = -3

Defense:
Shutout = 20
2-7 points allowed = 12
8-13 points allowed = 7
14-20 points allowed = 3
21-27 points allowed = 0
28-34 points allowed = -1
34 and higher = -4
INT/Fumble Recovery/Blocked Kick/Safety = 1

Kicker:Any FG = 3
Missed FG = -1
EP = 1

Fractional points count too. 96 yards rushing, you get 9.6 points. Anything wrong with these that you guys don't like, let me know before the draft.

We will start 1 QB, 4 RB/WR, 1 WR/TE, 1 K, and 1 Team D.
We will have 6 Bench spots.
It's a head to head league with bye weeks counting toward your final point total (tiebreaker) so you can't just take that week off.

That's a 14 round draft. If you aren't around for your pick, I'll give you the top of a default list of Yahoos fantasy players last year.

Normal snake draft rules. 1st pick in the 1st gets last in the 2nd, 1st in the 3rd, last in the 4th, etc...

5 minutes max per pick so be ready. We will draft in the offshore forum in a thread I'll create 30 minutes before draft time. I would like everyone to check in. I will update the rosters after each pick and then add them to Yahoo Sports! when the draft is over. I would like everyone to get AOL Messenger if possible before the draft. My AOL IM name is MadCapperRx. If you add me I'll inform you when it's your pick.

I am also looking for a sportsbook to sponsor us.

Thanx

I dont want to jumo the gun either and we will hold a spot for Jake until tonight in this draft or we will resume his. But if hes not here tonight, this draft will take the originals place.

Well count me in MC......So are you saying if we hear from Jake sometime today and he has a reasonable explanation, we will stick to the original draft? Also, are we still considering throwing $ in for the winner of the league to collect, and trying to find a book to possibly sponsor and match our $?

Hache...we will decide on that issue after we get the league filled.

And if Jake has a reasonable explanation we will continue his league. But he is very inconsiderate for creating a league then disappearing for 40 hours without letting anyone know what the deal is.

LOL, ok MC, well, count me in. I just think, if all entries could handle it, a small post up would make it much more interesting and a worthy goal to work towards, but if not, that will be ok also. Actually though, I kind of like the team I have begun to compile in the other league so far!

Dante,

Because I think its more fun to do a draft here...so we can talk bout the pics as it goes on...

I have done over 1000 drafts thru espn, cbs, yahoo and all other live drafts....not as fun.

The draft went fine and quickly the other night, it's just having everyone present. We'll see what happens, maybe Jake will show up today and we wont have to start completely over from scratch. I'll be back later......

I saw Jake online last night briefly, very strange for him not to acknowledge i agree , but we could easily still finish that league as well...

i m kinda baffled as to what happened...we had it going well, we could easily knock out a whole draft in a two day period, even if we do it like last sunday...we can draft the first 5 rounds then just draft in an open thread as we can from then on...

50 dollar fee is very reasonable

my suggestion 50 x 10 players 500 matching book with a 5 x rollover of the whole dime??? the book gets a nice ad all season long and would have a shot at our nickel...

I will play, esp if there is an entrance fee to keep everyone honest and so everyone tries the whole time. Maybe you could pay the top 3 teams and the bottom 2 teams

Yes...I think the best thing would actually be 12 teams for 50.00 each and the book matches the 600.00 we put in.

It will keep guys into it all season.

Head to Head
2 divisons
Top 3 from each division make playoffs.
Division winner gets a bye.

If we can work that it would be great. I run leagues on CBSsportsline commissioner and thats how it works there but wed have to pay for the service. Maybe we can make a Yahoo league like that as well.
