We've had a great time the last few years and I hope to have the same type of league this year. This will be a 10 team league and spots go to last years owners with the exception of Rock's and maddog's spot since neither is active here other than the occasional HERF or "what's in your glass" post. If there are some that don't play this year, then the remaining spots will be open to the general public with additions at my discretion. Previous owners have until Aug. 15th to commit to the league. After that, I'll open up the remaining spots to the general public.
Like last year, the league will be set up through ESPN and we will have a live draft on SUNDAY August 31ST AT 8PM EST!. I've had to do a lot of juggling around with the drafts due to accommodate peoples schedules. This year, there will be a set date and time that WILL NOT be changed. I would prefer that you be at the live draft, but I know life can get in the way sometimes, so if you can't make it for some reason, no big deal. Just set up your autodraft before the draft begins.
Standard ESPN scoring with a few minor changes I made last year to ramp up the scoring and change the way you look at the draft. I've tweeked the scoring just a little and changed the amount of waiver pickups to 30 in a season. Here is the link to be able to check out the league scoring.

I may do some more tweaking of the scoring later on to make each weeks match ups a little more exciting and interesting. I hate seeing those 80-72 scores, so the adjusted scoring will take care of that. This also will make you do your homework on the draft now also so you know who breaks the big run, who gets 10 catches a game, what kicker has the strongest leg, etc.
There are rules for joining this league and if they are not followed, you will be blackballed from further leagues (not just mine, because I will make sure you don't get in another CP league if the first rule is broken).
1) You MUST stay active in the league! If your team is crappy and you give up on them, you will forfeit any prize that would come your way. Things happen where you might not be able to access a computer but if you have two weeks where no changes are made (multiple starters on bye weeks, no visible changes from bye weeks) then I will end your season and CP FFL career.
2) Respond and offer trades. You don't have to trade if you don't want to, but if someone offers a trade, be courteous and at least respond to them.
3) Lastly, when trading, after you hit the accept button there is no going back. Once you accept a trade, it will be voted on by the league. If it is upheld and you decide you want to take it back, thats just too bad.
In past leagues, we had people "forget" about their teams and it made for people to get easy wins and advance into the playoffs so I will be adding prizes to the total package so EVERYONE, down to the last week of the regular league season, has a chance to win something. I figured this would be the easiest way to keep interest in the league, so here is the prize breakdown.
1st - $375 (4 $75 entry fees)
2nd - $225 (2 $75 entry fees + a ~$50 fiver from team #9
3rd - `~$75 and a fiver from team 10
4th - Free entry
Most points by a single player - the team that players scores against must send the winner a fiver totaling ~$50 in cigars
Largest team point total for 1 week - the team that loses against the highest weekly scoring team must send the winner a fiver totaling ~$50 in cigars.
Places 1 and 2 get to keep their entry fees along with receiving their winnings.
This is not a first come, first served league either, so don't let your feelings get hurt if you're the first one to say "I'm in" in this thread and you don't get accepted (if you're not one of the previous owners)! Post your interest here in the thread or pm me letting me know.
IF YOU CAN'T STAY COMMITTED TO THIS LEAGUE FOR THE ENTIRE TIME IT'S GOING, DON'T SIGN UP!
No asshats allowed. So, if you think you're an asshat, or you think others think you're an asshat, or others do think you're an asshat, steer clear of this thread.
