Not sure about ESPN but yahoo max is 12 people I believe

My vote is cash game $20 or $50. We could even do some sort of IH tie-in. Like all the winnings go to the IH item of your choice. I like ESPN (it's just what I've used for years), but Yahoo is a good service , too.

[seanocono]

I would also like to nominate bagz as commissioner. I know he will do a great job.

[mclaincausey]

Seconded, now you're stuck

[bagley920]

Haha ok ok guys

So lets PM some people. Get some more folks on board

[mclaincausey]

Perfect…  If it is a cash game, I've hear good things about this:

[bagley920]

I'd be fine with just someone holding paypal funds but I've never played for cash before. We don't know each other like that but I'd say I trust you guys

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, not a trust issue so much as convenience; I'm fine with whatever we do; I haven't met anyone shady in this wonderful place…

[Megatron1505]

Wonder if a limey could kick some ass in here with my severe lack of knowledge 

[seanocono]

It would be like us tying you in the World Cup; blasphemous in certain circles (yeah, I just went there).  Bring it on, Mega.  I don't think you can hack it. Ha!

ESPN is max 20 people

I'd be game for joining the UK contingent..

[Megatron1505]

Oh it's on, me and Alex are going kick some Yankee bottoms 

BTW, whats a tye? I remember the Yanks getting a lucky draw but I have no idea what a tye game is?

[bagley920]

I'm in the process of creating the league, gonna set at 12 teams but can go up to 20 if need be

1.) bagz
2.) mclaincausey
3.) seanocono
4.) Big Z
5.) Alex
6.) Gav

[bagley920]

If you guys are def in, send me your email address via PM and I'll send you the invite to the league

[Megatron1505]

I'm in $20 stake right? Need someone to give me a brief education on this.

[bagley920]

Pretty simple Gav, you pick players for your team, QB, RB, etc and based on the stats they accumulate during their games, you get points based on those stats. Each week, you go head to head with another owner and whoever gets the most points that week wins. Essentially, the better your players play, the more you win

[bagley920]

For those of you that have played before, I have made a few tweaks to the ESPN standard scoring, so pay attention. If the consensus is that you hate them, I can change them before the draft.

1. This is a fraction league, so every yard you get counts. There is nothing worst than a player getting 24 yards rushing and you get nothing for it. Passing yards are 0.04 per yard, rushing yards are 0.1 per yard, receiving yards are 0.01 per yard

2. All games rushing over 100 yards will receive a bonus, 100+ bonus is 3 points, 200+ is 5 points. Same goes for receiving, 100+ is 2 points, 200+ is 5 points

3. This is a PPR(points per reception) league. Each catch is worth 0.25 points

4. A forced fumble, even if not recovered is 1 point, a recovered fumble is 2 points

5. A missed PAT is -1 points. There's no excuse for this IMO

6. I have taken out the scoring system for yardage allowed. The name of the game IMO is keeping points off the board so yardage allowed will not matter

If you have any questions or concerns about these, please discuss, they are up for debate for sure

I will be adding people as they email me. We have 2 divisions. I will be adding to each division alternating back and forth so if the divisions end up being unbalanced, I can not help that. I have put Gavin and Alex, which I presume have the least experience in this in opposite divisions.

[bagley920]

We also need to decide what to do about the draft. Time differences may make a live draft impossible

[Alex]

I'm not opposed to a late night to accommodate a live draft..
