It's that time of year again! TenEightEP back again to commish another year of F.A.N.tasy Football!
Last year, perennial playoff contender Demented climbed to the top of the mountain and took the title home for the first time. This year, he'll (likely) be looking to be the first champion in F.A.N.tasy Football history to successfully defend the crown.
First, some ground rules. However, most of this will be old news to those of you who have played in the league before:
The draft will be on Monday, August 21st at 8:00 PM EST (right as Monday Night Raw begins).
This is a Yahoo! ran fantasy football league. This means you will need a Yahoo! account in order to participate. Make sure you have an account and are able to access it before the signup day to prevent any hangups.
There will be 14 teams in the league, no more, no less. If a spot is forfeit for any reason (more on that in a moment), I will open a spot back up for another player to take over. So please, if you're going to join in, be pretty damn certain you're in it for the long haul.
The draft will be conducted in a snake-style draft. The draft order will be determined by a draft lottery that'll take place on 7/25. The order will be reversed in even-numbered rounds. Example: If I got the 5th selection in the lottery, I'd have the 5th choice in the odd numbered rounds, but would have the 9th pick in even-numbered rounds. And yes, this does mean if you have the 1st pick or the 14th pick, you'll often be making two selections in a row, but in return you'll be waiting awhile before the draft comes back around to you.
The rosters will consist of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 Kicker, and one Flex position which can be used to play a 3rd RB, a 4th WR, or 2nd TE on any given week. The flex position CANNOT be used for a QB, defense, or kicker. As per a suggestion last year, a defense can score more points than in a normal league, though not so much that defense becomes overvalued.
The schedule will consist of a 13 week regular season starting on Week 1; this means that everybody will play every other team one time during the regular season.
The top 8 teams will qualify for the playoffs, which will take place across weeks 14, 15, and 16 (no games will be played Week 17, as many teams will opt to rest players and/or play backups). There will be losers brackets and the like through the playoffs, so even if you lose in week 14, you will still play on to decide your final ranking. Any teams KO'd from the playoffs will have their teams "locked", preventing them from letting players go.
The only real grounds for being kicked from the league is collusion between two teams or just being an overall jerk. If you are suspended from the forums during the league year (assuming it's not on the grounds of anything involving the league), you will be allowed to play out the season, though obviously entering next year won't be likely.
And I believe that's about it. If you have any questions or general trash-talk, this thread'll be here all year.
