THE 2022 F.A.N.TASY FOOTBALL SEASON IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
REGISTRATION:
Draft Lotto date: Saturday August 6th at 12:00PM EST
DRAFT DATE (NEW DATE, PLEASE NOTE): Monday August 29th at 8:00PM EST
If you post in this thread or PM me that you're interested in signing up, I will send an invite to you once signups are open. This will ensure that shortly after registration opens, you'll get a link to sign up for the league. Simply posting in this thread or receiving the invite WILL NOT guarantee your spot in the league. You MUST accept the invite while slots are still open in order to reserve your place. I will continue to send invites until the league is full, not merely stopping when I've sent 14 invites (the # of teams in the league).
Signups are done in this manner to insure everyone is aware of when registration is open, and it doesn't come down to just whoever "sees the post first".
This is a Yahoo! 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 and draft day to prevent any hangups. There is a test link on the main league page once you sign up to make sure your browser/settings will work with the in-browser draft program. There is also a free mobile app for drafts as well (on Google Play and Apple stores) if you would rather do it that way or have any difficulties with the in-browser draft. There will not be any special cases made for technical difficulties with the draft application or your internet/data connection unless it's a global Yahoo issue.
--------------------------
LEAGUE INFO:
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 certain you're in it for the long haul. Few things in the league suck as much as an inactive team.
The draft will be conducted in a snake-style draft. The draft order will be determined by a draft lottery that (assuming the league fills up at the pace it normally does) will take place on July 31st. 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, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 Kicker, and one Flex position which can be used to play a 3rd RB, a 3rd WR, or 2nd TE on any given week. The flex position CANNOT be used for a QB, defense, or kicker. Defense can score more points than in a normal league, though not so much that defense becomes overvalued.
The schedule will consist of a 14 week regular season starting on Week 1; this means that everybody will play every other team one time during the regular season, and then one randomized rematch to compensate for the additional week in the NFL season
The top 8 teams will qualify for the playoffs, which will take place across weeks 15/16/17 (no games will be played Week 18, 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 15, 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 or obtaining new players (to prevent meddling or collusion).
The only real grounds for being kicked from the league is collusion between two teams or just being an overall jerk (remember when I said "Few things in the league suck as much as an inactive team"?). If you are suspended from the forums during the league year (and suspension is unrelated to the league) or delete your account, you will be allowed to play out the season, though obviously entering next year might be an issue. if your suspension DOES have to do with the league, action will be taken; most likely, being locked out of your team and future league activity.
And I believe that's about it. If you have any questions or general trash-talk, this thread'll be here all year.
