It's almost that time of year and I was wondering if there were any plans for an FTR fantasy football league this year? Time permitting, I should be able to set up a league if anyone is interested. Granted I've never ran a league before, so I might not be the best person for the job. Post here if you're up for some FF.

Oh BTW, I'm the ultimate choker when it comes to FF. I've only played in three leagues, but finished with the best record in all three, made it to the finals in all three and then proceeded to not show up for the finals to go 0/3. Variance?

i think there was an FTR league last year which I signed up for and never updated. I like to think I won the whole thing, but I'm kinda fuzzy on the details.
I'd be up for an 8 person league of frequent posters. That could be real fun.

If others are interested, I wouldn't mind. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't mater to me. As long as the people involved are active, that's the key thing.

Wasn't there a huge FTR fallout related to some fantasy football gone wrong a few years ago?

You guys didn't get the news? The NFL has been cancelled due to Bob Sanders stating that he will not lose, and thus, there is now no purpose to 'competing' against His Holiness.

So is this a no go? or is it just to early yet? I'm up for using Yahoo. I think 12 teams works well but if people want fewer, I'm sure we can figure something out. If anyone is still interested let me know.

Honestly not too interested in a freebie but I guarantee there are 10-12 of us who will pay, we'll just need someone to hold the money on PS.

You're more than welcome to use the forums to organize a league with an entry fee. In past years more than one league has been organized in the forums. However, ftr is not responsible for leagues with entry fees.

I'm willing to play in both if there is one for pay(depending on how much)and one for free. Should we start two seperate threads? Let's get organized.

lol I wish, it was a joke at first seeing how when I signed up here I was playing .25/.50 limit. However, now that I have had a real job for the past few years making good money it's getting closer. At best, I'm still a medium-spenda, you know, kinda like medium-pimpin.

Ok, I was going to set this up on Yahoo once we have 12 teams. Right now we have:
Trashcona
Eric
Bigred
Trikflow
gabe
mrhappy
Ultimate George
'rilla
lukie?? - please confirm
blackatom
LimpinAintEZ
So if everyone is still in, we need one more, then we can come up with what rules we want to play with, ie:PPR or not? and a draft date.

If lukie's in this makes 12. Anybody want to make any suggestions about the rules? What's everyone's thoughts on Points Per Reception? I've never played with this before, but seems interesting. We also need a draft date, how deep into August do we want to do this? Assuming we want to do this while training camps are running/pre season is in full force.

points for receptions is a must, IMO - in fact, im down for lots of scoring categories and lots of points....like 10yards per point is nice - Individual D guys are cool also, but it requires a lot more knowledge....
anyone tried ESPN fantasy? I have always been on yahoo, and its fine, but I heard ESPN has a good free one also...

Ok, I had a few minutes so I set up a league quickly, it's on yahoo and it's called FTR FF League(very original). I'll pm the p/w to everyone so you can have a look at the settings, then we can discuss what needs to be changed if anything.
