The more (to beat down), the merrier. Is it football season yet?

Uh... it doesn't affect points by TDs at all. What we're talking about is when, say, a quarterback throws 300 yards, they get an additional say, 5 points. 25 yards still equal 1 point, nothing else really changes.

Every league I've been in that gives 5, 10, and 15 bonus points has been competitive and hasn't had a differential that truly effects anything. Quarterbacks ended up with an average of 30-50 points per game. Which is either alot or average, depending on how your previous leagues operated.

Oh ok, I didn`t realize that these were just bonuses.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Yeah, man... I couldn't imagine a league with 3 points for 25 yards lol That would be absolutely ridiculous.

[Dubs]

I looked at the scoring and the bonuses and i think it is great the way it is..there small bonuses for yardage which is nice because they are bonuses and as ER20 said if they are valued with more points yards will mean more then TDs..I say leave it as is it is very reasonable

To add to the numerous questions how late is everyone wanting the draft? I was thinking August we could even let some preseason games play, injuries seem to always occur then and could change the draft landscape

[XxSizzleXx]

Ahem, so anxious to get this thing started and mop the floor with you guys

I'm with you on the scoring as it is right now, looks good...

As for the draft, I'm always a fan of drafting as late as possible, for the most info available (injuries, position battles, etc.) And I'm going to begin lobbying for a weekend draft right now, lol.

We still don't have a set draft date but it'll most likely be during the pre-season. You have to have a Yahoo account to be in the league. Here's the information:

If enough people want to draft after pre-season, we'll do it then.

[cursona pirate]

we should make a poll?

Alright.

[AwakenTheDemon]

As long as we begin scoring at week 1 of the regular season, I really don't care when we draft.

[RayRiceFan27]

I do have a question, at what point do we find out at what spot we will be picking? That way each of us can practice picking a player at out each of our spots a bunch of times till it starts.

[reediddy]

are you guys full already? im down to get in this

It's randomly determined when the draft actually starts.

Team Master Baiters and Team Max Facial reporting to kick some Fantasy arse... locked, stocked ready and waiting....

Sigh - only FOREVER till football season starts. Atleast I have the AWESOME CFL in the meantime

[yakraven]

I would enjoy being in a fantasy league but I have never done it before. I've spoken w/ several people about them, but there doesn't seem to be a set format to them; ie: some have kickers part of offense, some have them separate etc. I would seriously need help to participate. Someone also mentioned mock drafts on Yahoo - how do u find it, what's the url or search query?

I'm in ATD. I think this marks like my 6th or 7th league total lol. What is the max amount of teams in your league ATD, I'm looking at the divisions and 2 divisions have 3 players and the other 2 have 4 teams.

ER, are you capping it off at 18 teams or will you go to 20?

16 teams total. Are you sure you saw two divisions with 4 teams? Right now only one division has four, the rest have three.
