Some of you have had some problems signing up, etc.
We can have a league of up to 20 members. However, to expand it would be best to have pairs of two join, keeping the divisions even. When there is an uneven number, there will be "bye weeks."
Some of you still need to confirm your membership, and make sure you stay committed.
In case I haven't already explained, when you receive the invitation email, click the link to join, and it will bring you to a follow up page. At this point, you need to click another link to confirm your joining of the league.
You may need to create an account on ESPN.com. This only takes a minute, and it's free. Make a basic, non-complicated username and password to save yourself any trouble.
Once you have done this, you can change your team name, make adjustments to your draft plans (in case you won't be available for the draft, you may order a list of players you want.) Your team will be auto-picked if you aren't present, with the highest player on your list being picked each round.
The draft will be on Thursday, August 12th, at 9:00 PM, Eastern Time.
It is a live "Snake" Draft. It is called this because after each round, drafting order is flipped. (Pick #12 will pick first in the second round, etc.)
Draft Order is randomized one hour before draft time.
There are 90 seconds for each pick.
Player trades will have a
2 day approval period, and
may be vetoed by the league if deemed unfair. 5 or more votes are required to veto a trade.
The trade deadline is Wednesday, November 24, 12PM Eastern Time.
When you pick up a player, they will be added to your roster
but there is a one day waiver period. When the day is up, the acquisition becomes official and you may use that player.
Make sure you pick up players in advance of game day. The league observes the "ESPN No-Drop List," meaning when you pick up certain players, they may have the "No-Drop" tag.
Once you acquire one of these players, you cannot drop them for another player. You will know which players these are before you pick them up.
The top 6 teams will make the playoffs, with the top two having a first-round bye. Playoffs will begin during the 14th week of the season, and run for three weeks.
In the event of a tie, the team which has the most QB points will be the winner.
There is a prize that goes to the winner of the league. The League Champion will receive a $25 American Express/VISA Gift Card.
The winner will send me their address so they can be mailed their prize.
There are no strings attached. You win the league, you win the prize.
