snowman_42_98 0 Posted March 30, 2007 This is a little long, so please bear with me. This league is a cool little concept I came up with a couple of years ago, but never had the time to really put into action. Well, now I have the time to focus on this and am really hoping that there’s enough interest to truly make it work. You can read the rules and bylaws here: http://football8.myfantasyleague.com/2007/...amp;tid=1002312 They explain everything in much greater detail, but basically this is a four league event. Each league has 16 teams and for the first 10 weeks of the NFL season there are no head-to-head match-ups, only total points. After week 10 is complete, each team is ranked based on their total points from 1-16 in their league (conference). Since there are four conferences, it sets up exactly like the NCAA bracket. Starting in week 11 then, all of the teams play another team head-to-head based on their seeding (ranking). The winner moves on to week 12, and for the loser the season is over. Eventually, we get to a championship game (week 16) where one team out of 64 is crowned champion. Another nice part of this league is that it will only cost $12.50 to enter (which is what most people pay as just their share of the site fees in a normal league) and the champion takes home around $300. Other teams win money as well. For the entire payout list see the link above. The league is 100% payout as well, I feel that is very important. But basically, the league is a low risk, high reward league and should be a lot of fun. Other details: Based on last season, the bye weeks ended on week 10. This works perfectly with the tournament schedule. The teams will be mixed based on final standings the following season (if they choose to play in the league again the following year). Example: The sweet 16 teams will all be in the same conference the following year. All four drafts will start simultaneously. Also, a large league like this is very hard run by oneself, so I’ll be looking to add 3 co-commissioners to help run the league. And I know some people feel funny sending money to a person they don’t know, so I will also be looking to name someone treasurer to handle all league finances.
