1st post updated.

OK, here's the deal: there were 10 people on the 4th league list, not counting me. So, I can't be the one to create that last league under my login. What I need is someone on that list (see 1st post for names) to give me their Y! login, or make one up just for this league. Then, I can create the league under that login and go from there and invite people.

DPOSCORP: I have Ben on that list, since he's played in the past. He also gave me his Y! login in the past for this. Can you ask him if he plans to play this year?

As a league champ 2 years in a row I'll be back to stomp some chumps into dust. I'll give Idchafee my Yahoo account info when I get a chance so he can create the league under my account, have to change the password for it first.

Should we pre-assign write-up duty on a per-league/per-week basis now?
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

Sweet, I may not have missed the boat after all. Good to know. Again and again, thank you for running all of this, Stiffie. It seems like it grows more and more each year.

No boat has been missed, it seems. It looks like we will in fact have a 5th league. I have Ben's Y! info and will set up the 4th league today at lunch. I hope I can find the PM's from the people in that league to send the invites to....

1st post updated.

Pettytheft drug his feet getting signed up for the Blue Theme league, so I slid Dizik into that slot to fill out that league. The 4th league (TR...OutOfNames) is full, and I have 4 people waiting for a 5th league ( :o ). I'm going to hold off on the 5th league (name TBA) until the slots in the 4th league are all filled. I'm stil waiting on a reply from 3 of the people in that 4th league for an e-mail address to send the invite to.

But I'm 99% sure that there will be a 5th league. I will likely put out another call for someone to give me their Y! name/password to use to set up the league.

here's a thought for next year since we have so many leagues.... next year we go with Conferences and divisions... with the top 2 teams from each league forming the next year's winner's league, down to the bottom two teams from each league (assuming they aren't deadbeats) forming the toilet league... so the year after, there is essentially a bracketing for the winners and losers.. and in order to stay in the top league, you need to be in the top 2 slots.. otherwise you'll get bounced...

Alternatively, we figure out some way to have playoffs across the leagues, with a Superbowl at the end...

Sounds interesting. Top two players at the end from each of the 5 free leagues on a 10 player "winners" league next year...

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL (fantasy) FOOTBALL SEASON. :o

I find myself reading football stuff already. doh. :lol:

It's amusing seeing how much the "top 50" style fantasy boards can vary so much from site to site.

The WR's (and Brady and Romo) doing so well last year has really shaken up drafting strategy.

Picking RB-RB first used to be what the experts recommended - not quite so simple anymore.

That sounds a great idea. (I'll like it even better if there ends up being a 5th league so I can play in a non-keeper game this year). I'd think that an easy (but possibly not very exciting) way to the the SUperbowl for that setup would be to just take the scores of the winners in their final games and compare them. Higher score = winner for the year. Of course, that gets really messy when you consider that teams from different leagues could very possibly have some of the same players.

The bigger issue is that the winner in the league with the crappiest other players is going to have a better shot at a stronger roster. FFL is played against the people you're in a league with.

That is the reason why a playoff is a good idea, if it can be done.

If there's a same top 2 player from another league situation - I guess the next slot down could be the winner league pick in that case.
