Both leagues are PPR, bonuses, return yds to the IOP, and 4 IDPs each (1 LB, 1 DE, 1 DB, 1 IDP flex), both draft Labor Day weekend. football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/53219 - Sole commish for 4 years, 12-teamer, simple redraft - 1 spot def avail (I don't tolerate inactivity too well), 2 MAYBE football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/5921 - Co-commish 1 year, 3 keeper - 10-teamer, we'd like to expand to 12 - spot avail is that of multiple scorgasms, jorgen (jersdal) might also not return (he will if we can't fill it, but I'm sure we can). The Commish (Neil/njc71) meant for 12, and had invited 2 other Brits that were MIA since July, so we had to remove them last minute. Neil takes 3 weeks vaca right b4 the draft, I didn't know what to do. So there may be up to 3 or 4 spots avail. We've been working on how we can do this fairly with the keepers. I came up with us each first picking 2 keeps and letting the new 11th and 12 guys then pick their 2 or 3 keepers from the rest of our rosters in either snake fashion (1-2-1) or 1-1-1-1-1-1 (no more than 1 keeper from any 1 owner). It was 10 teams, so there should be plenty to choose from. Any thoughts on this? We might leave it at 10 if we can't figure out something fair, or if it's too great a PITA. Anyway, goatboyz and shaggz, you're in that one, so I thought of you (or maybe misslacy for either?) for mine. Again 2 spots tops there probably. Mitchxxxx/moniker, you could definitely have a spot in the 2nd one. So please have a look at the settings, and lemme know. If anyone else is interested, especially in the 2nd one, also lemme know. Thanks. ****Edit: Please see new update on last page.

That helped you? lol I suspect you've never played FF? Don't worry, you'd still be invited, but I gotta tell you, league #2 is not great for beginners. Mine is marginal. No idea if Yahoo has mocks. This is what I (and many) use for mocks... fantasyfootballcalculator.com/ As far as I know there are no mocks for IDPs. And the way Yahoo lists the IDPs during the draft looks like it's in no particular order. Ask ace, you gotta do your homework and flush them out by a name search. It's awful. lol

That 4 year commish thing, what it is?

That 4 year commish thing, what it is? What do you mean by 'change your lineup every week'? We can change a lineup, but we don't draft every week. No, the 1st (my league that is 4 years old) is not a dynasty. We draft fresh each year, no keepers. So it's simple in that sense. Oh, do you mean what is a 'commish'? Yeah, the NFL calls them LMs (league managers). Yahoo calls them 'commish' as in 'commissioners'. My 1st year doing it, I had no idea what 'commish tools' were, someone had to tell me how to make a change. hehe

You can have any player you want at any time. That are the NFL Rush leagues, but i'm trying something more mature which is this drafting thing, waiver wires, bench, etc. And since the word dynasty has been brought, I don't think I would be interested in doing a dynasty league. The same players every year...I like to change things in a while

No, this is NOT dynasty in Neil's league. Keeper - we keep 3 only. The rules we've established mirror another Graveyard league we are in. You can't keep them more than 1 time or 2 full years. Like if you traded for them anytime after week 1, you can keep them twice. The rounds we lose for the players kept are the rounds you drafted them in. I have a Proboards that covers 4 leagues, and I'd invite you to see the rules there.
Jancey, the spot that will open in both is Multiple Scorgasms (I think his name was something like buckeyestyles in the forums - was in at least 1 of ace's best ball leagues as well). But he also left a player or 2 in on a bye in there during the mid season a couple weeks. He's in both mine and Neil's, but never signed in after late Nov, and rarely talked or made moves. He finished 1st at my league, as you know. I finished 2nd, but I am not bitter. Nothing to do with that. lol
***Edit: I had emailed him once and he said it wouldn't happen again. He might have been going thru a tough time. But it happened again, and he disappeared a couple weeks later.

(or maybe misslacy for either?) ;D ;D Is that big and cheesy enough for you. Oh, I promise not to fill my team up with all GB Packers, dive. Ok--maybe on DEF, tho.

Fill up w/Packers at your own risk. But they've seriously improved on their pass D. The return yards have been great. Cobb pulled through for me. Just hard to judge where Cobb/Jordy/Jennings will stand next year, as the latter 2 were not healthy for weeks at a time. Would love to have you in one of my leagues if you have the time or interest.
