Anyone interested in getting into a fantasy football league? If there is enough interest (10 people) I could check into it. I belong to one through CBS Sports Online.

Me too
I just did one on ESPN.com but it would be fun to do with folks from here.
I'm in if it can fit my schedule.Comment

If we get enough people, male and female, would we want a just for fun league or a league that has a payout at the end of the season for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places.

I'm in if it is for fun. Yahoo has them for free or you can pay $150 for your league for more features.
I'm already in one league but really must start preparing for the draft! It will be here before I know it.

I was thinking maybe just the label Gold Crown, Five Star and Silver Crown designating the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place finishers as a sobriquet next to our Forum names.Comment

Just so you all know, I have plans to eventually set up some pool, league, and similar stuff for the points system here on the site. There are no existing scripts to do that at this point so it may be a while before this is running...Comment

If you are interested in joining a fantasy football league but you are not sure what it is all about here is a good place to start Fantasy Football 101.
It looks like we are getting close to having enough people interested to start a league.
Here are couple of thoughts.
ESPN, Yahoo, or CBS would be good places to create a league. They all have different levels for creating a league
ranging from free to $130.00 - $160.00 per league.
How does this look for scoring?
Scoring for Offensive Categories- FG - Field Goals 3 points
- Plus 1 point for a FG of 40 to 49 Yds
- Plus 2 points for a FG of 50+ Yds
- Kick Return TD 6 points
- Punt Return TD 6 points
- Passing Two-point Conversion 2 points
- Passing TD 6 points
- Passing Yards 0+ PaYds = .1 points for every 3 PaYds
- Receiving Two-point Conversion 2 points
- Receiving TD 6 points
- Receiving Yards 0+ ReYds = .1 points for every 1 ReYd
- Rushing Two-point Conversion 2 points
- Rushing TD 6 points
- Rushing Yards 0+ RuYds = .1 points for every 1 RuYd
- Extra Points 1 point
Scoring for Defensive Categories- DFR - Defensive/ST Fumble Recovered (ID/DT/DST) 3 points
- DTD - Total Defensive and Special Teams TD 8 points
- Int - Interceptions 3 points
- PA - Points Against, Total Points Scored 0 - 10 PA = 5 points
- SACK - Sack 1 point
- STY - Safety 4 points
Using .1 of a point for passing, rushing, and receiving yards avoids any weekly ties..
Don't know if this can be done with ESPN or Yahoo
How does this look for a roster?- Total Players 16
- Active Players 9
- Reserve Players 7
For game day Rosters- Active QB 1
- Active RB 2
- Active WR 3
- Active TE 1
- Active K 1
- Active DST 1
Any comments or questions?

Mike,
I would say go with only 2 WR's. And maybe have a flex position, where you can start either a RB, WR, or TE as that extra Offensive position.
Yahoo's leagues are set up this way.Are you my friend Danny? How about a Fresca?Comment

Looks Good
Mike,
I agree with the flex instead of the third receiver but other than that I think it looks good. If you want to go totally with the original, Hey, you're the commissioner, right?
