Welcome everyone! This is the forum's official fantasy league, and is open to all members. There are a few changes this year, namely in conference commissioners, but everything else will remain the same as in years past (If it aint broke, dont fix it). Reidman and dogfish have served as the forums official league commissioners for 3 years and did an awesome job . They are however, unable to participate this year. So SeeingRed, and Myself, Chidoze, will take over the league and continue the tradition of Broncos Forums Fantasy Football.
Last year, there was a minimum of 500 posts as a baseline requirement for entry, this will continue in 2011. There will be exceptions if you've been here for a while and/or are active on a regular basis, new members and so on. We would like to keep membership to BF regulars, as that is, after all, the point of the official Forums League.
As last year, the league will be separated into two (2) conferences that actually function as independent leagues (each conference will have it's own draft, pool of players, etc), and the overall league champion will be the conference winner that scores the most points in the championship game in week sixteen. Everyone who "registers" in this thread is welcome to play as long as we have even numbers to make the conferences, but it's going to be on a first-come first serve basis, so if you want to play in 2011, post in this thread.
I'm going to make August 28, 2011 the registration deadline, so if you want in now's the time to sign up! We had 20 participants last year, but there is always room for more. We will keep the league size to 20 and if we get past twenty entrants I Dwill keep a running tally and update-- we can accomodate as many as want to play, as long as we have even numbers that can easily be broken into multiple conferences (20, 24 30 etc).
participants so far are:

list will be updated as others join. . .
Once there is a final list, each participant will be randomly placed into a conference, and then we'll send out invites and get everything set up. Since each conference will have its own draft, I won't be able to give you draft dates until we know who's in which group. Each conference will follow the exact same rules, which will be as follows (same rules as last year, for those who participated):
This is a standard head-to-head style league-- when I know the size of each conference, I'll let you know how many teams will make the playoffs. Week 16 will be the championship. We'll do a live, online draft-- 18 rounds, snaking each round. We'll be using fleaflicker again this year.
