Alright boys and girls, it's that time again!
We've made some changes this year to hopefully make this a more inviting and enjoyable experience for all of us. I think I can speak for the bulk of us when I say that fleaflicker.com sucks. So, we've moved over to ESPN. Their website is better and their mobile apps are the best fantasy football apps I've ever used. I'm not sure about Android based platforms, but the iPad app for the ESPN Fantasy Football is probably my favorite app ever. Also, the ESPN INsider, should you decide to purchase it (which isn't required) gives you some other pretty cool features not only for fantasy football, but for rumor mill stuff, etc. Just my little plug.
Beyond that, most everything is still the same. We're doing two conferences with the Eastern Conference being run by me, and the Western Conference run by Chidoze. Both leagues are already created on ESPN.com, so all we need to do now is get names. We're doing 10-team leagues, but if we get enough interest we'd be willing to expand to 12-team leagues. As usual, it's first come first serve!
The registration deadline will be Sunday, August 18, 2013. I'll keep a running update of who has registered in this post. If we need to accommodate more, like I said, we will do our best.

Once there is a final list, names will be put in to a hat and drawn at random for placement in to a conference. From there, e-mail invites will be sent by Chidoze and me. From there, you will be able to join the league, rank your players, etc.
We're doing a live, 16 round draft with 90 seconds time per pick.
Roster requirements:
QB - 1
RB - 2
WR - 2
TE - 1
FLEX (WR/RB/TE) - 1
K - 1
TM - 1
Bench -7
Total 16 (Nine starters, seven benched)
The scoring is pretty standard stuff. I'm not going to list it all out like Chidoze did last year because I'm not that awesome. You'll be able to view the scoring breakdown and scoring tiebreakers when you're in the league, but it's standard stuff for the most part.
Hopefully the leagues fill fast and we can get this thing going fast. The sooner the better. Let the games begin!
