URGENT LEAGUE FILLING ANNOUNCEMENT:
EPSILON 60: 12 team Contract Keeper League, $150 covers first 3 years of entry fees keeping owners involved, LIVE Draft on Tuesday the 2nd at 7 PM Eastern. 10 signed up, 9 paid.
Phenoms Fantasy Football is now up and running for 2008. If you're looking for quality money leagues, look no further. What makes Phenoms FF so great?
* Prizes – The prize payouts are the best you’ll find. Cash returned varies from 80% to 95%. Prizes are awarded to the top three in each league as well as the Season Points Leader. Look around and you’ll quickly see that Phenoms offers the best prize payouts.
* Competitiveness – The leagues have competitive owners that stay active throughout the entire season. Owners are recruited from some of the most active fantasy football message boards (a lot from the FBG Boards) and websites.
* Fair – The commissioner (me) of the Phenoms Leagues has been a commissioner for 17 years. I've seen nearly everything and dealt with nearly everything. My experience has helped to create the fairest rules possible and maintain the integrity of the leagues throughout the season.
* Trustworthy – You can trust Phenom Enterprises to properly handle the league finances and distribute the prizes in a timely manner.
* Customer Service – I will answer your questions as quickly as possible. I’ll be online during your draft or auction to make sure it runs smoothly. I’ll have the phone ready to help you out should something go wrong during your draft.
Visit

Unlucky I like the idea top 4 teams go to playoffs (record wise), better then having two Divisions..had 4th best record last year in a league, but all in my division..results the team who won the other division got to playoffs with a lower record then me.

Looking forward to it.

If the rules are still the same as last year..you can go to the site when setup about 24 hours before it starts (sometimes earlier). The Commish will email you a password and you can change that password later to whatever you wish. Also the draft order will be showned once the site is up.

Yes, I host a ton of leagues. The idea being that Phenoms FF is a reputable site where you can join several leagues and feel confident in the integrity of the league.
IDP leagues are harder to fill, and thus there is no IDP Auction style league currently offered. Honestly, it likely wouldn't fill. As more and more people play in Phenoms Leagues, I can offer more options.

I just added two more SEMI-SLOW drafts, ALPHA 33 and 103, as well as two LIVE drafts on Saturday, August 30th, and one on Sunday, August 31st.
Some of the SLOW and SEMI-SLOW drafts that haven't filled have been bumped back a week in order to get them filled.
Still looking for more high rollers for the $500 leagues. It's hard to beat 95% payout for that kind of entry fee.

Most Phenoms leagues are the same when it comes to draft position...when your league is setup and you receive the pass word (emailed) then at the leagues web site your'll see where your draft spot is.
Glad both are almost full..Omega 10 and 20 at 68 owners each now...but if ya don't pay..you don't play and lose ya chance for big bucks!

Please everyone in all leagues...PAY UP! Every year it's the same thing, waiting for people to pay. I hate not knowing my draft slot until the last minute! I'm in 7 Phenoms leagues and only one has been set up. Been waiting for the last person in Gamma 40 to pay for a couple of weeks.

If its a normal draft, it's held on MFL. If its an auction draft, it's held on FA.
You get the link to the league website usually 1 week in advance of draft day assuming everyone is paid, sometimes sooner. That's when you find out the random draft order. You'll get an email with your login info when its ready.

hey mike --
are we allowed to own multiple teams in Omega 10?
since we're so close to filling and some people don't seem to want to pay, i might just sign for a second team in the contest and pay via paypal immediately. as long as my teams are in different omega subleagues, is that acceptable?
i'm motivated to find my draft slot(s) and to stick it to the people who don't know how to cut a check.

You can't have multiple teams in OMEGA 10. I know that it's not really a big deal since you couldn't cheat in any way, but you can't do it. Only 6 spots left unpaid - it will fill quickly.
