I've run a league (UFL) for about 20 years. The rules are fairly standard (reply here and I'll send) - PPR scoring, h2h with 3 divisions, owners in each division play each other 2 times and the other 8 teams 1 time (14 week regular season). Division winners and team with most ytd points that didn't win division go to playoffs, which happen in weeks 15 and 16. Fee is $130, and all is paid out. Largest prizes are for week 1-16 total pts 1st and 2nd, and 1st and 2nd in playoffs. Payouts for every h2h win, winning division, being the wildcard, highest score in weeks 15, 16 and 17. It is on ESPN.
This year I'm starting a new league with everything the same as UFL with 2 exceptions:
1) We'll use a slow auction on couchmanagers.com for the draft. This will start on 8/22 and should take 10-14 days. Slow auctions are a blast! There are 24 players up for auction at all times, and you have up to 12 hours to make a bid on any player.
2) For this season we will have no trading. With some of the owners already familiar with each other from UFL, trading may put the new owners at a disadvantage. If trading is desired, we can have it, but I'd prefer to wait until the 2nd season of the league.
I am not partial to LeagueSafe (cumbersome, has fees, and not necessary IMO). If you have any concerns, I'll put you in touch with the owners who are coming to this league from UFL, and they'll vouch that I'm honest, fair, and capable. If it winds up being a deal-breaker (i.e. we can't find enough owners without LeagueSafe), we can use it. I just hate to waste the league's money. Note that I'm very strict with money - everyone must pay well before the start of the draft or you'll be replaced.
We currently have 5 owners, and I'd like to have 12. Please reply here with questions or to indicate your interest, and give me a way to contact you with rules and other league details. The league site is http://games.espn.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=421318. I don't know if you'll need to be invited to see the details. If so, let me know and I'll send an invite.
Hope you decide to join!
