Matty,
I can email you some basic info. We form leagues for individuals, and have set rules/scoring for those, but also do stats for private leagues with completely modifiable rules (you would be in that category). Our scoring system is excellent, so I would really like you to at least consider it. You can make any mods you like. I will not charge for any leagues you would like me to run.
For drafts, you can hold the draft any way you like, and enter the rosters (or send them to us to enter). If you like, I will run the draft for you - I usually charge for that, but will not for one or two Warpath leagues. My draft schedule is so packed in August, I would not want to commit to more than that. The guys LOVE our drafts, but you REALLY have to be prepared if you are going to do one of them. It is a conference call draft - everyone live on the phone line. It is a lightning draft. We allow 20 seconds to make a pick. In our "individuals" leagues, guys generally call out their pick immediately after I call their name, so they really move. We have had a 16-team 25-round draft take less than 90 minutes (but typically take a full 2 hours). We also have online support that automatically shows your top couple players at each position and top 12 overall (based on your ratings). This updates immediately as I am running the draft. But even with this support, you must be connected to the conference call. So, anyhow, that is available if you want it.
We use individual defensive players in all of our "individuals" leagues, but many of our private leagues use DT's. It just depends on how much the guys would want to get into it. We also have available in our leagues:
- coaches (get 3-6 points for games won, depending on margin of victory)
- Kick returners (PR/KR yards and TDS - can also be in another lineup position)
- Several combo positions (H-Back<WR/RB/TE>, DF<DL/LB>, Nickel<DL/LB/DB)
- Fantasy bonus (add 50% more points to any player in your lineup - can only be used 2 times during the season - save for key matchups)
- Alternates (EX: QB Alternate scores if your starting QB does not play OR if your starting QB gets zero - you choose which option your league would use)
- BYE WEEK AVERAGING!! (If your player is in a BYE, you can play him, and get his average year-to-date score. This eliminates having to draft around the NFL schedule to be sure not all QB's, RB's or WR's are on a BYE together. Like all these other items, it is an OPTION your league can select - but is very popular with our customer base)
- Injured reserve
- Practice squad (for keeper leagues only)
We allow lineup changes until Sunday gametime, even when there are Thursday or Saturday games. (No changes to Thursday players after their game starts). One drawback - we do not have live updates - would cost us $20,000 per year. But we did fork over the $8000 to get updates 30 minutes after the games are over, so you get very accurate scoring for the early games a while after the late games are underway. Most of those "live" updates have errors, anyhow.
Oh yeah, I can collect the money if you like. But I will require payment before the draft. Otherwise, you can handle it and pay the prizes.
