New Competitive Fantasy Football league

[jsarno]

I started a new league for people that are first and foremost, good at fantasy football. This is a league of only 10 participants, but you will start a lot of players. You will be able to score points in many ways, not just a TD league!
The draft is Saturday, Sept 1st. (That's this saturday) At 6:00pm Eastern. If you can not be at the draft, please do not sign up. Also, if you suck at fantasy football, please do not sign up. I want to keep this as competitive as possible. The point is to make a league that would be tough to win and be ultra competitive. No cheaters allowed.
If you have what it takes, please sign up and we'll have a great year.

it's a yahoo league:

Can you post what the scoring settings are? How many players are you starting?

Give me about 10-15 minutes, and I'll have it posted here.

OK, here you go guys. There are only 10 teams allowed in the league. I would have liked to see more teams, but when you have to start 2 qb's, you can't do 12 teams or more, same with 2 kickers and 2 defenses.
With all the positions you start, it will be a deep league, and with all the stats, it will be a competitive league.

Thanks anyway.
I know every person has different preferences in terms of fantasy teams. I feel this kind of league is a ton more challenging cause there are more intangibles involved. It requires more thought, and knowledge of a broader band of players.
If you change you mind, you're more than welcome to join.

It would be a challenge no doubt, but with that many starters I think you're going to really stretch the available talent pool, and you'll end up with total scrubs starting in some cases and benches that are worthless.

For the most part, I can agree with that. It's a league that could make someone like Rock Cartright valuable for his return yards. What it really does is make the draft VERY important, and there likely won't be many great pickups on the waiver wire. You have to be a visionary, and if you know football, you'll do well, if not, then you could struggle.
I enjoy more challenging leagues, and this one is perfect for me, hopefully it will be for others too. But like I said, I understand it's not for everyone...especially those that are just the "casual" fan, or young fantasy player...those kinds of players will find it difficult. The seasoned fantasy football players will find it very challenging, and hopefully fun.

Well, I would have liked for you to give it a shot, but I understand you not wanting to. Good luck in your other leagues.

A little too involved for my taste but good luck with it

Well, one of the reasons I said that no one can join unless they are at the draft is to cut down on the time.
I was involved in a 14 man league with 25 players (max), and it went faster than you would think. The auto drafters held us back because it will go down all the way on an auto draft for some reason. Most made their pick within 10-15 seconds of their turn.
