Would anybody be interested? I've used LeagueSafe with my friends and it made collecting and maintaining dues much easier. I already have an account created in case there's enough interest. I have yet to create the ESPN league because I'd like to get a majority rule on the specifics of the league (# of teams, draft date, general rules, dues, payouts, etc).

I personally don't care, that's sometime else that could be up for discussion. I'd done both of them, no real preference.

Id be down, but also only for Yahoo!

I havent used ESPN for football before, but I HATE them for baseball. I love Yahoo! for both.

I'd probably be down. I mean, I am the reigning champion of my league (haha). But, like others, Id like to see some rules first as well. As for ESPN or Yahoo.. I dont really care.

Yeah, I also need the rules. I definitely want to get in a money league though.

But I am not a fan at all of:
-2 QBs
-2 TEs
-2 DEF
-ETC.

I like the standard scoring, with the standard line-up (QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF). I am ok with a RB/WR FLEX as well, but not much more.

I'd be down and I like Yahoo better than ESPN as well. I would also like to kept the positions and scoring standard like Lalely mentioned or having a RB/WR flex wouldn't be so bad.

That's how I like the league as well. I do like the flex option. I like standard scoring. Pretty straight forward. What time of dues are we possibly looking at?

With the interest on here and some of the people I live by, we're up to 9 guys showing interest. Some people prefer $25, while others prefer $50. The league will be held through yahoo. The league will be 10 guys. I have created the league on yahoo. NOTHING is final yet. I WANT your input. I just put some slop together to critique the league and get it the way people want. The live draft will probably present problems, but I set it up just in case it actually works for everybody since stuff it going quickly. It's schedule for wed Sept 7 @8e. So check out the scoring options, the setup of the starters, the setup of the playoffs. Leave some comments and hopefully by the end of the week we can actually get this thing up and running. I also need some input on a payout scale. I guess it does depend on whether its 25 or 50. I'm thinking maybe a 60,30,10 scale if it's $50 and maybe just a 80/20 if its $25? Leave me your emails so i can send you the league info to look at it.

I guess Im down for a 50$ pay-in, and that way we can go 60-30-10.

Another thing we can discuss, which Ive never done but heard of is:
50-20 (playoffs)
20-10 (regular season)

I'd prefer just pay off of the playoff results. That way 3rd place would still earn their money back.

The current live draft date should be fine for me.

$50 buy in would be fine with me.

And...whats the link for it to check out the stuff?

Up to five right now. Been working a lot lately, but I'll get back to getting some people here soon. Once we get a full ten, dues can start to be collected.

We have 6 guys signed up right now. I have two guys that are in, I just need to send them the link and get them signed up. I've got a few other guys interested. My goal is to have 10 guys all signed up by the end of the weekend. Once we get 10 guys signed up, then we'll spend a couple days getting the majority rule on some aspects of the league (payout scale, scoring, regular season schedule, playoff schedule, etc). Once that is all accomplished, I'll send out the information to the website where dues are collected and maintained. My goal is to have everything in stone by 8/21, so dues can be collected by 9/1. I want to give myself a few days just in case one of assholes don't end up paying on time and I have to find a replacement late.
