I currently use ESPN, myfantasyleague.com, and yahoo.

None are perfect and I am comfortable using any of them, but would prefer that we don't have to pay to play.

As for money...I was thinking $50 a person.

This would allow for multiple prizes and make it "worth it" from my standpoint.

What do you guys think?

Sounds good.  I use ESPN for two other leagues and find it more than adequate considering there is no fee.

I like ESPN but mainly because I am familiar with it and the draft always seems to work pretty smoothly and quickly.

I look forward to the season getting started.  I am cool with the entry.

Just let me know the details on the draft date/time and league info.

Hope to be drafting soon!

It works for me, so does ESPN FFL.

Ok, looks like we have 10 people and everybody is in agreement with the entry fee of $50.

Please send me an e-mail (you can click on the envelope under my avatar) with a subject line of "AC FFL".

In the next two days I will get the league created (we will use ESPN) and invite everybody.

The first couple of things to take care of will include determining a draft day and how to structure league awards.

From this point forward, we can use e-mail as our communication vehicle.

Guys,

When you send me your e-mail, please also include your name (real and AC).

While I know who some of you are, I don't know everybody who wants in.

Thanks,

George

See if this works for you:

If not, under the "League" tab, choose settings.

30 minutes till the draft starts.

Draft order has been set and you will see it when you log into the draft.

ESPN gave me the 10th spot in our 10 person league.

Well,

I was in the drafting room and then I got called away to attend to the Needs of the Family:duh:  So I ended up with 3 kickers and 3 defenses.  :oops: I need more RB/WRs.  How do I trade, waive, pick up players?

Can you tell this is my first time?  :lol:

Thanks George for putting the league together.

I got really lucky in the post season and won!  :dance: 

Aside from Adrian Peterson, I got lucky with a few FA pick ups.  Let's do it again next year.   :thumb:
