Ideally, I'd like to have at least 12 teams in the league, but depending on interest, I'd be willing to have 14 (max). If you're interested in playing, reserve your spot here and I'll get the league started as soon as registration begins in early February. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I'm not "that guy". However, it's funny because there's usually one guy in each league that drafts mostly Yankees or mostly Red Sox. 9 times out of 10, "that guy" finishes near the bottom in rankings.
So, yeah...feel free to draft all Brewers.

i was in a league last year and a lot of brewers players fell, so i was able to draft them late and i took 2nd. im not sure the ryan brauns and prince fielders of the team will be slipping to me this year though. i had to make a comment based purely on you being a cubbies fan and me being a brew crew fan though.

Is it a head to head league, becuase I don't like them. Also , whats the scoring system please? Personally prefer fantasy point system leagues.

I'm personally not a fan of Rotisserie...
As for scoring...the default Yahoo scoring will be used. I always go that route because you can never please everyone when you change the scoring.
All of this will be put to a vote among league managers once the league is full.

In a Head-to-Head League, your team will square off in a weekly matchup against another fantasy team to see who can compile the best stats across a number of different categories.
A new weekly matchup begins every Monday and will consist of a set number of games based on your league's statistical categories. Each stat category counts as one game, with the win going to the team that finishes the week with the highest total in that category (the cumulative total after each Sunday's games).
So, if in a given week, your team hits more home runs than your opponent's, you would be credited with a victory. However, if your opponent's team ended the week with more saves than your team, you would be charged with a loss. If the two teams end up tied in a given category, each will receive credit for a tied game.
This weekly win-loss total will be added to a cumulative season record, which will be used to determine standings and playoff seedings. These standings will be based on your team's overall winning percentage, which is calculated by taking your win total and adding one-half of your tie total and dividing the sum by the total number of games your team has played.
Head-to-head scoring is available in both Public and Custom Leagues. All Public Leagues use the same default settings, while Custom League commissioners will be able to specify a number of settings, including roster size and stat categories.

Actually, now that I've thought about it...
League Type (h2h or rotisserie) and scoring (default or fantasy point) will be decided on once the league is full. All managers will vote on whether they want h2h or rotisserie and whether or not to use fantasy points or the default scoring system for Yahoo.

Looks like we'll have a NL Central feel to this league.... I'm a big Cardinal fan.
