For ex: If you want to start someone that plays on Thursday, you must have them entered as a starter by kickoff of that game

TOS or PD, can you please pin this.

Make sure to take a look guys and make sure everything is perfect. I think we have come a very long way in one year. The only thing that we need to figure out is where does the $50 for the toilet bowl come from? After that I think we are good.


BigMike

Done.

I think the $50 should come off the first place finisher, at $1500, that's a nice payday, we could make it $1450 and i don't think that it bad either.

??

I agree. If I get a check for $1450 in January I will not be upset

Works for me. I won't complain about a $1450 check. I would like a better draft position though...
