We had at least 23 members in and around the Tri-State area who expressed interest in possibly joining this simple redraft league. The idea is to create this league with the idea that we'll meet together and hold a LIVE draft at a location that can work for all involved. Below is a list of the guys who threw their hat into the ring as possibly wanting to be included along with some of the basics I came up with for the league setup last year-

Irish

Dennys Vipers

** Dates- We'd discuss dates if we got things rolling.

**Location and time for the Live Draft- My first thought is possibly Hoboken, NJ as it would sort of be a happy medium for PA and NY huddlers. If need be we could move it. 5 PM is also looking like the best time.

Just to be a bit more specific in terms of rules, scoring, etc. Again this is a redraft league.

**Standard scoring with PPR- .1pt- 1 yard rush/rec, .05 pts - 20 yards pass, 6 pts- rush/rec tds, 4 pts- pass tds, 1PPR, kicking pts standard as are 2 pt. conversions. Team defense would be pretty standard as well- something like 2pts-int, 1pt-sacks/fumble rec, 6pts-tds. Not sure if I'd do a point system for how few points defenses give up. If we wanted to add Special Teams that would be fine as well and we can just make it 6 pts for every returned td.

**Rosters- 16-18 rounds (we'll decide) starting 1QB, 2RBs, 2WRs, 1FLEX (RB, WR), 1TE, 1K and 1 D. We could also make TE be part of the flex if the majority wants.

**A blind bidding system will be used as I believe it's the fairest system. All owners would start with a certain amount (ex. $100) that would be used on only players that are bid on during the BB period. Once that money is gone, owners can only pick up players during FCFS. Blind bids would start on Sunday at 1PM and the bidding period would end on Wed. night at 9PM and players would be assigned to the highest bidders. FCFS would then begin at 9PM on Wed and last until Sunday at 1PM.

**All transactions will be free unless a majority of owners felt differently. All trades would be processed unless collusion could be proven.

** Schedule- 14 Regular season weeks. Playoffs begin in Week 15- Seeds 1 and 4 play and 2 plays 3. Week 16 is the Championship game (for the winners) and game for third place (for the losers). Three places will be paid out.

** Entry Fee- $50.

**Hosting Website- Fanball.

Everything I mentioned here and more is open for discussion and league vote if the majority feels strongly enough that change or modification is needed.
