The league actually started in 2002, but re-emerged in 2007 after a 5 year hiatus.
Our goal is to be a fantasy football league with international bragging rights on the line. One week you could be whopping Iran, the other Texas, and the third Venezuela...or you may be losing to New Brunswick if you don't make that vital trade with Arizona!
In this league, we try to combine national (or state) pride with a good fantasy football setup to the enjoyment of everyone involved. Hopefully this is something you want to take part in, representing your country or state.
We have one owner representing each country / state. Countries for all nations outside the U.S. and Canada; states/provinces for the U.S and Canada.
The league is divided into four conferences with 12 teams each. Each with their separate drafts and separate player pools. The top 4 teams from each conference goes on to the winner's bracket of the playoffs, which concludes in our very own World Bowl!
You can view the league setup by going to the International Fantasy League.
As you can see there, we're a redraft league.
The draft(s) will be held on the 30th/31st of August or 6th/7th of September (depending on owner feedback in current polling).
Team names are the names of the countries/states. No nicknames or similar. It looks like this:
Iowa 30 - North Dakota 22
Ontario 49 - Virginia 50
Bangladesh 12 - Australia 22
and so on
Although we use RTSports' Platinum setup, there will be NO fee for you to participate in 2009.
You can contact me on silencer@tnfj.com if this sounds interesting to you. Please remember to include which country/state you would be interested in representing --> See post below for details on which states/countries are already represented, which should also tell you which ones aren't
