So far we have 6 signed up:
1) WilltheThrill
2) bmurph
3) Nightcrawler
4) jta
5) handicappers
6) gregrey

We need at least 2 more, preferably 4 more.

It looks as though head 2 head points with weekly lineups will be the scoring system used, as everyone has chosen that so far.

Still a split vote on the website, with 3 votes Yahoo and 2 votes ESPN.

Let's try to get the last 2 or 4 spots filled this week.

So I have Kramerica that finished in 2nd place in last years league and 2 others that are wanting to play. I will get their votes for the site, but we need to keep in mind that it should probably be a free site. Not sure if ESPN has free leagues but the CBS league last year cost me $180. I was more than happy to pay for it, but I cant do it every season. If we aren't going to do a free league, I suggest maybe a different person volunteer to pay each season, or we figure out a way to split it between each team. Seems like a free site would make the most sense though. I know a few have boycotted Yahoo, but I do know there are free leagues on yahoo. That said adding 3 more teams to this means we still need to find another

Could always beg someone who posts here to play or have someone join and auto draft / not put any effort into it if they don't want too.

Depending on our timeline for the draft and such, I might even be able to find another beforehand

If any of you guys are interested in joining a 12 team rotisserie style fantasy baseball league let me know. I have had a league on Yahoo since 2009 and we usually have 3 or 4 guys who don't renew each year so we should have some openings.

To get things rolling along, I went ahead and created our league on Yahoo scheduled to draft on March 28 at 8:30 pm Central.

If the league decides on ESPN instead of Yahoo, I can create an identical league there. I chose March 28 at 8:30 just as a placeholder date and time. If that doesn't work, we can always change it.

The scoring is head-to-head points with weekly lineups, as voted on by the league. The points settings are identical to how we had them in season 1 of this league. For those of you new to the league, those settings are what both CBS and ESPN use as their standard default settings for points leagues. We can always change them before the draft if you want.

Once the final Yahoo/ESPN decision is confirmed, I will send out invites to join.

As long as no one from Pakistan tries to use my account again then I shouldn't have any problems with Yahoo

Once they tried to access my account I was never able to log on again

8:30 central is about as late as I'd be willing to do a draft on Saturday

Sunday evening like 8pm central may be better for some? That's my preference
