OK, I have been passed stewardship of Paul's Matrix leagues this year. Emails have been sent out to existing managers, so please check if you are interested in rejoining. For those of you not in the leagues, but are interested in joining, please PM me with your interested league and email address. I am going to give returning managers until Saturday to respond, given the time frame, so I will open up the leagues to requests on a first come, first served basis, starting this weekend.

Info on the leagues:

Matrix Basic - balanced scoring, small teams, Auto-draft

Matrix Pro - weighted for stats over scoring - individual defensive players - online draft

Matrix Hall of Fame - weighted scoring over stats, keeper league - last years players get to keep two players at different positions paying base auction price, then online auction draft.

Ok everyone, our traditional Matrix Fantasy Football leagues are up, please see the post above this one and PM Breezly if you wish to join.

Prize for this year is a free download game of your choice to the winner of each league (as well as bragging rights). Participation is free!

Regards,

[Cap Mandrake]

I just signed up for the Basic League and unbalanced the divisions. Perhaps we need one more Paul?

Yes, as posts above already say.

It's being run through YAHOO! Fantasy Football.

[Chickenboy]

Alright, I'm in...[8D]

[Cap Mandrake]

How long do these on-line drafts take? I might try the Pro league but am a bit concerned about the time committment.

Also, pretend I don't know any defensive players except Mean Joe Green. Could I still muddle through?

[Breezly]

Best thing to do is take a look at the Player List and see what the players did with last years stats. It helps gauge value. It takes about and hour and a half for the draft, it goes quickly with a minute-thirty for each pick max. Keep an eye on when people start picking defense, line backers are big point getters, so they are the RB of the defense.

The Pro League has 10 teams with potentially one more, so we can get to 12 if someone else is interested, let me know. The basic league is full at 14, I do not think I want to go higher.

We definitely need some folks for the Hall of Fame league. This is an auction style draft with quite a few positions. If you are feeling up for it, let me knwo.

Hi guys,

The other leagues are pretty much full, but the Hall of Fame league still has spots open. We only have four teams in there now. If you are interested, please sign up for the Hall of Fame league!

Working on my draft. Can someone point me to a list of NFL players either in jail or out on bond and on team suspension?

[Erik Rutins]
