If it allows auto-draft, I'd be interested. Can't make Wednesdays to draft.

Yeah we can add another bench spot but honestly by round 17 you are searching for miracles....

I dunno about that - I have been in a lot of drafts this year and there is some real value late in the draft this year. A lot of guys I have targeted for very late especially in 12 team leagues.

MY brother can always play to make it 10 teams if you want.

Is there any shot to add an extra bench spot or two? With this many starters it will be tough to have only 6 bench spots.

I added a bench spot so the rosters will be 10 active scoring players and 7 bench spots.

It's not Greek, I can't understand it either, that's why I'm not in it, never been in a fantasy league wouldn't have a clue where to start.

Will send you a pm with details!

Based on the mock drafts I have done this is a mistake. 17 on each team is too deep - and there will be nothing left on the waivers.

Does anyone else agree?

That is kind of where I'm coming from too. It's important for the waiver wire to have some talent, to give everyone - especially the lowest placed team each week - the opportunity to improve their squad. I'd prefer 10 active and 6 bench....

It's pretty simple in principle Nick - if you follow American Football at all. Every active NFL player is listed. Each team in the FF league drafts in turn. Once a player is drafted he is not available to any other team - every player can only be on one FF team. After the draft you have picked 16 players.

It's set up so each team has 10 players on the team/active roster (they score points) and 6 reserves/bench. Each week you pick your team of 10 and ESPN automatically calculates their points for you based on how they do. The 6 you left on your bench that week don't score.

Every team has a set number of the different scoring positions - 1 QB, 2 WR (wide receivers), 2 RB (running backs), etc.

It's head-to-head so each week you play another FF team. Highest points each week gets a W. After 13 weeks the top 6 teams (most wins) go into the play-offs.

If you have a player or players on your squad who you want to drop you can swap any for available players - they are on the Waiver Wire - a list of available players. Or you can trade with another team (swap player for player).

If you go into www.espn.com you can register for free and in the Fantasy section you can go to the Mock Draft Lobby and enter a live snake draft - it's a dummy draft so doesn't count for anything. You'll see how it works then.

Money sent. Need invite. And have another player if you want to make it 14 teams. Makes for a bit tougher league play.

14 is too many BBB - played in one of those a couple of years ago and it was awful.

Agree Tahoeden - gonna make Joe change it back. Might have worked okay with just a team of 10 but not with 12.

The invite was sent to the email you gave me - let me know if you still don't have it.
