    Ok we got ourselves 16 people for next year, if you want out say so now before I kill you later.....:breakdance:

    So people know the planned opponents(if you finished top 2 you get top 2, etc.):

    2 - O'Brien		4 - O'Brien		4 - Todd		2 - Todd
    4 - Testaverde		2 - Testaverde		4 - Testaverde		4 - O'Brien
    						
    2011						
    Namath		        Todd		        O'Brien		        Testaverde
    2 - Todd		2 - Namath		4 - Namath		4 - Namath
    4 - O'Brien		4 - O'Brien		4 - Todd		4 - Todd
    4 - Testaverde		4 - Testaverde		2 - Testaverde		2 - O'Brien
    For example I am in the Namath Division and I finished 1st so I would play the Todd Division's Riverside and Evil Monkeys and not Juggernauts and Iscrap.

    It's that simple, I'll wait on the schedule until the '08 site is up.

    Still got 0 suggestions other than the ones I can think of so if there are any please tell me and we'll vote on it.(Keeper date, draft day, trade deadline, etc.)

    Schedule of Events
    End of Season - Trading begins
    Feb. 10-16 Owners Meeting & Vote
    July 1 - Keeper Date
    Early August - Draft
    After Draft - FA begins
    Sept. - 2008 season begins
    Week 10 - Trading ends

    I might make a website for the league just to keep records of past seasons.

    Since I've gotten no suggestions I'll have just a few that I can think of nothing major though.

    A few of mine:
    -Max RB to 4 from 3- Not sure if anyone else had an issue like I did last season where I had multiple RB injuries and only having just 3 made it difficult.

    -6, 7, or 8 playoff teams - Doesn't really matter to me.

    -Removal of playoff system in favor of a BCS system................:lol:
    I got nothing else other than schedule length and to stay at ESPN.

    Well, I don't think we exactly need another spot for RB exclusively, as the WRs were outperforming them this year anyway. A RB/WR spot would be better.

    No I meant increasing the max cap for RB from 3 to 4 not add another position.

    I say no way on more RB on one roster. We have 16 teams, all the starting RBs and many backups are starting already, let alone sitting on people's benches.

    Agreed. With 16 teams you would get insane hoarding. With the cap at 3 you at least have a chance to balance your rosters and maybe get a decent backup in FA. Gotta stick at 3, more strategy that way.

    Ok I guess I won't bother with asking that one. I'll come up with something though.

    I guess the league is perfect....I can really only think of 2 questions.

    # of playoff teams & whether or not to stay with ESPN in '08. That's it unless someone has anything else.

    I doubt this would ever pass but something that could happen would be a creation of a second league which would allow for relegation. Thing would be that the 2nd league would only have 8(or more) teams and only 1 or 2 teams would be relegated a year pending their record. It would be essentially a swap of teams as the best of the 2nd league would take the worst of the 1st league and vice-versa. The 2nd league would also share the same rules but would have 1 catch that I would have to co-own one of the teams as I don't think it's possible to run a league without one. Of course I would have nothing to do with the team and I would just manage the league.
    Last thing is if people quit the 1st league during the season the 2nd league's current leader would get promoted and that person will run both teams until the season is over then the winner of the 2nd league's title will assume the 1st league's team and someone else will take the 2nd league team's spot. Or I might just leave the team alone till the end.

    Requirements for promotion:
    League Champion and/or >=12 wins(including playoffs)

    Requirements for relegation:
    last place or <= 3 wins(regular season only)

    Must be an even # of teams to meet requirements or else it won't happen.

    Just throwing this out.

    Don't like that idea at all. What players will the second league have? Our dregs? Or a whole clean set? What happens when they promote? Do they inherit the relegated team's roster?

    I amn't keen.

    Well they would have a separate league, we have ours and they have theirs. They would inherent the relegated team's spot and the relegated owner would get the promoted owner's team.

    Just to add on this would give someone an opportunity to get a good team and someone a chance to build a loser into a contender. They are doing this in the TGG fantasy baseball league and I thought I might give a shot in football.

    I just thought of another thing to add for '08, punters.....(1 starter + 1 bench position added) probably won't pass but it's nice to have more things to vote on.

    Early look at the vote(please don't give me your votes yet you can email them later when I send it out but you can campaign to others about certain things though):
    1) Date for cutoff for Keepers
    a. June 1st
    b. July 1st
    c. May 1st
    d. June 15th

    2)Date of the draft(Top 2 choices)
    a. Late-July
    b. Before Preseason
    c. After 2 weeks of preseason
    d. After Preseason

    3)Day of the draft(choose as many as you want)
    a. Monday
    b. Tuesday
    c. Wednesday
    d. Thursday
    e. Friday
    f. Saturday
    g. Sunday

    4)Time of the draft(choose as many as you want)
    a. before 6 PM EST
    b. 6-7 EST
    c. 7-8 EST
    d. 8-9 EST
    e. 9-10 EST
    f. after 10 EST

    5) Trade Deadline
    a. week 8
    b. week 9
    c. week 10
    d. week 11
    e. week 12

    6) # of playoff teams
    a. 6(same as last year)
    b. 7
    c. 8

    7) # of games in the season
    a. 12(2 div games + 2 games vs. other 3 div.)
    b. 13(same as last year)
    c. 14(6 div games + 1 entire div. + 1/2 of other 2 div.)(4 team playoff to avoid week 17 final)

    8) Stay with ESPN in '08
    a. Yes
    b. No(give me an free alt. please if you vote this one)

    9) Add Punter Position(# punts, yardage, avg, TB, In20)(1 bench added too)
    a. Yes
    b. No

    This one is just to gage interest and isn't going to be official at this time
    10) Creation of a 2nd league in order to have a system just like the one used in British Soccer(relegation & promotion). The 2nd league would have less teams and would have their own rosters(not our scraps but everyone). The champ of the 2nd league would take over for the worst team of the 1st league and vice-versa. It would give people incentive to play well in both leagues, also if certain teams reach requirements more than 1 team could swap in a given year.
    a. Yes
    b. No
    c. Maybe(Need to see more)
