INTRO:
Hello Everyone! and welcome to the Official XBA Fantasy Football Thread. Every Year we run a fantasy football league for our XBA community. The league gives us a chance to talk, laugh, and compete against one another outside of Xbox.
Setup and Rules:
The league is set up on Yahoo! Fantasy Sports Servers (we've used it for years, and will continue to use it. It usually consists of anywhere between 14-20 XBAers and fluctuates based on interest. Starting in '13 There will be an overflow league for XBA members who are interested in playing, but are unable to secure a position in the prize league. Every Year the players from the previous year will be invited back regardless of finish (see rule 3). If a member is unable to play again, their spot in the league is vacated and is available to another XBA member. Starting in '13; the best performing managers (not already in the prize league) in the overflow league shall have first dibs on vacant spots in the prize league. The draft time will be set, and cannot be moved to benefit another player, as it's difficult to schedule an event around 14-20 people's schedules. Life sucks (we know). League prizes come out of my pocket, so they'll be doled out whenever I get around to it. Please try and make it well known which team you manage. xMike for example runs a team called ncaa dream team, and his username is adrien brody, how the hell are we supposed to determine who he is???
1. Every manager MUST be an XBA member.
2. There will be no trading wins. You play to win, end of story.
3. If you abandon your team before the end of the season, you will not be invited back next season.
4. No bullshit trading, I.E. Bioshock Infinite and Carson Palmer for Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Rodgers
5. I reserve the right to institute more rules as I see fit.
