5 Spots Remaining. Get those PMs in quickly.
Side Note: Does anyone have any cool ideas for this league? Maybe something that includes our cars? I don't know, just trying to be the best GM possible. I already made up some really good awards that will be listed beside your name. Some of them are weekly awards, some regular season, and some tournament. If you win any of the permanent awards and play again next year, they carry over. Pretty cool stuff.

Just let me know what you have questions about, and if you want to join, send me a PM that contains your email address and we can go from there.
3 Spots Remaining.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: After all 16 spots are filled, and by filled I mean invited, there will be a 2 day window to join. Joining entails checking your email, and going through the steps to create your team on www.espn.com in the league. If you have any questions about this, let me know.
I will post on here the second this window begins, so it doesn't matter if I invited you 10 days ago or you were the last person invited, you have 2 days. If you do not join in that 2 day period, I will void your invite, and open the spot up for someone else. No questions asked. Sorry if this seems harsh, but if you can't join in 2 days, I doubt your going to update your roster, as well as the fact that the draft can't start if the league isn't filled. Therefore, I'm not going to skirt with that deadline.
Remember, feel free to ask questions. I'm not Hitler, I'm the Commish.

2 Slots Remaining.
If you just said, "Send me information" or "I want in!" you're not guaranteed a spot. As I've said, the first 15 email addresses that I get will be the 15 people joining me in the league, barring any other violations of the rules I've set forth.
Also, I'll send out an email on this as well, but I wanted to see what the league members thought about this. So let me know.
There will be 16 teams. Would you rather have a 12 team playoff, with the top 4 teams getting first round byes (reward for these teams), or a 8 teams playoff with no byes? The tricky thing here is player resting near the end of the season by top teams. The 12 teams bracket will, like a traditional league, be decided on Week 17, when some players may be sidelined because their team has already locked up a playoff spot, homefield advantage, etc. The 8 team bracket would end on Week 16, which doesn't eliminate this possibility, but makes it much less probable.
Traditionally, player resting is just part of fantasy football, and Fantasy Coaches just have to deal with it, however, I thought I would put this up to the league. Democratic style.
My vote is for the 12 Team Playoff. So, that's:
12 Team: 1
8 Team: 0
Also, if you look at your team page on espn.com, you will see a draft order number as soon as you join. This is randomly selected by the site, so I have no control over it. I can't guarantee that this will be your final draft slot, but there is a 95% chance that it will be.
If you look under draft settings, it says that the order is "Manually Set By League Manager." This is not true. I set it randomly and then changed it so that I have access to change it as a penalty (hopefully not, but you never know). I personally promise that I did not arrange any of the picks for certain people, including myself. Actually, the pick number is predetermined before you even enter the league, so essentially I know what pick you will get in the draft before you even join the league, because I see it when I enter your information.
Also, draft picks can be traded.
This last bit is probably news that no one would have even noticed, but I want to be completely open and honest about this entire thing. I'm running this league as fairly as I possibly can, because that makes things much more entertaining and fun.

You haven't even joined yet...you don't get to pick your team number...they just go in the order that I receive email addresses. Sorry, haha. And let's not go telling everyone what the remaining draft spots are...because that wouldn't really be fair to those that have already joined not knowing.
