uno juega contra los q estan en tu propia liga. el q haga mas puntos gana, despues de ganar un partido digamos q fue el primero de la temporada,su record pasaria a estar 1-0, y asi se va hasta q clasifiquen a los playoff(generalmente clasifican 4 pero dependeria de cuantos se metan)

Y los puntos se dan ,, digamos tenes a Culppeper en tu equipo, y el en el partido contra pittsburgh hace 3 TD's te darian como 6 puntos por td y digamos q hace 300 yds te dan un punto por cada 50 yd .. asi q en esa semana haria como 24 pts.

ahhhh y los jugadores se escogen en un Draft en vivo

Gracias... se ve bien bacano.... espero no quedar ultimo. Me acabo de inscribir

There are still empty spots in the league, but 10 is already a good number.

Bueno, well..lol, basically the Fantasy League is a game where you make points accordingly to how your players play in the real NFL. You will draft your own players.

We'll run a live draft, so you can make your team. You'll be able to pick any skill offensive players from the NFL, including this year's rookies, kickers and defenses. In a 12 players league, the 1st guy to pick in the first round will be the 12th guy to pick in the second round...the 2nd guy to pick in the first round will be the 11th guy to pick in the second round...and it will go like that the whole draft.

In our league the starter team is 1 QB, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DEFENSE (you'll pick the whole defense, like Pitt,Miami,49rs,etc..)
And you have 6 spots on the BENCH. You can fill it the way you want.
Very important: when you're drafting, you must check the players' bye week because in that bye week that player won't score anything of course, so you better have a backup for him. The Fantasy league games will happen during the NFL schedule. That's why most Fantasy Ranks include the bye weeks in the players stats:
i.e. http://fantasy.sportingnews.com/nfl/.../rb/index.html

If you're not able to be online on draft day, the system will draft for you according Yahoo's rank or according to YOUR RANK, if you create one over there.

You can use fantasy sites to set your rankings, but the best thing you can do is create your own big board. Create one board for each position and don't forget to include the bye week for each player.
Our draft is next thursday I guess, so you have the weekend to do it if you enjoy us.

How to score? In our league, the score board is:
Passing Yards (50 yards per point)
Passing Touchdowns (6)
Interceptions (-2)
Rushing Yards (20 yards per point)
Rushing Touchdowns (6)
Reception Yards (20 yards per point)
Reception Touchdowns (6)
Return Touchdowns (6)
2-Point Conversions (2)
Fumbles Lost (-2)
Offensive Fumble Return TD (6)
Field Goals 0-19 Yards (3)
Field Goals 20-29 Yards (3)
Field Goals 30-39 Yards (3)
Field Goals 40-49 Yards (4)
Field Goals 50+ Yards (5)
Point After Attempt Made (1)
Sack (1)
Interception (2)
Fumble Recovery (2)
Defensive Touchdown (6)
Safety (2)
Block Kick (2)
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

So in a real game where Peyton Manning throws 350 yds Passing + 2 TD's + 20 yds Rushing and 1 INT, his points would be: 7 + 12 + 1 - 2 = 18.
We'll have Head to Head matchups, like week 1 Totore X Braz, and whoever's team makes the most points wins the game. So the winner will have now the record 1-0. Similar to the NFL standings.

It's important to be active the whole league for 2 reasons:
1) Your team succeed. You have to set the starters for each week, waive some player if he gets severely injured, sign players available if you need to, this kind of stuff. It involves a lot of thinking because you have to check all the NFL. i.e. you have Manning and Culpepper as your QB's, but the Colts will play against Pittsburgh and Miami against the Texans, so here you should of course set Culpepper as your starter because Pitt has a much tougher defense than the Texans.

2) The league as a whole succeed. If you abandon your team, let's say in the end of the season because you don't have playoff chances, the players who play against you will be benefited because your team, as a abandoned team, will totally suck. And the players directly affected by that will probably get pissed.

It's my first time as a Fantasy player too, but from what I'm seeing this should be very fun. You'll give much more importance to the other NFL games, despite the phins games, cause you'll be rooting for Baltimore score lots of defensive TD's, or to Terrel Owens shut his mouth and score lots of points for you...
