Well folks, we're creeping toward that time of year again. Now, I realize we are in the midst of a lockout at the moment, and we aren't positive there is even going to BE a football season this year, but I'd rather be prepared for it either way. This thread, for the time being, will be used to determine interest in participation, organizing leagues, and during the season will be used for discussion. Last year we had 3 leagues that ran, but we had an issue in some of them with inactive people. I'd like to avoid that issue this season, but still allow everyone who wants to play a chance to participate. For the time being I will designate space for two leagues of 12, and possibly expand to three if there is overwhelming interest. Also, it needs to be determined whether League A will continue to be the usuals, or whether they're willing to mix it up this year. Personally, my opinion is that things should be mixed up and no league should be seen as inferior to the other. We should discuss this now so we can have the proper setup in place when it comes time for the drafts. Firstly, I'd like to set a couple of ground rules:
1) You must have at least 25 posts on Smogon. This is not difficult to achieve, trust me.
2) No gimmicks. Being a beginner is acceptable. Asking for advice occasionally and in private is acceptable. Being completely dependent on everyone else without doing your own research is not. Most major Fantasy hosting websites have written tutorials on how to play, and I suggest you check them out if you've never done this before.
3) Lists always need at least 3 options.
Also, it hardly needs to be mentioned as a ground rule, but please be active and remain active. Don't sign up for this and just leave your team to do whatever. As previously mentioned this was an issue last year, and as a result we have had to ban a couple users from participating in future seasons because of it. If you pull a stunt like this, you WILL be barred from participating in the future.

Alright. Now that I have all that out of the way, I'll start the lists. For now, as I said, I'll have two leagues open, titled League A and League B. Until we discuss and vote on how it should be handled, League A will remain exclusive to certain members. If you are interested in playing fantasy football, indicate so in this thread and I will add you to League B for starters. Please do not say you are interested if you are a 'maybe', only if you are definitely going to play. Once we hash out the League A question, I can move people around. Spots for the leagues are a first come, first serve basis.
