I'm bringing back this long-running league for yet another season of exciting and hilarious action. Want a league where the top scoring players are the likes of Derek Carr, Blake Bortles, and the Raiders defense? This is the league for you. It's a ten team ESPN league and I'm giving all the owners from last year an opportunity to return, but there may be openings for new owners so post here if you're interested. I've tentatively set the draft for 9 pm Eastern on Tuesday, September 8. That could potentially be adjusted, but I would like to have it close to the start of the season so that bad teams' starting QBs will be known.

I am 4th Down Syndrome and I'm definitely in again though I admit I am bad at this. I definitely cannot make a draft on September 8th unfortunately, but I can pre-rank a good amount of players if I have to.

In as the Ron Turner All Stars again. September 8th would be tough for me to make, but I can always set a list if that is the day that works for everyone else.

If there's an opening, i'd love to get back in this. I played several years in a row and always lost in the final game. I remember riding Rex Grossman all the way to the final one year, it was fantastic.

How exactly does this work?

As last years' winner, I'm still not sure how the hell it works; I just pick people who I think will particularly suck due to dropped passes/fumbles/getting stopped behind the line of scrimmage every week and hope for the best. I'm back in; I was NFL Drug Policy last year.

I've got another draft that night but if the draft is another night I could probably come in last place again (Geno 911)

All right, we have a full league! I've created a poll to find the time for the draft when the most people can make it. You should all have an email with a link. A couple of notes for newbies, quoting myself from last year:quote:If you're unable to make the draft, remember to set your autopicks (or else you'll get a team that would be amazing in normal fantasy but terrible in backwards), also don't worry too much, because the draft is less important than in normal fantasy. A bigger part of doing well is keeping on top of your roster through the season as the best sucky players change, especially as guys are benched or injured.

Any reason we can't do the draft on labor day? If anything, i'd think more people would be available on that day.

I was in last year but I'm afraid I'll be giving up my spot for someone else. This is a cool concept, but there were still times where you'd be rostering "good" players because there's not really a good way to do bizarro scoring for RBs. That coupled with the fact that, even if it was strictly about picking the worst players, I have a hard enough time keeping up with the good ones to be able to adequately research the bad ones too! Sorry, have fun goons!

Based on the people who responded to the poll, the original draft time (9 pm Eastern tomorrow) is still the best. Here's hoping for a good turnout, and if you can't make it remember to set your auto picks.

Are auto picks going to go off of ADP or other "normal" rankings rather than our special scoring?

Good draft, everyone! If you auto-drafted remember to switch out your roster in time for the week 1 games or you will probably have a hilarious negative score.
