this is the same as the big 48 team league we have run the last three seasons. Please look at some of the other threads pertaining to those leagues before posting new questions!

Is it Free?

---- No. It is $20 and can be paid preferrably through paypal or mailing a check. pm for details. The reason for the $20 is twofold, one it gives you a reason to play all the way through the season and two, it gives you a reason to play all the way through the end of the season. Nothing worse than having the guy you are neck and neck with in a playoff race go against a guy that hasn't adjusted his roster since September. Please make the commitment to play through the season! The league also costs $159 per year!

How do I sign up?

--- make a comment in the "up and running" thread that you want a team and then pm myself with your email address so that I can send team invite. In that team invite will be instructions to send payment, please get it in promptly.

How can you have 48 teams?

--- this is a "mega-league" that is essentially four leagues (we call them "conferences") of 12 teams each. Each Conference will have their own draft from the entire pool of NFL players so when we get into playoffs there is the possibility that teams will face each other with one or more of the same players on their roster. Surprisingly this has not happened that often and when it does throws a pretty neat strategical twist into that particular matchup. There are three divisions per conference of four teams each. Each division will play each other twice (6 games) and then play 6 more random conference games for a 12 game regular season. Then each division winner plus ONE wildcard from each conference moves on to the playoffs in weeks 13-16.

When is the draft?

--- this is our fourth year and we have found it best to have drafts as close to the start of the season as possible. Each conference will have their own stickified thread for trash talking and draft management and to vote on the day/timing of the draft. After that is set we often will move a team from one conference to another in order to ensure that everyone has a chance to prepare for a live draft. In case you do not have that opportunity however this site does a very good job of not only allowing you to rank players but allowing you to rank the order of which position you want drafted in what order. In other words....no excuses!!

When will we know the schedule?

--- The schedule, like many other aspects of the next few weeks will depend on how quickly we can get all the teams assigned and paid for. Every year we have guys sign up but never bother to pay so the waiting list guys are very valuable. If we go to the wire on payments (August 12th deadline) the schedule will be available by August 14th.

What kind of scoring do you have?

--- That is all available to view on the site. We are discussing some minor tweaks but nothing will be altered after August 12th, which is also the deadline for payment.

Who is the commissioner?

--- Right now it is just myself, but I'd really like to have one or two others assist. I just discovered I can not access the league page from work!

I signed up but haven't gotten a team invite?

--- if you are a returning player pm me right away. If you are a new player I may have your spot reserved, just not the specific team yet. If you are on the list in the "Up & Running" thread you will have a team by Sunday afternoon.

Why are you bugging us about payment so much?

--- because so much of what needs to be done depends on getting everyone paid up. I can't generate the schedule or plan drafts until all teams are assigned and paid for. If you want to mail me a check and post date it, I don't care, just get that payment in. Remember, anyone not paid up by August 12th will be taken off their franchise.

more questions/answers as they come up.

      My point exactly. Does that mean they have a poor offense? Of course not. That is why cherry picking stats without context rarely results in an accurate and fair assessment.

      Could go 9 - 8

      Lotta football to go, and a lot of things can change.  Team health makes a huge difference down the road.  The big thing is and will be getting a rhythm.  2015 and 2013 are great examples.  That said, while we have a schedule, we dont really know who we're gonna play past a few weeks from now and by that I mean, like, end of october we're scheduled to play The Buffalo Bills...but between now and then, what if theres an injury to Josh Allen or just suffer a rash of injuries to any position group really.  Lots can change honestly and after 3 weeks, we're healthier than we were last year after week 3 with our only serious injuries to Hunt and Corbett (who...sorry the guy got injured, but Mays continues to outplay him).  the other injuries are short term return situations with JT Sanders, XL, and Coker.

      I get a lot more than you. Scheme dictates average yards per play for example. If you run a lot like Philly your average yards per play will go down versus a team that passes all the time. And if you only play 3 games  then one outlier like Jacksonville holds more weight than it should. Plus yards per play doesn't correlate to wins for example versus effectiveness in the red zone. So yeah I get it and know that stats like yards per game much like yards per play have little correlation with wins and loses and the final score is the only thing that matters at the end of the day not some BS cherry picked stat.
