There’s a lot of leagues on the board, and a lot of specialized discussion. I thought it’d be helpful to have a general catch-all thread, as well as a place for any recruiting that needs to take place.

Also, we need one more owner for this year’s [He Hate Me League](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=765240), taking over for HungryHungryHaruspex. It’s a decent team with a few good keeper options. Message me for the invite. Draft is 9/8 at 8:30pm EDT.

Ditto the [Auction League](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=765458). Currently at 7, I’d very much like to see it get to at least 10 players. Newbies welcome.

Potentially interested in the HHM league. What’s the buy-in?

There’s no buy-in - we just want active semi-experienced players.

I’ve been in a league or two a year since 08. Usually 12 team, but 20 is intriguing.

He Hate Me isn’t the 20 team, it’s the 14 team keeper.

Oh, okay. What’s the team roster now, and who ate eligible as keepers?

Here’s the SDMB thread on the league. You’d be HungryHungryHaruspex, and the potential keepers available are listed. Eligible keepers are taken 2 rounds before when they were drafted last year (i.e. drafted in the 9th last year, kept this year in the 7th).

I created [a thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18680095) to discuss the weekly fantasy sports tournaments on sites like draftkings/fanduel/yahoo. Check it out if you’re interested or play those sorts of things.

I accidentally clicked the “Join a league and draft now” button that yahoo has on the launch page for fantasy football, immediately closed it… and now I have some autodrafted yahoo public team. Really? You can accidentally click that and have a team you can’t get rid of, cluttering your shit? Grr.
