Yahoo leagues are available for signups now. I’ve just renewed the league, and invited everyone from last year to join. For now, we’re keeping the same rules we had last year, but proposed changes are open to discussion. I have not scheduled the draft yet. We’ll talk about it once we see who is coming back and whether any replacements are needed. Speaking of which, I am holding spots for everyone that played last year. If we get some dropouts, I’ll make those spots available for new players. Please note that Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham will probably have terrible seasons this year, so there is no reason for anyone to draft them…😛 ---

> [@G0sp3l](#): > > Could you put me on a waiting list in case someone drops out? > > danke Sure. This thread can serve as a waiting list, which would make you #1 thereon. 🆒 You should be aware that this is a somewhat atypical league, though. We use two QBs, and a few other non-standard scoring twists. ---

I should have a bit more freetime this year and would like to re-join; pls put me on the waiting list. Txs! ---

We use two QBs, and a few other non-standard scoring twists. 😃 No worries, if I get a spot just post or send me the rules and I’ll adjust. I’ve been involved in several variations. thanks ---

We’ve got seven returning teams signed up already, and I just heard from **Uncle Brother Walker** who is going to return as well. Does anyone remember who the other 2 players from last year are? ---

OK, we’re still at 8 0f 10 returning from last year. Holding spots for Detroit Lurkers and Oilers (IKN) for the moment. Anybody know if either or both of those guys are returning? How long should we wait before seeking replacements? Thoughts on a draft date? ---

I vote for 9 PM central time, but I’m just being selfish. And I’ve already sent emails to a few friends to invite them, but they declined last year and I expect pretty much the same response this year. So I’m pretty much no help. I don’t know the other two managers myself, so that’s strike three from me. ---

I don’t think we’ll have any problem filling the spots. GOsp3l has already standing in line for the first opening, and picking up one more should be easy enough. The real question is how long should I hold the spots for our missing players? ---

Right now I have one draft on the 29th and one on the 3rd. ---

OK, we’re running out of time. I’m going to hold spots for our two missing players until this coming **Friday at noon central time**. If they haven’t joined by then, I’m going to invite **GOsp3l** to fill one of the spots, and post in the recruiting thread to fill the last spot. If anyone knows how to get in touch with \*\*Detroit Lurkers and Oilers (IKN) \*\*, this would be a good time to do it… ---

All right, \*\*GOsp3l \*\* has been invited to fill one of the open spots, and we’ve got one spot left. First player to contact me gets the spot. ---

If you happen to get two requests, you can place one player in the spot I currently have with Hernandez’s Hideaway. We are moving halfway across the country soon - the date is up in the air but it should be during the season - and I don’t know how much attention I will be able to pay to my team. I’ll run it if need be, however. ---

I’d like to play, if the spot is still open. I’ve only played in IRL leagues but I’m on a medical leave so I have time to spare for the draft and the prep that goes with the opening of my football brain. Let me know. ---
