    Just throwing this out there to see if there would be any interest.

    I'd like to play in a league with non-standard scoring and just a few little differences to make it a bit more interesting and less about plugging in players based on rankings etc.

    What I'd do is the following:

    12 teams
    Auction draft
    0.5 ppr
    6 points per passing TD
    Free agent auction bidding

    Any takers?

    I'd give preference to AF regular posters and Madden players as it would encourage a bit of banter among players who post regularly anyway.

    Post below if you are interested...

    Point per reception, in this format a receiver would get an additional half point every time he catches the ball. So a 10 yard reception gets him 1 point for the 10 yards and 0.5 points for the reception.

    Puts a bit of a premium on guys that make a lot of catches but don't make a lot of yards.

    The more popular format would be PPR, which is a full point per reception, in those leagues the guy above would have gotten 2 points.

    What I'd do is the following:

    12 teams
    Auction draft - Rather than a draft, everyone gets $200(imaginary) to spend on their team. As players are nominated you bid how much you are willing to pay for him. Highest bid gets him, they are a whole lot of fun.
    0.5 ppr - As explained below, a receiver/TE/RB gets an additional 0.5 points for every catch. Increases the value of pass catching running backs and other receivers who make a lot of catches.
    6 points per passing TD - Self explanatory really but increases the value of QB's.
    Free agent auction bidding - Similar to the auction draft we will use a bidding process for picking up FA's. You bid on the free agent and whoever bids the most gets him, you obviously won't know what everyone else has bid.

    Any takers?

    I'd give preference to AF regular posters and Madden players as it would encourage a bit of banter among players who post regularly anyway.

    Post below if you are interested...

    Just wanted to add a bit of a description to each of the above if people aren't sure what is involved.

    OK, we have 12 names, if anyone else comes along who is a regular of the American Football forum or the Madden forum I will accommodate them, otherwise we have our 12.

    Can I remind everyone at this point to re-read the fantasy football charter.

    If for any reason you think you will not be able to give this league the time it needs and deserves please drop out now, anybody who signs up and is subsequently inactive will not be eligible for any boards fantasy football leagues next season

    If you receive a trade offer in this league please respond if only to say, "Sorry I'm not interested", it shows very bad form to just ignore trade requests.

    Could people post below if they have a preference for ESPN.com or NFL.com to host the league. I'm not bothered either way but will go with the majority.

    Can everyone send me their email address in a PM and I will send out invites.

    Finally, please fill out the following poll to indicate your availability for the auction.

    4-1 in favor of ESPN so far.

    2 more votes for ESPN and we will go with that.

    Could everyone fill out the doodle poll as soon as possible so we can get a draft date confirmed.

    I've included next week in it though of course that may not be possible if everyone doesn't get to vote by then,
