    That time of year guys to get the ball rolling. Might as well start by last years GMs posting up the list of teams in their respective leagues last year and highlight the Promotions and Relegations.

    From the Charter to remind guys:
    1. Each League will have it's own specific thread that will be started by a Moderator at the start of July each year.

    2. As well as this there will be a 'Sign Up' thread opened at the same time each year so that those who didn't participate the previous season have a chance to play in the coming season. All new players MUST register their interest no later than July 31st each year in order to be considered for a position in a league this year.

    3. Each Gameweek will also have it's own thread that will be used for all divisions. This will be for general queries such as: “Who should I start this week; Garcon @ Oakland or Rice @ Cleveland?

    4. Any players who go inactive for more than 3 weeks during the season will be disqualified from entering for the next season. (Within reason, if someone goes on holiday for three weeks that's fine as long as they mention it before they do.)

    5. All League General Managers will have to be re-elected by those in their league for the next year.

    6. ALL Boards League drafts MUST be held between the end of the final pre-season game and the Thursday night season opener.

    7. ALL Boards Leagues MUST play by the same set of League settings to avoid any confusion. League settings will be attached in a seperate post as well as in the opening post of each individual league thread.

    8. If a team is abandoned mid-season then the GM of the league will take control of that team. They will select the team each week purely going by NFL.com's 'Projected Points'. That team will not be allowed to take part in any trades, pick anyone up off waivers or drop players.

    9. Promotion and relegation will take place via a '4 up 4 down' system. The 4 teams that make the semi's of the playoffs in a League will be promoted to the league above the next season. If there is inactive players in whichever division (say 2 for example) then they are removed from the league and only 2 are relegated to lower division, The four promoted then will keep that division at 16. As for the division below as only 2 are coming down and four going up there leaves a shortfall of two. This can be fixed by only relegating 2 from that division and along with the four promoted teams will keep that division at 16. This goes on all the way to the bottom division.

    10. Anyone who sets out to deliberately mess up a league by signing up and dropping all their players after drafting or offering very obviously one sided trades to make another team too strong will be banned from both the Fantasy Football Forum and the American Football forum as a whole permanently.

    Just had a quick scan over the threads for Div 2, 4 & 5 and possibilities for GMs are Malachyscott (Div 2), Johnmcdnl (Div 4) and Johnny Fontane (Div 5). If they are not the GMs they will definitely be able to point out who was GM

    Well seeing as I followed up my stellar Premier League title win with relegation the following season, I don't mind being GM for Division 1 if no one else wants to (put me down as a reserve GM, if anyone else wants to volunteer go ahead).

    In the league tab there is an option for history and there you'll find the rankings

    Its basically top 4 go up and bottom 4 go down. It gets complicated when some players dont come back. In that case if we lose a player we just relegate one less player from that division

    Division 4 has not been reactivated - and there was the issue of the final week/playoff mixup to iron out also.

    Great to have Fantasy to look forward to again - 98 days to the NFL kickoff?

    Is it too early/correct thread to propose we have a TE/WR flex this year?

    Lads I asked Frostie to move this thread out here temporarily to make sure guys notice it. Frostie agreed and it will stay here for a short while just make sure you keep an eye on the Fantasy section for when this thread gets moved back.

    The aim of this thread is to sort out the logistics of the leagues again and get them organised in good time for the new season.

    At the moment I am still GM. If anyone wants to step up and give it a go let me and I will pass it on to you. If we get no takers I am quite happy to do it again.

    This tread will most likely be used to guage interest to fill spots or add new spots or divisions if needs be. Handy to keep it all in one thread at the start.

    WilcoOut was G.M. of Division 4 last year.

    Don't know if he still posts around here, haven't seen him around in a while.

    I'll throw my name into the hat if a G.M. is needed for any division.

    AFAIK you can send the GM a request to activate the league through NFL.com (he'll get an email reminder from NFL.com). If you or someone from Divs 4 and 5 can do that maybe we can get the final rankings for both divisions

    Yup once we sort out the New Gms and then the promotions and relegations we will then fill spots from players who got kicked or left and if enough interest we will add Div 6. The more the merrier.
