You say this like you're the only person in here that plays in other big money leagues with actual friends you see regularly. At the end of the day, you're just another nerd in front of a computer in the eyes of a NFL player. You're also probably managing your time poorly if you're editing your Coachella fantasy football forum posts at 3:32 AM on a Tuesday night when you should be spending more time on bleacherreport or rotowire.

So if those other guys do not respond and you put in all the new interest people you could do a 14 team league which makes it a lot different and uglier at the end of the draft, but it is quite a challenge. Also I would be interested in the auction I have only done baseball ones but I would try it out.
I participate in a 14 team league. Free agency can get really cut throat in the second half of the season but it can be challenging in a good way. Trades are also more important but occur less often. I wouldn't mind a 14 team league if that would include everybody but 12 team leagues seem the most balanced. Thing can get pretty unbalanced quickly in bigger leagues.
You can put me under new interest, thanks
I've played everything between 8-14 person leagues, and I'd rather avoid 14 at all costs. Depending on the new interest/returning players and if the number of people play out a certain way I'd prefer 2 smaller leagues over one big one. In my humble opinion.

Well I would do anything but 8 team leagues, I find those teams to ridiculously stacked.... so if you can get 20 to agree i think it would be cool to do two ten team leagues and the two winners from those league settle who is the champ of the overall coachella league by overall points on the season..... Or just keep them separate ha
Thanks for rattling my cage, Bobert - I just got back from vacation (and boy are my arms tired!! ... wait) and am willing to set this up and run the show again. Seems like it's been forever since we did this. For those owners who are signing up again for the new season, I've sent you invites this morning. Details of draft date/time and other important discussion points to be hashed out soon.
Although I do feel the need to clear the air on something immediately:
Embarassingly enough, when I was unpacking some stuff from my recent move right before leaving for vacation, I stumbled across that trophy and therefore realized I had never sent it due to never getting Wes' address. I'm sending him a note to remedy this post-haste.
Edited to add: I'd also be in for the separate Auction league if we have one.
Okay, email invites sent to confirmed owners on the list below from last year.

I say the Redskins are gonna win this year.
We have a total of seven owners (including myself) who have signed up through the invite that was emailed out yesterday.
Still looking for the following guy who confirmed in this thread to complete the sign up process on our league site:
ThomThom - Confirmed for 2012
If you need another invite emailed to you, let me know via PM.
I've sent Messages out to the three owners who haven't committed one way or the other. I figure they should have until the end of the week to chime in. If one or more of them (or someone who expressed interest initially and has second thoughts) back out, then we'll go in order of the waiting list.
UPDATE - Faxy Shazam has decided to not play this year, so Brematale111 is now on the clock! PM sent.
Hmmm. Tempting! Let me look at their schedule and I'll get back to you.
I would 100% be interested in an auction league, if you run one, Wes. I luuuurv auction leagues.

Once the league is filled up, I will send out emails with instructions on how to pay the $30 buy in.
I am OK if you guys want to make it where first place gets $330 and second gets their money back.... I saw where that was brought up here. If the majority are OK with that, we'll go ahead and set it up this way.
I reduced the waiver and trade voting process to be each 1 day... I thought that was fair.
Any other suggestions/topics for league discussion?
How about first gets 230, second 100, third gets 30?
The idea of increasing the buy-in was that first place gets their coachella ticket basically paid for, which is how we arrived at increasing it to $30. Winner should take all or basically all and I guess 2nd place could get their money back. But ideally winner = free coachella.

One day voting process is better than two. I personally think that having the commissioner approve all trades is the way to go - only putting it to a vote if something seems fishy. Since the responsibility would fall on you I certainly understand if you have a different opinion.
For example, say I wish to trade Ray Rice for Lasean McCoy - one top five pick for another. In my opinion, no other member of the league should have a say in whether or not that trade happens. Not wanting one your rivals to improve their team is not a valid reason for voting down a trade, yet that is the #1 reason why most people choose to do so. If we keep a voting policy for all trades it would be nice if everyone kept that in mind. It's not the league's job to ensure that every trade is fair and balanced, it's simply to ensure that there is no collusion between owners and that nobody is cheating.

I think i'll pass then, if that's the case
edit: i deleted my team, so that'll give someone on the wait list a try. i'm already on a couple leagues, so thanks for offer, though.
