I did a search and saw one was put together a few years ago. Figured I'd see how much interest there would be in putting together a Sand Trap league. Would more than likely be on Yahoo. Would use traditional scoring and rules.

I'm in.. i was the winner from the league back in 2011.. it was all for fun tho, so didn't 'win' anything.

i would suggest we put up some sort of ante, b/c what happened was people stopped caring and never updated their weekly rosters etc.. it became kinda silly

I think there is a way to use PayPal through the Yahoo Fantasy League to create a pot. And I agree, bragging rights usually isn't enough to keep those who start poorly to continue playing throughout the season.

Took a year off from Fantasy Football last season and kind of missed it. So count me in.

I just set up the league on Yahoo. Need email addresses of those interested in playing so I can send invites.

Still not sure how we can do an entry fee or pot prize. Yahoo has "Pro" leagues with entry fees but they are public and don't allow invites to friends.

Standard Yahoo rules. League size will be 10-14 hopefully. Buy-in is still in discussion. Looking into methods to use PayPal for buy-ins or some other way.

All my leagues have pretty customized rules and scoring. I'll have to check and see what "Standard Yahoo" rules/scoring are. Either way, I'm in if there's no more than 14 teams.

I believe Yahoo uses the same as ESPN and many others.

25 yds passing = 1 pt

Pass TD = 4 pts

10 yds rushing = 1 pt

10 yds rec = 1 pt

Rush and Rec TD = 6 pts

1 QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF, 6 Bench spots

I'd also be willing to vote on adding a Flex spot for W/R/T instead of the 3rd WR

Yeah, I agree with the flex. All my leagues (with the exception of one) use the same starting lineups. Some have different bench sizes.

I'm also a fan of 6 points for passing TD, but not a huge issue.

What about waiver rules? 1 day rolling? Or is 2 standard?

2 days on waivers.

I like 4 pts on passing TDs because I think when you bump it up to 6 pts, it puts too much power in the QB position. You don't have WRs or RBs regularly scoring 3-5 TDs a game like you do QBs.

I'm alright with both of those. I prefer 1 day for waivers, but that's just because it makes it easier to pick up last minute players.

And as far as passing TD's, I think QB's should be the most important position in fantasy football. They're the most important in real football, and you only start 1 instead of 2 or 3 WRs. But like I said, either is fine with me.

Trust me. QBs still are incredibly important. I've played with these rules for 3-4 years now and I've often considered grabbing a top QB in 1st or 2nd round because of how big a difference they make in a team. As I'm sure you've experienced, there are games where guys like Brady or P. Manning will have you cursing the other team hahaha.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
