And On The 7th Day, The Commish Rested. (CCFL). *ONE OPENING 03/21/2012*
 

EDIT: LEAGUE IS FULL. HEAD TO FORUM TO GET ON WAIT LIST, OR JUST CHECK OUT THE SITE.

I'm wanting to start up a new league, using some of the things I've learned that make a league fun and competitive, and with the 6.3 engine from day 1, so that long-term records will be meaningful and reachable. I'm willing to do six early-morning (Eastern) sims per week.

BASIC OVERVIEW OF LEAGUE

• Player Pool: Fictional
• Teams: NFL Default (unless we get someone who can and is willing to do custom graphics for 32 teams in the formats I need for the web site)
• Cities Equalized
• Cohesion/Chemistry On
• Web Site: CCFL Owner/Team List
• Forum: under construction at http://www.younglifenorthdekalb.com/ccfl/forum/
  
• League Name: Cap Crunch Football League (CCFL)
• Government: Benevolent Dictatorship
• Injury Setting: 75, since we'll be simming quickly
• Sims Per Week: 6
• Cap Increase Range: 0 to 99.
• 25% Cap Reduction via lost cap room, WOOF style
• House Rules: I'm open to input here, but I want to keep them to a minimum. I'm thinking the following are necessary:
  • FA1:2-12: all deals to UFAs must be a minimum of 3 years. During all other stages, any length is fine.
  • No franchise tag.
  • No restrictions on renegs (the cap reduction and lack of a tag takes care of that one)
• When will it start? When we have 32 owners who have committed to a team and sent an actual export in.

STARTUP

I'll sim through one season, blow through FA1 and the draft of the secone one, void all contracts, have no draftees, and we'll do FA2 with the entire player pool, requiring 3-year deals at a minimum for FA2:1-5 just that first season. That first FA2 will be run one stage at a time since it'll be extremely critical for building our teams.

secret society ftmfw

hmm... Ben took my Falcons so...

Random name drawing out of a cup gives me the Giants.

I'll join with the big boys - New England.

I'll take KC

Pittsburgh

Oh what the heck, its a fast(ish) sim anyway.

Put me down for the Cowboys.

Good idea for a league, Ben. I'll take Buffalo Bills.

I'll take the Minnesota Vikings.

Is there a file yet?

No. I'll create it once we get close to 32. I'm intend to set up a db, run DBUpdater, get everyone Change Tracking data, etc. I don't want to do all that if this thing never gets off the ground. ;)

I'll take the Bucs. (That schedule is too awesome to pass up.)

I'll take the Packers

Miami

i'll take the raiders. If i understand it correctly we will do a normal draft after the first season. I live for the draft so if that's correct i am in and can live with the first season not having a draft, just a bidding frenzy.

I'd like the Jets.

Chargers please

Ah hell

Never ask a Navy man if he's had too much to drink.

Carolina Please.

To answer a question earlier, yes, it's just the one-time free-for-all. The reason for doing that as opposed to an initial 53-man draft is that in an initial draft in a fictional league, contracts are too generally too steep, and you have no control over how much is in the initial contract. I suspect that in a reduced cap environment, it would make things very problematic for the first several seasons. Doing it this way, we get to have complete control over the initial contracts.

I'm in...
 

Put me down for the Denver Broncos. What the hell...

Ben i will take the Lions(my first home Mp team amazing enough)

Cincinnati

49ers please.

Hello Ben. Put me down for the Seattle Seahawks...fresh blood to FOF and FOFcentral.

thanks PhinsFan

Awesome. If Ben is running it, it's going to be smooth. This is just like WOOF only minus the off-days and injury setting.

24 people. I'm generating the league now. There's a bit of work before I can release the file (CT2 for everyone, DBUpdater, voiding a buttload of contracts). My hope would be to have the league file, and uploader, and a forum ready by the beginning of next week. We may need a midweek or two after the first TC as well. I'm thinking of a schedule like...

Friday (9/17): 2010 FA2:1
Saturday (9/18): FA2:2
Sunday (9/19): OFF
Monday (9/20): FA2:3
Tuesday (9/21): FA2:4
Wednesday (9/22): FA2:5
Thursday (9/23): TC
Friday (9/24): Premidweek
Saturday (9/25): Preseason 1-5
Sunday (9/26): Preseason 1-5 (if 2nd midweek necessary)

I'll take Arizona

I'll take the Rams if they're still open

Houston please :)

And name suggestion - WOJU (WOOF junior)

Honestly don't know how you do it, 5 leagues + this one. Legend

Done.

I need to update my sig. I'm really only in three leagues (FOFL-IHOF-WOOF) other than this. If this takes off like I hope it will, I doubt I'll join (or quit) any others.

Done. One to go.

C'est moi?

Like the FOWL...I'll take the Jags.

I'm hoping that 49ers is me.
