I have decided to start my own FOF League - the General Manager Football League!

I've been playing in a couple leagues for some time now and wanted to run my own. I've enlisted help from current and former league commissioners and do not take this lightly.

I'm looking for committed owners. Please take the time to review some of the league info and make sure this is the right league for you.

General League info

4 Sims a week during regular season
M, W, Th @ 10pm MDT and Sundays at 10am.
More sims will be run during the offseason and preseason.
No scheduled midweeks.

Injury setting: 125
Cap setting: $3-5 Mill a year

Teams and players
NFL teams and cities starting with 2007 current game players
Startup will consist of a full league draft of all 53 rounds not to extend beyond May 4th. Any remaining rounds at that time will be scout picked for all teams.

League Draft Dates
A football addicts dream! NFL draft and FOF draft in the same weekend!

Registration was opened up to the PFL and FFL this morning and is now being released for everyone.

I would prefer people who will be available to take an active role in the league draft.

Items to be aware of:

You must be able to "play well with others."

I would love to take San Fran if still available. Other than that I would take any team from the list. Sign me UP.

What does 3-5 million increase in cap translate as in the settings? Does this mean you are making an effort to keep the cap from getting out of hand? If so, sign me up.
