Cool, thanks Ryan. I appreciate you answering questions.

What were you thinking when you allowed more than one user control the SAME team (ie......2 users with Redskins)

Thanks man. All might not be lost afterall. Is there any type of awards given for individual top performers of your league? Like MVP, rookie of the year, rushing champ, etc....

Just to be clear, Unique Rosters is an option that can be turned on or off. Essentially, Unique Rosters set to OFF allows for multiple versions of the same team. So, you aren't sharing the Redskins, for example, you each are controlling your own version of the Redskins. You'll still set your own depth chart, etc. with your team. There's just a possiblity that someone else is controlling their own version of the Redskins.

We thought it best to allow as much customization as possible. For example, if guys feel like seeing who's really the best with absolute parity on the field, they may want to play in a Unique Rosters OFF league and all control the same team. We just want to provide as much customization as possible.

I apologize in advance if this has been asked already: Does the league have to be 32 teams and do all of those teams have to be user controlled?

Can you have a league of say, 12 people, who just play each other?

We don't offer season awards in Online Leagues. However, with the administration tools and ability to post messages, a League Commisioner could choose to award them and post to the league News if they choose.

I have basically same question can an odd number of say only 3 people (with a 5 game set, I think that means we would play each other 5 times correct ?) will it still generate a playoff scenerio?

No problem.

No, in fact, you can have a league with just 2 users. That's the beauty of the flex scheduling. You could start out with 2 users, and just play each other as many times as you set. But, let's say, you have 4 more buddies that want to play as well. They can join in and the league will automatically adjust and include them in the slate of games you have to play.

To answer your other question directly, yes, it's totally possible to invite 12 people to a league and then choose how many times you want to play each other.
