SBR Fantasy Football League II will be hosted by Yahoo with the live draft being held Friday night, August 29th at 8:30 ET and will last 15 rounds. This will be a 12-team league with a buy-in of 500 Betpoints, and SBR is adding 1500 points to this pot also, bringing the total pool to 7500 Betpoints! The first 10 SBR members to send me 500 points via the “Give Points” button below will receive the Yahoo Invite link via PM. Note that DJ Dalamar is assured of one spot here as he was the unlucky 13th Man in the first league. Please remember to make your SBR handle obvious when you name your team at Yahoo so that we know who everybody is. The drafting order will randomized as soon as the team list is finalized and the draft will be the standard snake format. You will have 90 seconds for each draft pick. Also note that this league has unlimited transactions, but the trading deadline is November 14th, 2014.
There will be two six-team divisions and the regular season will last 13 weeks. There will be six playoff teams, but only the Final 4 will get season points. The top two seeds will get first round byes and thus be assured of being in the Final 4. The other four playoff teams will be seeded 3 through 6, and while division winners are assured of making the playoffs, all seeding will be based on overall records regardless of division. In Week 14, the 3-seed will face the 6-seed and the 4-seed will face the 5-seed. In Week 15, the 1-seed will face the lowest remaining seed and the 2-seed will face the other Week 14 winner. The SBR Super Bowl will be in Week 16 and NFL Week 17 will be ignored.
The Champion gets 3750 Betpoints, the Championship loser gets 1250 Betpoints and the two semifinal losers each get 625 Betpoints. Additionally, beginning with Week 9 and ending with the final week of the regular season in Week 13, the high scorers for each week will get 250 points (with ties split evenly).
Here are all the rules, with a some highlights being that only 4 points are awarded for touchdown passes, this is a PPR league that gives 1 point per reception and kick return touchdown points are awarded to BOTH the defense/special team and the player:

1. Division winning percentage.
2. Total fantasy points (season total).
3. Fantasy points scored in last week's matchup.
4. Fantasy points scored in the matchup two weeks prior.
5. The comparison continues until the tie is broken or no more weeks remain to compare. At that time, a coin flip will settle the tie.

If three or more teams tie for a division lead, once the division winner is determined, all other teams involved in the tie are then seeded using the wild-card tiebreaking criteria.
Division winning percentage is determined in the same way as overall winning percentage, except it only includes games against division opponents.
