This is the official thread for SBR Fantasy Football League I
The live draft will be hosted by Yahoo and last 16 rounds.
SBR Fantasy Football League I: Wednesday, August 28th at 8:00 ET
The Rules
This is a 12-team league with SBR adding 2000 points to the pot to bring the league pool to 38,000 Betpoints! Once you receive the Yahoo Invite link via PM, 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 be randomized as soon as the team list for a particular league is finalized and the draft will be the standard snake format. You will have 90 seconds for each draft pick. Also note that each league has unlimited transactions, but the trading deadline is November 9th, 2019.
This is a straight 12-team league with NO DIVISIONS. The top six seeds based on overall standings will make the playoffs with the top two seeds getting first round byes, thus being assured of being in the semifinals and winning points. 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 League Champion gets 18,120 Betpoints, the Championship Game loser gets 6,040 Betpoints and the semifinal losers each get 3.020 Betpoints. Additionally, the high scorers for each week of the regular season will get 600 Betpoints (with ties split evenly).
Here are all the rules, with 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: Also there is both fractional scoring and negative scoring.
Roster:
Current Roster Size: 16
Total Starters: 9

There are no limitations on what positions you draft, just make sure that you make the appropriate moves each week to field a valid starting lineup. Also, waiver claims are processed via a weekly rolling list based on standings. Thus, the last place team gets first crack at free agents, but once it gets one player the team moves to the bottom of the list.

2. Fantasy points scored in last week's matchup.
3 Fantasy points scored in the matchup two weeks prior.
4. 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.
Please note:
Teams must have identical winning percentages to be considered tied in the standings.
A team with an 8-4-1 (.654) record will be seeded ahead of a team with an 8-5 (.615) record. A team with an 8-6 (.571) record WILL be tied with a team with a 6-4-4 (.571) record.
