Title: FusionCash 2016 Fantasy Football

Unsure of what Fantasy Football is?
Fantasy football is an interactive, virtual competition in which people manage professional football players versus one another and that allows people to act as general managers of a pseudo-football team. The players that an individual is able to manage are professional American Football players in the National Football League. The different actions people are able to make are drafting, trading, adding/dropping players, and changing rosters.

You draft a team of players across all the teams of the NFL. You go head to head against another team. Your players earn points for positive things such as every 10 yards or a touchdown and lose them for things like fumbles or losing yards. If your team gets more points than the team you are up against, you win that week.*

We are head-to-head league.
In head-to-head leagues, a team matches up versus a different team each week. The team who receives the most points of the two receives a win for that particular week. Points are dictated by the scoring system that is either standard set by the website or custom set by the commissioner. A team’s total is the sum of all players points in the starting lineup. The win-loss record is the most important statistic in head-to-head leagues, as it directly correlates with the league champion. Teams with the best win-loss record advance to the playoffs. If two teams have the same record, the tie-breaker is then decided by total points scored by each team throughout the season.*

It appears Yahoo! has reset the live draft timer to be in 2 hours instead of in 7 minutes. No idea why, but I am unable to choose an earlier start time.

I just now found this thread at 9:00 on the day AFTER the drafts.  I suppose it is now too late to join?  Oh, well. I'll just have to plan  early for NEXT year!

Yeah, I had no idea this was going on until the last minute. As far as I know, we haven't had one of these since 2012! But I enjoy them whenever Kohler does them. ;D

Well I just set a reminder in my phone to periodically check this forum NEXT year in mid-late August just in case its brought back again.  I just had my online draft in a CBSSports FF league last night and did a live draft at BW3's a week ago Sunday.  Pick #7 in BOTH leagues.  I hope that's lucky for me!

I'm surprised that my team is currently at the top considering I missed participating in the draft and forgot to bench players on bye weeks a couple times

This season has been my first-time experience to play in the FusionCash league.  The draft was held one day on a Sunday at the beginning of September.  I really had to think fast as I had never drafted players before; I didn't do too badly considering the draft was half over by the time I jumped in.  In fact, I've had a blast playing in this league!  It brought me back in touch with my hometown pro team that has had an extraordinary season after QB Romo's injury early on (the exact same thing happened to Tony the year before at about the same time with an estimated 10-weeks to recover ... which is freaky).

I suggest keeping a watchful eye for posts about Fantasy Football 2017 in late August.

Does anyone know how many participants there were in the league(s) this past year?  Based on the beginning of the thread I guess there was a 10 team limit (which is fairly standard), but that additional leagues would be opened if more than 10 signed up to play.  I missed the thread until after it was too late, but am curious to know how many players there were in 2016.

There were only 8. I think a lot of people that would've been interested noticed the post too late. It was much easier for me to come in second place with less people at least

Aww, I wish I had seen this about 4 months ago. I'd have joined.

Let's get a baseball one together and I'm in. :)
