PING: MP League Commishes/Members
 
I'm putting together a new listing of leagues, and I'd like to provide a quick overview of each league for people looking around. Here's what I need:


LEAGUE NAME/ABBREVIATION:

URL:

COMMISH:

ROSTER SET:
(fictional? historical draft files? started with a particular NFL season?)

GAMES SIMMED PER CALENDAR WEEK:


CALENDAR DAYS PER FULL SEASON: (Just look at your current league calendar and post the date of Staff Hiring I, and the date of the Championship Game.)

"PRESEASON" LENGTH: Specifically, how long is it from Training Camp to the first day of the regular season in your current season?

INJURY SETTING:

RENEGOTIATION RULES:
(Some leagues have gone to last-year-of-contract only for renegotiations. Note any reneg rules here.)

FA OFFER RULES: (If your league has any rules restricting FA offers, give a one or two sentence summary.)

MONTH/YEAR LEAGUE STARTED:


The goal is to complete this spreadhseet:

Give or take a month or two, I'm sure that's right. FOF2K4 was released in mid-November of 2003. I would imagine that some leagues may have gotten going in December '03, but I'm guessing that most didn't start playing games until January '04. (And I'd also assume that some of the original leagues didn't survive.)

Well, if we're counting the day the league came together (rather than started playing games), IHOF would have to be first. I sent those invitations via PM out a few minutes after FOF2K4 was announced, and according to my old emails, the league filled up at some time on October 20th. :wagfingers::wagfingers::wagfingers:


It really doesn't matter, though. I'd say that the main reason for putting dates is so that people can know whether the league was converted, or is FOF2K7-only.

Ben E Lou 07-24-2008 07:10 AM

Dola:

I'm going to list CFL, FOFL, IHOF, and USFL with start dates of "FOF2K4 release," since it's pretty clear that all four came together in some form or fashion before the game was released. Similarly, I'll mark the leagues that started Nov. 2006-Jan. 2007 as "FOF2K7 release."

Wow. I posted on behalf of a multiplayer league to provide information specifically requested by SkyDog for a project he's doing to benefit FOF players. Never expected to get a petty insult in response.

Rather than clutter up this thread, if you have anything to say to me, feel free to send me a PM. Thanks.
