I don't think we have many. I'll look into it to see what we agreed to. KDS was one of them. Defensive scoring was another update. Changing of playoff teams in the auction leagues. Did I miss anything?

i'd suggest making the draft champions have another roster spot or two. it's no fun when your players are hurt or on bye (esp this year with the condensed byes). playing 4th tier players is better than playing no one.

I agree, 25 was better than 24, how about 26 this year ... if nothing else ... it's an even number so the first pick alsoi gets last.

[/QUOTE]I don't disagree at all. It's more fair to have an even number of rounds so that nobody gains an edge. I should have thought of that last year when we added one more round.

Some strategy takes place with what to do with your 25 pick! Do you back up your RB's, your backup for your second QB, a third string backup QB for Brad Johnson, do you pick up an extra TE or do you take a flyer on a 9th WR? I would hate to think we just pick till all of those things are accomplished. Are you sure more than 26 is better? I was a huge advocate for 26 ... but I am thinking any more takes strategy out of the process.

UYT

UYT 2 weeks this year with 6 teams on bye weeks. couple that with injuries and good luck not taking any zeros.

wit that said, 26 is better than 25, and is a good place to be in 2006
