I apologize if this has already been addressed or answered. I have been super busy with things and am just now getting immersed in fantasy football related things.

Are the magazine leagues being played out like in the past?

Assuming yes, when will rosters be loaded?

Assuming yes, what are we playing for?

Thanks to anyone who can provide the answers.

We appreciate the fact so many people helped us with valuable content for our magazines. Unfortunately, we cannot play out all of the drafts as live leagues this year. However, we will play out the Classic/Primetime and Auction leagues from the first issue if everyone wants to take part. We will provide a $250 credit for the 2011 NFFC for the winner.

If folks are on board we'll get these leagues set up. Let me know.

$250? Wasn't it advertised as $500?

[/QUOTE]I like helping out and all, but to have another 2 leagues to manage to hope it all breaks right for $250....I'm cool with not playing it out.

If everyone else wants to play, I'll play (or give my teams to someone else to manage).

I seem to recall $500 credit being mentioned too.

I wouldn't mind seeing them played out for the $500, but moreso if they're done as DCs. Having to actively manage another team for so small a prize hardly seems worth the effort, given that most of us will be doing several other pay leagues of more importance.

This sounds fine to me. I'll play them out for a shot at $250 or would be just as happy leaving them alone. No big deal either way on my end.

I'm glad we can transfer the data over quickly and get these leagues set up. I wasn't even sure a week ago if we'd play these out. The content for the magazines was much needed and hopefully we didn't mis-state anything, but guys let's play this out and have some fun. If the $250 and bragging rights isn't worth it, then the bad is on us. But hopefully playing this out and competing against each other for 16 weeks is worth it whether it's $250, $2500 or $25. Let's play these out and have fun.

If this is too much effort for everyone and the prize isn't worth the effort, all let me know. We won't load these leagues, but we thought everyone wanted to play them out. But let us know and we'll act accordingly. Thanks.
