On Line Championship ?

I'd bet it's won by a stacked June drafted team.

There will wind up being horrid teams drafted in June, leaving stacked teams who gambled and won.

Everything that happens in pre-season hammers away at the June drafted teams.

The AUG teams will all be ADP clones...less bad teams.

The first waiver wire period will have tons of draftable players in the June drafts, where the AUG drafts waiver wire will be bare.

Uneven playing field IMO.

~Lance I think it could be a slight edge in June, worth a shot anyway, but there are pos and neg points ... still, surprising they haven't filled the one lge for this weekend given the opportunity (there were 2 last weekend) ...

You just cannot run a high stakes league without a random league draw. The NFFC will probably have their own online championship next year. Maybe we'll all learn something from those mistakes, and Greg and Tom will have a step up on the competition in 2009, by guaranteeing all online leagues be random...There's got to be a way to do it.

[/QUOTE]Personally, I'd like to run an online championship over a two-week period in late August where you have drafts at all hours of the day. I was actually worried about the uneven playing field for someone drafting 10 days before others, but felt that would be the best way to do it. I certainly understand why WCOFF is doing it the way they are, but I agree that it's tough to have June drafts being compared to late August drafts.

June is a tough month for fantasy football. In fact, it's one of the deadest months of the off-season. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for training camps to open NOW! ;)
