Alright it seems everyone has logged in.
The draft can take place on the 31st.
I have received a few email asking a few questions. If you have questions just post them here in this thread. It might be a question that some one else has as well.
To answer the ones that I have received so far...
How to add your team logo:
If you click into the tab that says "My Team", you will see another tab that says "Edit Settings". If you go into that tab, you will see a list of settings that you can adjust. One of them is "Team Logo". Under that setting you can choose an NFL Team Logo or you can Upload a Custom Logo. If you want to upload your own from your computer, just select that setting.
Free Agency:
I will explain Free Agency later, after the draft. There are no players in Free Agency because the Draft has not happened yet. Basically however all "undrafted players" will be in the Free Agency list. If you wish to pick up a player from Free Agency, you have to drop a player off of your roster. That is free agency in a nutshell, but I will explain it more, such as the waivers, after the draft.
Bye Weeks:
Once your players are drafted, you need to look at each players bye week, which is the week that their team does not play. Very important, because if they are still in your lineup, you will not get any points. That is why you will have players in reserve on your bench. You can substitute them in for bye weeks or injuries or if a starter is not doing well.
Once your team is drafted, all you have to do is look at your roster. It will tell you when each player has a bye week.
Injuries:
You need to look at your roster and see who is injured. The League site tries to keep this updated as much as possible, to let you know if a player is probably to play, questionable to play, or is not going to play.
All of this may seem like it takes a lot of time. It really does not. All you have to do is log into your team, a few times a week for a few minutes (at least once a week right before game time, but it is better if you check a few times a week and not just before game time). This way you can make roster changes, if needed. It only takes a few minutes. If you check out the forum every few days, you can also check out your roster.
Here is how the game is structured:
2 Divisions with 5 teams each. Each team plays each other "Head to Head". For instance in Week One, I play the Northeastern Wildcats. At the end of our "season" the top 6 teams will go to the playoffs.
Here is how scoring is done.
Your team will receive:
Offense

1 point per 25 yards
Passing Touchdowns:
4 points
Interceptions Thrown:
-2 points
Rushing Yards:
1 point per 10 yards

You will find that the scoring is pretty weird. A typical score is something like 100 to 95 for example.

I think you can still change it in your settings.
