So do y'all want to keep the confidence points?

I vote for keeping confidence points.

**Brando** · 08-26-2008

Cool! 14 spots are filled. 11 more to go!

**kiwitexansfan** · 08-26-2008

I'm in too.

Keep the confidence points, it will be an interesting twist.

YellerLotYeller · 08-26-2008

I'm also in. My name is the same as my FFL team name.....The Wonderlics.

**Brando** · 08-26-2008

The league is looking good! 17 spots are now filled. 8 more to fill!

Thanks to all that have signed up already.

**GlassHalfFull** · 08-26-2008

I'm in, but I am incognito.

**Showtime100** · 08-27-2008

I'd be happy to do it but have never played this at all. Until baseball season is up I'm knee deep in following the Astros (it's a Showtime thing) and will do my best keep up until then, at which time I can concentrate on it a little better. If I sign in I'll be there until they fit me for a box. I always play to the end if I sign.

If that's cool with you guys I'm in, but will have to join this afternoon as I'm walking out the door right now.

Would I be the only rookie?? Does the site explain things from the ground up??

**Tedc** · 08-27-2008

I signed up.

I have never played a fantasy game like this so it will be interesting.

**Texanmike02** · 08-27-2008

If you save one till around 4:30 today I'm in. Can't access it at work.

Cool! It's pretty easy, you pick the teams that you think will win...for the games you are most confident in the winner you give confidence points. If there are 16 games you give 16 points in the game you are most confident that team will win and if you win you are awarded 16 points. The the next game you will put 15 points in until the last game you get to 1 point. You can look at points sort of like money. Once you sign up and look how it is layed out, it might give you a better idea of how to play.

I can add more if I have to, so if you sign in later that would be cool.

18 spots are filled and I aiming for 25 but I can make it up to 50 if there is enough interest.

Excellent, sounds simple enough. I'll get over there today, soon if I can. I wonder if this would be a good way of getting my wife on this board. If you see "Showgirl" or "Weasel" that's her.

KEYE SUX · 08-27-2008

I'm in. Sounds like fun.

**Texanmike02** · 08-29-2008

I'm in. GL guys. I think all of you are qualified to finish second.

Mike

DiehardChris · 08-29-2008

I'm in! I will correct the injustice of my second-place finish last year.

**Brando** · 08-29-2008

We have 23 of 25 spots filled! Tuesday will be the deadline for signing up. I will keep it at 25 spots unless we have a demand for more spots between now and Tuesday. Remember we have a game on Thursday so you will need to get your pick in at least 5 minutes before that game.

Thanks to everyone that has signed up so far.

It's not a fantasy football league, so there will be no draft. You try to pick the winners in all NFL games played during that particular week.

Thanks for signing up and looks like we are filled up at 25! I can add 5 extra spots if I need to but the deadline is Tuesday.
