A WORD FROM THE COMMISH
---------------------------------

Welcome to the 2009 season of Tilted Fantasy Football! I'm going to do everything I can to make sure this is the best season yet. I have a few notes about the upcoming season.

-There are only 3 spots left! If you are debating whether or not you want to participate this year, please decide soon. I expanded the league to 16 teams this year, but there will always be willing members who are left out.

-Make sure you take some time to look over the league settings. This league does not use the standard Yahoo scoring settings. It IS a PPR league (points-per-reception) but receptions are still only lightly weighted. Understanding the way this league's scoring is geared will help you make decisions during the draft.

-If you are new to fantasy football, there is a plethora of information out there. ESPN has some user friendly guides to bring you up to speed. Along with Yahoo, they also provide mock drafts so you can acquaint yourself to the draft process and get a feel for where players are being drafted at.

-Please post team logos or pictures at your team page. Multicolored helmets are boring and add little to the league. Let's try to spice up our league and inject a little creativity into it.

-Week 11 will be rivalry week. It's the first week when all players have completed their byes and a pivotal game just before the playoffs begin. If you want to call out a team and start some rivalries, now is the time to do it. Otherwise, I will assign rivals.

-If someone wants to take the initiative to post the results from past seasons of Tilted fantasy football, the information is out there. I don't know where the best site would be to host the history of the league along with the results, standings, and users. I would help out with it if someone wants to get the ball rolling on that.

-Finally, MAKE SURE YOU SHOW UP FOR THE DRAFT. Inevitably, teams that miss the draft either have a decreased interest in the rest of the season and stop adjusting their rosters, or they are stuck with a crappy team courtesy of autopick. If you know will not be able to make the draft, at least move players who are retired, injured for the season, or unsigned to the bottom of your pre-rankings.

**The draft is currently set for Sat Aug 22 6:30pm PDT/9:30 EST**

Looking forward to a great season in 2009, and hoping everyone has FUN!

P.S. Unfortunately, it will be a waste as team Benjamin3000 will reign supreme...
