This thread is specifically for signup to, and discussion about, the GWJFFL, the official Fantasy Football League(s) of Gamers with Jobs. For general fantasy football, please visit the catch-all thread.
[color=#CC0000]Be sure to read the “New for 2012” section below this post[/color]
Registration is on a first come, first serve basis, with priority given to returning owners. Teams who sign up after all positions are filled will be added to a waiting list to be contacted should a slot become available. The waiting list carries over from year to year so signing up as an alternate for this season reserves your position until you forfeit it.
The GWJFFL follows, as closely as possible, the rules of the (now defunct) World Championship of Online Fantasy Football. As much as the hosting website allows, we will conform to the official GWJFFL rules.
Significant highlights include:
Roster Requirements: Maximum of 20 players. (25 players for GWJFFLD.)Lineups Requirements:
Starting lineups will consist of
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 Flex player (a RB or WR, or TE)
1 PK
1 Team Defense/Special teamPoint Calculations: Team scoring will be carried out to the hundredth (e.g. a team may score 94.75 points).
Free Agent Acquisitions/Blind Bidding: The free agent system will be a “blind bidding” process. Each team will start with $100 free agent “dollars” for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis. No team will be informed of any other team’s free agent bids until after the winning bids have been awarded. A team owner will no longer be able to bid on free agents once their season long waiver wire cap of $100 has been reached.
Promotion and Relegation: In order to provide additional incentive for competitive play, the GWJFFL uses a promotion and relegation system. If and only if positions for promotion do not come available through natural attrition, the rules for relegation from the upper divisions will be implemented.
For detailed scoring information and additional information regarding the free agent acquisition process (including examples) and relegation, refer to the rules document.
Returning veterans (only last year counts) that post by 23:59 CDT next Wednesday, 08/08, will be guaranteed a spot. (Important Note: If you got left on the waiting list last year, you will be treated as a veteran for the purpose of re-claiming your spot on the waiting list, but you still need to check in.) Beginning 08/09, all sign-ups are first come, first serve. Expansion teams (i.e. new owners) should still post ASAP because you'll be added to the waiting list in the order you post to fill what slots remain once the veterans have had their head-start.
Registration will close at 23:59 CDT on Saturday, 08/18.
Again:
* 07/29 to 08/08 - Preferred registration: returning owners reclaim their spot; new owners get onto the waiting list
* 08/09 to 08/18 - Open registration

Wow thanks for making it so easy for me to post Grumpicus.
This looks like it’s going to be a great year in the GWJFFL. I’d like to reclaim my spot in
GWJFFL - Gold - if I still have a spot as I was the third team out in the playoffs(but one of them was your team as you know).
though I’m really interested in stepping up to
GWJFFL - Platinum
I’d also like to keep my spot in
GWJFFLK
and be considered for
GWJFFLD
Thanks!
Reclaiming my spot in Gold and I'm interested in Platinum.
I am interested in Dynasty as well and have been in a GWJ league every year since they started.
Thanks Grump!
Was in GWJFFL3 last year but I believe I won so am happy to take my place in GWJFFL2.

GWJFFL - Platinum

GWJFFLK
Reclaiming my spot in Silver (or gold if ratboy doesn't show up), I'm interested in Platinum.
I'll be back, just for FFL3, er, Bronze.
(Unless of course there's some great exodus upwards and I get to move up to Silver. )
No money stuff for me. I like to keep my FF as a fun-only endeavor. Less stress when the (un)lucky scheduling hits you and you get the 2nd highest score in a week but are playing the guy with the highest, and so on.
As the winner of last year's Bronze I'm ready to move up to Silver.

How many leagues do you actually plan on playing in this year, Grumps?

Don't remind me. Division runner up, only gets into the playoffs as a tiebreaker, team who I beat by 42 and 17 in the regular season, and who miraculously knocked me out of the semis by 21 with your 2nd highest score (by 1 point) of the entire season.
Go away jerk ;), I don't want to play you anymore. :p

Yeah, that was quite the run at the end of the year. I owe it all to Arian Foster.
Returning for GWJFFL - Bronze.
Interested in GWJFFLD.

So two people in here are saying they won FFL3 last year (justinbot and ukick)?

Maybe I got 2nd? I honestly don't remember. I just remember that I get promoted.
Edit: yup, after looking back at the league I won regular season but finished 2nd in playoffs. meh.

I'm not actually sure where I ended up (3rd in bronze maybe) but I'd like to be in the premium league. If there's no room, I'll take a slot where I can get it. Preferably somewhere where I can kill Zacny.
This looks like it’s going to be a great year in the GWJFFL. I’d like to reclaim my spot in
GWJFFL - Gold
but I'm willing to pay the fees if there's a spot available in
GWJFFL - Platinum

I'm just a sad coffee grinder, but I promise I'll be good and I don't bite. If I read everything correctly sounds like I'm on the waiting list to be put onto Bronze, so hopefully there are a reasonable amount of promotions/non-returners to get invited.
I haven't participated in the past, mainly due to tardiness in signing up but I would like to be considered for:
GWJ Platinum
GWJ (Gold, Silver, or Bronze)
GWJFFLK
GWJFFD
Basically, I'm signing up for all in hopes to participate in the maximum 3 limit.
I've been playing FF for about 8 years and 2 years ago won a Razzball FF League championship. No worries on the participation front.
Gold
Keeper
Platinum only in the unlikely event that 12 others aren't interested.
Since I am new to all this I would like to join.
GWJFFL - Bronze or Silver
I will try the money league next year when I understand the rules better.
This looks like it's going to be a great year in the GWJFFL. I'd like to reclaim my spot in
GWJFFL - Silver
though I’m really interested in stepping up to
GWJFFL - Gold, but have no interest in Platinum this year

Amended to include Platinum info.

I am not interested in
GWJFFL - Platinum
or
GWJFFL - Gold
I'd like to reclaim my spot for
GWJFFL - Silver
though I’m really interested in stepping up to
GWJFFL - Platinum (Show me the money!)
Edit: Oh and I think it's going to be a great year.
This looks like it’s going to be a great year in the GWJFFL! Probably more fun that the 5-6 years I've been playing on ESPNFFL; which consisted of half the teams being abandoned by week 6.
Please consider me for:
GWJFFL - Bronze
GWJFFL - Platinum
This looks like it’s going to be a great year in the GWJFFL.
