This thread is specifically for signup to, and discussion about, the GWJFFL, the official fantasy football league of Gamers with Jobs. For general fantasy football, please visit the catch-all thread.
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.
While the structure and rules of the GWJFFL are based on the (now defunct) World Championship of Online Fantasy Football, the GWJFFL is a dynamic league and subject to evolution. Please review the official GWJFFL rules to ensure you are familiar with them.
Significant highlights include:
Roster Requirements:
Maximum of 19 active players. (23 players for GWJFFLD.)
1-3 IR slots, depending on format.Lineups Requirements:
Starting lineups will consist of
1 QB
1 RB
3 WR
1 TE
2 Flex players (a RB, 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.
----------
For illustrative purposes, the current GWJFFL structure is as follows:
Redraft format | Keeper format | Dynasty format |
---|---|---|
Pro (optional premium league) | Keeper | Dynasty |
Division I | Keeper waiting list | Dynasty waiting list |
Division II | ||
Division III | ||
Redraft waiting list |
----------
Returning veterans (only last year counts) that post by 23:59 CDT next Saturday, August 8, 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 August 9, 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 Sunday, 08/16.
Again:
* 08/01 to 08/08 - Priority registration: returning owners reclaim their spot; new owners get onto the waiting list
* 08/09 to 08/16 - Open registration

I'm in for whatever flogging I deserve in Division III or whatever I was in last time.
I'd like to return to both Dynasty ... I was champion in D-1 last season and will take a promotion to Pro if it's available, as well.
This looks like it's going to be a great year in the GWJFFL. I'd like to reclaim my spot in
GWJFFL Pro
as well as
GWJFFL Keeper
as well as
GWJFFL Dynasty
I'd like on the wait list (or better).
I'm in for D-II
Back for more anger and disappointment in Pro.

Also, isn't this the 10 year anniversary of the GWJFFL? I think I won the first year and I think that was 05.
I'm back for all of my teams this year in Keeper, Dynasty, Division II. If needed, I'd like to move up to Div I.
In for Dynasty and Division II.
Back for Keeper and Dynasty.
Back for D1.
Have to improve on last year. Ugly 1-4 start, then 4 game winning streak to get back into the playoffs, then lost 3 of the last 4 to fall out.
Checking in for Division II
My rookie season was not that impressive. Looking forward to building on it and going forward and blah,blah,...coach-speak...having a great year in the GWJFFL.
Also, I wish to reclaim my spot on the Keeper waiting list.
It's time to get my groom back.
Back for Division II.
This looks like it's going to be a great year in the GWJFFL. I'd like to reclaim my spot in
Division 1
Since I came in second in DII last year and if promotions are being offered for top finishers in lower leagues.

Who else is going to make funny quips during the draft? You? Please, you couldn't make a...... person...... laugh if you tried.
I'm in for D1 and Dynasty
I will take my spot back in Pro and I will also take a spot in D-III, if one is available.
