I'll play and set it up if you want...I'd like to do at least a $10 buy in, so people stay interested and dont abandon their teams.

I know what you mean about coaches losing interest, but my job prohibits FF where money changes hands. Love to play for fun, even though I always lose.

It's a little more than that with JimB52. I'm sure he'll explain.

I had my first draft today and did well. We need to start this up this year on Yahoo again.

I'd be up for FF and fine with a buy in of $10 or so or just play for fun.

An Auction would be cool. With like a budget of $200 (not real dollars, unless everyone is cool with real dollars).

Way more strategic than a regular draft.

Sounds like the money is going to be a sticking point, lets just have 10 people to commit to sticking with it all season. If they don't, we'll badger them back into it.

Maybe he doesn't know the lockout ended.

It's not like 10 bucks is the mortgage payment, but I understand. Typically, in a league where even a small bounty is on the line, people care.

Almost all of the ones where there wasn't 40% dropped off each time.

If we can get a TRUE commitment, I'll go with it for TB, since I know where to find someone and call them out!

It's not the amount of money I have a problem with. I just prefer not to mix finances with games like this. No biggie, and I got nothing against you guys who want to do it that way.

Looks like a proud TB tradition may be coming to an end.
