      If we're happy with the scoring system from last year, I'll use that. To me, it doesn't really make too much difference, because LT will still outscore Kevan Barlow five to one regardless of the system used.

      QB
      RB
      RB
      RB/WR
      WR
      WR
      TE
      K
      DEF

      Were the positions we had last year. Eighteen gives nine starters and nine bench. 17 could also be reasonable, on the theory that nobody needs a backup kicker.

      2 QB, 10 RB/WR, 2 TE, 2 DEF, 1 K would be a typical 17-player roster. With 18, people would likely add another RB/WR.

        Go with 18 players because of the snaking draft system. This way, we go back and forth an equal number of times.

          Ah, point taken. Eighteen it is.

          We could add another WR spot to the starting lineup, which would balance out the RB shortage a little, but those guys tend to put up paltry numbers anyway.

          List of people in so far (of course, there will likely be a second league, so these people aren't necessarily in mine)

          Jaguar
          Slowwhand
          Tuberski
          Koyaanisqatsi
          duke o' york
          Kalius
          Zopperoni
          Jonny
          gjramsey
          Imran Siddiqui
          Guynemer
          Snoopy369

          We'll at least fill this league up to twelve before starting a draft.

                Well, we usually worry about drafts going too slow. This is way early, though. We have time to bicker over all of the little details of the rules.

                  Well, I'll be away for 2 weeks, so as long as you don't start it then .

                  And the fact the World Cup is going on soon (June 9th until mid July), probably means I'll have a bit less time to bicker, as I'm going to try to figure out how to get the games on internet radio at work .

                    OK. We should see whether Steve McNair goes to Baltimore, and figure out whether the Broncos will trade Lelie and whether the Bears will trade Thomas Jones.

                    What's your away time, Imran?

                          Actually got two. June 4-16 and August 7-18, though in August, I'll have more access to Poly (once a day, in the evening, though).

                            We'll start the draft in maybe 2-3 weeks, then. No need to rush.

                                2-3 weeks?

                                I'm away from 26th-30th June, and the first pick isn't usually the one you want to BAPAY, but I can live with that. Maybe once the date has been decided, then I can start to put together a list for the first pick(s) - that would seem more sensible.
