If no one minds I'm gonna go ahead and add Jukkie and Suprak, giving us 14, which I think is manageable.

This topic will be used as long as I remember to bump it
First sport to discuss, BASEBALL
1) Most important is what kind of league do we want. Yahoo gives us 5 options, my crappy explanations after them
a)Head-to-Head - Every week you face off with one team, in most likely 10 categories, each category you win gets you a win. So every week you would end up with a record of 7-3, 2-8 and such. Would end with playoffs
b)Rotisserie - Cumulative throughout the entire season, you are ranked against the rest of the league at each of the categories, 14 for 1st in home runs, 13 for 2nd in batting average, etc. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins, no playoffs
c)Points Only - In this league, you get points for stats (4 for a home run, 2 for a stolen base, 1 for a RBI) Accumulate points throughout the season, whoever has the most wins, no playoffs
d)Head-to-Head - Points - Combo of a and c, face off against 1 team every week, whoever gets more points gets the win. Ends with playoffs
e)Head-to-Head - One Win - Just like a, but instead of getting a win for each category, you just get 1 win for winning the most categories in that matchup. Ends with playoffs
here's yahoo's explanation of several things if you need more

2)Once we decide which format we want, we'll figure out the specific categories, but the other important thing we should decide now is if we want a standard draft, or if we want to do an auction draft.
Here's the explanation of how an auction draft works

Once we make some headway on these two questions, we'll move on to roster size and other stuff
3)Also give opinions on doing UFC pick 'em, and if you have a specific scaling scoring system in mind
