Welcome Fantasy Football Gurus,

Glad to see you have decided to join Balls of Steel 1999. Do you think you have what it takes to knock off the 2 time defending champions MADMEN (aka, the Grinch that stole Christmas...sorry Mike)??? Well GOOD LUCK! You are going to need it. I hope this year is just as fun as last year. Maybe this year the Monte Carlos (or whatever they will be called this year) will not stall out this year in the Super Bowl. I must admit, I did have all the luck on my side and I hope to be just as lucky this year.

Enough about last year, I don't like to brag...too much. This year is the year we start our KEEPER LEAGUE. Also changing are a few rules, new to the table is our 2 FORMATIONS. This should quit the whiners that complain..."WAAAA, my runningback is hurt and no one is left."...The 2 NEW formations are the NORMAL SET (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 K, 1 D/ST) and the SHOTGUN SET (1 QB, 1 RB, 4 WR, 1 K, 1 D/ST). Another rule change is NO INJURY RESERVES! Also new, is that the ADD/DROP will only be done 3 times this year. The dates/places will determined by draft day.

That brings me to my next thing. DRAFT DAY. It will be: 12:00, Sunday, August 28 at _____. Hopefully you already have the info you need. Make sure you bring your MONEY! Yes the starting fee is a little more ($80). Sorry about that but it a pain for me to track down everyone for transaction money. So $50 will be the fee. $20 towards transaction fees. Lastly, I'm charging a one-time $10 Franchise Fee. I'm hoping this will pay for the software and mailing expenses for a few years. Also future new teams will have to pay the $10 franchise fee which will go into the expense account. In a few years if the expense account is dry I may add on a few dollars towards any future software updates I may need for the league.

I'll try to provide more info this year for you and perhaps more new features on our web site. This web site is to provide info to you and for you to use to your advantage. If you have any suggestions/questions/concerns on any thing to do with our league, feel free to let me know. Constructive critism is the best kind, even though I'll probably call you a few choice words while responding. Anyways, GOOD LUCK this season, I hope everyone enjoys it!
