Tallying the votes so far...here are the members who have yet to vote. I'll send out a second reminder PM to these guys:

There have been 20 votes so far, and here is the running tally of those votes:
1. What league do you want to use? Yahoo, nfl.com, ESPN, or CBS Sportsline?
16 votes for ESPN, 3 votes for Yahoo, and 1 vote for nfl.com. For those who aren't math majors, that means we're running with ESPN. Those four who haven't voted don't need to place a vote here if you don't want to...it's already been decided.
2. The current idea is to create two separate leagues (for the purposes of not thinning out the talent pool) that will use the same scoring system, and then disregard the league-generated schedules to create our own schedule to allow inter-league play, and crown an ultimate champion. Are you ok with this, or would you rather see just two separate leagues using the league-generated schedules?
15 are ok with this idea, 5 are not. For those who aren't math majors, that means we're running with the inter-league idea. I think we'll go with Krebs' suggestion of having the normal schedules count, with an additional game thrown in each week. Those four who haven't voted don't need to place a vote here if you don't want to...it's already been decided.
3. In my opinion, playoffs are cheap in FF...they happen at the end of the season when most teams are resting star players, thus screwing most teams. So, pick an option below:
A) 14-week regular season, followed by a three-week playoff (weeks 15-17).
B) 16-week regular season. The final week will be reserved for a head-to-head matchup in the event of a tie.
C) 17-week regular season. A tiebreaker will be determined by the team with the most total points scored over the course of the regular season.
10 votes for B, 9 votes for A, and 1 vote for C. By far, our most contested area. Every vote counts in this area. B-More, since you essentially threw away your vote by voting for C, I'll allow you to recast your vote for either A or B if you want to...since it's so close, we need everyone's input. In the event of a tie in this area, we will go with the votes from the league managers (cb and myself), which will be option B.
