Cigarsmokers Fantasy Football 2014 sign-up and rules

The payout structure needs to be determined. There is a message on the league board.

So, uh... I figured out how to add and remove players and I saw how it changes my "projected points" for the week against [insert name of loser here]. However, I have not yet figured out what changes need to be made in order to bring my points up enough to remove my underdog status. Which really doesn't matter because I'll win either way.

So whilst wandering around the amazingly complex Yahoo FFL interwebs I've decided that I'll just be instituting my regular random clicking coaching style unless someone wants to enlighten me on what the heck these are:

Fan Pts -- These don't seem to have any correlation to "Proj Pts". I believe Proj Pts are more important and I think Fan Pts must just be a random number meant to confuse me. If so, the system is working quite well.

% Start -- I am not sure if this is A) the percentage of time this player starts a game, B) the percentage of FFL players who start this player on their team, or C) the amount of effort the player puts into the start of the game

% Owned -- I think higher is better here, but then again when someone "owns" you it is generally a bad thing... so am I to assume a player with 0% owner status means they are free to be awesome, have no debt, and have not once ever succumbed to a prank?

Rankings (Proj and Actual) -- Just for clarification here, and knowing that football scoring is done differently than golf... A player with a Ranking of, say, 9 is going to be better than one with a ranking of 2,264... right? And if a player has a Proj Ranking of 9 but an Actual ranking of 4,523 he is likely having a bad season due to, oh I don't know... a domestic violence issue or something, right? And then on the flip side if someone has a Proj ranking of 9,000 and an Actual of 2 he's the golden pony I should be putting the saddle on (metaphorically speaking of course), right?

TE -- This is tight end I assume. I don't seem to have any good TE's. Is there not a way I can convince my backup QB to fill in and let my TE hand out gatorade?

DEF -- OK, so I won't tell you how long it took me to figure out that "Kansas City" was not a human being occupying the DEF position on the field. Apparently, this is a team within a team and somehow it gives me points. Not sure how I can have an entire team on my team, nor do I understand how I can have a player on my team who is also on a team that is also on my team but well, you know... whateves. I saw the movie, umm... uh shoot I forget the name of it now, it was the one with that actor that has dreams within dreams within dreams, etc. etc.

And finally, in closing, I will be winning again this week and securing the #1 spot in the league.


You're welcome.
