looking at the league list so far, we have 49 teams, and growing. Lets go ahead and break that up, and start assigning some leagues.
For starters we are going to need a few commissioners. I have not yet sent out an email to the regular guys, asking them, but I don't see it being an issue. Perhaps I shouldn't assume.
I can run a league, I imagine Chris, Ray and Claus will too. That's four. As a matter of fact, Chris and Claus, you guys could probably go ahead and fire up a league right now, and invite a few guys in. I'll send you an email with the names, l address's I have now.
I am leery of assigning the USA leagues just yet, as I expect to get more guys registered. Currently we have enough for two leagues, and i could see that doubling. There is nothing worse than trying to track down a guy, to get him to swicth leagues, simply because he lives in Montana. But i don't see why we can't get the Europe up and working at this time.
We still need to get a little feedback on the game settings. If we can't settle it, i say we just go with the standard Yahoo for this year.
Claus, I know you set up a league to play with everything, and i did, but couldn't really decide what's best, what the proper balance is. I'd prefer to leave that up to you football experts quite honestly. I am very agreeable here.
Here are the leagues as I have them now

I just realized London Knights aren't playing. Paul you want to run the UK league?
No, I haven't signed up yet - mainly because I know nothing about American Football! Although a lack of knowledge didn't harm my basketball attempts...
I guess I'll give it a go...but I would prefer not to commish in this instance - with two baseball leagues to worry about, along with finding my feet in the H2HSB!
I am happy to look after the UK league if Chris wants to focus on his domination of fantasy sports.
If you send me the e-mail addresses I will see about getting the league set up
cool.
I will send you an email list of the teams i have signed up.
feel free to spread the word, so we can get that league filled up. I'd say 14 teams is max, and then anybody else we can stick into the international league. I doubt we get two brit leagues in our first season, but hey, you never know
good. glad to hear you will at least play.
when i was searching for avatars to use here, that one you have running, was my favorite :) And i wil be back for my basketball title. count on it.
Well, I'm halfway there! If I somehow win the UK league in the H2HSB, then that only leaves the proper football league to complete the trophy cabinet!
That ain't happenin'. If it's one I thing I'm better than anyone here, it's fantasy REAL football.
Damn, I totally missed this one. Of course I'll commish Germany, no doubt.
And do we have no world group this year? 2 years ago I won the old Europe/Australia region and since there was no H2HSB last year I hoped to finally get a shot at the big prize.
But I also accept the title by forfeit due to the lack of competion / national champs.
looks like we can get away with three groups in Europe. I'd like to see a UK, a German, and then an International.
as far as the old title, it would be nearly impossible for me to get the old scores and standings from all the leagues. I think because it was so messed up, it is just best to start fresh.
Of course, if you have access to some of the final standings from any of the old H2HSB leagues, lets post them, and start a collection. Maybe in time, we will get them all, and at least give proper recognition to the champions.
There are still some open questions, I think
Are the scoring settings final now or will they be changed? IIRC there was still a discussion whether there should be PPR or not? Maybe the scoring should be added here: http://rotodatabase.com/h...
And is there a draft weekend like in the H2HWS or can each league freely choose their draft date?
I also sent you a mail with another question.
