725 would be ok...only means I would have to redraft for an eight time (as my face twitches).

Having drafted to 600, I can tell you that yes 725 would offer a more varied player pool but owners might actually use less players.  As I stated earlier, 600 was a far more determining factor in making my team than the 90 million cap.  I could put together a roster that would leave a lot of money on the table, in fact.  600 forced me to throw out some big names and replace them with more obscure ones; choose carefully where to utilize low-D players so that I could afford higher-D ones; and made the use of defensive specialists cost-prohibitive.  At 725, I can get the team I want.

As an example, I currently have five Fs with D ratings under 50.  I immediately see that I would replace all but one of them, change at least one of them to a defensive specialist, and bump up at least two more positions to close to 70 D.

I agree that the 725 max would offer more players as possible to be used for fwds.  It was an error on my part.  Originally set parameter at 600, but then drafting a team I realized it was way too restrictive, so I upped it to 725.  Drafted a couple of teams using the 725 and was happy with it, but when I posted the ad, I just copied and pasted from my original and forgot to change the 600 to 725.  I am sure that even though it will mean another redraft, with the 725 it will not be as taxing on the cranium.  I'll plost the change in the thread immediately.  Sorry for the confusion...as Scott will attest...it is just another example of "an age thing".

yes, I think 725 will work better. This video can explain

LOL!!!  Well to be honest, I used this video as a reference (though yours would have worked as well).

Great, Keith.  No all we need is sufficient to actually get this league to fly.  Gone are the days when I set the record and filled a league in 6 hrs and 27 mins from first posting.  Now 6 weeks is more the norm, sadly.

Looks like fun............count me in.

I'll play.

i'll play, i cut my eye teeth on this era,  but i won't be able to do any drafting for a week or two.

Welcome guys.  Not to worry, cb.  This will not be filling fast anyway.  If things suddenly pick up and we fill quicker than anticipated, I'll contact you.

This league seems to have been appropriately named!!!

Oh alright, I'm in.  I've been resisting for a week or so, but I respect my elders and hate to see a grown (old?) man
