    Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the second installment of the ?Around the Horn Fantasy League? (ATHFL). This is a little dream of mine that i put together awhile ago, I hope it goes as well as the last time. I also hope that all the participants will have fun playing. First things first, we must give homage to the past.

    ATHFL (Spring Leauge '07)

    ATHFL (Spring League) Champion '07

    JMJacenSolo

    So on to the rules of play.

    The Participants
    There will be two types of participants in this game: the commissioner and the GM's.

    The Commissioner: Will be yours truly. It will be my job to post show results, and update points/rankings. Since this draft is still in it's infancy, I am open to all suggestions and help (either posted here or PM'ed).

    The GM?s: I?m hoping to get 8-16 of you signed up. It is your job to send in your weekly roster (talked about later...in 2 seconds).

    Competing
    At the beginning of each week, GM?s Must submit their Starting Lineup for that week via PM. The Deadline for submitting rosters to the commish is 9pm PST Sunday Night. If the GM chooses to post their roster, that is their choice, but only PM?ed rosters will be accepted. If a GM forgets or doesn?t PM the commish, then the starting lineup will be randomized. In the past i have PM'ed reminders and also bent the rules for players to get in rosters. I may still do this, and I may not. It just depends on my mood. This is out of the kindness of my heart, so don't be upset if I randomize your rosters. I only promise that I will do my best to make this run smoothly. Without further adieu, here is the players list you can chose from.

    Players
    1. J. A. Adande [Los Angeles Times]
    2. Jim Armstrong [The Denver Post]
    3. Kevin Blackstone [The Dallas Morning News]
    4. Tim Cowlishaw [The Dallas Morning News]
    5. Jackie MacMullan [Boston Globe]
    6. Jay Mariotti [Chicago Sun-Times]
    7. Woody Paige [The Denver Post]
    8. Bill Plaschke [Los Angeles Times]
    9. Bob Ryan [Boston Globe]
    10. Michael Smith [ESPN.Com]
    11. Mystery Guests (Ron Borges / Josh Elliot / Richard Justice / Mark Kiszla / Adam Schefter / Dan Shanoff / Gene Wojciechowski / and others)

    You can choose any ONE player from the list for any day of the week.

    For example, your PM could look like this:

    Monday - Blackastone
    Tuesday - Ryan
    Wednesday - Smith
    Thursday - Mariotti
    Friday - Paige

    You can also chose ?Mystery Guest? for any day, and if any one other then players 1-10 show up, then that is your player for that day.


    Point System
    Each player will gain points based on the performance of their selected ATH participant. Scoring will be based on the following:

    +4 points if your player wins a Showdown
    +2 points if your player makes the Showdown
    +1 point if your player is cut during the second cut
    +0 points if your player is cut during the first cut
    +1 bonus point if your player sweeps the Showdown
    -1 point if your a player is a no show

    If you have any questions about the point system, post and ask or PM me, and I will try and explain more. If for some reason the point system doesn?t work, then there is always hope for a future versions of ATHFL in the future. After the league is over we can tweak the system for the next installment. Also if I mess up on the points for that day, correct me, I?m only as perfect as you.

    Prizes and Punishment
    After the four weeks, the user with the highest point total will be given 24 hours of VIPship and colors. The user with the lowest point total will be given a 24-hour game ban. In the case of a tie for first, all tied users will be given 24 hours of VIPship and colors, and in case of a tie for last, all tied users will be given a 24-hour game ban.
