All of the teams have been set up (although there were a few problems), so we are ready to go with the 2006 season of The Polish Princes Fantasy Football! Our league has been set up on Yahoo Sports. That site will track all of the stats and handle all of the transactions throughout the season. It has been set up to operate under the rules we discussed at our draft meeting. In summary:

• Each team will play the following players during the week: 1 QB; 2 RB; 2 WR; 1 TE; 1 K; and their defense. You must submit your starting lineup to pzalasky@greenoakadmin.com by Thursday morning each week. We will be cutting it close with week 1, as games will begin Thursday night and I just got things set up, so please try to get your starters to me as soon as you can.

Yahoo will be tracking the weekly scoring and cumulative standings for us. I will post each week's results on this site on Tueaday morning, along with an individual breakdown of each player's performance.

As we discussed, transactions will be handled in the following ways:

• Waiver claims will be made in order of worst to first in the standings. Any waiver claims must be submitted to me by Wednesday. If there are teams below you in the standings, they will be notified that there is a pending waiver claim, and will be given the opportunity to make a claim of their own. Each team will have a "reasonable amount of time" to make a claim of their own before the waiver transaction will be processed (I don't have a specific amount of time to allow for claims, so I'll play it by ear to begin with. If you have any ideas, let me know). Please note: I will not divulge the player you wish to claim. This way, players requested by teams at the top of the standings will not be stolen by teams at the bottom. You have to do your own research, gentlemen!
• Trades can be requested at any time, among two or more willing participants. Each trade must be approved by a majority of the teams not involved in the trade. Once a trade is proposed, I will send it to each team manager for review. Again, after a reasonable amount of time, a ruling will be issued on the status of the trade.
• Players can be placed on your injured list if they are listed as "questionable", "doubtful", or "out" on the weekly injury report, or are placed on their team's injured reserve list. I will do my best to publish on this site the list of all players in our league who land on the injury reports. You may keep up to 3 players on your injured list, as long as they fall under the categories listed above. If you wish to activate them, you must release one of your active players, assuming nobody else becomes injured. Claims to replace injured players will be handled the same way as waiver claims.

I think this about does it for the set up of the league. I will attempt to publish an injury report within the next 24 hours, just in case someone's star player somehow came up with, oh, say, appendicitis over the last few days. If you have any questions, or have an idea for something that might work better, feel free to let me know.

Good Luck!!
