2016 Football Season! FantasyMania VIII



Enjoy the Wave Race music as you read through the season introduction!

Welcome to the NEW FantasyMania website! 

What's the point of a website, you ask? Well, I've taken most of the features from the 2015 Season Compendium and added them here and polished everything up. Google Docs is good for some stuff, but it's not ideal for displaying owner profiles, records, rivalries, stats, graphics, and the history of our league. The plan is to update this site twice a year: 1) at the start of each new season, to celebrate another year of FantasyMania with a ceremonial post full of updates, graphics, pictures, and traditions (basically what you're getting here); and 2) at the end of each season, to keep the records and history current. Casual announcements and discussions will continue to take place on the Facebook page. I'm not going to delete the 2015 Google Doc, but it will no longer be updated. Please scroll down to read about all of the changes coming to FantasyMania this year! I hope you enjoy the new site!

What you need to know for the 2016 season:

🌟 Check out the Code of Conduct 🌟 

🏈 As always, the official FantasyMania VIII banner will be designed and released once everyone settles on a team name! All owners are encouraged to name their teams in conjunction with this year's Nintendo theme, but it isn't a requirement.

🏈 Date of Christmas Party & Awards Ceremony: will be discussed on FB

🏈 Rosters reset. No keepers. Keepers may resume in 2017.

🏈 Trade vetoes are now based on league votes. It requires 8 votes to veto a trade. In effect, if a trade is going to be stopped, everyone in the league but the 2 traders must vote to veto. Votes cannot be used as trade fodder, bargaining chips, or gifts; votes cannot be sold; this is considered collusion.

🏈 Draft pick trading is permitted and encouraged. All picks are trade eligible. Draft pick trading begins on Monday, July 18th.

🏈 There is an added FLEX2 roster spot and one fewer bench spot. This is the only roster change.

Will Sarah recapture her rookie season form and challenge for a title? 

Will Jeff win 10 games and repeat as regular season champions? 

Will Cary and his star-studded, draft-day hype teams be deep enough for a play-off run? 

Will Binkerd make it 3 consecutive Chandler Bowl appearances? It's never been done!
