  • It would be a 100% payout (basically a non profit league)
  • We would also award a trophy to the winner each year. Nothing huge, probably a desktop style trophy (roughly 8") with engraving.
  • Would use real rosters of course, possibly a fantasy draft but not sure yet.
So we are just waiting to hear back from Marcus, but since its non profit, I see no problem with it, but I would like his approval in any case.
Good luck getting his or Duffy's approval. I've had a well outlined proposal to be a third-party service as you indicate for 7 months now with no response. And this is with sending out three and four followup inquiries every 4-6 weeks in case it got lost in the shuffle.

My league would be for profit because, no offense to anyone reading this, but you wouldn't be worth my free time if I couldn't be in the league. Plus, there are costs to running a website. The "profit" would be very minimal, though.
