These are by far my favorite leagues, mostly because you can play a little bit all year long.
There are 2 DieHard leagues.
Currently, we have 2 vacancies in each league (still waiting to hear from 2 more owners), and we have 2 new owners already in the waiting list.
However, we won't be 100% sure of the open team count until all fees are paid at the end of February.
DH1 = DieHard Fantasy Football league (19th Season)
DH2 = DieHard II High Roller League (18th Season)
$65 for DH1, $125 fees for DH2, both with full payouts
14 teams, play every other team once
IDP with 40-43 roster spots, 3 IR, 8 Taxi
12 keepers each offseason, with salary increases
PPR scoring
5 offseason Auctions and 1 Rookie Draft
In all, the league will hold 5 mini-auctions and 1 rookie draft, spread out about every 4 weeks between March and August.
By September, our rosters are full, and we play a typical PPR-IDP season.
The keeper rules are structured well, and allow a lot of turnover of good players.
All of the open teams have top-5 rookie draft picks, and better keepers than the average returning team.
If you have experience with IDP and salary cap auctions, you can be competitive in your first year.
I didn't when I started, and still managed to step up by year 2.
The sites are located here:
Please visit the rules pages of either site.
At the bottom of both rules pages is a summary of the differences between the 2 DieHard leagues.
All of the open teams literally have "Open Team" as their team names.
New owners won't jump into the open teams as-is.
Instead, all of the new owners will pick players from the open teams through a Dispersal Draft.
My name is Terry.
I own the Freaks of Nature teams.
I have been commissioner for about 9 years now, but have been in these leagues for over 14.
