I'm going to throw a bunch of questions out to see what everyone wants:
- Do we want to stick with 12 teams? Or does anyone think we'll need 14 or 16. I guess we can always adjust it so long as it stays an even number.
- Live draft or like we usually do it? Either way is fine with me but I'd lean towards drafting here over the course of a week or two since we'll have more teams and it might be tougher to get everyone in one imaginary room at the same time.
- Do you guys prefer that the Playoffs be week 14,15,16 or 15,16,17 - Either an extra week of Fantasy Football, or less chance of starters resting during the championship game?
- How many bench spots? I'm usually in favor of a few too many rather than a few too few
- Can't Cut list or no?

Is this the scheme decided?
A couple of things, two flex positions are going to push things pretty thin I think. I'm more in favor of one. Also 8 bench spots :o That's 18 rounds of drafting and at 12 teams, we're going 216 deep? Doesn't that seem a bit much? I don't see why we need that many really, I think part of the fun is making hard decisions, not keeping a duplicate (or triplicate or more) of every position you have.
I'd suggest maybe 5 bench spots: backups for QB, WR, RB, TE and K/Def. Given we're going to probably have 4 RB (assuming two starters, one flex and one bench) and 4 WR (as with RB) each, it's going to get awfully thin out there. Going with 8 is going to largely render the waiver wire pretty damn boring and useless. I'd personally like to see less than that and maybe give 2 IR spots (of which there seem to be none currently). That's still 7 slots not actively used each week (assuming injuries).
Scoring looks mostly fine to me.
