Mark Williams started up a league this season. I just saw some e-mail to the staff list one day saying there were some openings, so I jumped on it.

I don't think there's any way for you to actually check out how the league is going unless you have one of the teams. I'm not sure if there is some kind of observer option, I've never checked it out but I will look into it.

As far as how the game is played, during football season I use my blog here on the community Center as kind of a weekly fantasy football article. I wrote one earlier this year about the liveworld league specifically as far as how the game is played. Check it out here:

it's really fun! You draft different players from different NFL teams to make your own "team", then if those players score in the real NFL games, you get points for your team. That's a real simple explanation, basically every league has different variations on rules, but it makes pretty much every game exciting. I might not normally be interested in Philadelphia versus the Giants, but I have a running back playing in one of my leagues for Philadelphia, so suddenly I want to watch the game. Or if my opponent has somebody going in Houston versus Atlanta, then I want to keep tabs on that game.

And you don't even have to be a huge football geek to play like Robin said, she pretty much drafted players from her favorite team, so you can have fun knowing that when your team scores for real, it's getting points for your fantasy team.

and true, my team did crush Robin this week, but if we had played the week before, she would have beaten me! Just like real football, anybody can beat anybody on any given day

I don't know a thing about fantasy football. Good luck and keep us posted as to who won! I didn't even know we had teams. Where do I go to check it out?
