| 1 Mike Dorsey, Elizabethton, TN
2 I play in mostly 14 to 32 team IDP Dynasty/Keeper leagues. Average 12-15 per year. Mostly on MFL
3 I wanted to try a redraft IDP as I usually play Dynasty, to see how the strategy differs.
4 With the # of leagues I'm in and being a computer teacher, I am able to check in on them daily.
5 Not really a favorite memory but...I ran the table a few years ago going undefeated in a 16 team league and lost to the 8th ranked team in the first round of the playoffs. However not a favorite memory it does stick with me.
6 Upper echelon player, who always replies to trade proposals usually with explanations or counter-proposals.
7 I live in Jason Witten's hometown and have practiced him during his 7th grade year in basketball.
8 I want to play! |

| Welcome Mike!! How did you find us? Also, are you saying you want to do our "Roster Wars Training Camp", or join our prospect process, or both?
I would hop in and read the bylaws either way, the league is pretty intense. Glad to have you here, stick around and talk some football! |

| Well congrats on the Cavs first Championship. That city has been suffering for something like that. Originally from the Cleveland area or why the ties to the teams? |

| My dad is from Cleveland, so growing up watching THE Ohio State University and all of the Cleveland teams it kinda stuck with me.
Being an Ohio State fan in SEC country has been tough until the blew Bama up! |

| The SEC is a whole different level of football fanaticism. I went to law school at Wake and got a feel for it on some road trips. But the moment that I remember the most is going to a wedding for someone that went to Florida. The reception and ceremony were at her house. Shortly after the ceremony ended (but during the reception) Florida played another SEC team (I think that it might have been LSU but forget now). Once the game started there was a trickle of people into the living room to watch the game. By the middle of the first quarter, it seemed that every person from Florida was in the living room watching the game and the people left at the reception were friends from high school or work friends, i.e. those that did not go to an SEC school. The best part was that the bride had the best seat in the house, in the middle of the couch, and was cheering louder than anyone else. |

| By the way, I like the combination you used for your Mascot name. I once joined a fantasy baseball league and named my team the Oaklacisco Giantics after the Giants & A's and they wanted me to drop the name and change it as it was to confusing to look at. But Your Mamma's Ass was acceptable. Needless to say, that league wasn't for me. Way to come up with a Mascot by using 3-name combination. It rolls off the tongue nicely. |

| Thanks. Can't take credit for it as it was a now closed sports bar in Cleveland. I had asked them to let me buy a t-shirt as the letters were in each teams colors but they closed before filling my request. |

Howdy Mike I think the RWTC will more than satisfy your curiosity...and will be better run/managed/participated in than anything you will find posted over at FBG...ask me how I know. Have fun, and welcome to the madness... |

If you are not in the prospect process for the Dynasty portion, and you are simply doing RWTC, there are no quota's for posting. |

OK I'll bite....How do you know? Been swimming in "The Shark Pool" for many years...Some good...some not so much. Participated in numerous leagues, of which most left me wanting. Went through elaborate qualification processes, only to find "they" weren't qualified to play with me...
Nothing is ever perfect, but since my days playing off the newspaper stat sheet, waiting until Wednesday or Thursday to find out who won a close match-up...I haven't found anything like RW. Perfect combination of format, participation, and most of all, diversity of membership...It is a "Club' rather than League; you will find that you aren't just logging-in for the football, but to engage with the members on a wide variety of topics, truly something for everyone.
Stick around long enough, and it all will become clear... |

| To whomever, does playing in the Training Camp League in anyway effect becoming a prospect for the Dynasty League? How does the process work (without digging through the bylaws)? Do you play in the Training Camp to get to the Dynasty?
Thanks in Advance. |

| I don't see playing or not playing in the RWTC greatly impacting what happens on the dynasty side. If you're a great fit, you'll get a chance even if you never play. And if you're not a good fit, playing the RWTC won't help you.
However, with that being said, the RWTC is a great way to get acclimated to the league's scoring and setup. There are a few lineup wrinkles and scoring differences across positions that some are not used to dealing with. |

Currently drafting in 3 single player use 32 team leagues. Have you played in one like that? It is definitely different... |
