Text reply with a thumbs up 👍

Takes two seconds. I've got a mix of iPhones and Androids in the group and I want to confirm every phone is receiving these messages before we go any further.

Send it as a message in the chat — not a tapback reaction — so I can see it on every device.

Scoring — What's Different

We're on Yahoo half-PPR with a handful of deliberate tweaks. The theme is less luck, more skill. Full breakdown lives on the rules page.

Lineup — 9 starters

QB × 1 · RB × 2 · WR × 2 · TE × 1
FLEX (W/R/T) × 2
DEF × 1
No kicker

Offense — changes from Yahoo default

Passing TD: 6 (default 4)
INT thrown: -2 (default -1)
Bonus +3 at 100+ rushing yards (default 0)
Bonus +3 at 100+ receiving yards (default 0)
Bonus +3 at 400+ passing yards (default 0)

Defense — changes from Yahoo default

Sack: 2 (default 1)
INT: 3 (default 2)
Fumble recovery: 3 (default 2)

Everything else — yardage rates, TDs, points-allowed ladder, waivers (2-day rolling), trades (commissioner review), 4-team playoff Weeks 16–17 — is Yahoo default. Full breakdown on the rules page.

Yahoo Invite

Lands in your email inbox — sent by Yahoo, not by me. Subject line starts with "You've been invited to join…". Open it, tap the button, sign in (or create a free Yahoo account), and you're in the league + draft room.

Draft Date & Time

Target is Labor Day weekend. I'll poll the group in the chat so we lock a day and time that works for everyone.
