What, already? Yes, already. I'm posting this a little later than last year because, well, if last year is any indication it'll take virtually no time at all to fill the league and I'm guessing we won't want any major rule changes, so that'll leave us with a few weeks to sort out the draft time.
So, you guys all know the deal: 14 spots. Last year's owners get first dibs, but given that a number of them aren't around the site much and there's huge demand for spots every year, we're only going to give them a moderate amount of time to confirm they're returning. I think it's only fair that people who are around a lot and particularly eager get a chance now and again. All will be considered, but this is intended to be a MoFo league first and foremost, so preference will definitely be given to regular and/or longtime members, if it comes to that.
If you want in and you didn't play last year, just reply right now and establish your place in line. The odds are decent that at least one owner won't return (though last year that was literally the number that didn't: one!), but odds are even decent-er (shut up, it's pretty close to a word) that there won't be more than 2-3, tops, because this league is pretty freakin' awesome and the people who play in it almost universally love it. Seriously, we have a blast. I really need to start abusing my power and selling these slots to people, but for the moment I still have scruples. Two, in fact. I have two scruples. Still plural.
And just because I want you all to like me so very much, I'll once again be springing for one of those for whoever should win:

That one's mine (IN YOUR FACE, NO ONE IN PARTICULAR!), but you can also peruse the much more upsetting, disturbing photos that Jay posted after winning it last year. I'd click on that link but, you know, it kinda makes me want to cry icy tears of volcanic rage. Shut up, it's pretty close to a coherent metaphor.
So, with that said: have at it. If you're coming back, reply and let us know (and check the inbox for whichever email address you used last year, because your invite's already there). If you're new and want in, reply, and we'll see in a few days whether or not any spots are likely to open up.
