Maybe if you win you will get an invite to BP1 next season to play with the big boys!

The BP1 league is a pimple on the butt of the Ohio Football League (of which buckeyefool, thump, ebert's fat lip, and I belong) if you want to compare the two.

First, we are a dynasty league, which automatically puts it into the superior category. If you suck, you may suck for a long time.

Second, we are in our sixth year of existence. So we have a longer history.

Third, besides the money, we play for this baby:

I don't know too many leagues that have as impressive a trophey as this one!

Fourth, we have a fantasy Pro Bowl every year. How many leagues have this?

Fifth, by next summer we hope to have an OFL Hall of Fame web page. Again, I don't know too many leagues that have such.

If you win this year, you would only be the three-time champion. The 1999 season does not count as an official OFL championship because of the disaster it was that year....kind of like the 1920 season of the NFL.

Why is the trophy named the Woody Hayes Trophy? Because I won in 1999, so I got to right to name the trophy. Therefore it must have been an official year. So I would be the four time champ.

But your name isn't on the trophey for 1999 season, because there was no official OFL season that year (if you remember we only had 6 guys in the league, 5 which were active, there was no rule book, and I'm not even positive we called the league the OFL at that point...the season was a disaster). You can't claim a title that was never officially part of the OFL. It's like a Browns fan claiming their AAFL titles in the late 1940s count as NFL titles. (Okay, that is a low blow comparing you to the Browns, but I needed an etreme example to make my point.)

You've got me there, Grad. That is impressive.

How many teams are in the OFL ?

How many players do you protect?

There are 10 teams. We have considered expansion to 12 (we even have rules for an expansion draft if it ever needed), but feel it would deplete the level of talent on each team, which we would like to keep high.

We have 20-man rosters (they can be larger with IR players). About a month before the season, each team cuts their total roster to 15. We then have a 7 round draft.

Do the teams at the bottom ever get better ? Seems like that would be a good way to weed out the bad owners.

In our league one owner has finished last the last three years. This year he has actually made some moves and is starting to make a run for the playoffs. I guy has had horrible luck with injury to players the last two years and this year he is actually staying pretty healthy. Besides this league I am in a league with My dad and uncles that has been a keeper league since 1978.

To a certain degree, yes this occurs. However, time has shown that if an owner is active in free agency and trades, makes intelligent draft picks in the middle rounds, and is patient with developing young talent, he will compete for the playoffs.

In the example fool pointed out, the one owner has absolutely sucked over the last three years (overall record of 6-38-1). He has had the first draft pick over the last three years, but each player has been a bust or injured. This year, after some bold trades and free agency moves, plus finally staying healthy, he is 5-2. This being the 6th year of the league, we have yet to see a team suck for more than three years in a row.
