Would anyone be interested in a head to head pool. This one looks good, but I don't like that your only allowed to make 10 moves, what if you have up to 10 injuries on the season?
FYI. The other pool is H2H. But I'm probably going to kill it because there isn't enough interest.

Is this a rotissiere league? I would prefer Head-to-Head. Rotissiere has that weighted scoring system so that your standing is based on how others are doing. It's not a bad system for public leagues, but it gives no incentive for the shitty teams to make their teams better since the scoring system gives the perception that a medicore team is doing 'alright'. Plus, there's no 'playoffs' in rotissiere. And there's no incentive to be an active manager because, in theory, you can go months without having to adjust your lineup.
Moving on...I like some sort of limit on the number of moves. Trust me, there's always one guy who will do pick-ups and drops almost every single day in order to whore as many points as possible. In a rotissiere league it doesn't matter much since there are limits on the number of games played at each position. But in an H2H league it can really make a difference if the whoring manager really knows what he's doing.
I'm in a baseball pool with a guy who has made well over 200 moves this season. It was pretty much myself and 10 other teams with our 15 players each versus this guy and the rest of MLB. Poetic justice though - he only managed to finish 3rd and got beat out in the first round of the playoffs. But it was a pathetic fantasy season in that league since the other managers could not quickly pick up a decent player to fill in an injured player because all the decent ones were constantly clearing waivers instead of being a free agent.
