If there's sufficient interest (read: if 5 more people want to play), I'll moderate a Parity League Fantasy League (PLFL). I'd run it similar to how NFL Fantasy Football is run, outlined below.
OUTLINE:
Each week of parity, two players in PLFL would face off against each other with their roster of players. After all three games, the player with the higher score will win the week.
ROSTERS:
Players will be divided into tiers A, B, C based on their finishing salary in the most recent season of parity that they've played. Every week, you set a roster (let's say by Monday at 5 pm) of 2 A players, 2 B players and 2 C player. You must play be 1 male and 1 female player for each tier.
POINTS:
Points could be awarded the same scale as salary, but that's no fun. We want excitement (tm) in our PLFL! I propose the following scoring system:
Goal: 3 points
Assist: 2 points
D-block: 1.5 points
Completed Throw: 0.25 points
Incomplete Throw (Either ThrowAway or ThrowDrop) or drop: -0.5 points
WOW* factor: 3.5 points
OMG* factor: -2.5 points
*WOW factor and OMG factor will be reported on either through email or via forum to me and corroborated by at least one other person (unless it's Amos, who I assume gets at least 1.5 OMG factors per game)
SCHEDULE:
Each player will play each other player until playoff, where we will do some sort of bracket play based on regular season record. This will have to depend on interest (i.e. if it's just me, I'll win by default)
RULES:
1) You CANNOT draft yourself!
2) The roster deadline is 5 pm Monday before parity.
3) You can have a bench of 3 players who you can add to your roster any time before the roster deadline.
4) You can add or remove players from your roster any time between Thursday morning at 8:00 am and Monday night at 5:00 pm.
5) Max roster size is 9 players (6 active, 3 bench).

What are we playing for?
I think because it's the first run through, it's just for bragging rights. For session 2, we could do a $5 buy in? Second place gets $5 refund, winner gets the balance?

You obviously don't remember me well...
I'm worth at least 4 OMGs per game. But no team will have the honour of knowing that first hand this year.

Doesn't this make a lot of
Doesn't this make a lot of work for the volunteer compilers? Wouldn't just going by salary be easier?
(Mostly I'm just bent out of shape because a goal is worth more than an assist.)

Passing TD is worth less than
Passing TD is worth less than a catching TD, so channel your inner Brady and deflate that ego of yours :)

Your shape should be unbent
Your shape should be unbent when you realize how criminally undervalued throwaways are...
Oh, but you can't draft yourself.
As you were.

Based on analysis of this league...
... they are pretty close to the correct value. Every turnover is worth ~0.5 goals against.

Tentatively Monday.
I predict I take you 43rd overall then trade you to Al in a sweetheart deal that sadly ups your chances of coffee mishaps significantly, since you'll be warming up together every week.

Tanya, you're about 20,000
Tanya, you're about 20,000 slack messages too late :/ (and you don't have to be part of the league to participate).
I imagine Bush will setup another round for session 2.
