alright everyone i have an idea regaurding our league and team matches.we could make an NFL group for all of us football fans to join.then we can be a legit team with 100+ members and recruiting new members would be so easy!football is the best sport!i think we could grow to be one of the biggest groups this way and lay the smack down on everyone!                                                            P.S. we should still keep our teams alive and this way we could get more guys on our teams aswell because of the overall appeal of an "NFL" group.once they are in the NFL group they can join the team they are loyal to.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK GUYS AND IF WE LIKE THE IDEA AS A WHOLE LETS GET IT ROLLIN'

    Don't mean to butt in over here but the following may be helpful. My experience on this site, as well as others, suggests that there are few "joiners" and even fewer "contributors". To make any group or idea successful takes a lot of work on the part of the group administrator. There are many here who merely join a group just to join! They have no intention of ever contributing anything. Look around and you'll see some members who have well over 50 groups they belong to! Don't get discouraged, just redouble your efforts! Just my 2 cents, which with inflation is now worth .000025 cents!!

    I like the idea.  First of all because we can dominate and create more interest in the individual teams(with the overall desire to continue developing the original idea).  Remember, that now that the NFL season is starting there will be more interest and I have a list of 30 or more members waiting for their favorite teams to be created(members without paying accounts).  Plus we would all have a place to discuss the NFL's events and keep up a momentum for the ultimate goal.  

    As far as recruiting for individual teams is concerned, you've got to realize that for every 30 members i invited i got 1-3 interested and even a couple of them weren't real Bears fans.  I'm sorry I haven't been more active in helping out the league recently.  Don't have a computer and my time is short.

    I like the idea cowboys, but I have to say we should start when we have 57 members ( 2 coaches, 55 players). When we reach 57 members we can still recruit until we have a full size + complete NFL team.

    If it wern't for the fact that its a cowboys fan, I 'm in favor of the idea.  Vote chess sucks so I dont like that idea.

    There doesn't seem to be an overly big NFL fan base on this site, which is making recruiting difficult for some teams.  I even got the admin of the " Team USA: North-Central" group (which has over 300 members) to post a message in there about joining the Colts.  Didn't seem to help much as I've still only got 7 members...

    I'm not in favor of this.  While I see the point in having a single NFL group, the whole point of the NFL league would be lost.  Have a vote chess league with customized divisions and I think we could be fine.  If people really care about their team, they won't hesitate to vote in vote chess
