Changes to names, rules highlight offseason

Preseason caucus set for August

BEACON FALLS, Conn. — As the nation slowly begins to shift its focus back toward football, so too does the Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League. In about one month, the league’s 12 franchises will prepare to draft for a third season.

To help the league’s owners and legion of fans get back into gear and set the scene for the upcoming season, Commissioner Kyle Brennan has a series of announcements pertaining to the start of league business.

“I’m thoroughly excited for the Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League’s third season,” Brennan said. “We have a powerful and clear Constitution in place after our productive owners meeting in January, a fascinating draft lineup and a terrific defending champion — all of which look to make this fall our best season to date.”

While the league is still coming into shape for this fall, Brennan advises owners and fans to disregard any divisional or schedule alignments automated by Yahoo!’s engine. The league office will straighten out all such issues once all owners have re-registered their teams.

Among the announcements are new team names, reminders of rule changes passed in January, proposals for the preseason caucus and a look-ahead toward the season’s structure.

The league is full of 12 passionate owners and to cover this league takes a special kind of reporter. Let’s jump right into some of the news and notes we missed last month.
