First off, I have no intentions to play a free Yahoo League but I have some questions about them.

1. Can you set up a free 14 team private league.
2. If so, can one owner have more than one team.
3. If so, can you pick and choose categories and positional eligibility requirements

I am joining a rather unique 14 team league. The stats are done the old school way - by hand by the commissioner.

I would like to set up a shadow league to track the stats and, more importantly, track all player's positional eligibility.

I plan to post something on this league this week but the unique aspects of it are
1. One hitting category - the sum of Runs & RBIs
2. One Starting pitching category - 3 * Wins
3. One Closer pitching category - wins & saves
3. 10 game last year eligibility and 10 game in-season eligibility.

I'm looking for a free site that I can keep some numbers.

Suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Mike,

Couple of ideas don't know that they really help.

Non sarcastic answer - You would need to use/pay for the commish feature on a stat's site, no site I know of will allow you to have that many customizable catagories for free. Even though you won't be able to duplicate the league, I'd still set up a 5x5 mirror league. I know ESPN will let you enter teams and rosters, however position eligiability is still done by there default.

Sarcastic answer - Tell the commish that we live in 2012, and there is no need to wait for the tues/wed edition of the USA today for all of last weeks baseball stats, so that he can break out the calculator and pen/paper to do league standings. Stop being cheap, have every team kick in an extra $20 and use a stat service that will probably have live stats and no possible human error.

my understanding is that the results from the prior week and this weeks current lineup are out by noon Monday.

I need to post on the leagues and it's unusual setup and several clever rules. That is now next on my agenda.

Mike, I tried this a couple of years ago and found that Yahoo would not allow me to run multiple teams off of a single computer. Rotowire might and it's pretty reasonably priced.

It would take some work and be very tedious but it could be accomplished by deleting cookies.

If I was the commissioner of the league, wouldn't I be able to change lineups. I can find 13 others to "officially" be the owner.
