I'm sure you all remember my failed attempt to bring by the TV Ratings compo - obviously just way too much work.

But I've recently been brain storming a way to combine my love of fantasy sports with my love of television programming.

Which is where the Fantasy TV League has been spawned, at least in my head. I have a pretty good idea of how I want to run it, but am still working out some details. Ideally, I would've started this BEFORE the season began when there was still some mystery behind how shows would do. What I actually want to do is basically "beta test" the idea with a few people for the rest of the "Fall Season" - ending mid-December. See how it works, make any tweaks, and then perhaps expand the field if there's interest for the Spring TV Season.

Here's the basic concept.

-You draft a "team" of TV shows to fill out a weekly "starting line up." The goal is to have the highest ratings possible. You will be matched up against one of your competitors for a weekly head to head matchup. The winner is the person with the highest total ratings.

-Much like in Fantasy Football, there are certain positions you have to start. Here is what a starting line up will look like:

2 ABC
2 CBS
2 FOX
1 NBC
1 CW
1 Flex (ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX)

So you must start 2 ABC shows, 2 CBS shows, etc. The Flex spot can be any show.

-Rosters will consist of 10 starters, and you will have 5 bench spots where you can rotate shows in and out based no how you think they will perform, or if they're on a reruns or just not airing that week.

-Weeks run Sunday-Friday.

-Final overnight ratings (Adults 18-49) are what counts.

-Shows that come on multiple times a week (ie. The Voice or if a show gets a special 2 hour back to back slot), I will use the average of each episode from that week to come up with the rating for that show that week.

The Beta test will probably only have 6 people (including myself) at most. Depending on how this goes, I could add cable TV shows after the Beta Test.

Let me know if you're interested. If more than 5 other people express interest, I will choose people based on previous participation track records - so it won't necessarily be first come, first serve. I will keep anyone who does not get selected in mind for when we expand after the Beta Test.

This thread can also be used for questions, comments, brain storming ideas, etc.

Keep the interest coming - I will decide on participants for the "beta test" tomorrow.

Since I didn't have the heart to cut one of you, I decided I wouldn't participate and just run it.

So you're all in for this initial run! More to come.
