Well, we discussed it earlier this year. And I think that we're just crazy enough to actually do it. The idea of a Pre-Kickoff league was based off some long-forgotten discussion about teams and their reputations. Let's put it to the test.

The league runs just like any other Fantasy FIRST league, with a few modifications:

1) Any team competing in the 2006 FRC is fair game.
2) All trading, drafting, and other methods of picking a team cease at 11:59 PM the night before Kickoff.
3) The score that a team receives will be the average of the scores received at each event, including the Championship.

Unless the 2006 game requires serious revisions to it, the scoring system will be as follows:

Regionals:

(Seeding before selections)
20....1st seed
12....2nd and 3rd seed
6......4th through 8th
3......9th through 12th
2......12th through 16th

4......Quarter finalists
10.....Semifinalists
20.....Finalists
30.....Winners
