You can customize scoring on yahoo. Once we get our 12 players lets create the league (I'm ok with Aardvarks being commish, he has done it before) and we can hash out scoring details later.

I also like 4 bench slots, just personal preference though.
Exactly. Forces one to make choices...do I release the guy injured for 6 weeks or not.

I think I have usually played with six or seven bench players. But playing with only four sounds intriguing. I am down with that if that is what the majority wants.

It also affects the draft since you have to draft bench players for bye weeks
instead of just drafting an awesome backup running back or whatever

Yea 12 teams would be cool. I think we are currently at 11/12 so there is one more slot open.

Honestly, I'm down with whatever rules people want. It's always good to mix it up a bit and try some different stuff.

I'll do 12. Personally my VA league plays the following format

QB
2 RBs
2 WRs
Flex (RB/WR)
TE
K
2 LBs or D linemen
2 DBs
4 or 5 on the bench
