The FCFL will start Week 1 of its first regular season on Monday, January 10, and has openings.

The FCFL (FOF College Football League) is a Front Office Football league that seeks to simulate a college football environment as best as possible. We have 32 of the best college football programs, split into conferences in accordance with the current NCAA as well as the wishes of the coaches who formed the league.

Some similarities between the FCFL and college football:
Players only have 4 years of eligibility. They may redshirt one year, but they have 5 to play 4. After their 4th year of eligibility, or their 5th year, they must be cut.
Schools will recruit players, instead of drafting them. All the coaches will have access to the draft file, and we'll recruit players in a manner similar to, but simpler than, TCY. Distance will be a factor.

Some differences:
Bowl games will be replaced by playoffs -- don't most people want a playoff in college football anyway?
There are only 32 teams. But really, there's only 32 or so teams in contention any given year anyway!
You'll play teams in your conference twice a year. How could having Michigan-Ohio State, or Alabama-Auburn twice a year be a bad thing?

You should join, fff! I know you've been on the fence for a while now...just do it, and maybe my HFL Pats will be nicer to your Giants! :P

OK, I've taken the first step and am trying to register on your forum. However, i'm not receiving the email with my password, what should I do?

BTW, I registered as TripleF over there, fantastic flying froggies won't stick cuz it's too long...

dola - I've also just registered as i_wanna_register, to check if maybe i'd entered my email addy wrong, but still no go...

Pass, i've PMed you my email adress if you can have any way of sending me my password...

I just e-mailed you your password. I hope it works!

Pass, Hotmail doesn't like the file you just e-mailed out. It says that the file contains a virus and it won't let me download it... :(

Hey Jeebs, I tried e-mailing you the file from my hotmail account, but it won't let me. Maybe it's a hotmail problem? Other people have sent in exports, and no one else has had any problems with it. Although, Eaglesfan27 has had problems sending mail to my yahoo account, and he uses hotmail, too.

Do you have another address that maybe you can PM me?

Passacaglia,
Just wanted to let you know I am almost finished with the draft generator. You mentioned that you wanted one with a shorter high school season. Do you know how many weeks you would like? I'm going to custom make one just for your league that will have a shorter schedule.

My recollection was that a high school season was 8 weeks. How does that sounds?

Thanks so much for the customization! That must really be a PITA sincethe program itself isn't even finished!
