Unfortunately, and despite living in one of the greatest sports cities in the world, MF Leagues dont seem to work here or maybe it's just me. So, I would be more interested in a mail-order solitaire league, than playing against my own teams, and I could totally admit to a loss if the dice gods favor the visiting team.

I don't think it necessary to require so many safeguards against cheating and thievery, though. Everyone that has shared interest should be an MFCA member and agree to participate based on ethical, moral, honest, clean fun. Who would put their membership and reputation at risk over 11 or so players? It's not like we're sending out our Tournament Championship teams. Prepare both sets of teams according to the rules and specs, and have fun. If you come across a team or individual player that you covet, call the owner and share techniques. Dont steal it. Spread the word via "scouting reports" that player so and so is a bad motha-shut-your-mouth! See how well he stacks up against the other teams. Then at the end of the season, we could vote for individual achievements and possible trades.
