First here's how you get to the site to sign up: (its completely free too!)
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem
Once there you need to register, so select the SignUp Now button. My suggestion is to try your name here, but it needs to be unique. I will say that I have not recieved spam from signing up for this. They will ask you if you want reminders sent to you when you actually add into the league.
Once you have completed the registration process you again return to:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem
You'll notice that you have a "my private groups" and a "my public groups" both have an add/edit button. If you wish to join the public group, you can, its a straight up league.
But I'm more conscerned with the private groups so select the private group. The group ID is 11168 and the password for the league is Gradishar. You might just want to copy the password to your clipboard and paste it in. Just keep in mind there are no spaces or periods in the password just Randy's last name. In a nutshell its a pool maximum of 34 players, completely free, and its against the spread, which can change up until Wed or Thursday, but usually doesn't. I don't set the line, I think its a consensus of odds from vegas. I really don't care if you allow me to edit your picks or not. I probably want you to just answer no to that question as you might want me to do your picks for you. I also have put up a commisioner's note, that I encourage you to read.
Have a great time on the Broncomaniacs league and lets see who's the best!

Group ID: 11168 <-- THIS IS THE NUMBER YOU MUST ENTER

3. Max players:

4. Confidence Points?
No
Confidence Points Details Confidence Points are used to give different weight to each of the game's during a given week. You will assign a point value (from 1 to 15 if there are 15 games, 1 to 14 if there are 14 games, etc.) to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your selection. If your selection is correct, you will receive points equal to the confidence point value you associated with that game.
5.Use Spread?
Yes
Point Spread Details A point spread is the predicted scoring difference between a game's two opponents. If you choose the team that is favored, they must win by more than the spread number in order for you to get credit for a correct pick. If you choose the underdog team, they must lose by less than the spread number in order for you to get credit for the correct pick.
So, if you pick Dallas and Dallas is favored to beat Pittsburgh by five points (Dallas -5.0), they must win the game by six or more points in order for you to get credit for the win. Otherwise, if Pittsburgh loses by less than five, you would not get credit for the win. If Dallas wins by exactly five points, the game is a push, and no users get credit for a victory.
Yahoo! Sports uses the point spreads provided by the Associated Press. These spreads will be updated each day. Unless there are Thursday games, Thursday's lines will serve as the game's official spread. In weeks with Thursday games, Wednesday's line will be the official spread.
Tie Breaker:
No
9. Select Deadline: 5 minutes before each game
