Fantasy Football-1st Call 
Throwbacks-Retro Active Fantasy Football League
 
Training camps will be starting in a few weeks! It's time to start scouting for your Fantasy Team!
This is our first recruitment message.
If you are interested in participating in the Retro Active Fantasy Football League please respond to this email, or email us at newsletter@shopretroactive.com.

There is no cost to join, and there will be prizes awarded for 1st place regular season record and tournament winner. Keep in mind, this is a friendly league and done for fun!! Perfect for first timers! Vulgar and unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Also, sign up only if you plan to participate for the entire season. I will be monitoring activity, and habitual inactivity will result in disqualification for prizes. Because we had so many owners "falling off" before the end of the season, we will be starting new, so, unfortunately, previous players will not have the option of the 3 "keepers" from last year's team.
Live draft will be done online Saturday August 10 at 7pm.
