"Many of the championship teams had Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson, but adding Steve Smith and Tiki Barber, made Michael's team the best in the competition." AFFL is one of the nation's fastest growing fantasy leagues. Established in 2003 with 168 teams for the 2004 season, the league had nearly 700 teams for 2005 and expects to grow to 4200 contestants in 2006. It's known for its simplicity -- easy online registration and straight-forward, common sense rules. However, Wickham feels the league's high level of competition at multiple price points has been the key ingredient to its popularity. The 2006 season will add an additional level - Copper - that will be free and allow 1200 contestants to compete for merchandise prizes, such as a large flat screen TV and game systems. AFFL will also modify its Bronze level to allow for a mid-season competition among 1200 contestants. AFFL offers real-time fantasy scoring and player stats in its head-to-head regular season and points-based playoffs. Contestants draft players online from home.
