Year 2 we did some more advanced meetings and a couple mock drafts, call this FFL 201.

Year 3 we've done several mocks, with different draft strategies and ranking discussions
I didn't realize fantasy football required a Bachelor's degree!

Seriously tho, I think you're overcomplicating things just a bit, it is just a game. I've commished several leagues over the years and have tried different ways to encourcage deadbeat owners to actively manage their team. End result, not much you can do about it. Either they give a shit or they don't.

If you're stuck with an odd number of teams, just draft with the 11 teams you've got. Then the ghost team's weekly score is the weekly average of the 11 real teams. So somebody is playing against the league average every week. This worked decent for me one year, and some sites support this automatically. And this is actually better for the owners who are active, because that leaves more talent to acquire.

Just my 2 cents...
