Join Zealots Field

Zealots Field has grown in a few short years from a single fantasy football league to over 60 fantasy football leagues that are organized into many syndicates. This growth has occurred because of the steady influx of fantasy football fans who are searching for a deep set of rules, year-round activity, first-class competition, and like-minded owners who are committed to the Zealots Code of Conduct. We are always interested in hearing from prospective members who think that Zealots Field may be a good fit for them.

Of course, we recognize that Zealots Field isn't for everyone. Some people may want a more wide-open environment where "anything goes" on message boards. Some may choose to avoid free Internet leagues thinking there's less challenge when no money is wagered. And some may just not have enough desire or free-time to maintain the activity level that we feel is so vital to an enjoyable league. But that's OK. We aren't trying to be everything to everybody. We just enjoy the Zealots Field experience and we continue to attract others who feel the same.

If you think that Zealots Field may be a good fit for you, let us know. We encourage any interested fantasy football fan to take the time to review our Rules and to read through our Code of Conduct. After you have read these over and agree to them, feel free to submit an application below.

Although Zealot leagues are "free" leagues, there is an annual cost involved in keeping the MFL league sites and message-board up and running. Normally this works out to less than $10.00 per member. If you have any concerns over this please list them here:

Zealots Field is a year-long dynasty-league experience. Are there any possible schedule conflicts that you know of that might limit your availability from time to time (school, military, etc.)?

At Zealots, we recognize that FF is only a hobby and that other real-life obligations do (and should) come first. Do you think you'd be able to manage a healthy balance of real-life commitments as well as Zealots membership? Give us some of your thoughts on this area:

Pledges

I have read the ZFL Rulebook and agree to abide with the Code of Conduct, Rules, and Scoring System.

During drafts I will be available regularly, pre-draft, or give my picks to the commissioner or a third-party to make the selections. Unless an emergency develops I will not be responsible for holding up the draft.

I will communicate in a timely and regular manner with the commissioner and other owners in the ZFL.

I will make every effort to get my leagues dues in on time with no delays.

If you prefer, you can fill out our application in Microsoft Word format and email it to applications@zealotsfield.com.

After receiving your application, a representative from Zealots Field leadership will contact you to learn more about you. Your application will tell us a lot about you - simply having the willingness to fill it out shows us a certain level of commitment. After that, the follow-up exchanges with Zealots Field leadership will serve to further make sure that both Zealots and you think this is a good fit. There's no major initiation process, you don't need ten signed statements from friends vouching for you, and there's no written test of your fantasy football knowledge. Just an honest interest from you, a sincere desire to uphold the Zealots Code of Conduct, and some fair questions from us about your willingness to follow through on your commitments.

After we're both in agreement that Zealots is a place for you, you'll be notified of any current openings. If there aren't any, then you may be placed on our waiting list. Thank you for your interest in Zealots - we look forward to hearing from you!
