Due to some family business I won’t be able to do the weekly grind of the D3FHL, but if someone wants to pick up the weekly duties I will gladly set up the program, draft, schedule, webpage ect and show you how to do the points for the week. Mind you it takes a good hour Sunday night/Monday morning each week. We won't go any farther until we find someone(s) to due the weekly points. But for those new, and or those needing a reminder, these were the last set of rules we used (with the dates changed).
