In 2008 KSL made the decision to move to MFL in order to accommodate the growth of KSL. Five new teams joined the fray: Jon Occhi, Ty Boardman, Andy McConnell, Travis Peterson and Ryan Skender. With 16 owners, KSL moved to a 2 conference system that allowed for players to be owned in the other conferences. This was a unique way of doing Fantasy Football and it was somewhat popular for the time being. Within each conference we had 2 divisions. The divisional winner received a first round bye which proved to be very crucial in making it to the Matchett Cup finals. The playoff system was revamped as well. KSL reflected an NFL style of the playoffs by having the top 2 teams in each conference get a first round bye. The playoffs for 2008, 2009 were 4 weeks long as opposed to 3 weeks in Yahoo.

Legacy

The move to MFL saw some pros and cons. The downside with the move was the cost. Yahoo was expensive and MFL was only a little more so we decided to make the jump. Another issue was MFLs stat tracker. It was really bad and many people hated having to use it. The positive side to the switch was learning about new ways to play Fantasy Football. One of the most popular ways was Survival. We also saw League Pickems become popular which wouldn't make its debut in Yahoo until the 2012 season.
