Just wondering how many of you play in multiple leagues.
How many leagues do you play in?
How many is too many?
This year i will be playing in 5 leagues, 3 competitive, 2 just for fun. I think I am at the tipping point for myself. At least they are all on Yahoo so checking in will be much easier than going to several different websites.
I like to be in 2 leagues max. That way, you can devote all your attention to all your leagues instead of having like "4 main leagues and 6 fun leagues." Also, if you are in too many leagues, you will always have a conflict of interest with your players (i.e. you own A-rod in one h2h league, but you are playing against him in your other 15 leagues).
Ideally 1 league a year is what I look for...but its hard to do. I'm fine with 2 leagues max but since getting into the H2HWS that adds 2 more leagues to my list. I'm in 4 this year and not excited about that really.
In an ideal world I would be in 1 league but I'm fine with 2. More than that and I hate myself!
The most I've ever done is 7, and it spread me entirely too thin and my teams suffered because of it. I scaled it down to 4 last year, which was more manageable, and am at 4 again this year.
I'm in 3. Which at this stage of the season seems pretty good. 2 of them are ongoing dynasties. I was in 6 one year and it was too confusing and time consuming. Last year was just the two dynasties which wasn't quite enough.

The most I had done was 9 a couple of years back, but scaled it down to 7 last year. I found myself busier in the Spring/Summer than I could've imagined and couldn't keep up with the treadmill completely. I'm content with 5 leagues now (could be open to 1 more). One of them is a weekly transaction NL Only roto and so I could have a breather from checking up on the league every now and then.
