Well, here is my first thought! Since the SBFFL is a homespun effort, I would suggest, like I have done for the GBRFL and CBFL, just taking the one afternoon or so that it would take to make a spreadsheet that calculates scores for your exact system. Fringe benefit, this allows you guys to tweak things in any way you want whenever you want. It puts the ball totally in your court, making the SBFFL much more self-sufficient, and yet it requires just a little extra effort. As for the stats to fill in these spreadsheet programs, I have used the "Raw Stats" service at the following site for four full seasons now and am very pleased:
TQStats.com.
The raw stats can be customized exactly to your spreadsheet, and it costs a lousy $50 per season.
To see how this manifests, visit the GBRFL and/or CBFL "Results" pages and download a spreadsheet:
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/gbrfl/results.htm;
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cbfl/results.htm.
Now, I also think that TQStats will "process" the stats according to your league's scoring system for you (but I am sure, like most other services, there are limitations, which would probably not allow the inclusion of any quirky, unique scoring rules you might have, which is the case with the GBRFL). I think that service runs $99 per season. I have never used it, so I cannot say anything more.
I can give you further help if you need it!  You know the deal, PA... general quick question, ask me here... "tede," preferably by horn.
I am sure on this thread you will hear about all the usual options. But, in all sincerity, I think people's doing it on their own adds so much more to the hobby! It is just more unique, "creative energy" going into things vis-a-vis more reliance on "cookie-cutter" sites, which do limit your options and, thus, your "frame of mind". Run those stats on your own and the sky is the limit for your scoring system. You (realize you) can do anything you want, and you just won't be "boxed in," stuck thinking "in the box" only, "the box" being the typical, commonplace, unoriginal scoring systems that are used in 99 out of 100 leagues today (usually by way of a commissioner.com). After making your spreadsheet, and freeing yourself from "the box," you will see ALL the possibilities both in and "outside the box."

Thanks for the support, ZAGS! It really is the way to go!
BUT, as for the stats, you are going to have to pay someone for that unless you guys want (someone) to be inputtin' them yourselves (himself). I have been there back in the day! It is VERY time-consuming! You at least want to be cutting-and-pasting, and preferably you want to have it set up to insert the stats automatically, something I am finally going to be implementing this upcoming season because our esteemed member bgsgfan gave me some assistance... I honestly did not know how to make it do that. Heretofore, I was just "cutting and pasting," which wasn't too bad, took me about three hours per week to run the stats for the two leagues I run.

I agree with the Wave! If we can find a good site for $50 (I have already found some!) we should do it. Thanks again for all of your help guys!
