Live draft would be all of us involved drafting players (obviously) but how is it decided who gets first pick, etc.?

Randomly. With Yahoo, you hit a button and the people are randomly put in order. The draft then proceeds like this...

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

So the person who gets the 10th pick goes twice in a row. Its not neccessarily a bad thing to not get first pick because 1st pick has to wait quite awhile until they can pick again!

Whats the difference between head to head and the other thing?

Head to Head pits two teams against each other each week. They get 1 point for each stat category they win. The team that is winning the most categories at the end of the week wins that week. Rotisserie style you get points for how high you rank among the other teams in your league so if you have the most home runs in a 10 team league you get 10 points. There is no head to head competition each week, its more about trying to be on top at the end.

How much does this cost?

In most cases free. The only way it would cost us anything would be if we decided to play for cash. Everyone would pay for a team and the winners split the pot, usually you would have first place get most of the cash and 2nd and 3rd get smaller shares.

Besides the draft, how often do we all need to be online at the same time?

Never again after that. If you want to propose trades you can do so via email or IM or if you want you can exchange phone numbers.
