Official Sports Betting forum Fantasy Footbal League (SBFFL): Sign up details and rules

NOTE THAT OFFICIAL DOES NOT MEAN IN ANY WAY SPONSORED OR SANCTIONED BY 2+2 just the "official" FFL organized through this, the Sports Betting forum, much in the same way the 3+1 picks challenge is not sponsored by 2+2 but is the "official" picks challenge of this forum.

We'll be drafting and playing on ESPN: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/frontpage
ESPN has changed it so that they're completely free this year, including live scoring. So that's good.

Ten to twelve players (teams) per league. We'll run as many leagues (divisions) as we had interest.

Live draft, of course.


Stakes:

Four levels:

Hall of Fame: $200
Pro Bowl: $100
Veteran: $50
Rookie: $25

100% of monies go to the prize pool

I'm willing to start an interest list for any stakes if someone wants to play higher or lower stakes. These levels are just what we played last year.

You can sign up for multiple levels but can only sign up once per level.

We'll have divisions inside each level as needed (i.e. if 24 people sign up at $200 like last year, we'll have Hall of Fame EAST and WEST).

Payout format:

40%/30%/20%/10% structure for the top four if leagues are 10-12 players.
50%/30%/20% if leagues are 8 man.

Draft Schedule:

for latest draft details, see this reply down the thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...umber=11925625

Drafts should take between one and two hours depending on how quickly everyone runs.

Sign up details:

Sign up by doing exactly the following:


1) post in this thread "i'm in for X league"

2) send me a PM (or email: SBFFL [at] performify [dot] com). I need the following info:

I need your 2+2 name, your email address, your level(s) playing, and your payment details.
Example: JoeBob sends me a PM that says "Sent $100 on Stars from "joebob123". email is joebob at hotmail.com"

3) send your payment.


Send payment before the draft, or else you will not be allowed to draft.

I must have your email address to invite you to the league.

Payment details:

Poker Site transfers: "performify" on Stars and Full Tilt. Stars is preferred.
Location will be either "Kansas City" or "Smithville" depending on the site.

Note that my screen name is performiFy: "eye FFFF why" and not "eye TEE why".
also its all lower case on Stars (the only site that caps matter AFAIK).

Paypal or Fed Ex are available as a last resort. Please PM for details.

If your pokersite name isn't exactly the same as your forum name, please include that information in the PM or email with the name of the account you'll be paying from so I can correlate the two.

=======================================
RULES (exact same as last year)
=======================================


we will go for 10 or 12 teams per league. More than 12 dilutes the pool too much, in my opinion.

Starting rosters will be 1 QB; 3 WR; 2 RB; 1 TE; 1 K; 1 DEF (team).
Teams will have 15 total players, so six bench players (any position).
No injured reserve beyond the bench.

We will use a Free Agent / Waivers system.

Regular season will run from week 1 to week 14. we'll have two playoff brackets: the top four teams (1vs4, 2vs3) for a superbowl and the next four for a toilet bowl. postseason will be week 15 and 16.

I'm officially signing up for the $200 league only, but will play in any or all of the others as necessary to balance out teams (i.e. only if there are an odd number of signups).

Also, Wednesday next week seemed like the best time for the draft with labor day and all and since the season starts on Thursday. If people want to change, we can look at changing on a league by league basis.

Right now, there are no good draft times open on ESPN -- if we go by their availability we'd have to draft during the day on the weekend or during a weekday next week, or starting at midnight eastern on Wednesday (so 9pm PST). If people want I can stack all the drafts then (like 12:00, 12:15, 12:30, 1:00 am EST on Wednesday).

I'm looking for low-cost / free alternatives.

If anyone has any suggestions on solutions for drafting please let me know.

I'm down for the rookie one, never played fantasy football before, but this should be fun.
I'm west coast so any time after 6pm (PST) on Wed will work.

Tilt. I won't spend any time on any of these leagues. Well enough to make it worthwhile, but I'll spend enough of my time to waste a gajillion hours of my time that could be spent doing actual positive EV activities rather than trading dollars back and forth between other sharps. (Like sneaking into a HSNL league or something of the sort... Or actually gambooling)

Hall of Fame. Holla!

[Caldarooni]

In for all 4 levels.

[Shantanut]

in for the $200, if anyone wants to play another $200 let me know

[Morphling29]

In for Hall of Fame, and returning champ from last years Hall of Fame East btw. "brag"

[TomCowley]

Yahoo has free ffl. I don't know anything about reserving draft times though, or if that's even necessary.

[livin_a_lie]

Pro Bowl league signer upper!

I will also do a 50 or 25 dollar league if teams need to be filled.
