0.0015BTC is fine with me, that's reasonable amount to lose, lol.  I don't mind providing escrow if there are no objections, happy to help.

Live drafts are always fun, but I know we're scattered across the globe so it might not be practical.  If we were to take a vote I'll vote for a live draft.

I think you inadvertently increased the buy-in by a factor ten.

Dang it, yes I did. Bitcoin is too damn expensive, can't keep up with the zeros. Anyway, I'm fine with the 0.0015 BTC.

I also signed up with espn, played fantasy football last year with nfl.com and yahoo but i'm sure espn is just as good.

- 1.5mbtc entry fee is fine by me (or anything up to $100 in BTC)
- draft date/time, i have a pretty flexible schedule, i'll make sure to be at the draft. A snake live draft a week/few days before the start of the season is optimal.

@South Park, hit me up with that invite link, thanks!  Smiley

I've signed up with ESPN and I believe I'm all caught up with this thread. Is everyone on board with the 0.015 BTC buy in? I'm fine with it and I would suggest DireWolfM14 as escrow, if he agrees of course.

We're not all rockstar rich like you suchmoon.

I like the number 0.0015 because it lends to a round payout figure, and its also the maximum I'm willing to put down. There's still a loooong way to go between now and Week 1 so we have plenty of time to come up with a number.

The price of BTC may change a lot between now and then though... What does everyone else think?

I sent DireWolfM14 the invite link and they have joined the league so we are half way there already.

Nice, I will update the list. Would have been a bonehead move to forget the thread creator. And I believe we are tentatively full.

Have those users on green color shown interest on joining the league? If so I could send them the invite link.

Yes, please do. I forgot to mention that part.

As far as a buy-in goes, I think something between 0.001 ($32.75) and 0.0015 ($49.15) would be good. If we did 0.0015 then the winner could get 0.01 and the runner-up 0.002 (minus tx fees). I also don't want to exclude anyone so 0.001 is fine... If its zero then peeps might not care as much and give up, which makes it less fun for everyone else. But if it means we lose a lot of people then free it is.
That is fine to me.



How much to join ....
See the post of nutildah above.


...when will the league begin?
The league is already underway, we need to decide on several things but the most important are the buy in, if any, and when and how the draft will be performed, right now there is no date for the draft but there are two live draft options and autopick option and the possibility to do the draft outside the platform and just submit the results, the default option is a snake live draft in which the order of the draft is reversed each round and you have 90 seconds to make your pick, if this is the format we follow I will recommend people to use the mock draft lobby so they can familiarize themselves with the process.

For those interested PM for the invite link.

Thanks for taking the initiative.  That saves at least half a page of us trying to out-polite each other.  Count me in, unless nutildah says otherwise.  Cheesy  Wink

I selected the Non-PPR scoring as that seemed to be a point of contention for some possible participants one year ago

I'm good either way.  As long as people understand the difference it all the same to me.

I'm also pretty open for what people want to do for a prize, or not.

I'm fine playing for fun, but a small pool would add a little bit of excitement.

How much to join and and when will the league begin? If it is cheap I will certainly join. I know I am very sure to lose hehe. I am only a casual fan who has only recently tried to follow the sport more closely.

OK I have sent the invite link to Hueristic and nutildah already, lets see if everything is working correctly and they can join the league, I hope we can at least get to 8 members so we can have some additional fun during this season, also it seems I can name another member of the league as a League Manager  and we could manage the league together so if anyone would like the spot just let me know.

While most likely I am not the best for the job I took the liberty to create a fantasy league on ESPN.

Everything can be changed but tentatively there is a limit of 8 teams, it can be increased if needed, and I selected the Non-PPR scoring as that seemed to be a point of contention for some possible participants one year ago, everything else has been left at the default settings which is I think common practice, but if someone wants a change on some setting we can talk about it here with the community.

Count me in. Smiley



The most important points to discuss now are whether this will be just for fun and bragging rights or will we make a small betting pool as well? If it is the latter then we need to get a trusted escrow, second we need to decide on the date, hour and the way the draft will be conducted, I know this is going to be difficult taking into account that we live on different countries but we will have to find a way to make it work.

For those interested PM for the invite link.

Whatever everyone wants afa as this goes is good with me.

Sure, consider me interested and thanks for taking the initiative. I'm not picky about the exact specifications... perhaps we just leave everything as default as possible in the interest of remaining neutral. I'm also pretty open for what people want to do for a prize, or not.

I remembered why I didn't want to play last year:

i'm in, if you guys will have me. i'm pretty flexible re live draft and also fine with an auto draft.

I'm down for a fantasy league this year, count me in.

Yeah, pre-season is just a couple of months away, but it still seems like an eternity.  Lucky for me I do appreciate soccer.  Right after the NFL is over the English Premier League is in the final third of it's season, then America's MLS starts before the EPL ends.  It's not the same at all, though.  Football is literally an addiction for me.  I suffer withdrawals and depression when the season ends.  No joke.

I'll leave you with this:

Quote from: Steve Sabol
The Autumn Wind is a pirate.
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.

His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.

He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.

The Autumn Wind is a Raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.

Yesterday
football season seemed so far away
Now it looks as if its the same way
Can't believe football's still far away.

Don't want to hear about alternate leagues or other sports. If its not NFL, its trash. That's my new hot take. Except for some heavyweight division boxing and MMA competitions, those are a-ight. Sometimes.

...

Should we attempt to do a Forum Fantasy League this year? We can make it a whole thing. I think someone was running one last year in this section... but they probably wouldn't mind if we did one as well.

Tebow is only a story because...I don't know why lol.  People are fascinated with him.  He is a sub par professional athlete who was good in college.  Linebackers aren't going to have an issue covering Timmy.  He never played a snap of tight end in college, he must have some juice on urban lol.

However, it appears that the Jaguars is preparing a year of big profit after a bad season during the corona virus. They have Trevor Lawrence no.1 pick, Travis Etienne might be rookie of the year and Tim Tebow an asset to attract fans. This makes me support Jacksonville to reach the playoff hehehe.

Odds for Travis Etienne to be rookie of the year is 27.00 and Jaguars to reach playoff is 4.00 hehe.
