I'm in as well.
I vote for Wolfie Minbad.Who's holding the money?
I am comfortable with:1. Shickwell holding the money2. If he doesn't want to, then TenTimes.3. If they don't want to, then me.4. If we are putting a guy with 12 alias' in charge of the money who was also one of the last ones into the league... then I'm out. Let Jot sit in my place.I vote for Wolfie Minbad.
I don't care as long as it isn't that Noodle limey.Don't let the door hit you in the zilla on the way out.I am comfortable with:1. Shickwell holding the money2.

I thought it was ShickmaX!BTW - is it Shickwell or Chemwell?
I thought it was chinzilla. :rotflmao: :classic:I thought it was ShickmaX!
Agree it's a great idea.I do, however, think that thejag raises a legitimate concern, that I hope the FBG top brass does not take too lightly. I come to this board for unbiased, solid advice. Anytime you bring $$$$ into play, I am not sure how "open" fellow FBG'ers will be in discussing players, strategies, etc.If you go for it, I am obviously in, and will support your efforts in any way that a fellow FBG'er like myself can. Just recognize that one of the reasons your site is the best is because of this message board.Great Idea! One thing that may happen is that these boards become more of a forum for disinformation, people posting opinions they don't believe to 'throw off' anyone in their league who may be reading. This would really diminish the quality of information and discourse on these boards.
You've already got my $20, what's another $50 for a chance at potentially $60,000. I'm in!I need to know if there would be any interest in this at all. Personally I love the concept and have always wanted a fair contest like this that gives back a high percentage of the money, but would like to hear from others that enter contests, leagues, etc.
i'm not exactly sure either. is it survivor weeks 1-9 and then heads up weeks 10-16?something is wrong with me this morning and i can't comprehend this.but i'm in regardless.Two questions:Any possibility of lowering the entrance fee? $50 is a little steep for me.Can you explain more about how the "NCAA bracket" comes into play? I don't understand this piece of the puzzle. Thanks.

No...I set on admineristing multiple #### whoopings this year.98% sure I'm in.Hey Dodds, Can we just put the S2 guys in the one league and take our guys for it. If they're interested, of course...gator
I thought that's what you meant. I love this idea even more now that this is confirmed. Draft and forget! I've got enough leagues that I can screw up on my own by picking the wrong starter week to week.Best starter refers to the highest points from the multiples at that position. Say you have 3 QBs on your roster. Whoever scored the most points at QB for you on a given week would be your starter. Top 2 RBs would count. Top 3WRs, etc.
No one can select the division they are in. They will select a time group and be placed in a draft.All drafts will be reviewed before being final. Should a draft look like collusion, it may be deemed void and monies returned to all participants in that draft.I actually think collusion would be pretty dificult to do with this type of setup. Assume we do fill 200 leagues (2400 people). Each of the 16 time slots would then have approximately 150 people. It would take a lot of entries to ensure a lot of them get in one league. And then the collusion would have to not be obvious enough that the whole league doesn't get thrown out. We will do everything we can to ensure the integrity here. If people have other ideas, let us know. Additionally draft order will be random. So if 1 team is purposely tanking the draft then everyone else will just benefit - not just the person he is attempting to collude with. We potentially may use less than 16 draft times too, but that was our early thoughts to provide the widest possible coverage for those two days.Also, how are you going to prevent the possibility of 12 teams from a league conspiring to overload 1 (or 2 or 3) teams in that division with all the talent and give them the best chance for money?
I am starting to think that too and will probably adopt that (even though that is more work on our end).I think seeding should be based on average weekly score and not solely on week 10. There's too much fluctuation week to week, and using only one week's scores seems arbitrary especially with so much potential cash on the line.
I was referring to collusion after people found out who was in their division, not guys trying to get in the same division. Sounds good if you are going to review the drafts afterwards.I actually think collusion would be pretty dificult to do with this type of setup. Assume we do fill 200 leagues (2400 people).

Everyone will be just told their league to go draft at a set time. These will be individual emails sent out to people stating their league number and their login info for their team. We will not post who is in what league until we have ensured the draft was ratifified as being acceptable.Hope that helps.I was referring to collusion after people found out who was in their division, not guys trying to get in the same division.
So if I can't make those two days, but really want to be involved, can I pay and skip the draft and just take my picks in the Top 250? Or is this a case where asking forgiveness is better than asking permission?- If someone pays and they do not show up for a draft, a program with the Top 250 players will select your team.
