Axe Elf
Footballguy
Another message board that I frequent has been clamoring for a couple of years now to take a shot at the fantasy football legend that is Axe Elf. I generally consider them to be noobs, however, and so I haven't really thought that it would be much fun to simply fleece them to the point that they all quit halfway through the season. It would be necessary for me to take some kind of a handicap in order to make it a fair and competitive league. And so I have offered them this proposition:
I will take on 9 of their members in a league with a $20 entry fee. My handicap is that only their 9 members will participate in the draft--I will choose my 15 players from the free agents left at the conclusion of the draft.
To compensate for that handicap, I have asked for two concessions:
1) Every week from the completion of the draft throughout the season, I have the first waiver priority.
2) If I win the league, I take home the entire $200 purse; otherwise 1st gets $100, 2nd gets $60 and 3rd gets $40.
