ETA 2025 -

Welcome back for the second season of FootballGuys Home Leagues! This league has been renewed, and you all have the first option of joining again before we open it up in the forum to fill the extra space. If you want to rejoin, please [check your email to] pay into the LeagueSafe league before August 8th. After August 8th, we will work on filling any open spots and then the league will begin drafting on August 11th at 10:00 AM ET.

Same draft settings as last year (4 hour pick clock slow draft). The two big changes this year are no divisions and overnight waivers instead of midday.

Let's start an FBG home league with 12 actual Sharkpoolers, rather than randoms. Once we get 12 to commit on this thread, we can set a time to get together online and collectively bombard a single $50 FBG home league, #TBD. And going forward this can serve as the official SP thread for the league...

Crap. I said that I can’t do another league this year but would so love to join with SharkPoolers.

Call me first alternate in case you can’t get 11 more to sign up.

Signed,

Not sure what you mean about "Randoms". I'm appreciative of everyone who joins a Footballguys Home League.

If we wanted to do a league of people from the Shark Pool, that would be great.

@Chaka ,

Main key is we all need to register for and fill the league at the same time (or close enough), so that other random peeps don't join the league once we've starting doing so.

Man. It's been decades since I did a slow draft like this. Kinda nice. Although my average draft time will be under 5 minutes. Ha ha

Just looked up the official rules. Looks like we'd have until Aug 31 for four hours per pick; then it goes to one hour per pick... But I agree - I suspect most picks will take A LOT less than 4 hours. :)

B. Slow Draft Rules
  1. Timer: 4 hours per pick
  2. Overnight Pause from 10pm ET to 10am ET
  3. For leagues still drafting as the NFL season nears, the draft clock may be adjusted to a shorter time to accommodate all draft picks. We will communicate any draft clock changes within the Sleeper chat.
    1. For the 2024 draft season the draft clocks will be adjusted on the following dates:
      1. On August 31 at 10am ET, any "still drafting" slow drafts will have their clock change to 1 hour per pick
      2. On September 4 at 10am ET, any "still drafting" slow drafts will have their clock change to 1 minute per pick

I’m not a huge contributor to the Shark pool—but I’d be down to join a $50 league if you guys have room and need another owner. Full disclosure—I don’t have an FBG membership—so I’m not sure if that rules me out.
 
Thanks y'all. Yes, FBG Home Leagues DO allow trades. https://www.footballguys.com/contests/fbg-home-leagues

The FBG Bowl with it being a mega tournament does not allow trades.

There is some risk of course for collusion happening with Trades in the FBG Home Leagues but those are actively commissioned by the LeagueSafe folks and they've run those leagues for a while and have good systems in place.

And for the FBG Home Leagues product, we felt trades have such value that it was worth risking the possible downside.

So trades ARE allowed in FBG Home Leagues.
 
@fbghomeleagues just told me in the main Home Leagues thread that he CAN spin up a league that we can all join directly.

I’m at-ing him in this thread since I expect we’ll all want to see the questions and answers in one place.

So, @fbghomeleagues asked: what price point?

I believe we’re talking $50. right?

But my question to @fbghomeleagues is if we can still set it up as a Slow Draft, even if the timer is just 1 hour per pick. I think a live draft might rule some of us out at this late date (speaking for myself at least). What options do we have here?

Thanks so much!
 
Hey all!

We figured out how to "hide" leagues from the main lobby so now we can make this work.

We can set it up for whatever draft time you all want. FBG Home Leagues have been 4 hour clocks, plus a couple live ones that we added today. If you want to do 1 hour clock, we can do that! Sleeper gives 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours. And then slower times and faster times too.

Let me know and I will spin it up in the morning!
 
Jmo, but organizing a live draft while doable seems to come with some extra planning and effort and I will be traveling a bit between now and the opener. I can make arrangements and sleeper's phone app is awesome, but I prefer a slow draft. 4 hours to start, reduced to 1 hour on the 31st if we're putzing around too much works for me.
 
$50.
Slow draft for sure. Like the idea of 4 hours to start them reduce to 1 hour after X rounds if needed. Really depends on when the slow draft actually begins.
