Safe and Secure Paid 12 Team Leagues by Footballguys and League Safe - Was "Interest in Footballguys Home Leagues?" (1 Viewer)

We should try and coordinate getting some leagues with people here. And I can throw a bonus in to the winner.
 
I know not everyone likes slow drafts, so if we could coordinate a time and league #, maybe message board people could try to just knock out the draft on Sleeper at a set time?

Anyway I'm in.
 
MoP is IN IN IN IN IN IN...how many can we sign up for?
IN IN IN IN IN IN IN IN IN
How did I not see this thread by abut the 3rd or 4th post?
IN IN IN IN IN IN IN IN

I don't even know all the rules but the basics sure look good
I know there are folks here I would love to compete against in Redraft and hopefully vice versa

Can I get a Ric Flair "WOOOOO!"


Great idea and I want to support/be a part of this
I feel for those that have watched their long time leagues finally fold, we have had to move past a couple passing away in recent years, it's not easy
 
Looking for a live in person draft in Kentucky, Tennessee or ohio

This first year we will not have in person drafts. But that's absolutley a goal for the future. That becomes a different situation though in logistics and renting space and such. But that's a goal.

For the best in person draft I know of in that area, you'll want https://www.sbffc.com/

I'm going to be drafting there this year.
That's great that in person drafts are the goal. I just moved to Phoenix and I would love to draft with local FBGs in the near future :-)
 
SHGN pays for licensing and registration in nearly all states that allow fantasy sports to be played. Due to this, there are only a few states where fantasy sports are banned: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Vermont and Washington, and in the province of Ontario, CA. We are legal in all other states and Canadian provinces. Unfortunately FBGL, like all season long fantasy contest operators, isn’t legal outside of US/Canada.

But you're right, I'll ask them to spell out Canada so it's more clear.

Love that idea. Been a member since 2003 and it's been fun to watch the growth of the site over the years. I'm in as its the least I can do for the good advice and championships over the years.
 
Any board regulars interested in a league?

If you guys want to organize one or two of these, I'll throw in a Free Hall Of Fame Footballguys subscription to the winner.

There isn't a way to specifically request a league with people you know. But the way to do it would be pick a league in the lobby and have everyone sign up as close to the same time as possible.
 
@barackdhouse , are you referring to Home League, or a Subscriber League (my guess is Subscriber, given that it's #0088).

https://forums.footballguys.com/threads/interest-in-a-footballguys-subscriber-league.812791/ - Subscriber League Thread.

Leagues are full when 12 Managers have checked in and confirmed, but there is an extra slot in each League for 'Users Without Roster' FBGCommish, so 12 Users/Managers and 1 User/FBG Commish = 13 Users for each 12-Team League (if that's what you're asking about). It can give the appearance of a spot open, when there isn't. My apologies if it's not.

It might also mean that a User has been assigned to your League, but has not responded/checked in/confirmed at Sleeper, so it's full on one end, but not on the other.

Email fbgcommish@footballguys.com has been suggested as the best way to address questions about individual Leagues. HTH!

now I'm not sure - I thought this was all home league stuff thru FBG. I'm not clear on what the subscriber league thing is aside from the yearly contest. so I want to say I'm talking about the FBG home leagues, but now I'm thoroughly confused and am happy to just wait until it starts rolling.

In Sleeper it does say one user without roster as FBGCommish but then there are still only 11 regular owners listed and spot 12 is open.
 
Everyone or most everyone from here has been in a zillion leagues and we'd all pretty much know. It would take a pretty big fool to try and "get one past" a group from this board and I highly doubt anyone would do it.
do not underestimate my ability to be incompetent!

I changed the title of this thread to be more clear.

This is for Footballguys Home Leagues. That's where we're working with our friends at LeagueSafe to host 12 team leagues with paid entry fees of $50, $100 or $200.

If you have any trouble there, please email customerservice@leaguesafe.com and they can help.

The Footballguys Bowl is a free mega tournament that is for a couple thousand of our Footballguys Premium Subscribers. It's organized into 12 team leagues that will play through the season and all then we'll have one big playoff. We're talking about it here https://forums.footballguys.com/thr...lguys-subscriber-league.812791/#post-24962112

If you have trouble with Footballguys Bowl, you can email fbgcommish@footballguys.com
 
I know @LawFitz and others had asked about joining a league together.

This is what the SafeLeagues people said:

Regarding all joining a league, they for sure can. Do you know what price point they would be interested in? The easiest way would be to just pick a draft that has no one in it in the FBG Home Leagues lobby. Since the lobby pulls directly from LeagueSafe when we create a new league there, I don't believe there is a way to create a league just for the Forums and avoid opening it to the public. We could name it differently but that wouldn't fully prevent others from joining.
 
Does LeagueSafe report payouts to the IRS? Couldn't find a super accurate answer on that.

Also, anyway to see who we'd be playing with? I'm in with LawFitz, it would be cool to ensure I was in with a bunch of the regular posters here.

And would there be any way to do away with team defense from the league if all league members agreed on it. The settings all look pretty great, but man do I hate the luck and volatility of team defense mucking up the scores every week haha.

It's my understanding LeagueSafe reports everything as they're required to by law for all IRS things. Partnering with a company and people I trust like that was important.

For playing together, you just need to join a league at the same time as it fills up.

There isn't a way to change the scoring settings. I know everyone has opinions on what's best but we felt this was the best all inclusive way. New kickoff rules are going to bring an extra level of fun and strategy there as some teams will likely adapt better than others.

Hope you'll join us. Have fun. I know @Deamon is planning to join. Maybe you can be in that league.
