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

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

This is a deal breaker for me. Maybe next year they can set up a way to lock up particular leagues for Sharkpoolers only. E.g. using a special code or something simple like that in order to enter. Your current solution doesn't work. Too many randoms will join if we are talking about the generic leagues on their broader site.
 
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.

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.
Yeah I just didn't know the exact requirements for the reporting. I know typically there are certain dollar amounts that serve as thresholds for internal reporting, but it gets so convuluted. Even within casino gambling, numbers differ from slots to table games to bingo. Gets crazy. Appreciate you helping put this together!

For contest leagues using LeagueSafe (such as FBG Home Leagues, or SafeLeagues), over $599 net receives a 1099, yes.

For real, though…it would be great if for next year FBG/LeagueSafe/Sleeper can figure out a way to create a new league and simply NOT post it on the list of avaiable leagues to join, and then we can coordinate 12 owners from the message board to join it.
I don’t care if it happens this year since I’m a bit oversubscribed right now but for next year I’m hoping this isn’t too high a bar to get over since I imagine we could get at least one, if not more, “board regulars” leagues formed.

🤞

Ya I think there are a lot more subscribers than we think, that aren't on the boards (For example, I think in the subscriber contest only like 1% of entries were in that message board thread).

I guess it depends if you care about playing with guys in here or not. I don't overly care, but it could be a lot more fun for sure. Also though, a lot of us talk on here about who we like, who we don't, etc... so there's a lot of intel into who will be picking who if we are ONLY using people from these boards.

I think a good way would be to post what league you're in here and people could join it if they want to play against you? You can also pick a league that hasn't even started to fill yet (say... FBG League #9) and we could put that in the thread like "everyone in here who wants to join, join #9"
 
That's an invite link to League 13 - $50

It filled Saturday night, fell off the available leagues board but didn't get the teams loaded to start the draft so some folks dropped out. Pff. It is closer to starting than any league on the board. Has 9 entrants so needs 3. Join and watch how early I pick my D and K.

Currently the closest to starting on the board only has 2 teams paid.


@Chaos34 - all spots in $50 league 13 are paid for, and users are joining (one just did a couple minutes ago). Please do not post the Sleeper join link as then people will take spots of those that paid for them and we are working on getting into the league.

I appreciate you trying to get the league up and running, but we need to give those that made payments a chance to join (and then can refund/remove if they do not join in a timely manner)

Understood. I feel lost without a slow draft in progress. Apologies. :)

I deleted the link, maybe you should from the quote?
 
We just added a few live drafts to the site for next week!

Hey There,

We have another thread by @LawFitz in the SharkPool about wrangling 12 SharkPool members for a $50 Home League.

Any chance you’ve implemented a way for us to get a league created that’s “private” (ie. Doesn’t get posted on the public league board)?

Earlier posts indicated this might be coming but not sure if that’s a next year or this year thing.

Thanks!

It seems like the slow drafts are done, we might have to do a live draft which limits some of those signed up. I think if we all just pick a time to sign up for a league then we could fill it with just us.

Fingers crossed
 
@fbghomeleagues Any chance we can get confirmation on league #3? I paid the $200 buy in and it has disappeared off of the main page. So I'm assuming it is filled but I have not received any email or sleeper notification that we are starting tomorrow morning. Please let me know, thanks!

Check LeagueSafe for a link/invitation to join. I missed it the first time and was wondering whattup. By the time I saw it 10 others had already joined.

I already paid the buy in but I see no link on leaguesafe and no email and my sleeper app isn't showing the league either

At LeagueSafe go to My Leagues. The league you paid for should be on your list. Click on it. The link will be on that page and on pc the link is cut and paste.

Yes, I believe we figured out how to do this. If there is enough interest, I will get one spun up in the morning! Price point?

Let me “at” you in the other thread, where LawFitz is rallying the troops, so we can get questions answered there, if that’s ok.
Hope so. Doing that now. :)
