Applied early while waiting for the wife on the Hobby Lobby parking lot. Hobbies for you and for me.

 

[Skipdog77]

I've never been more excited to be waitlisted for something!

 

[Joe Bryant]

346 signups in the first 20 minutes. I guess there's some interest.

 

[bro1ncos]

Yes again

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

Nice work Joe, I’m in as well.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

In!

This is a great idea. I feel I know a ton of you from always reading, everything. Be cool to compete. The Shark Pool is the best in the business and FBG subscribers and staff are the anchor.

In, just a question anyone else having trouble downloading sleeper? Link to download seems to be dead...

It's been working great for me all day. Not sure if others are having any trouble.

Reminds me of college acceptance days…

 

[TheWinz]

I want in! I even downloaded this Sleeper thingy. I'd be honored to lose to a bunch of FBG diehards.

 

[jm192]

In!

 

[joey]

In but didn’t see the Waitlist email til 6pm-ish PDT. Hope I make the cut.

Do I earn points for already having a league hosted in Sleeper?

Looking forward to this.

How are the numbers so far, @Joe Bryant ?

 

[Mitchie]

Finally something for those of us who suck at the 20k contest!

 

[Joe Bryant]

1,400+ on first day

 

[2Young2BBald]

Love this!!

2400 means creating 200 leagues! Sheesh. Plan on capping it?

Yes. We'll have to cap at some point as the leagues have to be created manually. Trying to set a budget there for what we can spend and manage.

Would LOVE to be in if you can swing all of us Day one's.

Late to the party, but now on the waitlist!

 

[greenmountaingoat]

I took a few days off- I signed up. Joe, I checked the box for "current non premium" but as I said, I'll spring for a membership if I'm in.

This will be my only new league this year, hoping to land with some of the other folks I interact with here. We'll see I guess!

 

[Instinctive]

loooooooove this

 

[Payne]

Crap, just saw this and stupid work blocking the link!

 

[Joe Bryant]

You can sign up tonight.

I feel your pain. I saw the original post and was the 2nd to reply, but when the sign up period started, I was at work. I couldn't apply until like 8 hours later. If I didn't make the cut this year, there's always next.

 

[Dacomish]

@Joe Bryant just curious how many in the waitlist now?

I think about 2,000.

That's 167 leagues to manually invite people to. Sounds like FBG is going to start outsourcing some labor to India or something.

Interested to hear how many are on the waitlist now that entries are closed and also how FBG will determine who makes the cut. I can't imagine having to manually set up enough leagues for everyone. You'd think with all the business they'll be getting, Sleeper could help automate it.

 

[Scoresman]

Also, it would be extremely cool to get board regulars into similar leagues, although the logistics of that may be unrealistic.

This. A board regulars group of leagues would be awesome! Not sure how you'd coordinate board userID with FBG userID, but I hope it can be done!

Equally as cool is if us regulars are scattered across leagues and we have a ton of us all make the playoffs.

I agree that would be fun. I think though for this year, we likely won't be able to sort like that. But that's definitely the direction I'd like to head for the future. I can see even more ways to sort like geography and maybe even some organizing into an in person draft and such.

But walking before we run and thinking this year, probably not possible.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Also, I'll let you know here but getting close to sending an email to all the people on the waitlist so they can pick their draft day/times.
