Hey all! Just a little note. You might see the leagues are set at 14 teams. Do not fret. This is a setting we have to do until the 12th manager joins to accommodate the FBGCommish account. Excited to see you all excited!!!

Gently suggesting that everyone make their Sleeper FBG League Team name, the same as their Forum handle here at FBG's, so everyone knows who everyone is.
Example: my Sleeper handle is leavei2bvr, and that's what Sleeper initially named my FBG League Team, until I changed it to nittanylion.
That's kind of one of the main ideas of this project - community building/enhancement, is it not?

LOVE this idea @nittanylion !!!! We verified that changing your sleeper TEAM names won't effect the tracking we used for the scoreboard page that will be coming.

Excellent..someone already had the Skipdog77 handle at sleeper so I went with Skipdog7777 to try and keep it similar. Will update the team name to my board handle. Thanks!

sleeper userID, FBG id and FBG board ids all have the potential to be different.10 out of 12 have already joined in mine (0005) but I don't recognize any as Shark Pool regulars
I wonder what percentage of FBG subscribers use the boards? I'd imagine the age demographic skews, ahem, a tad grey. Youngins prefer them a discord, whatever that may be.

I did the same as soon as I logged in to my league as well.

It was like the first thing I did when I got my team. Great idea!

@Joe Bryant The business side of it is none of my business, but I would never had joined Sleeper if it wasn't for this league. I'll look around and check out their other products. Hopefully you get insight into new members due to you doing this and you reap some goodwill back from them.
Monty Burns
Footballguy
I am Monty Burns here, FBGMontyBurns as my Sleeper ID, and my team name will likely be Monty's Pythons.
Yeah, I have Yahoo and didn't receive my invite. Joe was kind enough to resend it and I still didn't get it.
Stupid Yahoo.
I am in the same boat for 0113. I don't think I recognize any of the entries but maybe they have different sleeper names than SP names.10 out of 12 have already joined in mine (0005) but I don't recognize any as Shark Pool regulars
I had to get creative as well and went with Gally4

I am in the same boat as not familiar with any in my division
But I do appreciate the "Lawyers, Guns & Money" name!!

All I know is, that between my longtime locals and all the National Contests I participate in, if I'm going to be fully amped to play in any additional Leagues, there has to something compelling that draws me in.
Directly competing with recognizable posters from these Forums is a big incentive, at least for me.
That means rather than playing against faceless born2bbad3:16, jackdupp4TDs and OhMyZachErtz, I'd be a lot more invested in taking on:
@joey , @TheWinz , or Monty's Pythons by FBGMontyBurns or Gally4, where there's a direct or indirect reference to who's who, here (Shark Pool, FFA, etc.)
With no money involved, we're pretty much playing for Board Bragging Rights, correct? Can't do that if you don't know who's in your League, can you?
@Joey Wright : Maybe the Powers That Be could also *officially* 'politely request' that everyone participating do this, for the sake of community building/enhancement?

Yes, this greatly enhances this competition for me, and hopefully for @Scoresman
(starts searching Shark Pool to find out Scoresmans preference for backup TEs)
Honestly though, it's definitely going to make this more enjoyable.
Scoresman
Footballguy
Nice! First confirmed board match in a league?
Even though we're not all in the same leagues, I would hope we could discuss our own leagues in a thread somewhere. I guess this one?
Also, the more board regulars are spread out, the more will be in the playoff pool.

Should be an easy win for you, then.10 out of 12 have already joined in mine (0005) but I don't recognize any as Shark Pool regulars

You have to give them time to slot us GOAT subscribers in the preferred position we submitted.

Never. Am just now getting used to the website. I'm old and will probably accidentally go on autodraft and end up with 6 defenses.

Division 0011. Just changed my team name to Golden Gophers.

Locked in for league 0063 with the same Atomic Punk handle. Looking forward to drafting with the forum regulars!
Add me to the list of Sleeper newbies who needs to figure out the site …

League 0091 for me. Using Ruffrodys for my team name. I'll add the "05" if necessary. Don't recognize any others yet and still waiting for the last team to register.
Quit copying my strategy. At least you aren't in my division
(I have never used Sleeper so have no idea how it works)

0009 for me

The league I’m in still has two spots open. I imagine most others do as well. They had a ton of entrants. Also, did you check your junk/spam folder? That’s where mine and some others ended up.
Instinctive

Love it. My league still has like 7 open spots lol. Didn't recognize the other names yet.
SO EXCITED Thank you Joe and Joey!!!!!
Will hope that next year the survey can tick a "do you frequent the shark pool" and do a couple all SP leagues seeing all the excitement here!

I'm wondering the same thing. I chose my draft time, but I haven't gotten a league invite email yet. I checked my spam and it's not there either.

Actually he got in and then got out....I did not notice that. Hahahha

Have all invites been sent out? From the sleeper site?

I submitted my request for the Tuesday evening draft this past Saturday evening but have not received a sleeper invite yet.
Will I mess something up if I submit the request again?

The highest number I've seen is 113 so I'm guessing there's around 120 leagues- ~1,440 participants of whom probably there's 200-400 stragglers. A bunch of them will probably get their *** in gear in the next week then it's time to consolidate and fill spots with waitlist folks. That's my guess anyway.
No. It'll be at least another week just for the first round to get invites sent.
Hey all! We are working to get this full and BIG as possible! Appreciate all your excitement and patience! We are going to have an email go out to all competitors soon and we are going to make the suggestion they either change their team name to their forum or discord ID! Love this @nittanylion
