The Footballguys Bowl! - Was "Interest In A Footballguys Subscriber League?" (13 Viewers)

[BassNBrew]

Waiting for a refresh, but had a really good week.

 

[BassNBrew]

Finish 6th. Hopefully Joey sends me a beer mug or BEJ T-shirt from Joe's stash. My league mate Bottleknockers finished 16th.

 

[BassNBrew]

Was perfect on the lineup this week, but found 3 bad start/sit calls that showed a path to the title. Of course there are several people who could say that.

All in all, a good year for the ADP Sheriff.

Thanks for putting this contest out there, Joe & Staff. Had a blast.

Congratulations to Huskers707195.

It'll be great to see how this evolves for the 2025 season and beyond. Happy & Healthy New Year to everyone reading this thread, and all those you hold close.

Finished 65th, my league mate finished 11th. Enjoyed the ride this year!

I finished 3rd. Had I not benched Nabors for Jennings, i would have won it. The toe thing scared me off.

Never bench your studs
Dance with the girl that brought you
Blah blah blah

Congrats to Tom Gardner, our Inaugural Footballguys Bowl Champion!!!

It was a great opportunity and a nice little feather in the cap to be a division winner and making it past a cut or two in the elimination rounds. Overall pretty happy with the outcome.

How many other sharks won their division?

Ouch. That's a bad beat.

I finished 4th in my division, but had enough points to earn a wildcard slot. My team put up great numbers in the playoffs to finish 29th overall. To say I'm pleasantly surprised at my final result is an understatement.

Happy New Year, everyone.

2nd in division 0083 but got bounced in the first week of the playoffs.

 

[Dacomish]

I finished 3rd in my div, but made the cut and only 2 of us finished top 100 from 0067.

I know I am way early here, but just wanted to put a bug in your ear. Joey - thanx a ton for running this thing. You did awesome and it was fun playing against other FBG'ers. Sadly, I didn't end up in a league with any Shark Pool regular that I noticed, but still represented and made the playoffs! If this league will have a 2nd season, perhaps you can reserve the first, say 9 divisions for Shark Pool regulars/staff members, but only if they want to be slotted into them? Looking through this entire thread, only 79 folks posted anything before the drafts were complete, and another 24 chimed in midseason. We had 156 divisions last year (1872 entries total), but would it be hard to set aside 9 divisions for Shark Pool regulars in 2025? That would be 108 slots, and you'd be sure to recognize multiple regulars from the pool.

If this is something you could support, I would be glad to offer my assistance.

Thanks GB. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s something we had wanted to do for a while and I was super glad Joey and the team were able to make it happen. Joey is already actively working on it now and we’re building better systems to organize and place teams. I'm not sure we can do that exactly for the Shark Pool but we'll look. I can see how that would be fun. (And the toughest leagues in the whole contest!)

As we get deeper into this, let us look and see what we need there and if we need to add volunteers, we’ll let folks know. Thank you!

Early "in!" from me. I was late to the show last year, but would love to get in this year.

The good news is @TheWinz we are already doing exactly that for 2025! We are building a system where managers will be able to select their draft time and league. We still need to test out the system but there will be Shark Pool dedicated leagues for 2025 in the FBG Bowl.

A few of us got into a SharkPool-only league last year (“League Uno” thread in the SharkPool) and it was a total blast to compete again people you “know”. It didn’t hurt that I was one of 4 (I think) Raiders fans in that league, so our names were all familiar to each other from the raiders thread. Big

 

[Ruffrodys05]

IN - for the FBG message board member leagues. @Joey Wright probably already has this info in his notes from the conclusion of last years contest.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

if we're submitting our wish to compete in FBG msg board league - I'd do that!

 

[candian fantasy guy]

Please no open WW this year!

Thank you

 

[Scoresman]

In for a board league!!

 

[Gatorade]

Loved it last year
In again

I'm interested in how this will work. How do you let someone into a Shark Pool dedicated league? Is it by post count? Recognizable names? I don't know how to answer any of these questions and definitely don't know how to answer them without sounding elitist or "cliquey".

But that said, I'm all for it!

From following along, I can concur that it was a blast. Also of note, it was pretty soft compared to the random FBG Bowl league.

What the ?!?!!!??

 

[Joey Wright]

I'm interested in how this will work.

@Scoresman So I am still currently testing it with our developer. If we proceed with their portal (which has not completely been agreed upon yet), you will choose your desired Shark Pool dedicated league from a dropdown menu. It'll say something like "FBG Bowl League #004 (Shark Pool Only)" The goal for 2025 is not to be manually sending you your invites and allow you to pick your own leagues based on draft time. You'll select the league you desire and the portal will immediately send you your league invite link.
