lanikai Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Fantasy League ?? We all know our enthusiasm for sports .. Weather it be Futbol.. NFL ... NHL... Baseball ...NBA I'm just thinking out loud.. would a "Fantasy League" Work with our Community ?? A lot of you probably belong to various Fantasy leagues already.. I have never participated in one myself .. so I am a total NOOB in this area.. but I think it has it's interests..and forming a League here could be fun ?? maybe the Admin team can give us a "Fantasy League Section" ?? Thought's ??? A~C Lani Edit Add: Admin will set up a special forum here for the Fantasy Sports games.. so sign up.. chime in.. let's get this rolling for the NFL games this weekend..
offshore Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Lani, I have no idea what a Fantasy League is! My closest guess would be the entire Australian netball team, in my bed! I know, pure fantasy Offshore
deltatahoe Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 i think for the american members (and any other folks who have an interest in the NFL, although i'm sure there would be few), a pick-em league would be well received. one of the ones i've done for a while is pretty simple, but a lot of fun. the rules are as follows: essentially, every week you have to select the winner of one game (no spread involved, just the outright winner), and whichever team you pick, you cannot re-pick them for the rest of the season. as you can imagine, picking in the early weeks is pretty easy, but it certainly gets harder as the season goes on, and there is certainly plenty of strategy involved. it probably goes without saying, but if the team you pick loses, you're out of the contest. if people are interested, we could start this up next week (that way everyone had this past weekend to size up all the teams). any thoughts/opinions? deltathaoe
cornerstone Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 I think this is a great idea - most offices (here anyway) run something similar, so it'll work fine. (D4M set up a fantasy college basketball competition once - it was a good laugh.)

I'm not familiar with these fantasy leagues .. I agree with keeping it simple for the first season at least. Where can we do this ?? Does this warrant it's own section ?? so as not to con volute GD or OT sections.. I figure why not create our own sport leagues here so members can stay here and do the fantasy League thing here too instead of jumping from forum to forum.. I like the "No spread" rule.. anyway.. let's see what T say's .. I'll shoot a PM ..we can plan prizes as members climb on board.. A~C Lani
lanikai Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Posted September 14, 2009 Ok.. Admin say's we can have our own forum for this event !! so common guy's let's see whose interested chime in .. we can play with a small number of participants or a large group.. we will start with the NFL games..but it won't be restricted to just that sport..

MasterOfPuppets Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Great idea, i think women's beach vollyball would be great no seriousely, soccer would be my game, i know that US members wouldn't be excited about it, but we'll see how the EU members like it! cheers
lanikai Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Posted September 15, 2009 Having one would be fantastic! CF.. start rounding up your EU members .. you can have your own fantasy futbol league.. L
vlydog Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 I have never participated in one before but I'm game.
lanikai Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Posted September 15, 2009 I have never participated in one before but I'm game. Great B !! Admin will give us our own section.. but if we don't get enough participants.. we'll have to table it..
