14th Annual BGO Ballers Fantasy Football League ***SkinsOrlando Champion***

[Kel Varnsen]

Welcome to the 14th annual BGO Ballers Fantasy Football League. Are you ready to see who knows the most about building a football team week in and week out? There is a new owner in town and we are all excited about this upcoming season. But this is your chance to prove you are the best fake football GM on this board. The contest is free and it's open to everyone. The more the merrier! We will divide into as many leagues as needed to accommodate all players, so sign up today.

We will use Yahoo as we have in the past and use the same roster construction and scoring rules as we did last year.

1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 DST, 1 K
Standard non PPR scoring

We want you to play. Whether you are a novice or an expert. Whether it's your 1st year or your 14th. We want you to play in this league.

To summarize:
You get to put your football team building ideas into action
You get to have camaraderie with the other members on this board
You get to have lots of fun
It costs you nothing but a few minutes each week


You do not want to miss out this year, so sign up today. All you need to do is reply in this thread that you want to play and I will setup the leagues and invite the players. Once we have the leagues set, we will work on setting the draft date to try and accommodate as many as we can.

[Neophyte]

Let's do this.

 

[Canadian Hog]

Yes, please. I am in.

Thanks for running this, Kel!

 

[Primus Porcus]

Lock me in!

 

[Boone]

I'll play

 

[SkinsOrlando]

I am ready to bring my ultimate suckitude like every other year

 

[Shi no Tenshi]

Alright. Count me in. I guarantee nothing in regards to quality, but count me in.

Need to research the NFL again

So much for my title defense...

Glad you are back, sir.

 

[Knightingale]

I’m in!!!! 😀

 

[Shi no Tenshi]

So much for my title defense...

Glad you are back, sir.

Looking forward to another season where I put together a team that will score so many points when I am not playing Boone.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Anyone interested in playing, let us know soon. We will probably have to close up registration in about a week or two.

 

[Boone]

This is a good opportunity to lure in some new members guys. If you know Washington fans, invite them to the FF league, and the Pickem and NFL Crystal Ball contests, only requirement is they register as a member. Free prizes for God's sake...

 

[Kel Varnsen]

We have 10 in the league so far. I’ll give everyone else through the weekend to sign up. So last call for anyone who isn’t listed at the top who wants to play

 

[Chris]

JP Finlay had some solid suggestions for fantasy team names- Abundance of Caution and Position Flex.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

We need one more person to join so that we can get to 12 teams. If anyone is interested in playing, please let me know ASAP. The first person I hear from will get the last spot and we will close at 12 teams.

 

[Boone]

Come on peeps - someone step up so we can add Skinsfanpip to the mix…

 

[Kel Varnsen]

We have 12. I asked my sister jmsully4 if she wanted to play and she said yes. She joined the board this summer after seeing my Bye Dan shirt. We had some real life marketing happening that day.

Side Note: 1/4 of the league is now my family (sister, nephew, and me). I’m going to disappointed if one of us doesn’t win.

 

[Shi no Tenshi]

Challenge accepted.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

We need to pick a draft date. We are running out of options and I know I'll be traveling on Labor Day weekend (others probably will be too), so that cuts down the options. We want to get as many people to draft live as we can. I'm going to throw out some dates and please everyone respond with what works for you.

Sunday 8/27 - Any time after 4pm
Tuesday 8/29 - 8PM
Monday 9/3 - 8PM
Tuesday 9/4 - 8PM

We can be flexible with the times. I wouldn't want to go too much earlier than 8PM so that people have time to get home from work, eat, and do whatever they need to do at home. And we can go a little later if necessary. I just need everyone to chime in and let me know what works.
