2018 Fantasy Football League
hey Guys,
Aron mentioned in lunch that there’s a chance we might not be able to do the league this year if they don’t open up the commissions and fair enough. I agree it’s not really fair to offer commissioned podcasts if it’s nof available to everyone.
So so we have a few options per below.
1. If they do open up commissions and allow us to have their blessing for a league this year then of course that’s what we will do.
If the answer is no then these are the possible options...
2. We do a free league or leagues simply with bragging rights. Although I can tell you from a decade plus of experience these usually turn out really lame as no one has any interest to really care about their team and many people stop filling out their lineups or actively participated. I don’t think I’d actually put the effort into setting this up but I Guess it’s still an option.
3. We set up an official and legal pro yahoo paid league where we have a cash entry and the winner(s) will instead get paid cash. This will need to be set up and separated from BM with no official connection to the group. This is 100% legal but I would not feel comfortable promoting this on their forums and we would need to create like a Google hangout to set up and do separately.
4. Don’t do it this year
obviously most of us would probably prefer number 1 but just wanted to get feelers out for worst case we have to choose 2, 3 or 4. Please comment and let me know what option you prefer and we can come to an agreement on how to manage.
Thanks

You didn’t enter free and get a commissioned podcast. It was winner take all. The winner of the league technically won the $300 pot but the prize was a commissioned podcast of their choice. So basically you risked a $30 entry and played fantasy football with a chance of winning and getting choose a commissioned podcast.
if we did a free league then you wouldn’t win anything.
The other option is we use one of the sites that allows you to enter a cash league for X amount, say $30, $50 or $100 entry and the winner gets the money cash in hand minus whatever fees the site charges.
Alternatively (just spitballing here) Bald Move could award the winner a 5 year club membership (which I believe is the same value as a $300 commission). Not as fun as a commission but would be a lot less effort for Jim & ARon.
1. commissioned podcast as usual
2. do a $10 per person entry and the winner gets 2 years free subscription to BM VIP. or 1st and 2nd place get 1 year but then that sort of defeats the purpose of the championship game.
check your inbox for those who are in
right now i just filled up one league of 12. so we would need more people to make a 2nd
if you didn’t get in and still interested in a $25-$30 buy in then message here. I’ll see if we can get enough for a second league.
