Link to previous announcement.
Right now we have 7 of 12 players signed up. I know @kitzchris will be playing; @kryptocek and @pittsburghhodlr should be signing up soon too.
So that leaves 2 places!!!
Just comment below if you want to play.
The skinny of it is that it's a 5 SBD buy-in, which goes right to the prize pool. And then the prize pool increases with upvotes for league content.
Pay your dues!!!
I'm flexible about when you send over the 5 SBD, but to protect everyone and the integrity of the contest, we do need to have it before drafting.
I promise I'm not scamming and running off with the pot. (I think the witnesses could do some sort of black magic to stop me if I tried that anyways.)
Draft
Speaking of the draft, the draft order will be randomly determined by Yahoo!
Once all 12 people register (or maybe as it gets closer to draft day? I'm not sure), Yahoo! spits out a draft order. There's the option to manually set your own order. I just want to officially state that we'll use whatever order the Yahoo! software gives us.
I won't touch it, is basically what I'm saying. Whatever order they give us will be the one we use.
Questions
If you have any questions or anything, fire away!!!
The draft is in one week: Thursday, August 23rd at 6pm EST
So this post is also serving as a reminder for everyone already signed up.
Once we get all the managers finalized, we'll all know our draft position and can start eyeing players and the shenanigans will begin!

awesome bola!!
I do think there's 1 more spot available.. although I'm trying to make sense of who all has signed up and who is sitting on a link and hasn't registered yet etc
Want to just be sure I don't undercut someone who already said they want to play.
so let me sort it out, and then I'll toss you the link!

Hopefully everything will get sorted out before the draft. I’m really excited. I’ve already tried mock draft and it’s fun. Perhaps my Resteem will help get at least one player.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

ya.. it'll DEFINITELY get sorted out. Even as a worst case we'd just roll with 10 players. But that's really unlikely.. between the rest of the steemosphere, and then reaching for a friend of somebody who wants to play or even open it to a random Yahoo! account just to get the 12th team lol. It'll definitely happen one way or another. Just hopefully we get all Steem people and don't have to take muggles.
thanks for resteeming!!

Dude I will be sending the 5SBD to you.
I have something really important on 23rd. @nathanmars is coming to Poland and I would be joinig him for stuff that we need to do here. Any idea about somebody who can play in my stead?

oh..
I think you actually haven't signed up yet?
Sorry, trying to make sense of who is who in the league and remember who exactly has signed up. It's easy to get confused haha.
So ya, I guess just fill me in on what you mean here. If you can't play, you def don't need to send the SBD.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Cool.. no worries either way.
If you need to pullout of the league, you can just remove your team (or let me know and I'll remove it). It's too bad you won't be able to play, but it won't harm the league at all, it's plenty of warning and enough time to find a replacement.
If you're saying you DO want to keep your team but just need someone to DRAFT for you .. basically, I think you'd need to give them access to your Yahoo! account. So it would need to be someone you trust personally like that.
Just lmk and we'll straighten it out.

Pumped dude! Yea I'm not sure when yahoo randomizes the draft order, but if we'd know a little in advance it'd be nice to kinda look at who to target.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
yaaa.. thinking about it more, I think maybe they do the order as they open the draft room? So if that were the case you'd have plenty of time in terms of like.. 45 minutes, like enough to review your options. but not to stew on it for a few days.
I'll fish around for if there are any options to randomize the order ahead of time or anything.
I basically just want it to be clear that it was truly random lol so if I get a good pick it doesn't look fishy :p

I know what you mean. It'd be awesome to end up with Bell or Gurley, but there's just so many picks in between. I'd still rather be first than last though for sure. It's a fantasy draft though, I'm gonna be thrilled with whatever pick 😂

We're expecting that making a prize pool out of steem posting isn't so viable this year, so bumping it to a $20 buyin.

I got hit by a football when I was young and I've lived a fantasy ever since.
I read all above but still do not have a clue what to do. If it was fantasy ping pong I may have a chance.

Questions: Does the winner receive the value of steem its currently at now. Or do we receive lets say 12 teams 5 steem a piece 60 steem tokens at the end?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
So a couple things..
The buyin is actually in SBD (Steem Backed Dollars) which is a different thing than STEEM. Once you have STEEM tho, it's easy to convert to SBD from inside your wallet.
SBD attempts to always be worth around $1 USD. (Tho in practice it fluctuates.)
So, the winner will receive the SBD tokens, whatever they're currently valued at. So ya, the tokens are the prize pool, and its value could rise or fall throughout the season.
If we want, I'm open to converting the prize pool from SBD to STEEM, if everyone is okay with it.
Lmk if that doesn't make sense or you have any other questions.
