Years ago I ran something like this at work and people seemed to have fun with it. I know we have a diverse membership base here, so I'm curious if there will be enough interest.
Fantasy Sports can be fun but it can also be really time-consuming. With G-Man's EZ Fantasy Football, you can still live vicariously through the successes of sports teams but without all the extra work each week on your end. Here's how it works:
1) You sign up in the poll.
2) Once the entry deadline closes, I will randomize all participants and we will have a draft. Everybody gets to pick two teams for offense and one team for defense. No two teams are allowed to be exactly the same.
3) Once the draft is complete, I will randomize all participants into divisions and conferences, as necessary.
4) Once divisions and conferences are generated, I will create a schedule of head-to-head match-ups between participants.
5) Each week of the NFL season, participants team sets play against each other in said head-to-head match-ups. Here's how the scoring works:
6) I keep track of all the scoring each week so you don't have to. I have a lovely spreadsheet just waiting to be dusted off and used again.WEEK 1, Game A: G-Man v. Player X
-The teams I and Player X selected for offense earn us points based on how many points those teams score in their weekly games.
-The teams I and Player X selected for defense cost us points based on how many points those teams give up in their weekly games.
Offense #1 points for + Offense #2 points for - Defense points against = Total Weekly Score
Player X wins if their Total Weekly Score is higher than mine or vice versa.
7) As the NFL season progresses, I will update our season standings in the thread to show how Syndicate participants are doing in their divisions and conferences.
8) Week 14-16 of the NFL season will be our playoffs and the playoff structure will be modeled after the NFL's (depending on how many people sign up for this).
9) Week 17 of the NFL season will be the Syndicate Bowl, where the top two teams face each other and the winner is the league champion.
So, what do you think?
