Las Vegas Bash Live Fantasy Football Draft!

[TeddyB]

Throwing this out there, for all the people attending the Bash, what do you think about having a 12 team league for about a $250-$300 cash byin with a live draft?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I'd consider it only if someone I trust holds the money like mpaschal or BIGDAY.

[Hman]

I would participate if time allows.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Pass. Not spending 4 hours at a fantasy draft while in Vegas

[Hman]

Can we go ahead & establish all rules & payouts in case others are interested & can officially decide?

[TeddyB]

I'll work on that, I think Yahoo let's you set up a league for free. We'll see.

Good luck finding someone to keep $3600 for 4 months

Not a problem at all.

Have seen much higher $ contests in which the money was held.

[cincinnatikid513]

sign up for the westgate super contest pays better

Good luck finding 11 other guys who can afford the entry fee

Hman you might wanna clear your participation w SBR. I know Opti opted out of our survivor league last year because there was a $$ value associated with the winner and any issue it could have caused

With 12 random guys from the internet? Pass

I compete in some high dollar baseball leagues. The money is kept by a third party.

I’ve ran a friends & family league for 8 years now. Only $85 buy in. Weekly prizes. 3 or 4 posters here have played. I’ll have 2 or 3 openings if anyone’s interested.

I’m not going to Vegas to play fantasy football with Jerkoffs wearing jerseys that are oversized

I’m going for a hookers, pot, liquor, gambling and strip clubs I will not be at any sausage party

Have fun jj!

[jjgold]

Vegas it Sin City why would anyone go to the bash and be in a hotel room the whole entire time with a fantasy draft?

I say you don’t get one person Ted

Teddy Let’s go to Hooker houses

[TeddyB]

Jj, we'll do the draft at a bar or somewhere, not in a hotel room. Maybe SBR can even give us a room. We'll have beer. A live fantasy football draft used to be one of the funnest days of the year for me. This tops Vegas and we're in Vegas!

u sure

[TeddyB]

If you're not interested, just say so.

Send me the rules, I’ll join.

[Fire in da hole]

TeddyB, as Hman said you need to set the rules first

after you do that people will be able to decide if they want to join

I’m interested, but not going to commit to a league where they score 5000 pts per week and get pts for farting on the bench

[jjgold]

Firehead lol

Your a failed bettor

[TeddyB]

Will do Fire, I'll put something together and then put it up. I'll try to have everything covered and do a good job.

[Fire in da hole]

Firehead lol

Your a failed bettor

JJ on the tarmac at LAX going to Vegas

where are you baldy?

[Chi_archie]

sounds like fun

[mpaschal34]

I may be interested....depending on day, time and rules.

As for money holding...recommend Astro or leaguesafe.

[CarolinaDaze]

Draft shouldn't take more than 2.5 - 3 hrs, most people will be in Vegas for 3-5 days, I'm sure we can squeeze a live draft in somewhere. I'm not willing to throw out the $$$ for just anyone to keep. I don't know how this league safe works, but if it's legit, I'd be down to play.

[mpaschal34]

The draft would take less than 2 hours (unless it was an auction draft).

I’ve used leaguesafe in a few leagues and had no issues.

[TeddyB]

Ok, I set up a league with Yahoo. It is - SBR Las Vegas Bash 2018 - here is the link

https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/147597/invitation?key=ddd5187b71c884d0&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=c059c04fec303a05

I also set up a LeagueSafe account for us to hold the money.

https://www.leaguesafe.com/join/3865007

I put the cost at $280, $275 for our pool and $5 a head so I can buy a draft board and whatever else we need for the draft. If there's money left over, maybe I'll buy beer with it.

It is a 12 man league, first come, first serve - I guess whoever pays first with LeagueSafe is in. If we don't get 12 people to signup, LeagueSafe says we can have a refund of our money before the draft.

Prize Structure
Total Money - $3,300
1st Place - $2,000
2nd Place - $650
Regular Season Most Points - $650

LeagueSafe charges 4% if paid by credit card but it is free if you use an online check. So if you are paying by credit card, make sure you pay the extra 4%.

I propose doing the draft sometime Saturday, August 25th at about noon, but we will figure it out when we are not tied up doing SBR events or the poker tourney, so as we know more, we'll figure it out.

There are also miniscule charges by LeaugeSafe on the winners payouts, only a few dollars so it shouldn't be a problem.

I am also proposing at least 3 minutes given for each pick. It will go much quicker than that in the early rounds but if we did less time than that it is defeating the purpose of a live draft.

[BIGDAY]

Last time we did a Bash FF, we just selected the draft order at the draft.

Then set up an online draft for a later date.

I’d be interested in that..

[ttwarrior1]

id be in if going

[mpaschal34]

id be in if going

I’m sure we know the answer to that....so move along.

[mpaschal34]

3 mins a pick is WAY TOO MUCH time.
