    Anybody interested in an RBI pool?
    Goes like this.

    Pro's only

    Select five hitters who you think will accumulate the most RBI's this season.
    You top three RBI leaders count.
    No free agents, no drops and adds as the season progresses.
    If three of your players land on the 30 day DL. sorry, no edits.

    Draft will be five rounds, roto snake style.
    5 rounds, top 3 of your 5 RBI players count at the end.
    Most RBI's accumulated wins.

    Bet point entry fee is open for discussion, 20 point entry fee, 50, 100 whatever.
    Number of entrants and prize pool open for discussion also if interested.

    If there is enough interest draft will be held on the final weekend of March.

    It's a fun pool, low maintenance, it's not like you have to set a lineup every week on Monday at noon or anything.
    Weekly standings updates is easy, it'll take me (or anybody else) no more than 20 minutes on Monday morning to update.

    Post here if interested.

          Ill try it if it gets enough entries. I have lost my zest for fantasy baseball and this is something I could participate in without keeping up with anything

            I'll play, hopefully buy in will be at least 100-150. Everyone who has showed interest so far has at least that many points available.

                        Agreed. 500 points is roughly $20 in bitcoin and it's a long season. Sounds like a pretty fun contest.

                            500 is agreed.

                            If I/we can get 12 minimum committed it's a go.
                            Can't happen with less than 12 though.

                            Top 25 percent of all the entrants gets paid.
                            if 12 entries 3 cash.
                            If 16 entries 4 cash
                            If 20 entries 5 cash
                            And so on.

                            OK, let's make this happen.

                            Like I said it's low maintenance.
                            No drops, no adds, no weekly lineup changes, your best 3 hitters with the most RBI's count, drop your bottom two hitters.
                            What you start out with in April you're stuck with until October.

                            I've done a few of these in the past.
                            They are fun and keeps you involved all season.

                                      I don't think an RBI pool is considering gambling with other posters.
                                      If it is, so be it, the powers that be will put a stop to it.
                                      No big thing, it's not like I'm trying to angle shoot here or anything.

                                        It is okay Steve, forgive Joe Bidens son Pavy. He is as fuked up as his dad is. It will be okay. He just gave us a speech about wearing masks then walks away without a fukin mask to shake hands with others and people had to tell him to go get his mask.

                                            1000 point buyin might be better for a long season.

                                                        I am 5-4 and muscular
                                                        First off you ain't going to fight me, and I'm not going to fight you.
                                                        Former scholastic wrestler and baseball player.
                                                        Very low center of gravity, tough to get me on the ground, you have to take my legs out which is difficult because I am 5' 7" 168 lbs.
                                                        Don't let the size fool you, I am compact BMI 18.8. Minimal fat a lot of chest and lower leg muscle.

                                                        I don't box, I'm short, I have no reach, I wrestle, I'm good at that.

                                                        Tell you what Coach, you can buy me the first round, since I quit drinking I am a cheap date.

                                                          Yeah, if your random team scores 13 runs in a game you win the pot.
                                                          I was in a couple of them like 20 years ago.

                                                            This is a bit different your team has to get every number 0 through 13, but I've also done the you are referring to that hits a little faster.

                                                              Both pools are fun.
