i would imagine if there were 2 other guys who'd play, they would have checked in by now.

as i posted earlier, 3 guys wanted on the waiting list - but havent heard form them.

I say we give it another few days, if not i will cancel the league sadly

100 bucks? what is this? my work pool?

come on - nobody wants to play in a Real League!
I had fun last year having one "go to" league where i really paid attention!

people bet 100 bucks a game, but dont want to invest 500 for 16 weeks of entertainment!


Not referring to Pats league or anyone else's league's, that is irrelevant.

But I have the exact same thoughts as quoted above.
Most everyone is going to end up spending far more than $500 during the complete football season (even smaller players), but won't put it up to participate in something that will keep them entertained, as Dude says above, all year long, with a nice chunk going to the winner.

I tried to form this high dollar league in previous years to no avail, until the right group of guys who got it, finally came along last year, and made it happen.

Disappointing to see us fall short again this year...

totally agree Hache - i guess it is just the stigma.

my friend just through down 100 dollars for a PGA pool, has signed up for multiple pick' em leagues, hilton pools, survivor pools, etc... but told me "500 bucks is too steep" :)

Your league Pats?

How many are you lacking?

If it comes to the point where you need 1 guy in the very end let me know and I will join.

It will fill, but that is good to know if someone flakes or something that you would join. I'll keep you posted.

Sent you a PM just now about something else...

Pats. Not going to play in the auction league.
I dont mind most of the rules but I dont like the total points scoring.

Makes sense, not many do.

The way we see it is enough luck is involved in fantasy football so why bring even more luck into it with head to head?

For a bigger $ league where you can pay people for both h2h and pts that works but for just $100 we would rather go pts.

Im more about the fun then I am best team winning when it comes to fantasy football.
Even in big leagues.

Last year for example in this $500 league I finished dead last.

But if we would have used the total points scoring system I would have finished 2nd.

I had the highest points against in this league last year and it was not even close. I lost 120 to 110 almost every week while I had to watch other people win 60 to 50 on a weekly basis.

I see the merit in the total points but its not quite is fun.

anyone have any thoughts?
need 2 more for 10, 4 more for 12

Considering this has been up for a couple weeks, not sure if anyone will commit.

Strange we filled 12 spots so quick last year and struggling this year

This entire forum is dying as a whole.
ANd this league not filling up is just a byproduct of that fact.

I'll join if you guys can get to 12 (don't wanna do 10 teamer) but if I do join I'd really like a swap of a few people in this league joining my league so I can fill it.

It is only $100 and I think it is a fair tradeoff.
