Hellooo my internet best friends. The DFS contest will be back for season two. Last year was fairly successful and we had a bunch of people participate and a few regulars who were in it every week!

 

For those of you who don't know what DFS are it is quite simple and addicting. You have a set amount of money to spend on players and you get points based on how your players perform. We use the Draft Kings platform (It's free to sign up and you don't need a credit card or anything to create a free account and it takes 2 mins.

 

Why should you participate? Excellent question.

1. It's free

2. It's fun

3. You win $$

4. Why the f*** would you not?

5. i like teddy bears

 

- Also if you're interested in ever dabbling into the boards prized fantasy leagues this is a great way to prove yourself.

 

Last years standings:

1. Vdubmvp 20 points

2. Spats 16 points

3 GD, Jays4life19 15 points

4 Cyborg 12points

5 Nafro 10 points

6 CanadianSportsJunkie, Boxy 7 points

7 King, 5 points

8 JFLJR, Jays_Fever, John_Havok, Orgfiller, L54, Hurl 4 points

9 P2F, Rusty_Savage 3 points

10 Deadpool, 2 points

11 Bellis,, 1 point

12 Bunch of people = 0 points

13 Bones10, Spanky -1 points

 

How it works?

Every Sunday i will create a free game (last year the average size was about 10 people). You get points based on how you finish (or negative points if you eat a bunch of dicks). I'm hoping to have the games bigger this year (15 to 20) and whoever ends the year with the most points wins something. Last year Vdup won 75$ for her first place visit mostly because i was too lazy to mail a gift card.

 

I haven't decided what the prize will be this year but either cash, jays gift cards or Jays tickets or some combination of the three.

 

Since the opening Sunday will only have three games the first game will take place Monday April 3rd and then once a week Sunday for the rest of the season. If you miss a few weeks it's no big deal, and it only takes 5 mins to fill out a lineup (or more depending on the research you want to put into it)

 

Finalllyyyy.....if you played last year i will have your DK name and you will receive an invite! If you don't want to play 1. f*** you and 2. let me know so i don't spam you every Sunday. Also if you're new and want to play post your DK name and i'll add you to the list.

 

Post in the thread if you want to play this year so i can get a sense on how many spots to open up week 1.

 

tadaaaa

dumb question time. Do you pick players league wide? or only blue jays?

 

No dumb questions! Every player who is on a roster on any team is generally available. You have a 50k budget and each player is assigned a salary.

Make an account! I think everyone who played last year will vouch it's a lot of fun! The time commitment is minimal as we only do it once a week and building a roster can take a few mins if you don't have a lot of time.

Right - so it's just standard DK with a league full of BJ fans. I thought this was an extension of the "pick which BJ will hit a HR this game contest". I'll consider signing up. Remembering to do it every Sunday will be the challenge.

I have decided the prize will be a minimum value of 100$ since last year first place got 75$

 

How about $75 for 1st and $25 for second.

When you sign up you put your e-mail in and when i send invites (the day before) you automatically get an e-mail with a link to select your team. So unless you go over 24 hours without checking your e-mail/looking at your phone it's hard to not remember.

I signed up, username is same as my name here.

 

Got it! Thanks!

Hmmm. I'll consider it but i generally don't like to reward the best loser.

I don't really need an excuse to beat GD but I'll take it.

 

Most likely though I'll end up missing half the weeks and duel it out for that 8th place tie. Still be sure to include me!

You don't need an excuse but you'll definitely need a way. Lol @ 4 points.
