FANTASY BASKETBALL NFBBC 2011-12

COZ · Post by **COZ** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 5:40 pm

Well, since there is not going to be an NFBBC, I thought I would gauge the interest of participating in a HSF Basketball League just for this year. We would set it up on our own until STATS resumes the league next year. Here are my thoughts, we would run a league with the EXACT same rules as the NFBBC last year. Snake Draft, 12 team league, 8 category Rotisserie scoring, 4 G's, 4 F's, 2 C's, 2 Flex, 1,000 FAAB Budget (if possible on CBS). Run it on CBSSportsline. $750.00 entry fee (same as last year) or more if interest warrants (possibly $1500.00?). Draft date Fri. Dec. 23 at 8:00 EST (or earlier that week depending on feedback). While I'm leary of running a league given the hassle factor, I am desperate for a solid, high stakes basketball league. I'm interested in any feedback or possible interest. Was thinking of a payout of $5,000 for 1st place, $2,500 for 2nd place, & 1,500 for 3rd place. I would hold the money in a client trust account (just need to double check to make sure that would be allowed) or open a separate account to hold the money. As a practicing lawyer (and former Assistant State's Attorney) I am bound by a code of ethics & subject to discipline if there is any questions about my character or the mishandling of funds just in case there would be any payment questions or questions regarding myself. Anyone interested? Please reply or email me at [email protected]. Thanks.

I am interested -- however you may have to bring down the pricing point to get enough people interested

I just used the entry fee used last year for NFBBC which was $750.00. At some level, I think we are looking for it to be a high stakes league, not just a few hundred bucks since there are similar leagues on CBS already at that price point.

Thanks, I saw your thread but I need a little more action to get my juices flowing. Plus, not a fan of the yahoo platform. Good luck to you guys though.

I'm interested, anything from 750 to 1500 is fine by me. But i would have to draft before 12/23.
