However, the fee would be very high for me. I am not very confident in my ability to win against all of you heheheh. You can give my slot to someone else. I am okay with this.

I seem to recall you doing pretty darn good a couple of seasons ago.  If the expense is what would keep you from joining I suggest we reduce the fee to 1mBTC.  In the spirit of keeping it fun and achievable for all, we originally tried to keep the buy-in around the $50 range.

@bbc.reporter how does 0.0015 sound? Just save a bit from a couple weeks worth of sig campaign payments. I am not confident either but people its more fun when people take it more seriously because there's something somewhat substantial at stake.

August, here we come!

I think we are fortunate to have such a great bunch of guys in this league.

Not only that but this is the most fun league I have been in as it also has the most skilled players of any league I have ever played in.

I will not vote on the amount as I am good with whatever you guys settle on.

I do think though that 3rd place should receive their buy in back as really to make 3rd in this league is an accomplishment.

BTW just for as an aside I have never gotten third in all my time playing in any league, I usually get 2nd or am so far back I miss the playoffs.  The last two seasons I have been extremely lucky.

Although I do think I made a spectacular draft last year.

I would hate to see anyone not be able to play because of the cost.

Might be a good idea to run 2 different leagues? Maybe 1 with a smaller buyin of .001-.0015 and see if we can get 10 that want to play for .0025-.005. I am good with whatever everyone wants to do, not sure we have confirmed we even have 10 still at this point. 1 week away from preseason.

[ChiBitCTy]

Here were are, tonight the Chicago Bears play the Houston Texans in the kick off to the season game, the HOF game.  Sure CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams and most starters will not be playing or might only play for a series or two, but it's still very exciting that there's an actual NFL game tonight and that of course means the regular season is just right around the corner!!

I'm down to play in whatever ya'll want me to play in/need people for.  I do like the idea of a higher entry fee league.  Just makes it more fun IMO, but I understand wanting to do either.

[DireWolfM14]

Is everyone that played last year still interested?  I haven't seen much action in this thread considering the season is so close, and some of those who participated last year have not mentioned weather they are interested.

I'm tagging everyone from last year's league, please indicate if you're in or not.

Depends on prizepool, where we'll play and what payout structure will look like for me.

IN for 2 (lower cost and a higher one) or even 3 if you guys would like to play the style where you draft and then the best roster is played auto every week.

I think that would be a cool format to try.

[wheelz1200]

I am in no matter the format and buy in.  I don't care if it's really cheap or really expensive just let me know when draft night is!  In trs of format I don't think it needs to be much different but if there is some wacky new formats you all want to try I'm still in.  Fun league.  Training camp is on fellas!

[morvillz7z]

I'm in!

[Hhampuz]

So if most people don't care, let me bring this format up:

Play on Sleeper and ditch yahoo.
2mBTC entry
3rd gets entry back, 1st/2nd split 70/30

Draft to take place not at an ungodly hour, I'm in CET and I'm willing to cater to my USA friends but if I stay up to draft at midnight over here you guys should be able to draft at 6-7 in the evening 

I'm also fine doing 2 pools if some don't want to spend as much. Say a 2mBTC pool (main) and a 0.75mBTC pool. But having at least 10 people in pool should be main focus.

These are my suggestions, open to hear others but also interested in locking stuff in as we are getting close! 34 days until kick-off LFG

[yahoo62278]

Not sure why everyone wants to ditch me. Hhampuz is the 2nd person wanting me out lmao.

All kidding aside, I'm in for both leagues if we do 2. Just need the details and all good.

Best time of the year is finally here, let's have some fun!!!

[DireWolfM14]

Play on Sleeper and ditch yahoo.
2mBTC entry
3rd gets entry back, 1st/2nd split 70/30

I suggested moving to Sleeper, but almost everyone else who mentioned it wants to sick to Yahoo.  Not a deal breaker for me, either way.

@bbc.reporter, you would you be able to swing an entry fee of 0.002BTC?  I'd rather keep you in the league rather than see you left out due to price.

I agree that 3rd place should get their fee back.  Even if we can only get 10 players to join, the winner and runner-up will still get a big payday.

[Hhampuz]

Sleeper seems very easy, even more so than Yahoo, let's make the switch. There is no time like the present!

I'll do mock drafts with anyone who's on the fence.

I am sorry, but I cannot join. I will only be wasting 2mBTC because much everyone one of you are better in playing NFL fantasy hehehe. However, this is okay, there is nothing to worry. I can join other leagues or I can also play Duelbits' daily fantasy offerings for the whole season the NFL. Thank you for the concern @DireWolfM14!

I hear ya man, they beat my ass last year too. I was near the bottom of the league, but I enjoyed a little shit talking and conversation in the discord channel as well as it made watching the games a little more interesting.

Sorry to see you go, maybe you'll change your mind?

Would you (or anyone else here, for that matter) be interested in something like this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5504893.0

I've been thinking of doing this for a couple of years now, I think it'll be fun and may get more foreigners interested in football.  Whenever jeremypwr posts a prediction contest during the season it seems to get a significant number of participants.

I am so confident that everyone will like Sleeper more that I'm almost willing to pay peoples buy-ins if at the end they still say they like yahoo or espn more.  The beautiful thing about Sleeper is that its owned by a company who actually gives a shit about fantasy.  Fantasy football is not something thats that important to yahoo or espn.  They are large businesses with a lot more thing to worry about versus sleeper is all about fantasy.  I think the most impressive thing about them is they take *good suggestions from the community and implement where necessary, and quickly.

No, I do not like this format, only fantasy hehehee. Thank you for the concern.

I'm willing to put in an extra 10% to help bbc cover his entry.

That's a nice gesture. How do we feel about 0.0015 BTC @bbc.reporter? That's currently $91, still our most expensive buy-in ever, but not too outrageous.

Here's my opinion on everything:

1. Same game & rules as last time (I'm not really interested in participating in extra games, don't have the time)
2. 0.0015 BTC buy-in.
