There has been some interest in creating a fantasy football league for us brickpickers to have a little fun with. I've created a league on yahoo. Here are the details...

12 team head to head PPR.

Snake draft.

Points for yardage and td's.

Starting lineups will consist of 1qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 flex(rb, wr, or te), 1 k, 1 d/st, and 6 bench players.

Top six teams will make the playoffs.

Prize money awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

$30 franchise fee.

All money collected will be paid back to the league 100%.

1st place will get $220, 2nd place $90, and 3rd place $30. Total of $340.

League financials will be posted and tracked on the league site so everyone knows who has paid.

Live online draft is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26th at 630pm central time.

I chose this date because it is close to the end of preseason, so major injuries should not be a factor. It's also before Labor Day weekend, so you can spend time with friends and family and not have to worry about a FF draft. I chose a Tuesday night because everyone is most likely around. I chose 630pm central time so our pickers on the coasts should most likely be able to participate.

Draft order will be randomly determined by yahoo once you log into the live draft.

In keeping with the spirit of this wonderful site, I ask that all owners make their team names Lego related.

I will collect entry fees and pay out prize money via paypal. It's the easiest way to do this. As long as we send as a gift payment no paypal fees will be deducted. The winners can obviously use their winnings any way they choose to, but hopefully they will spend it on some lego and post the pics to brag about it!

A little about myself...I live in Green Bay, WI, and am a HUGE Packer fan. I have been going to Packer games since 1989 when I was in middle school, and share season tickets with my father (yes, the senior citizen I am always talking about dragging to shopko to utilize his 15% senior discount). I run a 12 team auction league up here and this season is our 20th year. We have very little ownership turnover, so that makes it quite a bit of fun. Alas, in 19 seasons I have only won the championship twice. It's ok though. I have fun running the league.

Now, I realize that we have a pretty tight knit community here, and that I am asking potential owners to send money to a complete stranger. I kept the entry fee low ($30) to reduce the scam potential, but it's still enough for the winner to be able to buy a nice exclusive. I have been an active member on this site for a year and a half, with over 400 "likes". I sell on eBay under the handle scoob222000. I have over 600 positive feedbacks there, with no neutral or negatives. I just started selling on bricklink. My handle there is terrymc, and my store is Everything is Awesome!! Since I just got started there my feedback is only at 31, but it's 100% positive as well. Please feel free to check out my profiles. The point I am trying to make is that I'm not setting this up to scam anybody, but instead to have a little fun this football season with some fellow pickers.

If all of this sounds good then PM me your email address and I will send you the link to join the league. Ed and/or Jeff, if you are reading this it would be awesome if you guys would join us. So far we have three owners. Nine spots are left. It's first come, first served.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!

What are the payouts this year?

Same as last year. They should be posted on the main page of our league on the Yahoo site. I can doublecheck later when I get home from work. First second and third place will receive a prize money.

What are the payouts this year?

1st place $230.

2nd place $100.

3rd place $30.

Same as last season. The four teams that are still alive, please pm me your PayPal email addy so I will be able to send the prize money right away after next week's championship and consolation games. Thank you, and good luck!

PS...The Green Bay Pickers will put up a much better fight next season (and hopefully avoid all of the season ending injuries that we suffered this year)!

Congrats to the plasticmanor on winning our second annual Brickpicker fantasy football league. I just sent the prize money via PayPal friends/family payment to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers. If you buy yourself some nice Lego sets with your winnings please post a pic so we can see what you won! Until next season...
