Q. There is a fee for trades, where does this money go?
A. I somehow forgot to type this in the rules, which is why I posted them ahead of time. The money that is collected from trades will go to the loser of the championship game. Depending on how many trades are made during the season there could be a trickle down to 3rd and 4th place as well. There will be a cap on the 2nd place finish money that will be set prior to the league starting and all remaining money will go to 3rd and 4th place.
Q. Are you charging for free agent acquisitions?
A. As it is set up now there will be the $1 charge. After talking to a friend of mine about our live league he is suggesting that we put a cap on the amount you would pay for free agents in the year. For this league I am thinking we should do something like that and also there are ways to get a free agent free of charge. ie. you have a player go on season ending IR, you could replacement him for free.
Q. Are you taking a commission for running this league?
A. Absolutely not, I love playing fantasy football. Actually playing fantasy saves me money because I don't have time to put money on the games and since I am a lifelong sports betting loser this saves me. Also, I will be putting up a few prizes as well in this contest that I have not yet mentioned.
Q. When we mail you the chips, when will prizes be distributed and who is paying for all of the shipping to weekly winners?
A. I will distribute the prizes as I see fit. I know that is not the exact answer you are looking for. At the very latest all packages will be mailed the day after the championship game. Since we will have weekly prizes as well I will mail them out during the year. I will not mail all prizes immediately since that would cost me about $30 in shipping alone but I will hold your winnings for a few weeks too see if I can combine the shipping with another win. I know this probably made no sense but I will clear it up on the friday sign up post.
Q. What happens if we have an odd number of teams sign up?
A. if this happens I have a friend or 2 that would be willing to participate to make the field even.
Q. Do you have to be a member of to play?
A. No you do not, I am collecting the money in advance so we will not have to worry about a player disappearing without paying. if you have any friends or family that would like to play they can sign up as well but make sure they know they will probably be receiving chips as their prize.
