    @loon3 Not sure how many American football fans there are here, but for anyone that is, the 2014-2015 season is fast approaching.

    I'm curious if there is any interest in a LTBc buy-in fantasy football league. I was thinking we could create a Counterparty asset which represents the league with indivisible tokens representing each team/manager (or separate assets representing each team). As the season progresses, tokens representing teams with good winning percentages should have a market value representative of the odds of that team winning the championship. After the championship game, the address holding the token which represents the winning team will be awarded all the LTBc league fees paid in the beginning of the season.

    Will need at least 8 teams in the league, but we could go as high as 16. I'll likely use Yahoo to host the league, but I'm open to suggestions.

    Let me know if anyone is interested.

    Not sure if you saw the reply since I don't think I quoted you. Let me know if you got room for one more.

    Best thing I think is to try and keep separate parts of your life, well, separate.

    Difficult, but might be worth the effort.

    and with the addition of

    @scipio @silvergoldandbitcoin @roadwarriors

    This puts us at 14, which shouldn't be a problem.

    I'm thinking a league fee of 10,000 LTBc per team which is right around $20. It's enough skin in the game for each manager to have incentive to remain active throughout the season. I also prefer a winner take all style as opposed to smaller payouts for 2nd and 3rd place but I'm open for discussion.

    Let me know if the league fee is reasonable and I'll move forward with posting instructions on how this is all going to work.

    The fee is fine with me. I'm good with winner take all or 1/2/3. I'm in for whatever you decide.

    My experience is that it can be hard for some to maintain interest as they fall "out of the money," so winner take all might just hasten that process for some.

    I like the buy in but have a proposal for an addition to the buy in. I have been part of another fantasy league for the past several years where we really had to fight inactivity late, especially when owners had a poor record. Therefore, we instituted part of the buy in dedicated to a winner take all side pot for the highest scoring week of the season. Everyone has had incentive to win something, therefore everyone has put their best effort in each week since then, regardless of record.

    How about a 10,000 + 5,000 LTBc buy in across 14 teams with the following payout distribution:

    • 130,000 LTBc to the winner.
    • 10,000 LTBc to the runner up (get your buy in back).
    • 70,000 LTBc to the owner that has the highest scoring week during the fantasy regular season.

    There, of course, will need to be more discussion over type of league....auction or standard. My vote honestly would be standard snake draft (ABCDDCBA...etc), standard scoring in a head-to-head league with the following positions:

    • QB
    • RB
    • RB
    • WR
    • WR
    • FLEX
    • K
    • DST
    • BENCH X6

    What do you guys think?

    70k LTBCoin for the highest scorer of the season??? Very cleaver idea for keeping everyone interested all the way through. Never heard of that before but I kind of like it. I think I'll even throw it out to my current league for a vote. So, ya, I'm down with that.
