2009 Official Dates

Saturday August 8th at Midnight: Keeper Deadline

Sunday August 9th: Draft Order Selection Process begins

Sunday August 30th: DRAFT DAY!

Thursday September 10th: Opening Night

Some side notes:

- We will be meeting somewhere (likely Jay's house) for the peeps who are in Raleigh. I am envisioning a few beers being served.

- If I have not heard something from Adams and Kurtis by the keeper date I will begin to consider the thought of removing them from the league. Not saying they could not come back in the future. If I have had no response from them with 3 days or so before the draft we will boot them from the league for the season.

Juan= Worst Fantasy Owner Ever?

It is highly debatable I agree but the truth is that Juan is one of the few fantasy owners I can ever remember not just to have never won a major (which many can claim including myself) but also to have never even made the playoffs in a major from what I remember. I hope my data research is wrong here but Juan's playoff drought is reaching up there with the LA Clippers and Detroit Lions of the world.

Worst yet he always seems to be in the lower middle levels of the league just close enough to smell the playoffs yet so far away that anyone but himself realizes it is just the ganja talking to him.

New Rules for 2009

This is the first of perhaps many changes for the league heading into 2009. This has been discussed by all if I am not mistaken but I might not have heard from Adams.

In 2009 we will be adding some $$$ to the equation to up the interest level in the league. In what is almost always a highly competitive league I think this will only add to that. Based on the discussion we have had through email I am putting together this proposal to be voted on by everyone. Please post comments for your vote or if there are some tweaks and changes we can discuss as well.

Entry Fee: $50 per person (This will include the fees for the league as well)
Total Entry Fees eligible for winning: $480

Divisional Winners: $40
1st Place: $350 (fitting #)
2nd Place: $50

I think this is a good starting point and we can continue to add on either the transaction fees or just up the entry fees in future years when people are ready. This setup works well because the only people rewarded are divisional winners and the two teams who make it to the finals. With this layout only those teams will get enough to cover their entry fees really and the main person benefiting is the person who wins it all.

If there are changes people would like to make please let me know. Please post a comment voicing your approval and agreement.

Rules:
The only real rule is that all leagues dues are now going to be due to the commissioner before the first games of the season. Anyone who has not paid will forfeit their game. if you having some serious problems paying then by all means just let me know and we can work something out because I don't want this to truly cause someone a financial issue and although it is not much, $50 is $50.

All checks will be cashed ASAP and placed into an safety box until season's end.

Welcome

Well after talking aout this for a year or two I have finally found an easy way for us to keep up with all things related to Tree Fitty Fantasy Sports. This is not just for football but we will be able to use this for basketball as well. You can post comments and throw in your two cents as long as you have a google account which I think everyone does. If not, get one.

I will repost some of the rule changes, $$$ league stuff, dates and everything else we need through this site from now on so bookmark it. Also, feel free to use this as a message board for the offseason. I will post keeper rosters (if I can figure out how) soon.

I have to take a moment to congratualte Jay for winning this years league in one of the best fantasy sports finals we have ever had. Both teams topping 130 shows that the two best teams were in the finals which is not something that usually happens.

Congrats Fag...I mean Jay.
