They are all separate games spread out throughout the year.You can play one or all the games.(or as many as you want) When playing please make your team name the same as your VBBF name so we can tell who each other is. I will keep a thread going with the top 5 finishers in each game and a thread with the overall standings. I each game 5 pts awarded to 1st place 4pts for 2nd..... all the way to 1pt for 5th place.The player with the most overall points at the end of the year will be crowned VBBF Fantasy Sports Champion 2007.(See Robert to claim your virtual prize) Hope to see a lot of you in the leagues!!!

Last of the Sane Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I don't get it. What are "fantasy sports"? How can you compete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 I don't get it. What are "fantasy sports"? How can you compete? They are internet games (free of charge) where you compete against other members of the group by picking the outcomes of games or by picking players. In Golf for example.... you would select a foursome of golfers which you feel will do well in this weekends tournament. You earn points based upon how well the golfers you selected performed.The team owner (one of us) with the most total points at the end of the year wins! In soccer, you choose the 11 players within a given salary cap which you think will perform the best for the upcoming week. Same thing goes re: points. I actually find it fun to play games where I know little about the sport.It's kind of funny to score well when you know little or nothing about it.

JW Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hmmm maybe if we entice people with a Grand Prize for the overall champ....perhaps an autographed Vega bar?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Brendan is in my livingroom right now, I can make it happen So far we don't have too many people interested. I think it takes an event like the NCAA tournament to bring out a large crowd. But we're still small and growing and in due time, we'll thrive on these kinds of group fantasy sports.

JW Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Overall Scoring..... due to low numbers, we will use the top 3 finishers in each game to determine the overall VBBF champ. 3pts for 1st place2pts for 2nd1pt for 3rd I'll also keep an ongoing file to record 1st through 3rd in each event.
