Looks like I’m back on the forum just in time. I’d be down for this.

I’d be down as well. Might as well try it with AF once.

perfect!

I appoint numi as the league manager again lol

Haha I don’t mind being the league manager again but actually King Kong set up the payment/prize system, so he definitely did the lion’s share of the work. Therefore I nominate him to be commissioner :)

I’m in and fine with being the commish. I’ll relaunch the league on Yahoo when I get a moment - probably early next week.

That would be fantastic – thanks so much for doing this. Is it possible to invite everyone from last year first, give them a week to sign up, and then open the rest of the league to new people on a first-come, first-served basis? We did this last year and it seemed to work well in terms of attracting a good group of folks.

dude $50k buy-in is too high — we all don’t work at fidelity making $850k base — could we do $12 or $15k instead??

What are the final payouts? Is it winner takes all?

king_kong's picture

Ok it looks like only the previous year’s commissioner can renew the league on Yahoo. Numi, when you get a chance, please do so.

As far as payouts, I believe last year was $300 First Place, $100 Second Place, $50 Third Place, $50 most points in regular season.

Count me in guys

Hey king_kong, I just renewed the league and you (and other participants from last year) should have received an invite. Also once you register I can make you a co-commissioner.

How do you guys feel about doing an auction draft instead of a snake draft this year? I guess we can ask the participants once they all arrive. It would be my first time doing an auction draft but it would be something fun, something different.

Can you please send me a link as well:)

How’s b-school treating you, Numi?

numi's picture

cfaboston28, thanks for your interest. We’re going to send invites out to last year’s participants first to see who wants to come back, but anyone that hasn’t signed up by this weekend will open up a spot and I can definitely let you know if that happens (my guess is that it will). Just send me an e-mail to numi.advisory@gmail.com with your info.

Business school was a lot of fun! Thanks for asking. It was great educational experience and also managed to visit ten countries in four continents during that time. I graduated a few weeks ago and now I’m around in NYC, starting to ramp up for interviews on the buy-side at various investment management companies and hedge funds. What have you been up to these days?

cfaboston28's picture

Good to know that you are done with school. Time flies!

Things are going well. No compliants. Changed the job last year and is quite busy these days. Getting married in couple of months:)

Glad to know that you are in NYC. We should meet up once you are settled in.

numi's picture

King Kong, for me to give you commissioner access you have to make your e-mail address public.

king_kong's picture

Done

How do you guys feel about the following:

Increase buy in to $75 or make it a 12 team league?

Also payouts as follows:

1st place: 75%

2nd place: 15%

Most points: 10%

Unless if we do 12 teams, then we can do payouts for top3 teams.

save me a spot. I forgot to rejoin the league lol

numi's picture

Hey ZeroBonus, nice to hear from you. Personally, I’m OK with the $75 buy-in though I like last year’s prize distribution better. In my view there is too much week-to-week randomness not to award the third place team, not to mention that a third prize gives two more teams an incentive to compete in the last week. I’m open to discussion though.

If you (or anyone else) were in the league last year, you should have received an invitation to re-join already. I’m going to open the league to any new participants after this weekend.

I like the 12 team idea. I don’t think we’d get 12 people in at $75, so I think we should keep it at $50 for now.

Well since I am winning it all this year, I want 1st place to get as much as possible.

Oh and btw if I get 1st pick again this year, we are swapping teams lol.

If $50 can get us 12 ppl then I am for it. If not, then I think we should increase the 10 team league to $75 (unless if a lot of people drop out due to the increase)

I think a higher buy-in would lead to a more competitive league? At least that has been the case in my other leagues.

numi's picture

how about $60 buy-in, and then 60%-20%-10%-10% for first place, second place, third place and most points

cfaboston28's picture

Please make it for 12 members if regular 10 gets filled by weekend. I want to be a part of this year’s league. $75 works for me as well but would prefer $50 or 60.

ZeroBonus's picture

League is only half full. Lets open it up for others. If we get 10 and there are more people who want to join we can increase the size.

Also king kong can you set-up the account on FF vault for the payments? Thanks!

dvictr's picture

$50 usd ? thats like 2 months of hard labor here

roberto's picture

I’d like to play.

king_kong's picture

I’ll set up the fantasy sports vault once we actually get a league going. At this point, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of interest.
