shaqers 0 Posted April 3, 2007 1 SPOT remaining !!!!! Brand new dynasty league organized and operated by me, who will be commissioner.......for those interested, please read the entire "League Constitution" here and hit me with a PM only if you're serious about joining....not looking for any "lookie-loos", only hard-core fanatics are urged to reply (and smack is not only tolerated but encouraged, just keep it about the league)......and yeah, the stakes are pretty high and the commitment runs deep, but the rewards are also sweeter than molasses..... Field Of Green Dynasty League Welcome, The objective of the Field Of Green league is to assemble a group of serious, astute, fantasy football fanatics to participate in a straight-forward, dynasty format league. The league is structured so as to reflect this ideal, and the true GM in all of us can appreciate the dynasty format – building a championship contender from scratch, keeping as many players as you like from season to season, rookie redrafts, and pulling the strings to make it all come together in your own vision. We are asking for a 5 year commitment beginning with the inaugural draft of 2007 (See League Fees in league description). The quality of a league is first and foremost about the owners. What makes a great fantasy league owner? Some of the characteristics are 1) following the rules, but first of all, be aware of the league rules (trade guidelines, scoring, starting lineups, rosters, etc.); and 2) being an active participant - once the draft is done, I have yet to see a team that can manage itself; and 3) competitiveness, play to win and stay to the end, especially in dynasty, fortunes may change in a hurry; and 4) exhibiting true sportsmanship, it’s not necessary that everyone in a league be the best of buddies, in fact, I have found that leagues work best when most owners are not close associates. But it is totally necessary for all to conduct themselves in the ways of the great sportsmen, who are in it for the love of the game/competition/money, or whatever the case may be; and lastly, 5) being accountable. Whether it’s league fees that are due, correspondence that is required (e.g., a league vote), trades that are proposed, etc., be timely, responsible, and above suspicion. And lastly, we believe a good commissioner is best when he is not too visible due to the league running smoothly with clearly defined rules/guidelines, but most of all, having quality, dedicated, upstanding owners. But when it’s time to act, prudent and fair justice is the ultimate goal in resolving issues. To all who would like the chance to participate in this league, which I guarantee will be entertaining, loads of fun, and full of diverse, dynamic, competitive owners, please drop us a line (i.e., email) to get on the mailing list at either oak_assassin@yahoo.com or allan_fern@yahoo.com Monthly (at least) updates will be sent out to prospective owners until the due date for initial fees to keep the league apprised of any proposed modifications/additions to the league rules/agenda/by-laws. We look forward to providing/enjoying a great fantasy football league experience for years on end.

shaqers 0 Posted April 6, 2007 I understand a lot of people's hesitation, like who's this guy (shaqers)....so let me just say that I'm not rich, but I'm doing better than 85-90 of the rest of America in pulling a 6-fig income. Stealing a few hundred dollars from ppl ain't gonna make my day (as my rep and integrity are worth far more than that), but winning $2000 off of $300 will make my day........My motivation is competition, and for these stakes (and commitment), I expect the true competitors to come to the front.... I respect everyone's knowledge, abilities, and perspective. So u can get in, too. So, if you're speaking for yourself and you'd be interested, what would it take to ease your concerns and join in? Short of my home address and phone number, I've already committed myself to share my workplace, cell, and work # with all owners once they've come on board...I understand this is not for everyone.... League is setup in MFL.com already and we got 7 owners committed and signed up....... need a few more hardcore GUYS up n hereeeeee...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romulan 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Wow kinda fishy. Great league and setup But.... Both here and footballguys.com http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...howtopic=312000 You mentioned the same stuff and the same line of how you would not steal due to your reputation. Well how come you are brand new in both forums? Can anyone vouch for you that knows you and is a long time member here or there? How are you handling this money? Lots of questions but I have to hand it to you very nice league rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well how come you are brand new in both forums? Can anyone vouch for you that knows you and is a long time member here or there? How are you handling this money? Lots of questions but I have to hand it to you very nice league rules. I am not a regular poster or anything, but i do browse around in ANTS, footballguys and here. A few ppl in ANTS have vouched for myself and the league administrator (who will handle all the fees). I have a few leagues in ANTS and myfantasyleague with some of the regular ants posters. We have gotten a few people from various sites and just like what i mentioned on earlier posts above, have no hesitation of giving my work,cell# to anyone who would like to get in. I understand that this league is not everyone and the sole purpose of the league is to get a bunch of hardcore competitive active guys in a relatively higher stakes league. We have 9 ppl signed up on the league page in mfl and have 1 email commitment. Just like what i said on my earlier post....i understand the hesitation since i'm relatively new here. I make 6-figure income (just barely though ), and stealing from ppl aint gonna make me WEALTHY. My morals and reputation are worth more than that. Come on in, we got 2 spots left.....trying to get this league to be one of the most COMPETITIVE leagues around !!!!! As you can tell, a lot of THOUGHT has been put in the league rules and several teams onboard have put in their 2cents on how to possibly improve the league setup. if you're seriously interested, here's our email oak_assassin@yahoo.com - league administrator or allan_fern@yahoo.com - myself (commish) GolfJim above (on this thread) is in. I have spoken to him and is exactly the type of owner we want -- CONFIDENT owner who talks smack right from the get-go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
